of most of those present had concluded thai
the reason why Clarence Cook did not marry
Ncttie Castor, was that his brother Ashton,
of whom they had never before heard, was
about to perform that very pleasant duty,
and inside of three months brilliant we'd
ding satisfied them that this was the true
answer.
Clarence's own wedding with Anne
Thompson, which followed so shortly after,
also convinced Bayneville that another rea-
son why he did not marry Nettie was be-
cause he had no desire to do SO, and at the
same time showed the gossips that Miss
Thompson was not SO great fool as they
had thought her for accepting his attentions.
The only question that was left to vex
Bayneville about these young people was,
what had kept Ashton and Nettie apart for
so long time. This mystery it will solve
when it reads this story.
Mr.. and Mrs. Ashton Cooke live in Phila-
delphia and Mr.. and Mrs. Clarence Cooke
live in Baynevile while old Mr.. Bayne holds
his residence in Baynevillc but alternates
between the two homes. He is much mel
lowed in disposition but takes some pleasure
yet in grumbling. All the young Cookies of
both families appear to share equally his
regard and all call him uncle. Chapman is

heart and clearing conscience, and all are
