away, to be gone-I dom know-several
days anyway Every morning and after
noon as soon as the mail comes, take it
up to my rooms and give it to Jim, my
man. If anyone calls for me, just tell
them I'm away on my wedding-trip

all, only if everything goes all right
therell be another when | get back"
AS Jack, thoroughly mystiied but
chuckling over his good fortune, de
parted, Carlton sat down and dashed off
letters to his partners. To one he simply
stated that he had gone on his wedding
trip, but would return in time for the
big Bell case. To the older man, Mr..
Wheelock, he gave the whole story
telling him in what drawer to find the
correspondence and also his suspicious
as to the joke at the bottom of it. He
also repeated the instructions he had
given to Jack Then he caught the
Ne.v- York train
The next evening Jane sat at her desk
busily writing, trying to keep her thoughts
was scratching off mere stuff that she
would destroy when she was calmer
but she must keep busy; she must not
think of that foolish, impulsive thing she
had done. Why, why had she done it?
What would he think? He probably
wore that ring just from habit; but
''once and always" Charley her brother
had said of him. If that was true-well
it couldn't be undone now
Here a whistle at the tube interrupted
her, and as she answered it voice said ::
"A gentleman to see Miss Elton" and in
a few minutes came a tap at the door,
and the boy announced Carlton.
Jane went forward, ghostly white, but
she held out her hand and said steadily:
: "Cood-evening, Mr.. Carlton"
lie paid not the slightest attention to
the hand, but said: '.4Ioha-Jane, did
you mean it?
She looked up. The gray eyes were
fire now. She met them bravely for a
moment, and then, hiding her face in her
hands, said: Il meant it, Harry"
After awhile, when they came back to
earth, Carlton said 81" How did you
come to send it, Jaae:" and then she told
him the story of the joke.
They didn't know | ever had met
you, Harry. | took that Honolulu trip
when you were on your vacation the
summer that Charley was in Switzerland
and-well, | never said anything about it )
- Has your career satisfied you, Jane?"
Yes, in way, part of me; but"

bottle or two and flowers. and thew
sent me up to break it gently to YOU.
Jane, Jane did | do it gently?" He
laughed, holding her face between his
hands. Sweetheart, sweetheart, say
yes!"
Jane stared at him in utter disbelief;
but-well, there was really no reason
and ten years was a long time for an
engagement; SO: Il don't see that
can do anything else, she answered,
meekly enough now, and in another mo
ment the room was filled with a laughing
crowd, and Jane was hustled off to
get ready
When all were gone except the Eltons,
they talked it over Carlton had hunted
up Elton, pledged him to secrecy, and
then with Mrs. Elton to help the rest
was easy enough. The mischief-loving
couple enjoyed the joke within a Joke
most thoroughly, and with little persua-
sion decided to go on to Chicago with
the Cartons next day and give the
Alpha Sigma Sigma rousing reception.
Next morning Chase and Chauncev
and Cameron were disturbed at their
breakfasts by "A telegram, sir, and the
boy says, Collect five dollars"
a telegram of that length? What
could it mean? The message was long.
and seemed to be farrago of nonsense,
mere words strung together. But out of
it the bewildered recipients grasped this
much: Yourself and wife are invited
to a last meeting of the Alpha Sigma
Sigma Club at Carlton rooms tomorrow
night"
What could it mean2 And the tele-
grams came from New-York too!
Each man called at Cartons office on
his way down town. Off on his wedding
trip. Ye gods! went on the twenty-tifth
that was before he could have received
any letters! Was it possible he had had
that card up his sleeve all the time?
AT luncheon they met and compared
notes, but could come to no conclu-
sion
The next night no time was wasted in
keeping the appointment. They found
the rooms ablaze with light and fragrant
with flowers, and were greeted by most
charming Mrs Carlton.
Not one word of explanation could they
get. Elton only shouted with laughter
when one ventured question, although
he said that The woman was his sister
and that he believed it was an affair of
many years standing, dating back to
college days.
As they rose to drink the brides health,
Carlton said:
Let us drink to the passing of the
Alpha Sigma Sigma. Mrs. Chauncey,
Mrs. Chase, Mrs. Cameron, Mrs Carlton,

counts one hundred dollars, the price
