he tied. Suddenly, however, the lady's eye caught that of an old
flame, and in an instant she dropped the arm of her expectant
bridegroom, and threw herself into those of her old lover. In a
trice a coach was called; and before the astonished bridegroom

lover were driving up lilrkgate at express speed. The bridegroom
shouted and ran, the bridesmaids ran and shouted, and both sought
till intervention of the police, but as officer "No. 00" did not
" know any just cause or impediment" why a young woman should
not change her mind, and substitute Dick for Tom, if the whim so
took her, he allowed the coach to rattle off, and left the jilted
bridegroom to wend his weary way homewards sadly and alone.
