teenth and Market streets, to see young
| couple married There was nothing re-
markably startling about that The cere-
| mony was after the usual manner. The

groom was strong of arm and stout OF
heart, and seemed right proud OF his bride.
| Father Lawler looked as benignant and
| spoke as fatherly as he usually does insuch
| cases. In spite Of all this, however, it was
one of the most romantic weddings that has
happened here for many day. From the
parties concerned, and from those who
have known the family intimately for
years, we are enabled to give the details of
most romantic story. About ten years
ago there lived in this city family named
| Sinclair, consisting of father, mother, and
two daughters. With them there was a
young gentleman named Edward Fee. The
| family had been we'll. TODD at one time, but
luck changed, and at the time mentioned
they had just enough to live well.
One of the young ladies, Miss Kittie, was
but l3 years of age, and was dashing little
brunette. Her sister, Maggie, was fair of
| face and soft of speech, and between her
| and young Fee there soon sprang up very
close attachment. He was % years old
and didn't have great deal of money, and
she was Just 10. Their friendship deep
ened into love as the time passed, and one
fine day the young man told his love. His
business was not paying him very well, and
after much consultation with friends, Fee
left the city to make his fortune. His ad
ventures for the last ten years would fill a
very big book. He travelled over the entire
South, but luck was against him, and just
as he seemed to be on the eve of winning a
fortune something would happen to destroy
the whole thing.
One morning he woke up in Texas and
found himself herding cattle. He was
strong and young, and used to an out-of-
door life, and had little capital to back
him. The result was that he learned the
tricks of the trade, and became one of the
best cattle traders and herders in all that
country.
All this time he had been working with
the intention of coming back some day and
marrying the Kentucky girl, but one day
he received letter from friend saying it
was rumored that Maggie Sinclair was to
be married soon. There had been no cor
respondence kept up between them, be-
cause he had thought it best not to write
till he had home and fortune to offer
his wife. He naturally concluded that the
girl, who was so young when he left, had
become tired of waiting for one who seemed
never to come, or had forgotten him. He
went on herding his cattle and trying to
forget the girl.
Meanwhile Margaret's folks moved to
Green street, near Thirteenth, and their
circumstances began to improve. The two
girls became prettier as the years went by.
and had had no lack of admirers. Maggie
had abiding faith in her old love, and stead
lily refused all offers. Her sister Kitty
went through the ward schools, the female
high school, and, after five years court
ship, was won by respectable and indus
trious young man named William Malone.
This was about seven weeks ago, and the
couple Immediately started on a wedding
trip. They went through the principal
Southern cities, and at last they thought
they would visit Texas. After going
through a large portion of the State
they came to Brownstown. As they were
walking through the streets on the way to
the hotel they were stopped by a big, broad
shouldered, sun-burnt fellow, who ex.
tended his hand to Mrs. Malone and ex.
