his properly, she must marry h"a' u
within thirteen months, the crremo-
nv being performed in barn III the
dark. The marriage came or ac'
cording to the provisions OF the VIII.
but four different persons had hrell
paying attention to the widow, aud
no one but herself knew who was
the favored one. They were al
there, and each ever after protested
that he had held her hand and been
married to her in the barn on that
eventful night. She knew whom
she intended to marry, but conld
not swear that she had been we'd
ded to the right one. The clergy
man knew nothing about it, and the
question was never settled. How
ever, one of the men took posses
sion of the woman and bought the
others off for $4,000 apiece.
