The train by some mishap, carried them beyond the point at which their friends were to meet them but they finally got back to the buggies and hauled up at the place ot the ball about 10 ociock that night still bouyant over the prospects of good old time country dance, such as our grand-fa thers and mothers used to enjoy and grow fat. But imagine their surprise and discom fort when a preacher popped in to stay ail night about the same time that thev did. Being a brother to the pater faiui lias he put a quietus on the ball and the, assembled dancers had to content them selves for the remainder of the evening with the tamest kind of social amuse ments. The iiost was very kind and tried to compensate in other ways, for the dis appoint of his EllavLUe gutst, but their woes reached a climax whtg they rush ed down to the railroad next morning, some of them in such haste as to miss their breakfast, just in time to see the rear end of the passenger coach pass around the curve Finally they gathered some small grains of consolation by foraging on a neighboring cane patch until the freight came along and brought them home, locking as solemn as owls.
