Six months had passed, and to-day
old st. Johns church of Topeka was
thronged with a fashionable Assem-.
blage, 1t being close to the hour set
for the marriage of Miss Nettie Col
burn, daughter of the Hon. Francis
Colburn, to Capt. Richard Johnston of
the Kansas volunteers. who had lately
returned from the Philippines.
Carriage upon carriage was deposit
ing its brightly arrayed occupants at
the door of the old edifice; the gray
haired priest was standing at the
chancel rail; the appointed hour had
arrived and passed: ten, twenty and
now the half hour was here, and still
no bridal couple.
The wedding guests sat in feverish
expectancy; the reverend father, eye
ing the entrance impatiently; when
the doors were thrown open to admit
an officer in full uniform, who hast.
ened to the altar and spoke to the
priest in low tone.
There was a look of sorrow on his
kindly old face as he dismissed the as.
semblage with the startling announce
ment that there would be no wedding
to-day"
The evening prior to his wedding
day Capt. Dick Johnston was passing
quietly at his bachelor apartments
with his friend and comrade. Jack
Dunn. captain in the Fifteenth U. S.
Regulars.

should see me the happiest of men;
and yet the recollection of that affair
with Mia | can't get off my mind-it

Jack"--Dick's voice was solemn
and tremulous-"I swear to you have
seen her-Nita- three times this
week, and right here in this room"
"Oh, the devil, Dick" laughed Jack,
you have been tipping too much; late
hours and loss of sleep will make a
healthy imagination, you know.
Damn it, man, how could you have
seen her when she has been dead SIX
months or more? Did not see her
buried in the old Jesuits ground at
Manila? Cheer up, old man; al.
most believe the nearness of your
wedding day is making you nervous"
Ugh, Jack, ! will never forget her
threat that night will never forgive
you, and If you leave me, my spirit
shall follow you and avenge my
wrongs. See. hear it now, Dick; It
