BRIDE DIDN'T SHOW Up.
The lawyer interviewed the woman and
believed he had everything arranged for
the marriage ceremony, and a day was
fixed. Tie young man was brought up
from the Jail. a minister of the Gospel
was on hand, and everything was in
readiness. But after a wait of several
hours the prospective bride failed to ap-
pear. Everybody concerned got nervous.
and as the hour of o'clock approached
the minister expressed his intention OF
going home. the groom looked detected
and the lawyer saw his chance of con-
summating the reconciliation passing
away.
a young newspaper man was on hand
to get the story. He volunteered to go
after the bride. So a carriage was Or
dered. and in great state he went up to
the humble little residence in Peniten-
tiary Bottom.
The carriage stopped in front of the
door The young woman herself an

not dressed for the street, and she de-
clared most positively that she would

CHANGED HER MIND.
Tho reporter went in and sat down.
lie saw his story dwindling into thin air.
and he determined to enter into a debate
with the young woman on the question.
For one solid hour he argued with her
on the beauties of welded life. He
showed her the vision of a happy fire
side with the family gathered around
with nothing to mar the bliss that goes
with it, and he told her how anxious the
young man was to make amends. and
how he was frettinS away his life with
out her. All this, and more, the reporter
said, and finally the young woman agreed
TO go down in the carriage, if only for q
drive, and see The man and tell him
what she thought of him.
The ncighbors were still swinging on
their gates and leaning out their win
dows when the woman, arr2yed In her
finest raiment, walked down the steps,
leaning on the arm of the reporter, and
entered the carriage.
AND THEY WERE Welded.
All was in readiness at the City Hall
and those in readiness dropped a sigh of
relief as the party entered, and Officer
Amos then saw his case disappear in the
vortex of the uneSplainable situation.
1t took but a few moments for the
little party to see that the two had for
gotten the awful past. and in less than
ten minutes after the woman reached the
Ciy Hall she was married. and a puz-
zled expression of uncertain happiness
shone from her pretty eyes.
She went back to her home and he to
his cell, and when the case went before
the grand jury there were no witnesses
and the charge was ignored.

Officer Amos got there first. He rushed
into the house and found a tall young
