What was the occasion of this sud­ den change of program? , The trpth was (and the parties of the first parijiearned It) that the parties of the second pert, having heard that both couples were to lag given a hot time on the wedding night by osanpo the iutaad^ a^eirtiijeis' lay, but have an opportunity to Join in what was in store for the Syphax- Southwortlx pair. The latter couple Itad no choice but to he married on time or recall the Invitations. They decided to come to the'Scratcb, but to pat in practice a plan for outwitting tbe others. Miss Soutliworth’s wedding took place in her father's home, situated at the end of a long block of Btone front houses on one of the principal dwelling streets of the city. The ceremony was to take place at 10 o’clo-’k, and the bride and groom gave ont that they Would take an 11 o'clock train for parts which they declined to mention to any one whatever. An automobile was to 'be In waiting to take them to tbe Station with a chauffeur they could ttust lmpllclty, for be was a brother of the groom. An enthusiastic number of friends attended the wedding,, including Hr, Hughes and Hiss Hlckox. The cere­ mony had been performed, the bride’s health had been drunk in the sapper room, rfhd the couple went upstairs to get on wraps preparatory to their de­ parture. A dozen automobiles stood ready without, armed with tin horns. The lower hallway was crowded with guests, holding old slippers and rice, waiting for the couple to come down and pass out. Considerable time elapsed, and some one became sus­ picious. A committee went upstairs and after a prolonged search came back with the Information that tho bridal pair were not to be found, The merry crowd were not to bo cheated entirely of the sport they had anticipated. Bob Soutbworth, a broth­ er of tho bride, suggested that a couple personate the one that had escaped nnd asked tho Hughcs-Hlckok couple , if they would make the ride to tho station in the automobile intended for the bride and groom. They willingly accepted the part and, accompanied by Boh Soutbworth, who had made the j suggestion, and his sister Lucia, came; down the staircase, received the show -1 er of slippers and rice, Went out atidj got into tlie automobile. Then the! mock bridal party rolled away, fol-j J it - flin nfltr.J P-QtO*, tl>0 OttOlld- ants tooting- the horns and firingroman candles. Now, it appeared from the first that the bridal auto was stronger and fast­ er than any of the others and pos­ sessed a chauffeur who was bent on leaving them behind. He threaded his way skillfully through tho streets, not to a railroad station, but to the out­ skirts of tho city, and from the ottt-j Skirts oh a country road. The mock bridal couplg, enjoyed the ride Im­ mensely, hut soon noticed that the fuu was over, for not one of tho following Autos was la sight. Thbn they began f to think of returning, but the proposi- j tion was received with a burst o f| laughter, , I "You’to in the hands of the enemy," j said Bob Soutliwortli. "Lucia and I have you in chaxge, our brother Ned is chauffeur, and wc’fe going to make this a double wedding after all." "Wlmt do you mean?” cried Della» Hlckox, aghast. I "Why, we're making for the Buck-1 Ingham Hqur-e. There’s no way of, getting ftway from it after 11 p. ni. *nd no train to get hack to town on if you could leave tUe hotel. We’re go lag to leftve you there together, and you can stay or not, as you like, We’l! give you a parson to hitch you—he's provided for and waiting—and if you don't use him there’ll he the biggest scandal our pet has known ia years." "And you were In Jeugue with Don­ ald and May?" "They concocted the scheme. They escaped through the scuttle iu the roof and came down and out through an­ other hoUBo in the block.” •They were going like a hurricane and in an hour pulled up at their destination. Meanwhile the pair had consulted; Invented' plans of escape only to throw them aside and at iftsl came to the conclusion that slut e they must be laughed at It would be better to be laughed at- without a scandal. When they reached the goal they found a parson waiting and all ready for a wadding. Those in the auto were pre­ paring to return without them when they ooBsetefced *nfi; were married, in- vhtng the®?

When "Bully” Egan fought Curran with pistols the bulky Egan complained that his oppo­ nent .was at thin as a blade of grass. "Let my else be chalked out upon your body,” said Curran, “and any hits out* side of the line shall not count," It was not good form, however, to make a parade of magnanimity, and tho coxcombical practice of firing in the air or “dumb shooting” or "chil­ dren’s play" wss strictly prohibited by tho yules, of which thirty-six were drawn up by representatives of the five most eminent counties—Oslway, Tip­ perary, Mayo, Sligo and Roscommon— In 1777.

At the last mo­ ment the manager gave the linos to a shepherdess, who had never had lines to speak before and who was excess­ ively nervous when her cue came.
