as she slipped away in the gathering
crowd to help he bride.
The ceremony progressed well.
Every hing went smoothly until the
supper was about half over, when
Mrs. Garter said :

Then Glory Aun looked up quick

her hair seemed pale in comparison
as she said. with whitening emphasis:

tower if 1 mary him. If he is really
meanin' it | will if he amt, | won't.
An he was, an she did.
Philury paused and glanced in
quiringly at the bride.
An (Glory Ann shook her head
emphatlcalIy) an, Philury, Dorlesky

cast down or trod upon by any of

Wall, ye are, interposed Philetus.
Well, yo' set an daily till git
ready to go on any other tower,
said the bride, complacently, as she
passed her plate up, saying casu-
ally Please gimme some more o
them cakes, pa.
Hereupon Philetus grew very
angry. Rising, he said flercely:
Glory Ann, I'll take back that salt
cellar, an you don't come to Glen
ham.
An you, Philetus, kin take your
salt an yourself-both too fresh for
mean go to Glenham, or where
ye will, for I'll tower to the Holler
or I'll tower none.
And Glory Ann arose and passed
majestically upstairs to her room,
carrying a glass of cider and them
cakes with her.
After supper Mr., Carter said, turn
ing to his new son-in-law:
Seems to me, Phile, that if yeain't

ready for milkin' it's arter five.
| low to tower to Glenham yet,
said the groom, as he arose and
vanished up the steps in the direc-
ton the bride had disappeared,
Slowly the time passed. 1t was al
most dark when Phllury, who had
outstayed all the guests, in order to
help Mrs. Carter, returned home to
impatient Rhody Ann, who sat in
the kitchen waiting for her.
Well, she exclaimed, Philury,
where did they tower to, or amt
they lowered ?

up an exhorted her, an l quoted
from the Bible to her, an at last she
said she'd go, as obeyin' seemed to
be the heftiest part O. the marryln'.
Then we all went down to let her
put on her new brown alapackey.
Well, in about ten minutes she came
down, with the salt cellar in her
hand, leanin' on Phile's arm, a smilin'
like a basket O. chips, an he as
a GRIMM, too. Jest as she passed
out, very majestic like, her purple
feather streamin' out behind her,
she paused an said, It's Kings
Holler.
An it was, too, added Philury.
Well, l guess Glory Ann will set
