was awiired the ulglit he took tea with

Suddenly the minister laughed aloud.
It was alt so funny to him uow. Mrs.

astonished at his mirth and looked It
Well, dearest, I kuow you'll think
me crazy, hut It Is really In good to

"You kuow," he coucluded, "I never

There was a peculiar smile hovering
around Mrs. Morris' lips, and for
minute or two she said nothing.

minister blankly, staring at his wife's
flushed, laiighlug face.

The news of the minister's marriage
spread like wildfire through the town.
He had sent a laconic message to one
of his church officers to the effect that
he had been married to Boston snd
would occupy bis pulpit the following
Hnnday. That was all Ms tried, after
all, snd none of his congregation knew
a word about It Who was she? No
body knew. Conjecture wss rife on
every point and one version after an
other ot the story of his wedding found
quick credent. Some of the older
members of his flock were thunder
struck. To think that Mr. Mortis should
trick theiu like tbat and be engaged all

hearts ou his marrying "Miss Nell,

They were accustomed to "Miss Nell'
and her ways. But a stranger to steal
tbelr beloved minister!
All week long the tongues wagged
Incessantly over the minister snd hi
bride, but st Saturday lutdulgut no one
had seen either of them. The church
wss parked Sunday morning. The bells
bad ceased ringing, and only a few late
comers saw the tillbert carriage drive
up to the dour and the minister and
lady alight from It.
Straight up tne middle aisle he led

the organ played softly and the silence

Neglected Cold Threaten Life,
From the Chicago Tribune: Don't trifle
aitb a cold, is good advice tor prudent
men and women. It may be vital in
the case of a child. Troper foo l, good
ventilation, and dry, waim clothing
are the proper safeguards sgainsl
colds. If they are maintained through
the changeable weather of autumn
winter aud spring, the chances ot
surprise from ordinary colds will be
slight, but the ordinary light cold
will become severe if ueglected, and a
well established ripe cold is to the
germs of diphtheria what honey is to
the bee. 1 he greatest menace to child
life at this season of the year is the
neglected cold." Whether it is a child
or adult, the cold slight or severe, the
very best treatment that can be adop
ted is to give Chamberlain's Couth
Kemedy. It is safe and sure. The
great popularity and immense sale of
ibis preparation has been attained by
its remarkable curea of tins ailment
