The young man in the dnnot ought 70
have looked supromely happy. There
were white ribbons tied around the trunks
which he went into the baggage room to
see about and every now and then he
reached around to the back Of his neck
a1d took some more rice from under his
collar. And the young woman who lean
ed on his arm looked up into his eyes and
called him "dear' and then looked around
deGaaNy TO 33o ifany6oly had heard her
But the young man smiled only when
she spoke, AS soOn as uno charm OF her
voice ceased he looked like q person with
large weight Of wrath on his mind
After he had seen his wife snugly
bestowed on the train he came back and
hunted up the friend who had accompani-
ed them.
cit was a good joke, wasn't it?" he
said grim)y.
"What do you mean?" inquired the
friend.
"Did you hear what the organist did
at the wedding?"
"Well, TO tell you the truth, I haven't
much OF an ear for music. But some Of
the tunes sounded kind Of familiar"
"Thcy were worse than familiar. They
were impertinent. DO you know who
the organist is? Hos Tom Toggles. He
wasn't expected. He isn't the regular
organist. He volunteered to play. He
represented ,dmself to be one OF my
dearest friends and secured the con-
tract"
"That was all right. He told me about
it. Hosaid he wanted to provide the slow
music"
"Yes slow, but sure"
"Tommy's good musician"
"There is no doubt about his being a
good musician. Nobody but good
musician would have dared undertake
what he did. He started those tunes in
with syncopated time and dark thick
harmonies SO tha5 the ordinary listener
wouldn't imagine they we're anything
but good, honest marriage music. Ii
was fiendlsh revenge. He was making
love to my wife before married her. He
knows her father has lots of money.
He didn't truly love her. He couldn't
with his nature. But he was terribly
disappointed when he found he was cut
out for good and all. So he sat down
there and under The guise Of friendship
scattered his sarcasm over the entire edi-
flee. ! supposed he would start in with
something like 'Oh, Promise Me. But
when we came walking up the aisle

OF course that is wnaC tho dear Gin WAS

"Of course not" answered tho friend
in n tone OF genuine sympathy.
