Mean while, she bail become engaged without her father's consent or knowledge, to a young man, a clerk in Kansas City and the ladies with whom she had been work ing were surprised one morning to hear her ask if thev would make her a dress that day, as the was going to be married The dress was made, the young man was in town, and in a short time they were made man and wife and were on the af ternoon train on their way East. From what the father said he was not altogeth er ignorant of the state of affairs, but had no idea it was so near the termination.
