The ladies' enjoyed their auto ride

scarce at Hurdsfield and while the
editor was busily engaged in telling
mis- newly made friend Of the conven-
fences of home life at Hurdsfeld, the
boys kidnapped the couple and lifted
them bodily into an auto. They were
showered with rice as they were au-
toed about the city. AS both ex
pressed an earnest desire to have the
knot tied then and there, Judge But
Ter was hunted up, the Judge went IN
to executive session at tn court house,
and soon the regulation marriage H.
cense was prepared. The editor in

him, and says he was willing If she
was. But-before the words were

sible consequences and demurred.
