ANOTHER ELOPEMENT.

SWEET SEVENTEEN. Runs Away with a Piano-player. J A Man Who -Has Not Only Broken I Records, bnt also Hearts. ,^ The romantic story of -the runaWajr | girl from Cairterton plated m ,\ "Truth's" last assue has- brought j tforth a letter from Waipukurau giv- i ing particulars of jantother elope-. I r-cieiit. This tells the tale of the i Jfligtot from Master ton of a young J Sgirf, just sweet seventeen, with Q.J '*a man wlio lias -Jiofcff broken records, but to quote the letter. Thp . i<girl's mother is a widow, tiierey.be- I tins, unfortunately, no fatber *<» go § f and fetch, iier home, as W.as dons \ with th© runaway girl Irom Gartier- 8 'ton. The Waipukurau writer pro- | cepds : "U this young girTs lather | ?was Irvingy I am ■qxtiie sure : he | 5be 4 - breakaiig records also. 1 could g jgive you her name), but I do not | it is~ necessary.
