A KISS OUT OF PLACE.

An Engaged Bride Deserts Her Hubby, but
Afterwards Repents.
A little incident occurred on the Mis-
souri, Pacific train recently which should
prove a terrible warning to newly mar
ried men not to fall too deeply in love with
THEN brides or permit themselves to be-
come too demonstrative in their display of
affection. 1t was but kiss, and yet it
rent harshy asunder the hearts of two
young and loving persons.
Both We're from California, J. c.
Carney. the young bridegroom, is the son
of the owner Of an extensive orange grove
| and fruit plantation near the city of San
Diego. and the bride, Miss Susan '.
| Mayberry that was, Is the daughter of
| Capt. Robert Mayberry. wealthy neigh
! Dor of the Carneys.
Carney had loved and courted his wife
for three years, and now that she was at
last us. his JOY knew no bounds. They
travelled from Kansas City to st. Louis dur
| ing the day, arriving here recently on the
| Missouri Pacific fast mail, saws the st.
| Louis Post, Dispatch As the happy
young groom gazed into the liquid ewes
of his adored one his admiration knew no
limit, and forgetting himself, he clasped
her affectionately in his arms and planted
a loving kiss on her cherry lips. The
Pullman sleeping car, In which the young
couple were riding, was filed with pas
sengers, and somehow they all seemed to
enjoy the kiss fully as much as Carney
himself, and that is saying a great deal.
A litter went up all around and the Grim
son blood rushed to the brides cheeks.
She was the one person in the car who
did not seem to enjoy the kiss. 1t was an
urpardonable piece of presumption and ex-
tremely impolite for Carney to have at
tempted to kiss young lady to whom he
had only been married three days, and she
soon made him realize the fact To have
kissed her in so short a time would have
been bad enough if they were alone,
but to have done so in the presence of
| other people was certainly most unheard
of piece of Familiarity on Carney's part.
The young bride sprang up from her seat
beside the groom In the drawing room of
the car which they were occupying, and
declared In the hearing of all present that
she would leave hlm forever the instant
the train reached st. Louis. The bride
groom told her she could not have her
trunks, three in number, as he held the
checks. In most defiant manner the
furious young bride informed her rude
and forward darling that she was fully
capable of taking care of herself. The
young couple thereupon exchanged some
very harsh and angry words. When the
train pulled into Union depot the bride
took a cab for uptown.
Wishing to get her trunks, and not
thinking of the publicity that would come,
she asked to be directed to Justice of the
peace's office. She was taken to that James
McCatfery. At her request Constable
benjamin Brady made out repevin papers.
She stamped her foot frequently to i'm
press upon the counseling constable that
she meant business. But Mr.. Brady had a
scheme, He disired to get the young
couple together and then witness a re-
Cancellation. The papers were made out
and the constable, accompanied by the in
jured bride, started for the depot to take
possession of her worldly goods During
the ride the bride of only few days
broke down and began to cry. The con-
stable told her that her husband had not
meant anything, but overcome by his love
for her, hence the kiss. This consoled
her to some degree, and she began to in
qulre If it were not possible to recall the
replevln.
"Certainly" said Mr.. Brady, That
was just what he wanted.
Getting ON the south side Of the depot
Mr. Brady heard the lady exclaim, There
he Isl" and suddenly leave his side and
hurriedly hasten to that of a gloomy,
blue looking gentleman, who was trying
to push hole in the planxs with a small
cane.
john "Susie!" The people around
in the immediate vicinity heard these ex-
EXAMINATIONS and locking around they saw
a young woman sobbing with her face on
the shoulder of a fine looking young man.
The man looked puzzled, bat happy,
while the young lady was unconscious of
all surroundings. She did not care who
saw her now. All unpleasantness was
forgotten. The couple had made up, but
they did not kiss. Carney looked as if
he would like to, but he had one terrible
experience and that was enough. Con-
stable Brady took the document from his
pocket and deliberately tore it to pieces.
When the bride sought him to say that
his services were not needed he had dis
appeared.
