II HE second day out from Southamp-
ton Miss Helen Baker decided that
ecean travel was not so bad after all.
She sat placidly in her steamer chair
and watched with considerable interest
the rest OF the passengers as they took
their morning walk or stood about In
Groups Until now her sole acquaint-
ances had been the ships doctor and
The room stewardess.
There was a heavy first cabin list
and the decks were crowded. The
greater part were Americans homeward
bound, but there were a few who were
nndeniably foreign in appearance. One
of these Helen decided must be a count
1t the very least He was tall and slsn-
Ser. with a decidedly military air,
which was accumulated by the immense
mustachios as black as the neatly
sitting frock coat he affected. Helen
had never met count and she watched
him intenty as he passed among the
crowd on the deck. with a pleasant
word and a smile for every one.
Her interest was not lost upon the
sount. Presently he dropped into the
chair beside her with & remark about
The weather. Now Helen had been eau
toned by her aunt not to make the
acquaintance OF strange men on the
boat. 1t was upon her promise not to,
That she had been permitted to under
bake the voyage alone. This was for
gotten in a moment now. Surely. she
argued, there could be no harm in talk
ing to count. Before the lunch bugle
Was blown they were fast friends. and
The count knew more about her than
she realized that she had told. He car
ried her rug Inside the salon TO- her
and she promised that she would try
and take little walk after lunch.

be married in the theater after the
play and with the lights turned down.
The young lady, who was not en-
trely devoid of common sense, rather
objected, but as the manager offered
her one-hundred dollar check as an
inducement she agreed, providing, OF
course, that her fiance had no objec-
ton. AS soon as everything was ar
ranged the press agent went to work
with the result that the theater wa.
packed nightly by a crowd of people
who was all anxious to see the Girl
who was going to be married in the
dark. On the appointed evening (Which
the management had taken care to adj
vertlse freely the audience, at the
dropping of the curtain, were asked to
keep their seats while the marriage
ceremony was performed.
When the actors and actresses had
taken their places on the stage the
clergyman made his appec -ance, and
at sign from the delighted press
agent the lights were lowered and the
service began. The ceremony barely
took ten minutes to perform, but ths
audience went away satisfied at having
been present at one of the strangest
weddings ever celebrated
Accident was the primary cause of
Miss Jane Dome and Mr. Percy WHEEL
Ian being married in the dark. The
wedding took place in the church of
st. John, Jacksonville, Fla, and every
thing had proceeded smoothly when
Just as the clergyman was interrogat-
Ing the bride as to her willingness to
take Mr.. Whellan as her welded hus-
band. the gas went out and the congrs-
cation was left in inky darkness. Sew.
eral attempts were made to light II
again, but as it was evidently turned
of at the meter the result was hardly
successful.
The bride, who was somewhat super
stitious, declared that 1t was a warning
to her, and considerable difficulty was
experienced in obtaining her permits
sion for the continuation of the service
by the aid of couple of candles. At
the conclusion of the ceremony, when
the wedding party were gathered round
the well-lit supper table. good many
Jokes were cracked at the expense of
the bridegroom, who, however, took
his chatting with very good grace.
