Then Glory Ann looked up quickly,

seemed pale in comparison as she said,
with whitening emphasis:

Philury paused with a smile, and
glanced inquiringly at the bride.
"An'" GLORY Ann shook her head EN-,

right. She didn't intend to be cast down
or trod upon by any of them bullies

"Wall, We are" interposed Philetus.
"Well, ye set and daily till git ready
to go on any other tower said the bride
complacently, as she passed her plate up,
saying, please gimme some more 0

Hereupon Philetus grew very angry
Rising, he said, fercely:
"Glory Ann, I'll take back that sail

And Glory Ann arose and passed ma
jestically up stairs, carrying a glass oi

the groom, as he arose and vanished up
the steps in the direction the bride had
disappeared.
Slowly the time passed. 1t was al.
most dark when Philury, who had out,
stayed all the guests, in order to help
Mrs. Carter, returned home to impatient
Rhody Ann, who sat in the kitchen wait

to be the heftiest part o the marryin'.
Then we all went down to let her put on
her new brown alapacky. Well, in
about ten minutes she came down, with
the salt cellar in her hand, leaning on
Phile's arm a-smilin' like basket o.

purple feather a-streamin out behind
her, she paused an said, It's Kings
