Az Ilinois wedding Journev.

The old folks had gone to bed and Sine
and Mandy were in the dim little parlor,
where burned a slow fire of sizzling hick-
DRY logs in the old-fashiOned fireplace,
says the Chicago Times. The winrry
blasts shook the old farm house, and
the windows ratified. and a pun of smoke
now and then came down the chimney
on a return trip and circled Familiarity
about the room, but Slime and Mandy
didn't mind it, They were sitting very
close together. Sine, with throbbng
heart and faltering tongue, had declared
himself, and Mandy had listened shyly
and with dOWncast eyes.
Shines arm stole in casual and appar-
emily accidental way along the back of
her chair.
And you'll have me, Mandy"
Yes, Sine"
It was softly spoken, but Simon heard
it. and there was a sound like that of a
quart of cold mush colliding violently
with the side of brick house.
Then the stalwart young man recovered
himself and rose to his feet.

bearing of a man accustomed TO acting
