Drunken Mems Feet Frozen

William Roberts, white, and "Abe"
Foote, colored, two we'll known Norfolk
characters, were found practically help
less with their feet badly frozen at the
abandoned Deacon Graut place, so
called, on the road to Winsted Thursday
by James Allen. Roberts was able to
drag himself about little, but the color
ed man was lying on the floor helpless.
Mr.. Allen rolled them up in blankets
and brought them to the town farm.
Roberts, it is thought, will recover the
use Of his limbs, but it is feared that it
will be necessary to amputate Foote s
right foot. The men went toWinsted and
became intoxicated. They started to
walk home but upon reaching the Grant
place, they went into the barn and went
to sleep. They awoke in the morning
they found their feet frozen. Roberts,
who was able to get around, broke into
the house and built fire and then help
ed Foote in. Here they remained until
found by Mr.. Allen, whose attention
was attracted by smoke issuing from
the chimney.

Beginning of Espousals

THE first part of the matrimonial Office
L was anciently termed the espousal, which
took place sometime prior to the actual cele
bration of marriage These espousals con-
sisted in mutual promise of marriage which
made by the man and woman before the
bishop or presbyter and several witnesses.
After them the articles of agreement of mar
rage Called tdbnlR mdtrimontdles), which are
mentioned by Augustin, were signed by both
persons. After this, the man delivered to the
woman the ring and other gifts; an action
which was termed subarrhation. In the latter
ages the espousals have always been performed
at the same time as the Office of natrimony, in
all the churches abroad; and it has long been
customary for the ring to be delivered to the
woman after the contract has been made,
which has always been in the actual Office of
matrimony.
The ring is a special token of sponsdge. In
some of the old manuals for the use of foreign
cathedrals, before the minister proceeds to the
marriage, he is directed to ask the woman's
dowry, viz, the tokens of sponsdge; and by
these tokens of sponsage are to be understood
rings, money. or some other things to be
given to the woman by the man; which
giving is called wedding or covenanting, es-
pecially when it is done by the giving of ring

fore; yet what did her words signify except
that she did?
AS if in answer to his thoughts Chrysanthy
guided him toward side of the lawn and
when they were clear of the crowd she disen-
gagged herself from his arms and began to walk
toward corner of the garden. My studio is
over there she said. 81 have painting

glanced around her. There was no one near
them
At the door she funbled for sometime with
the lock, trying to open it with key that she
brought forth from under her sash.
:" Let me help you," Weir offered:
No" she answered firmly; this is a pecu-
liar lock. 1t has to be coaxed." She ratified
the key about in what to the American seemed
an aimess way. At length she turned the key
and the lock opened with no further trouble.
Inside there hung small Chinese lantern SO
that its dim light fell directly on a tall picture
frame in one corner of the room. Inside the
frame there was the image of Rhasneh, as he
had seen her, in her black feredje, yelled with
the gauzy white yashmak that only dimmed
the outline of a face that needed no softening
to its beauty

murmured. And it's wonderful" He turned

He took a step nearer the portrait,

For her? I don't know what 1 wouldn't

attracted to a beautiful girl in of the Sultans

Blake an American friend, drew him back, with an
exclamation at his dangerous imprudence.,
Two days prior to this Rhasneh, lovely young
Turkish woman, was told by her father, Takshan
Pasha, high Government Official, that she must
prepare to marry Haleb Bey, Turkish society
devotee Her mother had been American, and
she was brought up with disregard for Oriental
bigotry, so she had filled her mind with modern
romances She was in despair; for she had longed
for marriage with love, which she did not have
for Haleb Bey.
She dreamed that night of being saved from
death by handsome young foreigner; and in the
morning was astounded to see the same foreigner
rowing on the Bosporus beneath her window.
She Immediately fell wildly in love with him, and
that forenoon displayed her card. with its peculiar
wording to him when he watching the parade.
