'T-o git mnarrie'd.'
'A nd you havii't money ?'
'N:t above twenty-five cents.'
'iIa(n't yoit better be worth
your fare to Toledo before taking
a wife on your liands to support?'
'You don't understand the case,
protested the man. 'I'm going to
anu-ry a widow worth at least $5,
000, and the first thing I shall do
will be to remit you the price of a
icket. ]'im poor and the widow
knows it, but she marries me for
love.'
