CHAPTER III.

Her scream aroused the household,
and the servants rushed breathlessly
to the spot from which it issued. There
they beheld poor Mrs Cobb stretched
full length upon the floor, blanched
and motionless; evidently lifeless. In
her right hand was a piece of paper
crushed in the iron grasp of her slen-
der white fingers. Tenderly they
raised her slender form and bore it to
her couch. 4 physician CHANGED to be
passing the house at the time, and,
hearing the confusion within, entered.
Through his timely efforts animation
was revived. Mrs Cobb slowly opened
her eyes and gazed bewilderedly
about her. Memory did its work, and
the faint tinge of hector that graced
her pale cheek betrayed to those about
her that she remembered all with ter
rible reality. With a moan she sank
upon her pillow.
In the meantime the particulars of
the occurrence flew from mouth to
mouth like wildfire, and hardly an hour
had elapsed before the ''elopement of
Horatius Cobb. Jr., with Miss Arabella
Pinkcheek." was the only topic of con-
versation in all Braggville- Youths and
maidens listened open-mo uthed to the
strange tale, young wives and hns bands
bewailed the fckleness of the false
hubby, while old maids and gossips
slyly winlSed at each other and NUT
tered: I'VE thought So In fact. by
nightfall there was not a person old or
young in the village of Braggville who
had not heard the whole account of the
Strange occurrence.
And what of Cobb? Where was the
perpetrator of all this tribul ation, the
originator of the fell idea that had
evolved into what might prove Il fatal
ity? After reaching the residence of
his client, Miss Piukcheek, he was re-
joiced to ascertain that his business
was of a character that would detain
him in Dumping Ditch only q few
hours and that he would be able to re-
turn home on the evening train; and
when the train bound for Braggville
pulled out of the station at Dumping
Ditch, it carried. no happier passenger
than Horatius Cobb, Jr.
Yes, Horatius was very happy that
night. He had been thinking over all
his mortal luxuries during the day and
had reached the conclusion that earth
held no dearer blessing for him than
his own little wife at home. Realizing
this fact more and more, he had pur-
chased a little gift to take Mrs. Cobb
upon his return. 1t was nothing more
nor less than that object of feminine,
adoration-a spring bonnet!
Cobb alighted from the cars. at
Braggville with merry heart and buoy
ant step. He would proceed directly
home witt his present for his wife
no. he would first stem around the corr
ncr and get his evening paper from the
newsdealer's. This he did, not no.
ticing the stares and EXPLANATIONS of
the bystanders, who would have been
no more surprised to have seen the
ghost of Hamlet's father stalk past
than to have observed the dignifed
Horatius trip by with light step. He
took his from the hand of the
