The story

Shy naive Charley Bicker, the only blacksmith within 100 miles (161 km), begins corresponding with a potential mail-order bride, named Ellen, and sends her all his savings for a train ticket to the town of Calico. He kept his marriage plans secret from everyone except the storekeeper who sent off for a wedding ring, but the storekeeper told everyone else, so a crowd shows up at the train station when Charley goes there to meet his bride. The lady isn't on the train and Charley is humiliated, so pretends it was all a joke.
