I'D have been married before If I'd
known that wedding Journey was such

Il guess mine was little different from
most Of them, though. had been plug

$500 laid by. But when l got my raise to
thirty week Elsie and l decided that we
could have the wedding without waiting
any longer, II we were very economical.
That's why engaged board for two
weeks up at that little farm on the Hud-
son. There weren't any Tugs about the

some food, though plain. told the farmer
Just what time we'd arrive and he promised
to drive In and meet us at the station.
We'll, the wedding came off without
hitch, and we boarded the train as happy
as though we were on q wedding trip to

was looking round for the farmer and his
carry-all. when up dashed a rubber tired
Victoria, drawn by pair of high stepping
bays, with two men In livery on the coach
mans seat 1t was such an uncommonly
swell turnout that Elsie and 1 stopped to
watch it. Then suddenly things began to
happen. The coachman pulled up at the
platform just where we were standing,
down jumped the footman, and before we
knew what had happened he had grabbed
our bundles.
SURPRISE FOR COUPLE.
This way, If you please, SIR he said.
We'll, of course | knew that rig didn't
belong to our farmer and tried to stop the
footman, but to tell the truth was a little
dazed. and before l could get out word he
had our trunk checks, and had showed both
of us into the Victoria. And the next second
he was up beside the coachman, and away
we whirled.
elsie looked frightened.
Bob, she demanded where did your
farmer get carriage like this?'
I don't know, I said; I tried to stop
the footman. but he would shove us in. Now
i'm going to wait and see what he thinks
he's going to do with u.s.
1--WE didn't have to wait long. In about
20 minutes we turned off the road through
a big stone and iron gate into one Of tho
finest places you ever saw We rolled up a
bread drive with tall trees on either side
and here and there a lawn trimmed with
flowers and curious shrubbery We couldn't
see the house at first, it was SO far back
from the road. Then it suddenly doomed
into view. 1t was white stone, but as we
rolled UP to it it looked like iarble. 1t had

whacking big glass conservatory on the
other, and out somewhere behind 1t were
several acres Of stables.
I'VE stopped at the broad front steps and
as the footman jumped down a fat butler
came hobbling out Of the front door. He
was followed by maid.
Either we're both crazy, whispered to
Elsie as we got out Of the Victoria, or
everybody we've met since we left New
York is Don't let on until we're sure
Then the maid grabbed her. A young man
with pale, melancholy face led me upstairs
through wilderness Of magnifcence into
room that took my breath away.
Shall 1 shave you, sirf he asked.
Dinner will be served in half an hour
II had made up my mind to see the thing
through, so / sai!. Go ahead and when
looked around ags-s- he was gone. But be
was back in minute or two carrying sill
yer waiter with siphon of soda and
cocktail on 1t. He set them down and dis
appeared as silently as before. BY the
time l downed the cocktail he was back
again with my modest shaving outfit and
my dress suit and shirt. Being on q
wedding trip had put in the dress suit
on the chance. Then the beggar shaved
me. 1t seems little thing to mention,
but wish he could shave me again before
die. There was more real solid recupsra-
tion in It than in any two months, vaca-
tion ever had in my life.
When he goth through he helped me
into my clothes. Il was nightly relieved
that had started my welded life with a
new outfit, though I think the inscru.able
gentleman did open his eyes just a hair
when he had to take the links out Of the
shirt I had on before he could put them in
the ether one.
Z After little exploration, found my
way down to the library, and there was
Elsie in her best dress, with her eyes bu,g-
ing. She had been having round with the
maid. Then the butler appeared and pilot
ed us in to dinner. Elsie forgot herself
table. 1t was food Of rose-cOlored light
and silver and crystal and white linen and
flowers. can't tell you anything very
definite beyond that. know we had clans
on the she'll and wine and soup, and then
other kinds OF wine and champagne ana
dishes that ia never met before. and never
hope to meet again, until can hire q

ever the whole business like benevolent
deity.
The dinner was two hours long. At the
end Of it there were cigars. The same man
that hired the chof had brought the cigars
