Cindy's presence that the visiting
evangelist was young man. Later,
he mentioned that people said the
visitor was as fine a specimen of
unmarried manhood as had hit
these parts in years. He also
reported that everyone said it
looked as though the preacher were
looking for a good helpmeet.
Cindy jerked upright in bed.
"1've been calledr she cried.
Nonsense, Cindy, you're going
to live a long time yet," her
mother assured her.
Live, yes" said Cindy, leaping
out of bed and pulling a new
ruff1ed skirt from the closet. But
I've been called to meet the Lord.
l need a bath"
AT SERVICE time she was in the
first pew. Her fervent CALCULATIONS
of "Amen, brother, praise the
Lord" caused a minor sensation.
When it came to the testimonials,
Cindy tore off her picture hat and
cut loose. There was little mention
of the Lord, but her praise for the
sermon was elaborate.
Afterwards, she had talk with
the evangelist, who, judging from
tintypes, was an early edition of
Gregory Peck. The following night
he accompanied Cindy and her
mother home. Two nights later he
extended his preaching engage
ment, and a week after announced
an engagement of another kind.
Since grandfather was getting
married himself the last week in
August, a double wedding was
arranged. All went we'll until the
two couples arrived at the license
bureau.
IHEN the clerk happened to notice
Cindy's and grandfather's birth
dates. Guess there's some mix-up
here" he said genially. Birthdays
almost alike; September 20 and
October 10, 1856"
Grandfather and Cindy ex-
changed glances. But Cindy rose
to the occasion. YES" she said,
smiling demurely. "the doctors
said it was one of the strangest
cases on record"
The clerk accepted this astonish-
ing explanation. But whether by
mutual agreement or disagreement,
there are no birth dates on grand
fathers and Cindy's markers in
Rock Lily Cemetery.
