Trying Moment is.

BridcgrOOmS, as a rule, bear the
embarrassments of the wedding cerc-
mony with anything but grace. The
chances for making mistakes are few,
but they cOntrive to improve them.
At recent fashionable wedding the
groom calmly announced: Il, Annie,
take thee, Harold, to be my lawful
welded wife" The bridal party, who
were the only ones that heard it,
were convulsed, and even the stall
wart young minister could not repress
a twinkle in his eyes. Another much
ratified young man, when asked If he
took the young woman to be his
welded wife, stared nonplused at
the minister for fully ten seconds,
then asked blankly: BEG pardon,
Were you speaking to me?" Still an
other, when handed the ring, instead
of passing it along, began nervously
trying to put it on his own finger,
and was only aroused by a sharp little
pinch. But most of the small con-
tretemps incident to a wedding can
be successfully hidden from the
knowledge of the guests, and it is not
until the bridegroom is let loose at
the wedding reception that the bride
really begins to get tidgety for fear
he will do something dreadful" a
fear which is very often realized.

a Wcil-Yrained Husband.

Here's something rather novel and
amusing in the ay.of a business ar
rangement, said the man on the cor
ner to the other man. Our firm has
a travelling man whose wife is what
is commonly termed a terror. She
regulates her husband in every par
ticular, draws his salary and doles it
out to him, comes in and raises
SanchO with the house if he is out
too long, and makes herself generally
obnoxious. All the men in the Office
are afraid of her, and you would
laugh to see them all scatter off and
get very busy when she appears.
Well, sir, this year the firm wanted
to cut that drummer's salary down,
and how do you think they did it?
They knew his wife would make
things lively if she knew his salary
was decreased, SO they fixed it up be-
tween them that his pay was to be
reduced, but that his wife should
draw the Old amount, and that as the
drummer has Il little bank account
he would make matters square with
the firm at the end of the year.
How's that for terrorizing ability

That necessity is the mother of in
vention was brought home to the
writer during the recent construction
of the cable road in Broadway. One
of the workmen had occasion to wash
his hands, and, as there was no water
around except some in a bucket for
drinking purposes, the man found
himself in Quandary. After mo-
ment's thought he filled the dipper,
and, putting the end OF the handle in
his mouth. nodded his head up and
down until the water fell in little
stream upon his hands, which he con-
tinued rubbing together until they
were clean. OF course it was only
a tritiing circumstance, but still how
many men would have thought of
such a way out of the difficulty I'M
less they had previously seen it done.

CHAPTER xI-COntinued.

Ralph Prescott needed no further in
formation on which to base rapid, pro-
grcS5iVe action.
His eyes cleaned as if the happiness
Of q lifetime had come in one flashing
second of space.
His face showed satisfaction, supreme
confidence, victory.
He started straight back to Ridgeton
that very hour, only on the way he halted
at little town.
It was the one the miller had referred
to as the place where he had traced his
runaway daughter and her thieving hus-
band.
Ralph Prescott visited the clergyman
of the village He was cloSetcd with
him for an hour or more.
When he resumed his journey, his evil
face was more victorious than ever.
Plot and counterpart kept his thoughts
busy until he reached RidgGtOn.
He did not proceed at once TO the for
mer home Of the recluse, Godfrey For
sythc.
A nights rest and reflection were
necessary to act clearly and make no
mistakes.
At dark the next evening he knocked
boldly at the door OF the house that
now sheltered the disguised Ruth Elliott.
She opened it timidly. Her glasses,
false hair and widows cap we'll con-
cealed all traces of the youthful face be-
hind them.
Il wished to see you on matter of
business, Mrs. EastOn," said Prescott
plainly.
The woman did not ask him in. Slightly
nervous, she said:
I do not see what business you can
have with me. Sir?"
1t is in reference to Mr.. Forsythe's
will
You had better see his lawyer, then. )"
"No, I must see you. Please admit
me- 1t is matter of intense personal
Importance to yourself alone"
Reluctantly, the disguised Ruth adj
mitted her unwelcome visitor.
She was more disturbed at the prox-
unity Of a man she dreaded than at any
thought OF his penetrating her disguise.
The lamp in the room was shaded so
as to cast her face in shadow. She had
successfully adopted tone that little
resombeti her natural voice.
BE seated, she said, calmly.
"Thank you. Now then, Mrs. Easton, "
pursued Prescott, briskly, Il have come
