Mrs. Moorhead spent last summer In Eu

"You shan't marry Theodore Kelp. I
don't like him," said Mr. Prudhome of Red
Lake, Minn. ' j
"But I like him, papa, and while I hate
to disobey you 1 mean to marry hlin," said
his daughter Adeline.
Whereupon Mr. Piudhome stormed In the
-conventional way, and wLen he learned
that an elopement was on the program
he took the most direct method of Inter
ference. He locked the girl up.
Young Kelp went to the trystlng place,
but Adeline wasn't there. He watted, but
he did not come and then he went boldly
to the house to rnaka Inquiries. II found
that th girl waa la prison la her owa
room. He coold not get up eh with bar
even, to make another date for another
elopement.
"This is a regular sixteenth century sit
uation," thought Theodore. "It Is "up to
me to batter down the walls around th
donjon keep or scale the battlements."
"This Is not the sixteenth century," said
Mr. Prudhome. "If you try to break In
here I will have you arrested tor burglary.
Go on away."
Theodore went and told hi troubles to
a lawyer.
"Sure, we'll fix that," said th attorney.
"We'll get out a writ of habeas corpus."
They did, and the constabulary went to
the Prudhome house and" served the writ
and took possession of the young lady and
brought' her before the county commis
sioner. This was turning the tables with a ven
geance and Mr. Prudhome saw that paren
tal opposition was in vain. Like a wis
man he withdrew his objections and th
marriage was celebrated at one.
