he wouldn't have her with any other
hair than that which she now wore.
OF course this comforted Mamie, but
she couldnt forget the white horse-or
,be white mule either When she was
alone she sat at her little ebony desk in
the southeast corner OF her boudoir, and
LET the occurrences Of the day float in up
on her dreaming senses for a while, and
then, in a paroxysm OF petuiancy and an
ger she allowed few tears to ebullish
and course down the freckled currents Of
her cheek.
She wiped her eyes. walked up and
down the room once and then took
seat in the lambent moonlight al a front
window. Again the incidents of the day
crowded in upon her. An interminable
procession of white horses and snowy
mules lodged in and out among the
thousand thoughts that blossomed IN her
brain. The pcndulcss swing Of some gi-
ant voice seemed to keep up an incessant

within her hearing. Then field of red
hair lit the horizon Of her vision; then
came q dashing cavalcade of white horses
hundreds OF prancpg mules, and between
and upon and around and beneath them
were tossing red heads and the painful
vibration of that yoluminous voice that
never changed its monotone and only
said. Here she comes y and There she
goes" After this came vacancy and a
delicious sense Of complete rest.
Mamie Navarro slept.
The morning bloomed and brought her
new cares and thoughts. She had her
cards of invitation to send out and her
irousseau TO put in shape, with hun
dred other things that kept her fingers
aud brains busy until that eventful day
Of the wedding. Reimund had called
around each night and offered s'igges-
tions as he thought proper and within
the lines of his duty. Nothing occurred
to call halt in the arrangements and on
the evening of September % the happy
couple stood hand in hand on the door
sill. as full of the rich content of rapt
hearts as any two human beings ever
were since the world began.
There were four bridesmaids and
groomsmen and the church was in gala
dress for the nuptials. 1t is not necessary
to describe Nannies toilet, which was up
to the latest demands of fashion. Nor is
il worth the time or space to devote a
paragraph 10 Redmund 10 say how hand
some and manly he was as he led his
beautiful bride TO the altar. Friends who
crowded the church were heard to say
that Mamie was lovely and the gentle
men andibly remarked that Redmund
didn't seem to be biz frightened.
The clergyman tied the knot in the Or
ihodox style. Redmund placed the band
of gold on Nannie's finger and the priest
gave them both his blessing. Then the
organ sent forth its sonorous notes in a
iorful mach and the sound of wedding
l,e stole through the music. The bri
dal party turned TO go. Mamie took her
Redmund's arm nov her old Reslmund
forever-and they started down the aisle.
suddenly there was violent clang, as
if somebody had rudely jangled the we'd
ding bells. Then there was an awful
voice;
Here she comes il said at one mo-
ment, and There ie goes. at the next.
The fair bride trcmbled.
Here she comes,
There she goes
The terrible words chilled her heart
She turned to clutch Redmund's hand,
but no hand Was there. She held
horses hoof. BY her side, in Redmund's
stead, was white horse. He stood on
his hind legs. With the swiftness of
fright she looked around All about her
were white horses standing on their hind
legs and huge led heads floating in the
air.
Summoning all the strength she had
and crowling il into her two lungs she
emitted frightful Shrek and sank into
swoon.
Here, here, Mamie. what's all this
hollering about ?"
1t was Nannie's father who stood by
her side in the lambent moonligh. at the
front window and gave her shaking
that was violent enough TO arouse the
dead.
Get up and go 10 bed the parent
continued what do you want to sit mp
at that window and keep people awake
all night long with your Nightmares?
But. papa, where is the white horse?'
the dear girl asked, opening her eyes and
trying to understand the situation.
What white horse ?"Mr. Navarro ask
ed, and then slapping his thigh with
chuckle as he remembered himself he
said: "Oh, yes, ! see :" and. leaning over
through toward the open window, he ex-
claimed; @There it is, too; DR.. Sands
old white plug standing in front of the
Aguehone's door"
Mamie looked out in the moonlight
and saw the white horse and shuddered.
1t was the tinkling of the ncighbor's
door bell that had sounded in the climax
of her horrible dream
The reader will, am sure be glad 10
learn that Nannie's dream did not inter-
fere with the real wedding, which came
of ON the 23d. And she didn't marry a
white horse, either, but became the hap
py red-beaded bride of Mr. Redmunl
