The widow, who was among widowi as

and took Jones's arm, and
"Just look bow handsome it is nut on

Putting her plump gloved hatid on Lis

"O dear!" she said, with her rosy lips,
and sank back, half fainting on the sofa.
" O biaxes !" cried Jones, and be sank
beside her, rustling the fatal parchment in

It was a bard case. Instead of being di
vorced, aDd at liberty to marry the widow,
Jacob Jones was simply, by tbe Legisla-'

turnpike company, and what made it worse,
autboriied to run from Barliogton to Bris

have borne it , but tbe very idea of build

bars an absurdity on the very fao of it."
So it did.
