The minister, too. entered into the spirit of the affair, and to mystify the people still more, the bride entered the barn alone at one door and the groom at an- other. There were at least 200 present. The ceremony proceeded in darkness. ‘and‘at its close the crowd broke for the bride. and carried her home in triumph in a chair. But here began the trouble, the widower. the bachelor. and the two young men each swore that he held the widow‘s lump hand and was married to her; 1e crowd could not decide the minister didn't know. and the widow was quzzled. for all claimed to be en- gagm to her, and though the widower was her choice he might have been jolted aside; indeed. he acknowledged that somebody tried to choke him in the dark. The four men fought. but that didn't settle'it. The Guests ducked two of them in the brook, Fbut still no light. Finally the widower compromised with the others by giving them £100 each. and reigned as her lord. One of the young men is married. but still declares that he was married to Widow Dods- worth in the big barn. The other also protests that he is her lawful husband. The bachelor is dead. but maintained to the end. "I married herâ€"I ought to have ‘ icr l" A correspondent. of the London 8!.

In the seat behind them sat their friends. one of whom was a eportivo young lady, fond of practical jokes. and rather defiant of public opi- nion. As the train dashed through a short and very dark tunnel. she leaned over and imprinted a resonant kiss on the cheek of the young lady in front of her. A scream followed, and laughter came from the darkness all over the car. As the train ran into daylight, the in- sulted young lady turned on her inno- ccnt escort, and with snapping eyes and flaming cheeks skid : “ Yes. Some are made wholly ofiron, except the top board.
