The carriage which was supposed to
take DIR. and Mrs. Silver TO the station
stood iu front OF the house with General
Dawson on the box. This man has the
reputation of saving new married cou-
pies from the cleverest and cruelest
schemes OF friends loaded to the teeth
with rice and ribbons and signs. The
groom recognized the real ssgacity and
experience OF the man who has driven
-fifths Of the young married people
Of Lincoln to the church, to the house
and thence 10 the station. So he gave
carte blanche to him in eluding friends
Before the party started Mr.. Dawson
was surrounded by the unfortunate

those pc e,ple.'
"All right" Dawson said, "if you

Then the girls whose father trotters
were standing near came up. One Of them
asked General Dawson il he expected to
beat pair of blooded tro.ters with such
team Of old white nags as his. But
the General did not reply.

which has lost the scent, ran hither and
thither in silly and baffled confusion.
As soon as the last hoof beat was out OF
hearing the General guided his horses
through the dark places till he was
within block OF the Lincoln hotel.
Then in a moment they were in the al
ley and DIR. and Mrs. Silver had gone up
stairs by a private stairway to their
rooms, where presently the Triumphant
General, after smuggling the tell tale
white wedding horses back to the barn
conveyed to them their travelling bags

started on their travels unheralded and
without decorat IONS.

there they will 60 to Montreal via st.
Lawrence river. On May 30 they will

ocean trip by DIR. Silver's sister and
brother in law.
Considering the very short time DR..
Silver has been in charge of Holy Trim
