fided to his master that he wanted
to get married and asked If he would
get him a license.
"Oh, yes, Julius; I will see to that."
But when be went to the court house
to get the license, he did not know
the name of Julius' Intended bride.
Ho thought, howover, that he had no
ticed the man paying attention to a
certain girl and had the license made
out In her name, Martha.
v on-all didn't forgot that 'license,
did you?" asked Julius, anxiously, as
soon ns his employer returned,
"No, Julius; but you didn't tell mo
.the girl's name. Wus It Martha?"
"No, snh; It wasn't Martha, It was
Eliza."
"Well, that's too bad. You w.H
have to wait- until I go to town again
and I will get another license."
"How much dnt license cost?" In
quired Julius.
"Well, I don' reckon tho's fifty cents
worth o dlfforcnco 'tween dem. Just
