The birth Of the new year brought
Carl P. Waters and Annie V. Pinckney
together. As the old was rung out and
the new rung in, Annie and Paul clasp
ed hands in an eternal friendship that
on March 81 led them across the depths
of matrimony

cars greatest treasure in life is his
cornet.
With the cOrnet and Annie by his
side he planned to walk down the
broad avenue of refined vaudeville. sup
porting her and incidentally blasting
his way to everlasting greatness.
He is Is, she is IS. and it might have
been just as he said but for the fact
that an hour after Rev. Dr-Adams of

Paul was ordered to his room, the
while the Pinckneys and the Waterses
assembled in joint family conclaVe 1t
was agreed all around that Annie is a
perfectly lovely girl, in fact, just as
sweet as can be. but apparently Mrs.
Waters had other plapS for her son.
for she announced an unalterable in
tention at the conclave of having the
marriage annulled.
Pater Waters agreed with his wife.
But the Pinckneys, who seem to be-
lieve that a cornetist is a good thing to
have around, took a stand on higher
ground.
Il believe" said Pater Pincknev.
that when young people feel that way
they ought to be in double harness. L
don't want the marriage annulled, be-
cause my little girl likes the boy so
we'll"
This was the rock on which the con-
clave broke. and since then there has
been an armed truce between the two
families. while Carl has kept to his
room, awakening the echoes with dole
ful solos on his cornet, and Mrs. Wa
tiers, deprived of the comforts of music,
has found her sole consolation in a
smelling bottle.
NCNI Move IN Oourt
The next move. it is believed. will be
made in the courts. Indeed, both sides
have already invoked the services of
lawyers. and a strange young man has
made repeated calls at the Pinckney
house for Mrs. Waters without being
brought face to face with the object of
his search, for IL is strange thing that
folks who are expecting to be served
with legal papers can detect a process
server mile off. and the mysterious
caller has never got further than the
Pinckney front door.
There was a brief interlude for the
unhappy lovers. Some one with base
soul attempted to encompass a. base
legal end by bringing them together.
Accompanied by the mysterious stran-
ger, Paul was sent to the home of his
wife, but lover of lovers flanked the
plotters. Paul was admitted. and the
stranger was thrust into outer dark
ness.
There was a hurried embrace. a sim
gle kiss, and then another parting Paul

was under a secret promise to say
nothing.
AS a newspaper correspondent ap-
preached the mansion in Seventh ave-
nue., his ear was arrested by the melan-
choly strains of a cornet. AS he neared
the Waters house the pleading notes
grew louder. ard as the door was OPEN
ed there was an outburst of sound like
the crash of Wagner overture. Mrs.
Waters appeared.
ScIo From the Dungeon
Il say nothing. do nothing" she said.
Am saying nothing, am doing moth

As she ceased talking the strains of
the cornet died out, and a young man,
attired. among other things. in a white
vest and pink shirt, appeared.
Carl, cried the mother, "go back"
Carl Immediately disappeared.
What will your son do about the
marriage" was asked.
He'll do just what 1 say" was the
frank response.
Then the doleful sounds of the cornet
solo were renewed, and, swelling out

the breezes among the trees in Pros
