" fail TO tell the tale Of their marriage.
How her parents used force to keep
him from getting her away from home;
how two policemen were ordered up,
To quiet the trouble: how her lover
jumped upon the drivers seat and left
the driver standing on the ground; how
be drove past the police station as such
Il gait as to attract the attention OF
the chief OF police, who followed, and
who notified the deputy sheriff to be
on the lookout for something, and how,
even while her tatner persisted until
he got into the carriage and rode To
the preacher with them, they still suc-
ceeded in being married. Such is the
story Mrs. Halter, until 10 o'clock this
morning Miss Edith Raymond, will be
able to tell. Perhaps no marriage in
