Then ending, after several years of sentimental labor, in "a splendid, handsome fellow " skipping with ail his bride's clothing and Jewelry and abandoning her ufier a few hours of married life. These are the outlines of a tearful experience ex-perience which lias been traveled by a pretty little woman who left the Gibson House last evening and departed the ci'y on a train for her old home, depressed de-pressed in feelings, almost to tho verge of hysteria. Bui her stock of knowledge knowl-edge of the ways of the world in general, gen-eral, uud in particular men with largo black mustaches, enlarged to a consul-'fable consul-'fable extent. To relate the story in chronological order, it is necessary lo revert lo a -period about three years ago, wheu a Miss Wheeler, who resides near the village of West I'nity, Ohio, with her step father, who is a fanner, w as spending spend-ing the heated term at Uevil's Lake, in Michigan, Miss Wheeler was charmingly charm-ingly unsophisticated, and while, it Is extremely improbable that she has ever U'en mentioned as a beauty, she was better than all, an honest, blue-eyed country girl, w ith a strapping physique, a magiiiliccnt. appetite, ami an unfailing unfail-ing flow of spirits. Miss Wheeler stood out in such healthful contrast as compared to the crowd of enervated belles who were up In the bracing atmosphere for repairs, that she was constantly besieged by a crowd of admirers. 'J'hls aort of worship wor-ship was entirely new to the country lass, uud her usually steady head became be-came as completely turned us docs the intellect of the truck tiend who accidentally acci-dentally backs a short horse that by some phenomenal turn of fate and a shadow of a system reaches first place. The young men about Devil's Lake, despl'to its name, didn't fall over thcinselve ,. every lime they approached her; their hair was cut differently from thu hoy at her home; they shaved ofteticr, dressed belter, carried canes, knew more about poetry than pork, smoked cigarettes, and drawled glittering nonsense non-sense through their noses. In short, the Devil's Lake young man seemed a superior sort of bning; and Miss Wlieeler was charmed. Among tho fellows fel-lows who were unusually exiiert at tipping tip-ping their hats and meeting her ut most opportune times wni one who gave his name as W. D. Fuller, uttorney-al-law, 'nvinololl. K V. Miss Wheeler had never heard of Covington, but she found It on a mill), and with that recommendation recom-mendation a courtship began between be-tween them. They dodged ihe sunshine, sun-shine, rowed on the lake, swung in the hammock, talked senseless things, mid the acquaintance developed by Fuller ripened so that one evening, swearing by the moon, thev became engaged. Fuller bade Miss Wheeler keep the affair a secret for a time, which she did. The following year Mr. Fuller visited West I'nity, met all the folks, remained at the Wheeler homeslea.1 for weeks lit a time without paying his hoard, and finally he asked for the hand of the daughter of the household, which wn given him, but the same degree of secrecy se-crecy was observed ami the neighbors werejiolio the wiser. Just n week ngo from last evening they were married. Instead of a wedding wed-ding being held, aa is common in the country, Mr. Fuller said he had learned his mother was exiiected tn die, mid consistent with his feeling of sadness, the marriage wa strictly private, nobody no-body being let into the secret except the member of the family and the old minister w ho officiated. Laat Saturday morning the lisppy groom strolled down town nnd returned re-turned with the information that his mother had died and he must hasten to the bereaved home. But the considerate man borrowed his wife's brand-new gold watch, and look their trunk containing all her wedding presents and all her clothing iu order to ac lu-r tho troubbt of checking the cumbersome affair w lien die followed him. as she was to do the following Tuesday.
