The Temps, which is not always Sc

your fathers demise?

"there is my father, alive and welI.'
"But, retorted the other, "your moth

as a widow" The bridegroom explained
delicately that his mtoher haG run away
from his father, and preferred to give
herself out for widow. "But," he said,
desperately, "my father is certainly
alive"
''ne has no right to be. Officially he
is dead l cannot marry you without a
certificate of his demise. y Hard enough
one thinks But the other case is still
harder. 1t happened in Cayenne, where
two convicts, employed as servants by
the governor, got leave to marry. They
went to the mairie and the lady was

"Really," said the bride, 81 thought it
was not needed.
"Why, it is an indispensable docu-

him to the record of her conviction.
"You will perceive, sir, that was SEN
fenced for life for having poisoned my
husband"
That would seem to be sufficient, in all
conscience. Yet, as a matter of fact,
their married happiness had to be post
pcned till the acte de deces could arrive
from Paris.

after the close Of the war the parents Of

take charge of the Ray House. The older

Seymour. A next son was Edward, who was
run over by the cars one evening at the
depot while soliciting business for his
father, his death resulting from the in
