some of the young people said that th

and for aIl•they knew about *it was•tne
hearsay; that they bad a doubt as to th
validity of an. agreement which had, bee
mad so, long ago, withput having' bee
renewed; that there wait a possibility o
marriage, like vaccination; runtling Q4
and to make all things secure, and re
move any doubt as to the genuineness o
the contract, they insisted that the mar

being one of the company, performed th
ceremony,, the only difference being M

Instantly they grabbed him, and one went
through his' 'Wickets, but found nothing
