The Adventures of Jimmy Brown

by W. L. Alden

SHE GAVE AN AWFUL SHRIEK AND FAINTED AWAY.

The next afternoon father came into the house looking very stern, and carrying one of the wedding bills in his hand. He handed it to Sue and said, "Susan, what does this mean? These bills are pasted all over the village, and there are crowds of people reading them." Sue read the bill, and then she gave an awful shriek, and fainted away, and I hurried down to the post-office to see if the mail had come in. This is what was on the wedding bills, and I am sure it was spelled all right:

Miss Susan Brown announces that she will marry

Mr. James Travers

at the Church next Thursday at half past seven, sharp.

All the Friends of the Family

With the exception of

the McFadden tribe and old Mr. Wilkinson
