oh Don!" she said pleadingly.
I'VE can't be married on the 18TH!
Any other day dear!"
The young fellow looked up from
the letter in hand. But we must.
Glee. - said he. 'Pater writes he
mast leave for the West directly we re
married. and Is or no - (and it's all
nonsense anyway. pet the cards must
go out to- morrow You're not super
stitlous. are you dearP Como now"
We'll don't blame me il we re
forever unlucky" she warned him.
The immense manufactures OF
Cameron " Son were world famous.
and it was imperativcly necessary
that Donald should be at the mills on
his fathers departure. Mr.. Gamer
on. sr. could not possibly defer his
Western trip longer than two weeks
and so with a bit OF haste and con-
fusion the cards were got en- out and
on june l3 Glee would become Mrs.
Donald Cameron.
The young couple were to stay at
the old Cameron place in New YORK
till Marmaduke Cameron should re-
turn, his Western affairs all settled.
Then they were to take long de.
lightful trip through Europe.
Finally amid a shower of rice and
old shoes laughter and kisses the
young couple drove away to the sta.
.tion.
They positively could not get seats
together For time Donald sat on
the arm OF his wiie's chair. but a
surly old person in the next seat OBJ
jected strongly to the scarcity of
room this accustomed. And the train
was an hour late
Hot, dusty aud tired. Donald looked
eagerly about the station for the
familiar carriage and dark blue Cam
eron liveries In vain! In u hired
cab he must take his young wife out
10 his fathers home.
A little later. in the dainty blue
and gold room made ready for Glee
a maid was on her knees before tho
great gray trunk struggling with the
lock
'-l'm sure that's the key, said
Glee decidedly. Try it again.
Chrissie. A"
The girl bent to her task with re-
newed vigor surely it was tho most
unmanageable lock ever created!

efforts and flew open disclosing
Merciful Heavens.-a promiscuous

Goodness cried Glee THAT
not my trunk. and Donald didn't have
one!"
"Whdterer shall I dop Ring for
Mr.. Cameron. ChrissieI'
OF course the mistake was rectified
and in due time Glees trunk came.
Among her wedding gifts had been
a superb diamond pendant from her
husband. The stones were magnifi-
cent very pure. very large and very
valuable more than all else they had
been heirlooms in the family for gen.
erations and were. to the Camerons
well-nigh priceless.
They had been reset for Glee by a
famous jeweler in Paris One even
ing there had been a grand dinner
party given for Glee and Donald at
Elmsdae the country residence OF
friends mile or two over
She had worn her daintiest gown OF
gold. colored crepe and about her
meek on a tiny chain the diamond
pendant Imagine her horror on
returning home to find pendant chain
and all gone game! Hoping it might
be found she said nothing TO her hus-
band for n day or two. The grounds
and house at Elmsdae were thorough
ly. but frIitlessly searched. One
evening Glee waited for the dogcart
that would bring Donald from the
station then meeting him on the
steps she told him all. He was as
she had expected. intensely shocked
and grieved.
Why they were my mothers
diamonds Gleer' he said slowly Il
wouldn't have taken half million
dollars for them! What WIt the
governor say? But there " soothing
ly as she leaned her head on his
shoulder and burst into tears ''Therel
Don't go on like that Wen find It,
OF course" with an assurance he
scarcely felt You're getting lonely
here by yourself I'll send for Doro-
thy to come out and stay with US for
bit!' Glee dried her tears and
nodded her head in approval the
days tOere long without Donald--and
little later her sister arrived Doro-
thy was a pretty dark eyed lass
merry as cricket and hard to keep
in bounds as a dancing sunbeam.
You're looking pale DOM" she
said the night OF her arrival as they
sat at dinner. Has Giee proved fair
but false?"
Donald pushed back his plate
