has read the service over hundreds of trem-

the bridegroom at the most solemn part

began to wind it. let him go on for a few
seconds and then | realized that it was a
Waterbury, and might last all the rest of
the ceremony, So stopped short and look

in friendly sort Of way, but he didn't
comprehend at all what was the matter
and all this time the steady click-click of
the winder was to be heard.

dignity was not overwhelming enough to
make that man stop short, but he didn't.

hands, they simply clasped hands as they
stood side by side, and swung them back
