ALLEN MHJUARY'N ROMANTIC RIDE ^ A ItOITX/> Tin: WOULD T\tr<tn A rhunxtiH' fiirl sml fWtOOO. How it Oiu/i imtftl. The origination of this seetningly strange undertaking is simply a plain every day illustration ol the average American youth's earliest adventures on the sea of matrimonial fancies?notwithstanding the fact that it6 termination is a real living touch of the most wonderful and enthusing of modem romances. In the spring of '96, young Mc Quary disposed of the "Rustler" printing plant in Neosho, Mo., where he had lived for 14 years? 7 of which had been spent in the printing business?and went south for his health, as well as to look up a new business location. At a small place, about 45 miles from Little Rock, Ark., he became acquainted with the young daughter of a wealthy planter ; j| and as time went by, the two becair.e everlastingly infatuated with one another, and concluded that the best thing to do under the circumstances would be to ^ get married. The young lady was the only child of this planter; and to make her more than ever dear to him in his old age. was the fjjet that the mother died when the girl was born. The old gentleman was true to the love of his first and only wife, and had never again married. When lie was asked to consent to t he match, he sternly gave t hem to understand there was "time enough yet." The couple, ol course, were yet encouraged, dos pite the father's refusal to con sent to a speedy marriage, and as time glided l>v, Mr. MeQuary l>o came more intimately acquainted with the girl's father; and oft times thereafter he would spend hour after hour in tti#? ol<t man's reading room, talking and reading about many of t lie by ? gone days of this and other ronn-A. tries. The obi gentleman would often, on these occasions, throw out the idea that the young men of the present generation were not as brave and heroic as were A OA8TOI1IA. those of his earlier (lays. Mr. < McQuary, of course, stood up i 1 for the hovs of today by assuring the old fellow that no such op- ] I port unities now presented them ] selves for our boys to show their i ugrit,'' etc., etc., and linallv, one i I day, clinched his argument, by asserting that lie would gladly 1 I avail himself of any opportunity ! i to prove his assertions, il by so < doing, he could only get permis < sion to marry the girl of his i heart's choice, lie realized later | the expense of this remark, when ] 1 | the old gentleman confronted him | with a written document and 1 stated that lie was going to test his earnestness in the matter ; it < was then that lie told Mr. Me- ] Quarv he could marry his daugh- j ter in eighteen months, provided i that lie would, in the mean tiinoli earrv out the conditions stipulat - ( | ed the contract, ol which a lot- i lowing is a true copy :? < Tiik ''Conditions,"?By the fulliill- | i merit of wliicli you stint! tie rewarded ; by tho hand of my daughter in mar- !

It is well to' remark here that | the .$5,000 named in the conditions, was added to the document J after the old gentleman had tes!ed I he strength of tlu> vnnmn man's love for his daughter?:itxi limlinjx that young Mct^uarv was I not to he hatllod. ho thon named that amount as a just reward.
