The groom, being so, and his advance

part of his sense of hearing, nature
was aided in performing it's duties by
an ear trumpet, thru which his bride
conversed, as it were, over short dis

he was strong of voice and his replies
were pitched in high key, with the
result that much of their conversation
went floating thru the car to other
ears, and when stops of the train les

the loving twain's billing punctuated
the whilr most unexpectedly.
When the groom went south the
frost of winter was in his hair, and his

The groom was very communicative,
and apparently as happy as child
with bright new toy. AS the con-
ductor, who brought the train north

shouted, so the whole train could hear
his words: Don't you remember me?
