western town, were starting on their
wedding journey. They had managed
to reach the train in safety despite the
showers OF rice and old shoes.
Just as they had taken their seats in
the car one of the brldegroom's chums
came hastily in to bid him goodby. AS
the young husband extended his hand
the friend snapped handcufr round
his wrist.
The groom had been suspecting a
trick Of some kind, and before the
practical joker could play similar
trick On the bride he found the other
handcuff snapped round his own wrist.
He was chained to the happy bride
