well and no one saw them blush. At

make their getaway and did well, as
they went through the depot and up
town to the Ballingall hotel, where
they met jolly good bunch of
Knights of the Road, who made bust
ness lively until the couple took sud
den leave without even saying GOOD
night"
Back to the depot they went, where
no one knows they are just married,
and oh, they were sitting so nice and
cosy, side by each, when it began to
rain rice from every direction; down
her neck 1t poured; down his neck, in
his vest and oxfords the rice went.
After the storm had passed the good
knights of the Road wished them
much joy, prosperity, happiness, etc,
and sent them on their road rejoicing,
she wearing her hat with the white
band around it, and wearing a pleas
ant smile. He still had on the same
blue suit, wore his glasses and look
ed pale.-A Travelling Man.
