DELAYED THE WEDDING TRIP.
TransvaaI Bride and Groom Worried
by the Elements,

by the Elements.
Thrilling adventures get into the
society columns of the Transvaal
newspapers sometimes. A Johannes
burg paper tells of marriage at Ign.
denburg. 1t says: THE bride wore
her travelling gown and Immediately
after the ceremony the marriage trip
OF thirty-eight miles to Pilgrims Rest
was begun In cart drawn by eight
mules. When about half the distance
was made it was found that the Ohrig-
stad river was In flood and passage
was impossible. The route was re-
traced for about ten miles and temper
airy accommodation secured at farm
house. Next day. however, the river
proved just as impossible, and thus
for four days the honeymoon couple
were held up by the elements. On
the third day traveller attempted to
cross with a cart and two horses, but
the attempt proved disastrous, for
the horses and cart were swept away
and were never seen again. The pass.
enger probably owed his life to the
fact that he became entangled In a
barbed-wire fence. Two days after
this, the river having subsidized some
what. the help of some transport driv-
ers was requisitioned and the cart
and team were fioated across, with
the help Of strong ropes at the other

determined to get at the bottom of the
mystery, but this was not the place.
He jumped into the cab again and was
driven around to Mrs. Graves, who
had been his mentor since his
mothers death.

II was hard upon Bennington to face
the curious gaze that evening at the
charity entertainment. It seemed to
him as though every one in the room
were discussing him.
Still, he bore 1t bravely, sustained
by the hope of seeing Lucy. She was

When the curtain went up, there was
no sign of Miss Carter. 1t merely
disclosed Lucy standing in front Of a
mirror admiring her reflection. Then.
suddenly, the reflection stepped
through the mirror frame and a great

Remington looked after Lucy Al

Only the night before she had pren-
ised that she would marry him In the

with kiss. She had been tender and
loving then.
This morning she walked past hi.a
with no sign that she was aware Of
his presence save naughty sir!
when he had raised his hat in saluta-
tor.
The moro Bennington thought It
over the more inexplicabble it became.
he and Lucy had been more than
friends for a couple Of years. She
had so clearly SHOWN her preference
for his society that none had sought
TO dispute his position.
He could imagine no rival who
might have poisoned her mind against
him in so brief q time as had elapsed
since the right before. He puzzled
his brain until Il whiIded. but still no
satisfactory explanation presented it's

FAIR INES.

I saw thee, lovely Ines,
Descend along the Shore,
With bands of noble gentlemen,
And banners waved before;
And gentle youth and maidens gay,
And snowy plumes they wore;
1t would have been a beauteous dre.u-
Ii it had been no more!
Alas, alas, fair Ines.
She went away with song.
With music waiting on her steps.
And shoutings of the throng;
But some were sad and felt no mirth,
But only music's wrong.
In sounds that sang farewell, farewell,
To her you've loved so long
Farewell, farewell, fair Ines,
That vessel never bore
So fair a lady on its deck.
Nor danced SO light before;
Alas for pleasure on the sea,
And sorrow on the shore!
The smile that blessed one lovers heart
Has broken many more.
