The principal sctors in the affair. Of
course, were Dudley and Aurelia.
They were in most extraordinary
condition Of good clothes. It is of no
use for me 70 try even q single dash at a
description Of their costumes-I know
shouldn't succeed. Af
To my mind, though, Susie Martyn
looked as interesting as anybody. I
suppose Harry Farley thought so, too,
only he was too lazy to say it. Har-
ry was to be groomsman, bnt he
came very nearly forgetting all about it;
80 susie had to hunt him up just at the
last moment. She found him lying on the
lounge in the sitting room, with his eyes
half shut and cigar between his teeth.
Being too lazy to smoke, however, the
cigar had gone ont.
Susie pulled him violently of the
lounge and boxed his ears, thereby
shaking the cigar ashes all over his
shirt front, until his consciousness re-
turned sufficiently to enable him to
stand mp with Dudley. 1 strongly sus-
pect the only reason why Harry had not
married Susie long ago (they had been
three years betrothed) was that he could
not nerve himself up to the task Of get
ting ready.
When all were ready the "hsppy

wearisome ceremony, the Rev. j. B. pro-

manner.
Aurelia was very happy, 90 she cried.

not cry. He had made an arrangement

one OF that sort, SO he felt more like
than crying.
Why shouldn't Aurelia be happy
now? She had found what she had SO
long waited for. Her '<own dear Dutl.
ley" had never looked with love on anv
woman save her-at least he told her SO.
What more could she desire?
Nothing, to be sure; and Mrs. Shaw
was in beatiied state sfor some time
say, two weeks. Maybe she would have
continued SO to-day had it not been for
one little act in the drama, the closing
ast Of our portion.
Mr. and Mrs. Shaw sat at breakfast
together. The eggs were done Just
rig ht; !; the toast was deliciously crisp
and brown the steak was Juicy as q
peach, and the coffee was hot and strong.
In short, every ti.ing was Just as it
should be. and contentment hovered
about the festive matutinal board.
