Outside they were joined by the police and the gathering crowd, and after a few mirutes chase the fleeing prisoner, who had taken refuge under a house, was caught and brought back. He was badly bruised by the jump he bad taken and winded by the race and think ing that the crowd was about to Ivnch him, be begged piteour ■ mercy. He was removed to jail the jury looked up fer the night nnd the finishing of the trial was postponed until tomorrow after noon, A FLORIDA WEDDING The deputy clerk in the mar riage bureau at Jacksonville was very, very busy, Without looking up from his work he khew there was a colored couple looking •round timidly near the door and occasionally peering at the desk where he sat writing.

They grinned at each other and grinned at the clerk. Then he man falteaed; “Ye as, sir.” “Got a license?” “Ya-as, sir.” “Got any money?’. “Yk-as, sir.” “How much?” “Two dollars.” “Band it here.” He slowly, almost painfully ctuuted out $2 in chicken money, The clerk grabbed it. “Join right hands,’’ he said Then faster than a thunder i j'i >wer can patter on a tin mos he > I jat led off ths following: ' “By vitchsf thortisf State of Flondin me vsetedinow deelaio you man and wife.Gitowder beret” 1 and th«y went, still grinning.
