Pitcher apologetically, "I didn't think, ye know, it 'ud look very well to have crape about on my darter's weddin'-day. It wouldn't seem lucky. Or else I'm sure I wouldn't ha' had no objections at all far from it, Abel." "But I'd ha' had objections," cried Sam, who had stood by swelling with wrath. "I do think my feelin's ought to be considered so much as yon chap's, be he alive or dead.

"We'd be together, maybe, come our weddin'-day. The fourth o' July. We never been parted oncet, on that day, all the fifteen years we been married," she mused, "but " "Well?" "But, come winter, an' Mis' Sherman opens the house again, an' wants Miss Claire back, who's goin' to look out for her?" "Why a as to that " said Mr. Ronald, so vaguely it sounded almost supercilious to Claire.

"Lay there, you damned prodigal!" he roared, terrible in his rage. "You disgrace me an' you disgrace the girl who's been a daughter to me!... if you ever have another weddin'-day it'll not be me who sets it!" November was well advanced before there came indications that winter was near at hand.

An' the way that weddin'-day turned out with Old Bill layin' Jack cold, an' with no marriage at all why, Collie had a shock. An' after that she seemed pale an' tired all the time an' she didn't eat right. Well, when Buster Jack got over that awful punch he'd got from the old man he made up to Collie harder than ever.

"Wal, lass, hyar you are," he said, with a gladness deep in his voice. "Now, whar's the boy?" "Dad I've not seen Jack since breakfast," replied Columbine, tremulously. "Sort of a laggard in love on his weddin'-day," rejoined the rancher. His gladness and forgetfulness were as big as his heart. "Wade, have you seen Jack?" "No I haven't," replied the hunter, with slow, long-drawn utterance.

Wal, one spring-night, I mind it well, we wuz walkin' deown the lane together, an' the wind wuz blowin', the laylocks wuz in bloom, an' all overhead the lane wuz rustlin' 'ith the great purple plumes in the moonlight, an' the air wuz sweeter 'ith their breath than any air I've ever taken sence, an' ez we wuz walkin', 'Miah wuz askin' me fur ter fix eour weddin'-day.

Close to one plate a bunch of stocks and gilly flowers reposed on the dirty tablecloth, as though dropped and forgotten by the God of Love. Their faint perfume stole through the other odours. The old butler fixed his eyes on it. 'The poor woman bought that, he thought, 'hopin' for to remind him of old days. "She had them flowers on her weddin'-day, I shouldn't wonder!"

"The more the merrier," replied Columbine. "Wal, I reckon I'll not ask anybody." "Why not, dad?" "No one can gamble on thet son of mine, even on his weddin'-day," replied Belllounds, gloomily. "Dad, What'd Jack do to-day?" "I'm not sayin' he did anythin'," answered the rancher. "Dad, you can gamble on me." "Wal, I should smile," he said, putting his big arm around her.

I been settin' here, pretty near boo-hoo-in' for the last half-hour, over the weddin' presents Sonny has thess been a-givin' me. Last week it was a daughter, little Mary Elizabeth an' now it's his book. They was to 've come together. The book was printed and was to 've been received here on Sonny's weddin'-day, but it didn't git in on time.
