Ho said to tho brldo that ho wanted to speak to a man, but on tho quiet he said to ono of the boys: "Whon tho train starts I'll get Into tho car behind nnd she'll think I was loft. Then look out to seo hor go into fits. I'll -appear on tho scono In tlmo to prevent consequences." As tho train started -a drummer, who was told of tho bridegroom's plan, walked Into tho car and without a question sat down bcsldo tho brldo and soon was talking about tho weather, Buffalo and a dozen other things. Sho grew Interested. Tho husband waited a quarter of an hour and thon sneaked Into tho car. Ho saw his wlfo talking in a very ani mated way, and whon ho wont forward for-ward sho looked up and said: "That you, James? 1 thought you wore left. Sit down somewhere." And for two hours ho "sot," while tho drummer hold tho fort, and everybody every-body was tickled to death. |
