the marriage ceremony that had trans

Meanwhile she who had been Mary
Shields was seeing the world She
drifted with Joseph Snodgrass from one
city to another. Their means of Iiveli-

housewifely accomplishments to account

Mrs. Snodgrass went to the cooper shop

noticed the movement and mistook it.
A resolution was born in her mind at
that moment.
She slipped into Sixth street car one
evening. She took a seat close to a big,
handsome, insolent man in the corner
There was an oath from the man. A
pistol smoking in the woman's hand made
quick answer, She had aimed at his

pierced his arm

pit1ful pretense of bearing up under the
blow. He had no idea that she loved
him so.
She reached home that evening, and
with diculty laid bare her broken heart
to her mother. Never before did such
wrath rage in the bosom Of the mother.
Keen as was her sympathy for her child,
1t seemed to be smothered entirely by
the anger and indignation that welled
within her when she thought Of the
humiliation that had been placed upon
the Pirez family. Yet feared she to
tell Manuel, for had he not left Do
lores to her keeping? And Dolores was
to Manuel the apple of his eye
Not until the following morning, just
before Manuel went out with his boats,
did she muster the courage to tell him.
She was shocked by the way he took It,
Had he stormed and swore she would
have felt some relief. But he wa ked
away, like a man asleep.
It was we'll into the forenoon when
the boat containing Manuel and Ramon
came scudding before the quickening
breeze back to the wooden pier. Manuel
was at the tiller and Ramon in the bow.
The sail was a curtain between them.
There We're no fish in the boat, for Man
uel had refused to cast his nets that
morning. He gave Ramon no explana-
ton of his conduct, for he was master
Of his own boat.
The wind increased and the whitecaps
grew into combers and dashed over the
bow OF the boat, drenching its occupants

shortened sail and looked calmly into the
teeth Of the squat. Manuel said nothing
Suddenly Ramon gave a cry and point

yards away. 1t was a man struggling In

board from boat or, more likely, ven
turesome bather- who had miscalculated
the tide and undertow. In an instant
Manuel had pushed the tilIer hard tc
port, and the boat swung around as on
pivot. AS the boat leaped toward the
drowning man. Manuel peered ahead un-
der the sails. and then In a flash a look
came over his face that surely Padre
Ventura, his wife, nor even Dolores
would have liked to see. Almost at the
same moment Ramon turned toward him
and their eyes met.
The boat sped on. The look in the
face of the man at the helm became a
distorted agony-the agony of one who
Yet still the boat sped on and it's course
was true. A plunge or two more and
1t had almost reached the man in the
water when suddenly the tiller went to
starboard and again the boat swung
around-away from the drowning man
The wind and the water were noisy, yet
an awful cry arose from the waves.
Manuel looked at Ramon. 1T was only
the scream of a sea-gulF, Ramon was
all he said
And Ramon returned the look with IN
'Ginching eyes and uttered the mono
syllable: Isl"
With all the wind behind 1t the boat
came on to the wooden pier.

feel regretful that I have deceived you
so long. I feel myself to be a hypocrite

He waited meekly to receive the full
tide Of Miss Isidora's curbed wrath.
She put out her plumb little hand. with
four dtmples in the four joints.
Don't go! she said in low voice.
What! cried the incredulous plaintiff
There's no reason why we shouldnt

brusque way. Things seem so very diff

each other. Couldn't we-compromise?"

The marriage OF Miss Delphine Love
and Mr.. Charles Cohn was a joke. They
thought it exceedingly funny at first, but
otter year they have tired OF 1t and
are asking the court to end the joke by q
divorce Miss Delphine Love was the
daughter of prominent physician OF st.
Louis She was beautiful, Of lively tastes
and belle She was prettiest when she
laughed. and. knowing this. she laughed
Il great deal
Miss Love took her laugh and her
amusing view of life to Louisville, KY.
for visit. She and the laugh and the
amusing view were the guests of Miss
Edith Terry, a Louisville belle. She was
then nineteen years old.
Miss Terry presented Mr.. Charles Cohn
to Miss Love, thus starting the joke
There is not a young man in Louisville
who is better known than Charlie"
Cohn He is known as a seeker after
pleasure, a man who can tell good story
and knows good joke. He is still bet
ter known as his fathers son. Charlie
Cohn was never known to take anything
seriously.
Young Cohn, who was so fond of joke,
admired Miss Love, who was persuaded
that life and everything was a joke"
He was attentive from the first. But
Miss Love was a belle IN the Kentucky
rs well as the Missouri city, and Char
lie" COINS attentions were no moro mark
ed than those of a half dozen other Ken
lucky beauX.
I'm standing in line. That's what I'm
doing, standing in line he declared. and
ne and Miss Love laughed until the tears
came. 1t was so funny you know
Miss Love returned to st. Louis late in
the summer. On Sept % she went to
Louisville for few days and stayed at
the Louisville hotel.
FCharne" Cohn heard OF her presence
in the city and telephoned her.
Give me all the news" said Miss
Love
Mr.. Cohn talked Of hops and golf. and
remembered that some friends had been
married the week before.
Such a joke" he said.
Miss Loves pretty laugh rippled back
10 him over the wires.
DO you want to get married." in
Quired young Cohn, whereat they laughed
again.
1T would be such joke" said the
young man.
Wouldn't ito" echoed the young
woman. 81
Are you game?" said the young man.
DO you dare me?" said the young
woman.
I do"
I'm game" came back through the
receiver.
Both laughed until there was a commo-
ton in the central office.
The same afternoon the jocular couple
drove to JeffersOnville. Ind, Louisvilles
GFetna Green. With them went Theodore
Barrett, a young man who liked a joke

Ar is mine still, and I intend to keep it.
Everything else they have taken away
from me because some logger-headed old
ancestor of mine signed his name to a
deed John B. Robinson instead Of John

alphabet could make any difference! I've
no patience with people! The majesty of
the law, indeed! Pshaw!"
But if the rest of the property belongs
to your Cousin Robinson, so does the
Tower" suggested Mrs. N1ilroy
II can't help that" said Miss Isidora.
Here I am, and here mean to stay,
law or no law"
Mrs Milroy opened her weak eyes.
Feeble as a kitten herself, she could
scarcely comprehend such valiant resolu-
ton in another.
But if they come here with the sher-
IF, and posse comitatus, and writ
of habeas corpus?" she faItered.
Then said Miss Isidora, they'll have
to clear out again. Common sense is
common sense. The house is mine, and
I mean to keep it. I've got new bolts and
bars to all the doors, and 1 keep a kettle
of boiling water on the stove night and
day, and my friend Mr.. Jeffreys, who is
a clerk in law office, has given me the
hint never to let in man with bag"
why not?" breathlessly questioned
Mrs. NTilroy
Don't you see?" said Miss Isidora,
snappishly. Because it. will be full of
law papers. Writs and summonses, and
all that sort of thing"
"Oh!" said Mrs Milroy,
The Tower was hers, and The Tower
she meant to keep. And Rebecca, he1
little maid. was stricken with breathless
admiration for her warlike qualities.

And whenever she received through the
mail a letter with a legal appearance, OF
an envelope crested with the firm address
of Messrs. Tape & Stringham, her cousin
Robinson's lawyers, she invariably poked
it between the bars Of the CRATE, and
smiled vindictively to see it blaze.
What are we to do with such a case
as this?" said Mr. Tape, when he heard
all this.
Put it in a sherif's officer at once,

NO no, no' said Mr.. Tape, blandly

And one pleasant October, afternoon
when the air was all blue mist, and the
