broker. Where did you get it?"
81 am MT. Wellington" was the i'm
patient response. 81 got the watch
back last week."
Il suppose you can prove IDENTIFY"
was the Incorporating suggestion.
With a gasp Wellington realized
that he had not thing by which he
could Identify himself. There was
not a scrap Of paper in his pockets,
not even a visiting card.
The pawnbroker was calling up the
police department. Wellington knew
that there would be a lengthy delay
and bolted out of the shop. There
was no hope for him now. He must
walk the three miles to the church.
He set off down the street at a
rapid pace turning the corner before
! the surprised pawnbroker could come
to the door. A light driEle had set in
and Wellington had no umbrella, but
he did not notice the rain, the only
thought was that he was going to be
late for his own wedding.
So intent was he on this that he
never noticed a wagon coming down
the street until the driver pulled his
horse on its launches directly in
front of the engrossed man.
The shaft grazed the temple, ma
king a nasty cut, and a sympathetic
crowd escorted wellington to the
nearest drug store, where plaster and
sponge soon remedied matters, but
not until precious moments had been
delayed.

Druggist turned to where the clock
showed half after one. What is the

Wilmington gave it and again the
druggist telephoned. "a Mr.. Ions

announced. HE says you're to wait
for him"
He gave Wellington the morning
paper and went on about his busi-
ness. Some Of those who had acted
as WilIington's escort made small
purchases as an excuse for remaining
and cycling him with curious glances,
but most Of the crowd had faded
away, when LOnsdale in a big tour

quarter"
Nichols departed and Wellington
went downstairs to wait for his best
man. It was weary work waiting and
the time seemed to drag interminably.
At last he glanced at the clock. It
was 1880. The wedding was at IL.
Lonsdale should be here soon.
Even while he unused the bell rang
and he ran to open the door. Instead
Of the expected visitor there stood a
messenger with a telegram. Twenty
five cents" he demanded sharply and
mechanically. wellington handed
over the quarter and opened the en-
velope.
Delayed by wreck" the message
ran, impossible to reach town be-
fore 1880. For heavens sake re-
member that you are to be married
at noon at st. Thomas's. Will see
you there"
Wellington laughed. How like
LIonsdale to remind him that he was
to be married. Just as II that
thought had not engrossed his mind
since he had risen.
He would have to 60 down to the
church alone. It was so late it would
be we'll 10 take a car. He was glad
that he had held out that quarter.
In flash he remembered that the
quarter had been paid to the boy, He
darted upstairs and wildly searched
through the pockets Of his other
clothes. Not a cent could be find.
He remembered that Lonsdale was
to have drawn some money from the
bank. He had given him a check the
day before.
He could get some money at the
corner, the grocery man knew him.
That would be easy. He caught up
his hat and ran downstairs. Care
fully he made sure that the door was
fast, and with a springy step, strobe
toward the corner.
With sinking heart he noticed
that the door was closed and on the
glass was a notice announcing the
