'"The festivities attendant upon the
wedding of Miss Veronica Moore to

with a startling check today. AS most
of our readers know, the long closed
house on Waverley avenue, which for
nearly century has been in the pos
session of the brides family, was open
cd for the occasion Mt the express wish
of the bride. For Il week the prepari-
tons for this great function have been
going on. When at an early hour this
morning line of carriages drew up in
front of the historic mansion and the
bridal party entered under its once
gloomy but now seemingly triumphant
portal, the crowds, which blocked the
street from curb to curb, testified to
the interest felt by the citizens of

Of Washingtons most charming wom-

ceremony of her marriage, large
number of our representative people
assembled to witness it, and by high

brilliancy

the memories thus evoked were mo-
mentary and the shadow soon passed.
1.-THE wedding had been set for high
noon, and us the clock in the drawing
room struck the hour every head was
craned to catch the first glimpse of the
bride coming down the old fashioned
staircase. But five minutes, ten min
utes, half hour, passed without this
expectation being gratlfied. Tile crowd

less when suddenly a cry WAS heard
from beyond the gilded pillars framing
the library door, and a young lady was
seen rushing from the forbidden quar-

with horror. 1t was Miss Abbott of
Stratford Circle, who in the interim
of waiting had allowed. her curiosity
to master her dread and by one peep
into the room, which seemed to exer-
else over her the fascination of Blue

stretched form of man lying sense
less and apparently dead on the edge
of the hearthstone. The terror which
instantly spread among the guests

glance at the dog, who uttered the
most mournful of protests in reply, he
shut the front door and betook himself
to the other side of the street.
As l noticed his assured bearing as
he disappeared within the forbidding
portal which, according to his own
story, had for so long time been shut
