They were married just after six that evening. The Justice of the peace who performed the ceremony was at supper, visible from the parlor, He rose heavily from the table, came in and looked at them over his spectacles,
"Want to get married, do you?" he asked, and Jonesey blushed beautifully.
He looked at the license which Bing had had e, devil of a time getting and which Jonesey won- dered about. He had wanted to know her birthplace and things like that, things she couldn't tell. She was even being married as Ellen Jones, and she was not sure that was legal.
The Justice oi the peace raised his eyes from the license, looked at Bing. "Got the rings?" he ask- ed.
Bing looked dashed. But the jus- tice of the peace just grinned and called. “Couple of young folks want tc get married. Bring the rings)‘
Ma also brought the hired man in overalls. as a witnell,
And so they were married by a J. of P. with egg on his vest. Jonesey saw that as she lowered her eyes. then forgot it.
"For better or worse. in sickness and health.” Jonese, responded, thrilling through and through. To herself she added a little prayer, "Please God, make it better for him.” , '
It was over. They were man and wife. She glanced shyly at Bing. He kissed her swiftly, tenderly,
“Ahem," said the J. of P. “The usual charge is about what the groom thinks it’: worth." He wink- ed at; Jonesey, who blushed fur- iously. "The rings of course are extra. We Just carry them for an accommodation and I'll have to charge you ten dollarg a piece for them.”
Bing handed him a bill» “Expect me to change that?" he asked. And when Bing grinned and shook his held he said. “Well air, that's whit I call pretty." He turned to his wl-ie. "Got the rice ready, Ma?"
Ma laid she had. The-l. uf I. turned in Jonesey. "You and your husband better run for your lives -wa always give all the fixings no matter what they pay."
They ran. pelted with rice, to the little i082 runabout Bing had hired after they mu left the rall- rond etation. Rice still descended upon them as he started the en- gine. waved to the little group standing in the August sunshine.
Then he looked at Jonerey, held
his breath. Her eyes raised to hi: shyly. He kissed her swiftly and then: "I"cen drive fine with one hand." he told her. -~~It~waa dark when they reached their destination. He had driven milel and miles. 'I'hey had stopped to buy gas and Bing, reaching into his pocket to pay for it, had cast a startled-glance at hia bride.

all I had with me," he confessed. "Have you any money?"
Jonesey gave him he: hand bag. I-Ie opened it. “Why, I've married an heiress." he said solemnly. "I had no idea—"
"It's mostly one-dollar bills-end only about fifty dollars in all “and it's all I have in the world" she told him.
"I think I'll borrow half your fortune, you can keep the rest for mad money," he teased.
Then they drove on more miles. to pause finally in a little village before a country store.
"You stay here, don't vanish." he said. “I'm going to buy our wedding supper and breakfast- with the bride's money."
They left the state road present- ly for a. country road, left that, for what was-practically no road at ell. They seemed to be running through a green vault lllumlned by the car's aearchlights. Then abrupt.- ly they entered a clearing where a log cabin stood revealed. Bing stopped the car, turned to her.
"It belongs to a friend of mine. He uses it in the fell for hunting," he explained. "I lrnow‘where he keeps the key. Stay here while I open up and light up."
She watched him swing toward the‘ cabin, saw him look for the key. I-Ie disappeared indoors and then there were light; in the wln- down. He returned. held out his hand.
"Camel". he said.
Jonesey obeyed. feeling an if it were a dream. The strangeness ot it had come over her. A few hours before she had been in the rail- road station. She had believed- almost believed, anyway - she would never see Bing again.
Now she was walking beside him. She was his wife. They came to the threshold and he swept; her into his arms without a word, car- ried her across.
"Juat. an old custom." he ex- plained huskily as he set her on her feet. again, held her close to kiss her. He added. his arm still around her, “Will it do?"
Jonesey’: eyes took it irn. lie re- minded her of the cabin of the Ellen J, crude yet. lovable. She lov- ed it and her eyes told him so without thevneed of words.
“It's all in one room, you see," he went on. pointing out the de- ieets but eager to have her not mind.
"I'll get your things -the gro- ceriea."
When he returned. his hands and arms full. she was standing where he had left her. She lookeciup at him, her eyea bemused. beglamor- ed. “It-it doesn't seem real. I fcel as if I'd wake up."
"It's the realest thing that over happened,” he said softly. “It's got to be. I know 1 swm you off your feet‘, I—"
He was holding her very tight.
Iverythlng seemed to dissolve o- round her a| she closed her eyes. returned his kisses. She could feel his heart beating faster, faster. Her own kept pace with it.
Abruptly she freed herself.
"I'm tarnished," she said, her eyes notmeetlng his. “And you muat. be. Hadn't we better build a lire in the stove?"
She was at the stove now, lift- ing the covers and examining it. He followed ‘her. kissed the buck of her neck quickly,
