Mail Order Myth - Brides of Beckham, #44

Dissatisfied with her life in Beckham, Massachusetts, Tabitha Murphy decides to head west as a mail-order bride, though she is certain it's a bad idea. She expects to arrive in Wyoming only to find out whoever had written to her had meant it as a joke, or that the man she was set to marry had died. She's not at all surprised when she reaches her destination to find no one waiting for her. After waiting for a good, long while, she stops the next stranger passing by, and asks him where to find the man she was sent there to marry, only to see him laughing at her.
Bert Blander is highly amused to find out this woman from the east has come all the way across the country to marry a man who is a few bricks shy of a load. He's not at all certain the man can even read. Instead of leaving her there on the street, he takes her home with him, until she can find herself a husband. Somehow, they find themselves tying the knot the following day. But who sent the letters for Jacob Small? And will that person expect their money for her train fare back?
