ady named Miss Shadt. Ximmerly said ho
tvaa ready at a moment's notice , and , after a
oed deal of laughter , Alderman Roesler was
ailed in from an adjoining room to tie the
luptiilknot. Up to that time Martin had
tad never spoken of marriage to Miss Gaffga ,
nd when the good-natured justice appeared
nd announced that bo was ready to perform
tie coremoay then and there , few of those
resent regarded the affair as anything
nero than a joke ; but Martin assorted that
le was in earnest , and declared that if Miss
Jaffna would accept him bo was ready to be-
ome her husband. His companions heartily
pplaudod this sentiment , and the applause
was renewed when Miss Gaffga , blushing like
Juno rose , took her place by his side and
ndicated her willingness to become his bride.
That looks like business , " said the alderman ,
djusting his spectacles , The laughter of the
yectatora was hushed and the words were
poken that made Mr , Martin and Mies
Jaffga husband and wife. Miss GafTga , who
s a charming brunnette , was immediately
ongratuloted by her friends , the girls of the
tarty crowding around and kissing her , wbilo
lie men shook Martin warmly by the hand
tid aaid how glad they were that ho had won
uch a treasure. Then came Mr. Ximmerly's
nd Misa Schadt's turn , hut at the last mo-
cent the lady declined , and said che wanted
; o ba married by a clergyman. This was
omething of a disappointment , but the party
nited heartily in celebrating the impromptu
uptial of Mr. and Mrs. Martin , and kept up
