soon drew them more sweetly and
lovingly toward each other, and it
was not long until there was we'd
ding, Not much longer after the
above event had taken place be-
fore there came a letter from
Polly's Uncle Josh out in Colorado,
who had received news of the mar
riage of his favorite Polly. He
wrote effusively of his delight and
pleasure at their exhibition of
what he called grit" in joining
hands for "better or worse" through
life, and proposed that if the young
couple would locate in Colorado,
the scenic state of America, he
would assist to start them up in
business as a wedding gift. This
offer, of course, they accepted at
once and were soon bidding the
many friends of their childhood
days happy adieu.

by rail at Florence, and was met
by Uncle Josh with open arms and
a glad hand-shake. He soon was
