lost through the craft of that designing old
woman, passion on grand scale had ragged
so to speak, under their noses, and they had
not shifted it. Their attention had been drawn
away and they had been unable to make those
interesting and instructive studies in the pro-
cess of love-making to its grand climax in pro-
posal, which might have been theirs and been
to them CT incalculable interest and advantage,
but for that dreadful Sidebottom. Thus-if they
could no longer take observations in the con-
duct of lovers, they could examine. and store
up their observations on the conduct of newly
married people in the honeymoon. They clung
to their aunt, with their arms about her neck,
they lavished expressions of tenderness, they
protested that they could not and would not
be separated from her; and Janet foresaw that
a wedding tour encumbered with the Labarte
girls would be worse than none at ALL or one
with the Labarte girls plus Mrs Sidebottom,
and Salome and Philip to draw them OF from
her occasionally. As the party drove from the
Embassy, Mrs. Sidebottom said to Philip: by
the way, what do you think? Wonders will
never cease. Did you see the entries in the
marriage register previous to those made by
Lamb and Janet?'
Il did not look"
81 did; ; and while you were arranging about
fees made inquiries. There was marriage
at the Embassy this morning, before our affair.
An unheard-of thing in Berne to have two
English weddings the same day. SO the chap
lain said"
81 dare say"
"And guess who they were who entered the
holy bonds"
Il really cannot / know none likely"
but you do know, and are quite able to
guess"
Il have not the energy. then"
why, Colonel Yeo. that is to say. Earl
Schofield and our friend at Andermatt, Miss
Durham"
'.Nonsenser Philip was startled.
'It is fact. suppose he really is an Earl,
for he was entered in the register as Earl Scho-
field, and not as Colonel Beaple Yeo."
But" Philip stammered lit is not possible;
he cannot"
HE has. 1 saw the entries They were
married half an hour before We arrived"
II will inquire about it," said Philip, "as
soon as ever the carriage stops. 1 will 60 back
to the Embassy. Something must be done. He
had no right to marry"
"Why not?"
Philip did not answer. He was excited and
uneasy.
"You cannot go till after the breakfast, I"
said Mrs. Sidebottom. land / suppose it is too
late to forbid the banns. l presume he is
really an Earl. He says that the attainder is
man, and ike him. He looks q nobleman."
In the evening the entire party visited the
Schanzli, a garden or restaurant on a COM
manding hill above Berne, once occupied by a
fort from which 1t takes its name. From the
terrace Is seen the range of the Oberland
mountains and in the middle distance below,
is the town viewed in its full length with tow
ers and spires, and gabled roofs Of chocolate
brown tile. Visitors are attended on by wait
resses in the pretty costume of the canton.
The evening was lovely. meet conclusion to
so bright day. The setting sun illumined the
distant SHOWS of the giants of the Oberland and
quivered in the windows of the city below.
There are epoch-making scenes in life, scenes
to which the memory recurs with unalloyed
pleasure, scenes which have been revelations
