BANDON RECORDER.
Mon« of HI« UusloeoB.
While waiting for the train the bride

down the platform.
"I don't know what this joking and
guying may have been to you,” he
remarked, "but It's death to me. I
never experienced such au ordeaL"
“It's perfectly dreadful,” she an
swered. “I shall be so glad when we
get away from everybody we know.”
“They’re actually Impertinent,” he
went on. "Why. the very natives”—
At this unpropltlous moment the
wheezy old station master wulked up
to them.
"Be you goln to take this train?” be
asked.
“It’s none of your business!" retorted
tbe bridegroom Indignantly as he guid

Nearer, nearer it came at full speed.
Then in a moment It whizzed past and
was gone.
“Why lu thunder didn’t that train
stop?” yelled the bridegroom.
"Cos you sed 'twarn't none of my
bizness. I lias to signal if that train's
to stop.”
And as the old station master softly
stroked his beard there was a wicked
