Two Texas Girls Get Tired ot a Se

Chase! Tho Capture!
An event which oocurrcd last evening
has crested no llttlo sensation. Last
evening about 7:30 It was discovered
that two of the young lady Inmates of
the convent were absent from their dor-
mitories. Suspicion being raised It was
much strengthened when the lists and
cloaks belonging to theso two young
ladles were absent from their accus-
tomed pegs. Not being able to find
their presenco within the precincts of
the convent It was naturally concluded
that the two missing girls had run
away. Tho convent was soon In a stste
of excitement quite opposed to the
usual tranquility that reigns supreme
wituin us wans une ot mo truants is
a ward of Captain John Dobbin
who lives on Avenue C at
the corner or Fifth street. This

municated with. Captain Dobbin re-
ceived the news with dismay but at
onoe sought to take such steps as would
lead to tho discovery of the whereabouts
of the fugitives. Ho provided himself
witii a lantern anu alter n cursory ex-
amination of tho convent's environs
went to all or the hotels Inquiring after
these rash and wayward daughters of
Kve but his edorts were fruitless
no clue being able to be found
of them. These two young ladles
whose relatives apparently live In the
to tbe convent In September last and
are of tho Protestant persuasion. Their
age was between IS and 10 years and
nothing in their conduct hitherto had
given any cause for complaint. Two
days ago the mother of one of the girls
visitcu mem at mo convent and it la
neiieveu leit her daughter some
money and It is probable that this
money was tho fund unon which ther
relied to make their escape. Their
means of exit was by climbing over the

at the oonvent.
Tbe young girls were this morning
seen in n store uy uaptain ungues wno
questioned them and from their some-
what embarrassed manner suspected
they were tbe two mlsslnir tiunlls ot the
convent. They were also seen on the
plaza this morning taking an early oup
of coffee and at about 11:30 they were
found at tbe International depot by Cap-
tain Hughes who conveyed tbe truants
to the convent. It was their intention
to proceed to Austin. They lodged last

There can bo no doubt that the
whole affair was after all only u

has occurred at the convent for over 33
years with the exception of a faux pas
of one of tho pupils about n year ago It
is not to ue marvelled at mat mis esca-

'T was upon n bleak night dearie as!
Over many a brlgbt.'green table In tho
ramblers store -
While 1 drinking almost (Inlilogfmy

As If some great power'd been link-
In ir. llnklnir out mv life before:
'TIs the past I then did mutter taunting
Fain would I above It soar.
As I sat tn my lone chamber I did quail
ueiuro tue uanger
Of each hurrying eager stranger who
had broucbt his trolden store.
From his cold I now might take him.
iiut again nis menus migni staxe
him
To those rare and beauteous pieces
which all men seem to adore
Little known upon this shore.
Presently my soul grew calmer and
wuu nu greut nceu ut armour
I "did then approach the shutter" with
but little fear or flutter:
And 1 seemed to see wlerd phantoms
from some one In tbe cutter?
'Slr"sald 1 "that groan has tonched me;
touched me to the very core;
Speak kind sir I tbee Implore."
As I listened almost soulless all at once
i leit a Doiuness
As upon the steps I trembled and on
mo the rain did nour:
Then I heard a weak voice crying "Oh
iur uou sane ueipi I'm uying;"
Some poor lost one thought I crying
crvintr at mv verv door.
Like a parting spirit sighing for that
otuer uriguter snore
This was all I heard no more.
"Sir" said I "If you're a stranger' I
would say that you're In danger
For I truly wish your safety nothing
more.
Tell me did they find yon napping: have
they your poor soulbeen trapping?
Have they your young life been sap-

Then 1 took him on my shoulder as I
felt him growing colder and I laid "
him on the floor.
This I did and nothing more.
Then the stranger seemed to tremble as
his last thoughts did assemble:
"A gentleman!" quoth I as costly were.
tbe clothes he wore;
Then I beard words faintly spoken as if
by a heart most broken:
"If 1 bad but known of Emerson If 1
bad known him before)
I did pledge my dearest token where the
light can ne'er explore.
Hush I said he the billows roar."
