asked him, as le drew near.

about it," he answered. Young
Bingham and Susie Peters, n'tit?'
"Yes; I was next door during the
ceremony, and il was the quietest
thing in the way of a wedding I ever

style that reckoned she would want
to make considerable OF aspreadwhe
Susie was married" {"
"Who married them?"
| "Parson Liildreth, and be was the
OILY person there outside the family.
I don't believe their nearest neighbors

sailor hats. She looked real sweet,

to wait until after the paper was out
before going home; ''the women folks
would Ike to read the news they
thought.
"Now, girls, wake up said the edi-
tor as he blew into the Office, "and set
this copy as fast as you can; we have
only ten minutes to spare, and: It

two of violently scribbling, and type
began to rattle into the sticks with
basinesslike rapidity.
IN due time the article was set. up,
the proof taken, read and corrected,
and O'Clock in the afternoon The
Clipper with a great news ''scoop"-
was awaiting its eager readers IN the
boxes of the postofice.
Mr.. Peters was among the first to
get the paper, but without stopping to
look at its contents he wended his way

his favorite name for The Clipper:
"where are the twins?"
IT put them to bed" said Mrs.
Peters, unfolding the paper, 'that
they might realize how naughty they
were this afternoon, but oh! what is
