united the couple when the bridegroom fell
forward and lay apparently dead ut the feet Of
tho bride.
Tho hall was filed with guesrs and the
screams OF the women almost caused panic.
The bride fell swooning into the arms Of the
bridesmaid. She quickly regained conscious
ness. while the bridegroom was carried into
an adjoining room. She could not be kept
from him. and her grief was heartrending.

ness. but it was long time before he was able
to arise and comfort the bride. Then the fes-
tivities were begun again, but the merriment
was only half hearted. Luhinsky is a hearty
and strong young man. but he had tasted all

event. caused him to faint,
At midnight the bride and bridegroom had
entirely recovered from the incident. and they
started for their future home in Worcester.
1t is now asserted that the excitement which
led to the fainting was caused by the refusal
of the bridegroom to pay a fee to a woman
who said she had introduced him to the bride.
Believing she would not get her money. the
aged matchmaker demanded q. settlement

him.
