And so pretty little Bertha Nhltihs was
married the spring after her hrst sea-
son in society.
Their honeymoon was not 20 be spent

Bertha really cared very htte for the
I gaiety I'm which her mother had led her.
and Edgar consented 90 spend their hon

have everything in readiness for their
arrival.
Their plan was a secret from all their
friends. They only said: we are gong
to have an original honeymoon and
would answer no questions as TO where
It was TO be spent.
It was 10 o'clock on the nor ing after
the wedding when they reached the rail-
road station nearest 10 their destination.
In vain they looked for old Martin, whom
they had expected 10 meet them and drive
them over 10 the lake. six miles distant.
What could have become OF himl lie
was so faithful they knew he would
never have forgotten 20 come Tor them
"Weu. little wife" said Edgar at last,
"the only thing Tor ms to DO is to 20
over IN the stage. 40 doubt there Is
some good reason Tor Martins failure to
meet us here"
So in the stage they went They were
so fun Of plans for their stay tn the cot
tage by the lake that the time passed
quickly. Notwithstanding that the lum-
boring old stage moved slowly.
