They walked down to the stream and
secured the water for the nearly fam

to the hill and proceeded to tie the
horses preparatory to feeding them.
The two animals were hitched to the
hind wheels. Mrs. Rundlett had just
sat down in front Of the buggy to pre-
pare their lunch, when the sharp report
of rifle was heard, and bullet grazed
her cheek. striking one of the horses in
the neck. The party al jumped to
their feet, frightened, and for the mo-

Mrs. Rundlett felt in The pocket of her
dress and found that the revolver she

atty of the mysterious event he had
been an actor in. In order to observe
as much as possible the conclusion Of
the strange scene, he concealed himself
in corner Of the porch, and anxiously
listened. as every moment the noise
within became louder and louder. 1t
seemed as if a warm strife had arisen:
he thought he could distinguish the
roHgh voice of the bridegroom, who
loudly commanded silence. Then fol-
lowed long pause, which was succeed
ed by the piercing scream Of a female
voice. After that another silence, and
then voice Of loud lamentations,
which lasted nearly quarter of an
hour. The lights were then suddenly
extinguished, the confused noise of the
crowd was again heard, and the whole
multitude came streaming out of the
church, and fastened noisily down to
