re BRIDAL Party ana the woulA.bs
Kisaer from bawtoeth.


tOmaha Bee.l
The evening train on the Union Pa
cific drew out from one OF the little
desert stations of Wyoming, a few
days ago, leaving behind il q group OF
merry youngsters who had come to see
off a newly wed young man and woman.
The departure of the train was signal
lied by three rousing cheers by the
forsaken young men and maidens, and
in certain manner strongly empha-
sized by the startling reports of several
pistol shots. The bridal party in the
car were interested witnesses of this
grand demonstration in their behalf,
and, lovingly locked in each others
arms, leaned from the same window,
smiled and waved their respective head
gear in adieu, and then ensued such q
scene of embraces and kisses, and
whispers and hugs, as is witnessed only
on well-appointed bridal tour. In
deed, everlasting love, confidence and
fealty must have been proposed and as
scented to thousand times. OF course,
it was a picnic for the other passengers,
of whom many had been there before.
Some of them had not, and to them,
especially OF the rough border class, it
was something the enjoyment of which
was almost supernsl. Several of
the more demonstrative Of the lat
ter reached for their neighboring
companion and began honey
moon Of their own, initiating to the let
ter the traditional performance which
was being given by the heroine and the
hero. Il would be difficult to describe
the scene in the car when this emula-
ton became almost general. The smacks,
the "ohsl" the ''ahs!" the laughs, the
outlaws, became almost legion.
Meanwhile the loving pair seemed al
most unmindful Of the merry scene of
which they were the occasion. SIN GO
ing TO take hand in, and you can take
the plumber If l don't" remarked o
brswny six-foot passenger, who had
been an attentive observer Of the
couple. The next instant the
speaker had strobe over his
companions knees to the aisle.
He strobe like giant, and pair Of star
spurs rendered ominously musical every
step o. he advanced toward the bridal
pair. He soon reached them, and stand.
ing before them with his hat in his hand,
said: Say, pardner, where l come
from, right up yer in Sawtooth, we're
alters chinned by the happy man ter
kiss the gal for good luck, and yer
goes" He stopped to kiss the girl,
but her young man interposed; but the
latter was rudely drawn aside as il but
o child in the giants grasp. The kiss
seemed to be Forthcoming. The hus.
band was held ct bay by the osculator's
left hand and the girl was being dragged
toward him by his right. Everybody
was interested in witnessing the scene.
1t was thought shooting might ensue.
The bride, however, was not greatly
moved. A deep blush sufFused her oval
features, and q merry twinkle lurked
about her eyes. She looked at the
Drawn and muscle which wanted to en-
close her, and the shaggy lips which
wanted to press hers, so innocent and
pretty. The face of the young man,
on the contrary, was colorless. A deep,
ashen, CHASTITY hue pervaded them,
while o tremor Of intense anger and
modification shook his frame. He saw
he was powerless, indeed the jaunty
and almost suspicious air Of the
girl was beginning to make him
feel doubly so, and that feeling
was being followed by the more
poignant one, that, deserted by her
life was not really worth living. He
looked ct her, and as her eyes met his,
she saw his anguish. In trembling,
supplicating tones he said, "Ah.
Kitty Those tones mastered the sit.
uation. just - the grizzly cowboy
brought his lips in close proximity to
the girls, the young woman drew back,
wrenched herself from his grasp, and
with her open right hand dealt him q
slap on the cheek. She followed him,
caught him by the beard and hair, and
pulled them until he fairly yelled with
pain. The young man dragged her
away, while the would-be kisser from
Sawtootb skunk back 10 his seat among
the deafeninQ yells of the passengers.
