e . TirgiRIED TO A NUN Result of the Visit of a Company of Young Students to a Convent. The 3faiden Crosses the Me. ie:1 II Line on Horseback With Iler American Lover. She was a Mexican, he a native of Tennessee. Tlie bewitching lieatity of the girl and the nealesty of the young num attracted the attention of the people to the simple at the Union depot last evening. It was the old story. They had been recently »tar- ried and wen going to Now York to spend their honeymoon; thus writes a romance in tie. Pittsburg Dispach. \When I was a nun, Frank,\ the girl said as she showed her pretty white teeth, \I didn't enjoy suet' per- fect freedom as I do now.\ The remark was overheard and to the excited brain of a reporter it at once conjured up a story of the ro- mantic type. A married num is in deed, a rarity, but it is not surprising at all that a man should fall in tote with a beautiful woman. She was pretty and petite. tier skin was swarthy, the eyes and:hair dark, anti features clear cut and regular. g liss s was a perfect speeimen of SpattisINomaninsA with a reguish • smile that t 14 --‘ rNiduister could not chain. She never sin ai1t have been dedicated to a religious life. ill ilie first place, and hen is when , the mis- take was made. it was no fault of hers that she followed a natural iui awl jumped the high walls with her Romeo. The story of the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Frank Joseph, is %pile ro- mantic and out of the ordinary. A young doctor in Pittsburg, who was at the station to meet them, and a great friend of the groom, furnished the fads. \Joseph 81141 1, \ In' Said, \Wet at college and during the SUIlliner vitca - ti011 we went with a party into Mexico to collect the fauna of the country and geological speeimens. This was about five years ago. On the road between Moi.terey and the litt te town of Saltille is loeated an ancient, con- vent, anti it is there Joseph 'not his wife. It seems in AleNiro Ord girls art not ;Tivoli their ehoie.. about ee- eepting the veil, but the parents se• beet one from the family to follow a religious life. There is no other al- ternative and she is wiliest:al to obey. \The result is that in many Mo'xi- can eta vents you find pl .of y itt women who are not. o by :1 , thee!) smso art. there j because they can't help thents.lve-, or because they don't wish t.. - 1 dkap point their parents. lYith this ex• planation it can be easily undersas it hOW the nun in question titre...6 - aside vows and conscientious :temples and followed tie' teachings of her heart, and I will say lasad also. \Well one hot afternoon as we were tramping along the dusly road beyond Monterey, eoutplainitig alsatt the heat and wishing we had some- thing to wet our parelted throats, the convent loomed up in the distance. We didn't know M hat it was at first and suppoaed it. was wayside inn. With a warhoop we made a rim for the old stone building. but, found the gate locked. We made considerable racket when one of thi»eins tame out. We told her we were thirsty and hungry, and asked if we could rest awhile. She invited us in and we sat on the grass inside of the stone wall. The lady was kind hearted, and she directed the girls to bring us food and drink, which they did freoly. 1 noticed most of the nuns were young and pretty. They appeared to let' glad to see a lot of young fellows,liad enjoyed it as much as we did. They smiled roguishly as well as sweetly. and after the awe of the place had worn off the boys took great pleasure in flirting with them. The Mother Superior scowled, but it was no good. The girls didn't see men very often and they were determined to enjoy the sight while it lasted. I suppose we remained there an hour or more, when we returned to Monterey well pleased with the afternoon's visit. \As long as we stayed in Monterey after that I would frequently miss Joseph. He would suddenly disap- pear for a time, anti then turn up. None of us dreamed he was court- ing one of the Sisters, but this was what he was doing. He Was in the habit of meeting the girl outside of the wall, and the romantic courtship soon ripened into love. The day we wore going to leave he confided the secret to me and wanted me to help him steal the nun out and get her to the border. It was a risky piece of business at that time as there had been some trouble along the frontier, and the country was full of Mexican soldiers. I saw looming up before me a Mexican prison, and I bad no desire to spend my time in a dun- geon. I knew very well if we at- tempted it we would be arrested be- fore we get out of Joseph was very disconsolate over the prospect, but he said he was do- tal:mined to take the girl with him to the United States and marry her. I thought it a playful fancy; and did all 1 could to dissuade him. I ar- gued that she was a Mexican and he aYankets. The chances wen , that their love for each other would soon die out, and their lives would then be miserable. It was wrong to steal the Ii un from the ti invent and take her into a strange land. Above all, the danger of being entight was too great, and if such a hitch oseurred they might, never be married. rrki s lino of argnment had its elfeet, and in a very unhappy frame of mind he re , turned to the north IVA went thiek his college studiel. kt.! fergetten all about. the affair, when, a short time ago, I re se i s ed a telegratto from Joseph's father, in Isneessee, asking me if I had heard that Frank had married it Mexican 111411.
