The Bride（新娘）Comes To Yellow Sky

       But as the distance from Yellow Sky grew shorter, the husband grew more restless. As a matter of fact, Jack Potter was beginning to get very nervous. He, the sheriff（警察）of Yellow Sky, a man known, liked, and feared, a well-respected person, had gone to San Antonio to meet a girl he believed he loved, and there, after the usual prayers, had actually married her, without telling anyone in Yellow Sky. Because he knew everyone in the community would be surprised and shocked, he was not looking forward to bringing his bride back home.

       Of course, people in Yellow Sky were free to marry, and the town often celebrated their marriages, but Potter, a bachelor（单身汉）of long standing, thought of his duty to his friends. He had promised them he would remain a bachelor forever, but face to face with this woman in San Antonio, he had gone head over heels（uncontrollably in love）. Because no one knew him in San Antonio, he had found it easy to get married. But now they were approaching Yellow Sky.

       He knew full well that his marriage was an important thing in his town. The men in town would not forgive him. Frequently he had thought of telling them by telegraph, but even though as sheriff he had often faced the guns of outlaws（歹徒）without fear, he was afraid to do it. And now the train was hurrying him toward his friends, who would laugh at him, curse him, and never drink with him again.

       Knowing that soon the train would leave them standing by the tracks in Yellow Sky, he planned the trip from the station to his house. They would get to his home as fast as possible, so no one would see them. Then, once home, he would quietly go out alone, tell someone—anyone—the awful news, and retreat to his house to hide until the citizens got tired of talking about him and his new bride.

4．What kind of man should a sheriff be in the eyes of the town folks?

      A．A brave bachelor                                  B．A thoughtful father

       C．A loving husband.           D．A nervous fellow
