Had thunderbel fallen before him Har-
old could not have been more astonished
than he was Of this recital. The very idea of
Reece Ellington marrying a farmers
daughter. Reece, who had scofed st and
made fun of country people, had himself Sc
lectsd q wife from among them. Oh, il was
too much, and dropping into the nearest

peals of laughter. AT first Clara supposed

imagined better than described. But although
he wss greatly disappointed at first, on ac-
count of Hsrold's teasing, he soon recovered

Two weeks after there was grand double
wedding In the church near by, and no hap

lington and his bonny bride, notwithstand-
ing the fact that il was his and not Harold's
bride who made the pumpkin butter that
was used at the wedding, and forgetting his
aversion to a country father-in.law he per-
suaded Farmer Stanley TO sell his land and
reside with them in the city, and often
laughed at the way he got his country bride.
