companion exhibited signs of ner-

of alarm. Apprehensively the young

A Swedish Marriage Custom.

The Scandinavian bridegroom gives
his betrothed a prayer book, and many
other gifts, which usually include
goose. She, in turn, gives him, espe-
cially in Sweden, a shirt, and this he
invariably wears on his wedding day.
Afterward he lays it away, and under
no circumstances of state or poverty
will he wear it again while alive. But
he wears it in his grave, and there are
Sweds who earnestly believe not only
in the resurrection Of the body, but in
the veritable resurrection of the Of the
betrothal shirts of such husbands who
have never broken their marriage vows

the eve Of his second marriage, the
wedding shirt his first wife gave him..

CHAPTER VII.

The recollection of that afternoon
will always be craven on my mind. We
debated over and over again my pro-
posal with regard to the money, and
had we been in complete possession of
our faculties am sure We should have
condemned it as unwise but we were
fiustered with alarm, grasped at a
straw and determined, although 1t was
as much as advertising Mr.. Huddle-
stones presence in the pavilion, to car
~ my proposal into effect
The sum was part in specie, part in
bank paper and part in circular notes,
payable to the name of James Gregory.
We took it out, counted it, inclosed it
once more in dispatch-box belonging
to Northmour and prepared letter in
Italian which he tied to the handle. 1t
was signed by both Of us under oath,
and declared that this was all the
money which had escaped the failure of
the house of Huddlestone. This was,
perhaps, the maddest action ever per-
petrated by two persons protesting to
be sane.
IIdu llle ulSDdICu-UOA ldllcu lulO OlI-
er hands than those for which it was
intended, we stood criminally convict
ed on our own written testimony; but,
as l have said, we were neither of us
in condition to Judge soberly and
had thirst for action that drove us
to do something, right or wrong, rather
than endure the agony of waiting
Moreover, as we were both convinced
that the hollows Of the links were alive
with hidden spies upon our movements,
we hoped that our appearance with the
box might lead to a parley, and, per-
haps, a compromise.
1t was nearly when We issued from
the pavilion. The rain had taken off :;
the sun shone quite cheerfully. | have
never seen the gulls fly SO close about
the house or approach SO fearlessly
to human beings. On the very door
step one tapped heavily past our heads
and uttered its wild cry in my very
ear.
There is an omen for you," sale
Northmour, who. like all freethinkers
was much under the influence of SUI
perstition. They think we are al
ready dead"
made some light rejoinder, but i
was with half my heart. for the cir
scumstance had impressed me.
A yard or two before the gate, on
patch OF smooth turf, We set down tn
tdispatch-box; and Northmour waive
a white handkerchief over his head
Nothing replied. We raised our voic
as, and cried aloud in Italian that W

still lay untouched where we had lef:
it hours before.
Mr.. Huddlestone, in long yellow
dressing-gown, took the end of the
table, Clara the other, while North
mour and faced each other from the
sides. The lamp was brightly trim
med; the wine was good; the viands,
although mostly cold, excellent OF their
sort.
Mr.. Huddlestone was certainly no or
binary character; he had read and OBJ
served for himself; his gifts were
