afhuent aunt ON whose fortune they
had been counting interposed with
the threat Of disinheritance In case
this particular union should take
place. Accordingly the wedding was
postponed till the obstacle should
have been removed. 1t was not long
before the aunt died. but when her
will was opened 1t was found that she
had bequeathed her possessions to her
nephew only on condition that he did
not marry the girl Of his choice for
at least another 80 years. With a com.
bination Of fidelity and prudence
which Is deserving Of wonder, II not
OF admiration. the couple calmly set
themselves to wait out this term. It
has at last expired. and they have be-
come man and wife. though It should
be added that the marriage ceremony
