A Bride Describing the Greatest Surprise
of Her Life.
81 think / never was so agreeably
astOnished as on our wedding trip, You
had often told me of the loneliness of the
city that was to be my new home and |
had expected to see nothing worthy of
notice until we reached Milwaukee. But
after leaving Buffalo on the Michigan
Central road, we passed forests resplen-
dent in the glOries OF autumn foliage,
through which were seen constant
glimpses Of of the river, uHtil it seemed
as though we was travelling in fairy
land. And you. you bad boy, never told
me word of what was in store. After
leaving the station at Niagara, we rode
slowly along the river bank, looking
down into the chasm so many huadred
feet below, catching glimpses of the
wonderful fall we were leaving behind;
then, crossing the river on the new
bridge, from which we had view of
both the American and the Canadian
falls in the distance from one side, and
the terrible rapids and whirlpool from
the other side of our car. | shall never
forget that seething, erOwding, darting
mass Of green, creamy water, rs it rush
ed and tumbled down through its rocky
confnesl
"And the ride up the other bank! It
was a perfect October afternoon, with
the beautiful haze of Indian summer
sOftening everything, from the gorgeous
foliage to the brilliant sunshine; you
were by my side, whispering words that
proved how your great love would ever
go on Increasing and intensifying; it
seemed as if nothing could be conceived
that would add to my happiness, or to
the ideal perfection of the surroundings,
when 10! the train stopped, and there
before us was the grandest scene mortal
eyes ever beheld.
"Was it not a view in paradise? 1t
might have been,
"The noble river was rushing down
toward us from miles abOve-as far as
the eye could see. At our feet it paused
shuddered and then plunged two han-
dred feet with one HnbrOken leap into
the abyss below. Beyond were beauti-
full islands and another great fall. while
little streams were forming bridal wells
all along the opposite bank. Because
nothing had been said to prepare mo for
this exquisite lovsliness, 1 was never so
| surprised in NY
But Sne was even more aSt0nlSned NJ
the sound which had so suddenly made
her speechless. His great two-stOry and
basement love, Of which she had felt 80
sure, had betrayed itself with tremen-
dOus snore. Before IT could be encored
he was aroused by a Kissing in his ear
which sounded like:
"You reprobate you have not heard a
word l said"
my dear, have. listened with the
greatest interest until"
Until whatp'
"Well, until became convinced that
you were subsidized or hired by the
Michigan Central Railroad, and then 1
did not caret hear you 60 on and praise
the best dining cars in the world; the
most marvellous bridge In the country;
the best connections going east or west
the fastest time by over three hours; and
all that sort of thing, you knew"
The above ard many equally fond re-
marks, failed to paclfy her. A week
has since elapsed, and he is still uA-
forgiven, it is quite probable that the
greatest establishment Of his life is now
in progress. -Mil,Uaukee Sentinel.
