the bayou and the funeral postponed to a more con-

Then came the heavy rains and much sickness during
the winter through all the country of the Barraclaw
but when spring came the minister received second
summons from the Widow Steele.
A S the train drew in, Jim went up the platform
IA to meet the minister
Why James, how are you: All we'll trust.
How is Sister Steele?"
She's middn tol'able,' said Jim. and led the
way to the buggy. Just the minister laid hold

with dropped jaw then look of intelligence flashed
into his freckled countenance. Parson, this heah

Jim nodded. Vas sir. It's this way. Sis lowed
as how Bill Steele done been dead so long now,
'twant no use ter have no fune1; but She waitn

The wedding took place at the home of the Widow
Tarbutton. There abundance of venison and
wild turkey young roast pig, barbecued kid, squirrel
stew, and rabbit pie, and more PIE OF all varieties

enormous onions, hanked by towers of jelly cake,
adorned the board. There some difficulty at
tending the service, owing to the accommodations
of the Tarbutton cabin being somewhat limited, and
the guests were forced to eat IN detachmentS, but
all merry marriage feast should go, and the
hard cider bottled the fall before flowed like the
best of wine, and with corresponding effect.
On long bench against the wall sat the united
families of Steele and Deere the widows three olive
branches and LENS six towheads,-nine pairs of
little yellow legs swinging in row, nine pairs of
longing eyes fixed the good things rapidly disap
pearing. Nancy sat in the window with Jack
Graham, arrayed in new red calico. as pleased and
almost gorgeous the bride herself whose best
black dress, bought the occasion of Bill Steees
death, turned into festive garment by the
addition of blazing red satin sash.
Nancy watched Lem and the widow, where they
sat in the place of honor at the head of the table.
