they were put to sleep in a branch of the
spruce tree.
Natalie was baking biscuits in the oven
down by the brook, and Molly was busy
cleaning the reception room over by the
swing. There was to be a tea at L. and
many guests were expected. They worked
with will.
Molly brought up the biscuits (Which
mother had really given them), and they
set out the cookies and the jelly. The table
looked quite festive.
Now We must get ready to come" said
Molly.
So they put on their hats and prepared
TO take the part of guests-having COM
pleted the part of housekeepers. They
walked away down by the brook and de-
layed a respectable time for expectation

Yes. / am sure we are" said Natalie,
''for my carriage was delayed by an acct

And then. at the very minutes they saw
how much too late they were. for Fido was
seen standing in the very middle of the
banquet table; the Jelly was overturned. the
biscuits scattered and the cookies eaten.
What scampering there was They forgot
that they were Mrs. Bronson and Mrs. Van

Natalie looked at the dolls staring with

have guessed that they minded al all,

Both were dressed exactly alike, in khaki

Judge Murphy of the district court per-
formed the ceremony, after which, fol-
lowed by a curious crowd. the couple went
to a hotel for dinner. Their dining was
so disturbed. however. by the banter to
which they were subjected that they left
in disgust before the meal was completed.
The bridegroom was discharged from
the Floriston mills some time ago because
he divulged inside information as to how
the Truckee river was being fouled by re-
fuse from the paper mills, a problem in

It Is certain that the two families werc

they withdrew from Plymouth and built
their homes in Duxbury, some nine miles
distant The Sandishes and tho Aldens
were the first settlers OF Duxbury, and
their graves lie there today.
The Alden house is still standing. as Is
also Alexander standish's house. which he
built for Sarah Alden in 1856 Miles Stand

The date OF the marriage of Sarah Alden

since Miles Standlsh died in 1856. II is
doubtful " he lived TO see the wedding of
his son and the daughter OF Priscilla.
