While investigating the matter, he heard
the second explosion near by, and look

one could be found who knew anything

CHAPTER w.

We will now return to the peculiar po.
sition in which we last discovered Mr. Dick
ana Miss Carrie. That the latter's plain
confession had caused a certain degree OF
embarrassment in the family was evident.
But an appealing look from Jennie reused
the puzzled parents to a sense of the ne
cessities of the case, and moment after
the = two souls with but q single thought
were made happy by the unqualified con-
sent of the fond father to a union which
foreshadowed nought bat happiness.
One by one the wellwishers Of the
loving couple departed. Each one had his
or her own nominations as to the possible
and probable results of what must be de-
cided when "the two" were left alone to
give them an opportunity to confide their
prospective ideas each unto the other. =
= i = Mr.. G. then took counsel from
his better but not larger half as to wha,
preparations should be made for the com.
| ing events, and rested from the fatigue
consequent upon his mental labor.
The next day (ruesdayl vas a silen,
one with the Grundys. John went to the
woods for a tree. which he surrcptitiously
conveyed through the lane into the barr
and ,,h:vn covered it so carefully that no one
could find it. r. Ze5 3h
Mary was busy with her household Of
fairs, Hattie was practising new Christ
mas carol, Harry was making pictures in
the snow and doing all sorts Of odd tricks
Tom was at his lathe, aud Dot and Dick
were growing over imaginary something's
that were visible only to themselves. Car.
ric was occupied with her own thoughts
Mr.. G. was asleep and Mrs. g. was wide
awake. But nothing was said about wha,
most interested them all. y. -
Wednesday and Thursday came and
went without anything Of special nott
transporting, and then what is related
in the preceding chapter occurred on Fri
day. e..
Dodgeville chronicle. [volume] (Dodgeville, Wis.) 1862-current, 1869-12-31

Immediately shipped to Avoca so Uncle
John couldn't put those in his pocket, but
he did put pair Of kids and muffler in
his pocket when he got to Bishop & Mar
veson's, besides o good many other things
that they always have on hand. Of course
they had to have picture. So they sat
together at !. G. Jones'. And a queer
picture it was. For Aunt Mary could not
help laughing, neither could Uncle John,
aud it was good natured, and that made it
pleasant.
After leaving the photograph gallery
they didr't know exactly what to do or
where TO go; but they soon discovered
that J. Y. Rogers had an excellent assert.
ment of groceries, and then they found
out that n. Whitman had ecerything in the
dry goods line. BY this time their arms
and pockets were so full that they had to
find place to deposit their numerous pnr-
chases. And they arrived at the CONNER
ciai House Just in time to find the sleigh
at the door, with Mrs. e., and Jennie, and
John waiting for them, to get their advice
as to the disposition to be made OF TIER
purchases, and they concluded to employ
| half a-dozen teams to convey the articles
| to their destination. They had not got
fairly started when an exclamation from
Jennie caused all to recognize the fact that
Dick Clane was approaching with his
| spanking team; but he vouchsated few
words. He was going over to James
Marr's after furniture, he said; but what
he could want Of furniture, Of course no
one could imagine. But later in the Gay
he was discovered in the at Of conveying
numerous parcels from different business
houses to his CATER, and one might imag-
me that he was going to DO something
with them that was. for the time being a!
