who heard the stirring address deliv
ered at the Methodist church last
night by Re?. H. M. Turnev, and the
-??iggeatioo of the pastor of that church
at its close.
*lr. Turney's lecture portrayed the
'Tils of intemparance in more or less
arid colors. It was illustrated by rem
aiscences from his own life, of which
* years was devoted to an effort to con
ie all the liquor made The speak
~ ised. both 'n^'-bos and humor with
vhicb to make his points c'.ear and to
drive home his arguements.
Mr. Tunner offered two remedies for
the drink cure, Oae was the "blood
care," or tbe acceptance of religion.
The other the ballot. "Vote down the
traffic," he urgid.
. But it was not until after tbe lectur

Their Elopement
(Original.]
"What Is this story, Roderlgo, about
your having planned an elopement
with the ranchman's daughter?"
"Oh, senor, let us not talk about
that"
"Come, tell me about It"
"Well, senor, I don't like to, but If
I must I must. Because Aran go had a
good ranch and several thousand sheep
tie must expect to wed his daughter to
some grandee. He was a widower,
and Juanita was his only child. If he
had had a son he would not have been
so careful of her. As It was, he watch
ed her more carefully than his sheep,
which roamed where they liked. But
Juuulta was never allowed to leave the
? much lest she meet some young fel
low without any property and, losing
her heart, make it unpleasant for the
old man and his plans. I had some
?Capital In Arango's bauds, and he re
lied on me to keep the sheep from
freezing or starving and to do the sell
ing. I could not see why he would
not favor me for a son-in-law, but he
did not. True, I am twenty years old
er than his daughter, but that Is not
so bad, and do not women prefer to
marry men older than themselves? I
acted very honorably with Aran go. I
asked him for his daughter's hand
without having first spoken to her, In
stead of acting like an American and
getting the girl's heart without perm Is
slon."
"But did you not try to run away
with the girl?"
"Patlcnce. senor. I am coming to
that. What you suppose Arango do
wheu I ask him honorably for his
daughter? He laugh In my face. That
laugh was the only answer I ever got
I bore It as best I could, but never try
to take a mean revenge.
"Arango would never let any young
men come to visit at the ranch, but hla
daughter, who had been educated at
the convent, sometimes had her school
mates come to see her. One day one of
these girls, Blanca Savedra, came to
the ranch. She was a tall girl, with
blue eyes and red cheeks. I did not
think her beautiful, because she liad
on her upper lip that suspicion of a
mustache which for me would spoil
any woman's beauty. But there was a
careless swing with her and an honest
bearing that I liked. At first she did
not take any notice of roe, but after a
time she began to make friends with
me. Then I thought, 'Here Is a chance
to console myself for the loss of Juan
ita and at the same time let the old
man see that I am not so much dis
appointed after all.'
"One time I started in to ask Blanca
to be my wife when she threw up her
bonds and exclaimed:
?"Oh. heavens, is this the constancy
of man? Not two months ago you pro
posed for the hand of my friend, aud
uow you are going to propose for mine.
Here is Juanita dying for love of you.
who do not deserve to be loved.'
"Well. I tell her that I did not know
that my love for JuaniU was return
ed. Besides. Arango would not con
sent. Would not It be better to take
the girl who was free to act for her
self?
" You have no pluck.' she said. 'If
I loved a girl who loved me, I would
elope with her.'
"Then for the first time it occurred
to uie to have revenge on Arango for
bii Insult Besides, If I marry his
daughter I must ?ome time share her
property with her. So I say to Blauca
that if she will help me I will carry
off Juanita.
" 'That Is easy,' she say. 'All you
have to do is to provide relays of
horses to the railroad fifty miles
away. I will contrive to get Juanita
off the ranch to you, and you cau get
a train before the old man knows of his
girl's escape.'
"In a few days all was ready. I had
arranged to have a butkboard with
the swiftest horse on the rauch near
the entrance to the ranch at 11 o clock
at night, and the two girls were to
meet me there. I asked Blanca what
reward she expected for her disinter
ested action, aud she said she acted
o_ly through friendship for two lov
ers. I told her that she must go with
us and live with us as long as sho
liked. The truth Is I was more in love
with her than Juanita, hut Juanita
would have the ranch some day. and it
would have been very foolish for me
to give her up for Blanca, who told me
that she had no money at all. Don't
you think so, senor?"
"By al! menus. Go on."
"On the night we were to run away I
waited under a clump of trees with
the backboard, for the moon was full,
and It was light as day. They n?a'.t
have had trouble tn carrying out tij'.-ir
plans to get away, for it was nearly
12 o'clock before they came. When I
saw two girls running toward me I
; bought of Arango laughing at me. and
I laughed out loud myself. Along came
the girls in the moonlight, Blanca pull
ing Juanita after her.
"When they came up to the buck
board 1 said:
" 'Be brave, Juanita. You will never
regret this action.'
" 'You will not, sweetheart' said
Blanca. 'He is right.*
"Blanca put Juanita into the buck
board while I held the reins. The
horse started too soon, and X was
obliged to attend to him exclusively.
When I turned Blanca stood before me
In a woolen shirt and trousers, cover
ing me with a revolver.
J " 'Git!' said a changed voice,
j "What could I do? Blanca was a
man and had planned to run away
with Juanita himself."
"Were they forgiven?"
"Yes; the old man thought It so good
a Joke on me that he wrote them to
come back." BRUCE PARKER.
