He had it in mind not to accept a fee from these lowly members of bis flock, but the bridegroom, with a beaming face, handed over the usual small envelope and departed with his Dinah before the preacher could pro test. When the pastor opened the envelope later he read this note: "Dear Pastor: I am sorry I cannot pay you a fee now for uniting me in wedlock, but I spent all I had on wed ding clothes. I will send you the money Just ?s soon as Dinah gets to work again." The preacher got a fee later from a very grateful Dinah, who seemed to think it proper that she should pay, and was overcome with surprise when the fee was given back to her ais a wedding present * ;v * * * . .
