He {s anxious to-day to find the party which aroused him out of bed to per- form the marriage and thetrdisappear- e4 when the would-be bride ran away. It was one morning this week that | Dr. Stinson was aroused by the furious ringing of his door bell, and when he put his head out of a window was asked to come downstairs to marry a couple. He found four persons in the bridal party. As they went into ghe chapel another couple passed by, and the brile- room tnvited them to join them and de witnesses. The fret two couples had deen drinking, as Dr, Stinson discovered later, but the newcomers were sober. The minister began to make out the Papers, and the bridegroom, who did most of the talking, sald that he worked at the Board of Health and would take the certificate there to be filed, a propo- sition which wan refused. Then the bridegroom gave the name of Richard Croker and appeared not to notice the surprise of the minister. He was not thirty years old.

Then, turning to the min- {ater, he said: “We havo just deen to a ttle cupper, and we agreed to top It off by coming hero to be married. And now sho Is silent!" There was a swish of skims, and the bride had suddenly stopped crying to catch up her fluffy skirts and fly from the church, leaving the astonished bride- room ‘staring after her. ‘Then he fo towed and the four witnesses after.
