charge of breach OF promise of matriGga

Owens, decided few days ago that hs
was ready and willing to marry. He
was brought up to the court OF quarter ess
sions, Philadelphia, and the bride elect
was taere TO meet him They were both
or the shady Of side 80. The court room was
crowded. The groem was willing that
the wedding should take place right
thsre, but the bride blushed aud begged
for little more privacy.
"Coine with mo-" said Father Heritage
the prison agent "I'll bring you to a
plaos that will make your marriage his
toric, place to which the holiest senti-
meEts of the nation cling. A"
We'll, 80 on thep," interrupted the
phlegmatic groom, "and don't bs talking
all day" ...-
The party was then taken to Inde
psndsnce Hall "Hers we sre," cried
Father Heritage. ''Here's place to
make your eyes blink. Independence
Hall think of it.''
"You don't want Us to bs married in
this public place, do you ~ inquired the
groom. II don't give a -, that is, it
makes no difference, hut she mightent
like it," "We'll go up stairs to The frat
landing" said Father Heritage. "We'll
be out of the way there" The party
tripped up, and were married by the
Rev. Mr.. Frambis, q regularly ordained
minister ho sells coats at Waramsker's 3.
Father Heritage had brought pen
aud bottle OF ink with him, aud the
certificate was signed at once. "Now,
look herel" he said, pointing up at big
black object hanging by chain, "Do
you see that thing 1t il the old cracked
liberty bell 1t rang out freedom to all
our peop.e more than 100 years ago. 1t
locks down Oh you to-day as you are
freed from prison. Remember -
"I'll not forget it," hastily put in the
new hubbard, as he thrust something
iuto Father Herita2s's hald aud hurried
over to his bride. "There 1t is now, give
it to the minister"
"I didn't mean that"
"Don't mention it; good bye"
SIR. Frambes, $lU for you," said
Father Heritage. A moment atterward
an omiuous sound came up from below.
Father Heritage, with startled look in
uis eyes, leaned over the balustrade and
saw the bride in the act, apparently, OF
frseina herself from the arms OF the man
who had Just been made her husband.
"Hello, there" cried Father Heritage,
"whst has he bsen doing to you ?"
"Akissing me, SIR" she said.
