MARRIED ON THE TRAMP.
An Idle Lady and Gentleman Form Life

An Idle Lady and Gentleman Form q Life
Partnership.
Forty-two cents was the declared cap
ital of a couple of tramps who loved
each other after three hours acquaint-
ance, and who were married at Castle
ton, N. Y, recently.
The Rev. Mr.. Thomas was waiting
for wedding party to assemble when
a seedy looking man and an equally i'll
clad woman appeared at his home and
asked for the dominic. F" They told
Mr.. Thomas they wanted to marry.
They were tramping, they said, when
they met each other and loved at first
sight. The only obstacle to their con-
tinuing their tramp as a honeymoon
journey was, they added, the price of a
wedding.
The good natured clergyman waived
his fee and spoke the words that made
them one. The couple described them
selves as Frank Williams of Utica, N.
Y, brushmaker, and Anna Nancy Jane
Carley of Sharon, Litchfield county,
Conn. The bride confessed she was one
year older than her husband, who said
he was '36.
Husband and wife thanked the clergy
man and, after obtaining bouquet of
brides roses from the parsonage
grounds, started westward, tramps to-
gether with but az cents as their entire

"The word of lady is enough. be-

And she told me all. Born in India,
the daughter of celebrated snake
charmer whose beauty had subdued a
Scotch nobleman tarrying in Bombay,
the temperament of the mother and the
strange power of the mother lived on in
the daughters veins. The father had
died insolvent, having run through the
fortunes of a vast estate. The daughter,
for her own support, had realized, with
horrible start one day when there was
no money and no food, that the snake
unwinding like ribbon of green grass
among the opal flowers, wound again,
and waited poised, rejecting the tails

Then came the two years of wandering,
weird life as the beautiful snake charm
er. Holding herself aloof from humani-
ty, in the proud isolation of spirit in
herited from the Scotch father, the
snake had become her companion, had
saved her from the teeth of wild beasts
in many jungle day. "Why shouldn't

applauded as though no storm black

Suddenly the wind began to howl
| and violent squall came down upon
| the scene. Most of the people fed to
the house and barn, for great drops o!

Those near 1t saw a box thrown up
in the upheaval. Conrad ran to the
hole in spite of the drenching rain. 1t
was the box of gold from the bank
vault.
Mr.. Banker, who had retired from
the rostrum to the piazza Of the house,
saw the Flagstaff go down and the box
thrown up from the bowels OF the
earth like a demon from the Internal
regions to confront him. He tainted
dead away and was borne to his cham
Der. The rain was soon over. and a
great crowd gathered around the rag
ged hole. Among them was General
Cambridge.
THAT Is the box stolen from the
vault of the bank" exclaimed the pres
ident. THE teller was the robber, and
not the cashier."
THAT is why Mr.. Banker had to set
the flagstaff himself" said Ben Barron,
as Phil and Phoebe ran into the house
as thoroughly overwhelmed as Conrad
and Olga had been.
The girls Rugged and kissed Olga
and the boys grasped the hands OF
Conrad, and their congratulations were
as hearty as they were sincere. The
generals carriage was taken to the
hole. Two strong men placed the box
in 1t, and it was driven to the bank,
where it was deposited in the vault
The general was just man if he was
naughty and severe, and his carriage
proceeded at once to the county Jail
Mr.. Binnfield was promptly released,
the general declaring that his inno-
cence had been made apparent to a
multitude of people by the direct inter-
position OF Providence. The generals
carriage conveyed the cashier to his
home, and a scene such as need not be
described followed. The flag had been
raised. and so had the box of treasure.

night at the leading hotel in a small
town left very particular instructions
before retiring to be called in time
for an early train.

YOU" replied the bellboy.
The guest was up in an instant,
opened the DIOR and received from the
boy large envelope. He tore it open
hastily, and inside found slip of pa

letters: why don't you get up?" He
got up.-Golden Days.

another delightful aboriginal summer
day In February, at least in the morn

day. The scholars of the nigh school
dined at home and were on the lawn
in readiness to take the barges that
were to convey them to "Fairyland,'
as Mr.. Banker had presumptuously
named his place, at two O'Clock in the
afternoon. The lake was very pretty
with a small forest on the farther side
of it. but there was little else to re-

Lucy. II should think Mr.. Banker

work"
"A man was engaged to do it yester-
day afternoon, but he did not come as
he had promised" added Phil. But
here are the barges. The fare is half a
dollar out and back"
The scholars formed a merry party.
and the girls began to sing as soon as
they were seated and kept it up till
they arrived at "Fairyland." They
were more inclined to row In the two
boats on the lake than to do anything
else BY three o'clock-the hour ap-
pointed for the cxercises-there was

at the time and was received with the
most distinguished consideration by
