they never received their certificate. But
they didn't see the need of one just then.
for they assumed that the marriage had
been registered.
Last year they became so uncertain of
the full legality of their relationship that
they went back to Lewistown. after an
absence of thirty-one years. and looked
over the records. To their amazement
they found no trace of ii. and the only
way to get legal proof was to be married
again.

ing lived so happily thirty-sx years" said
Mr.. Siers last night. but in case one of
us should die there would be insurance
matters that might not be arranged salts

that she would feel better if she had

coming to her. you know" he added
with a twinkle in his eye.
The prospective bride and bridegroom
went to the Rev. O. b. Thompson. pastor
OF the Park Avenue Methodist Church.
What happened when DR.. Thompson saw

thing is certain. the minister sufficiently
recovered to perform the ceremony. for
