NO MARRIAGE AT THE TEMPLE
Couple Baked When License Was
Forthcoming.

+ oTthcominG.
When we'll known young couple
drove to the courthouse yesterday
morning and irq lied for Captain
Cobb, the man behii d the marriage
license, those abont the temple corri-
doris sat up and took notice. Sheriff
Bell explained that the genial capital n
was discussing baseball down the
street, or at any rate was absent, but if
a marriage license was desired he
could furnish the goods at summer
rates. The couple had evidently in
tended the visit as bluff, but the de-
termined look of the sheriff caused
them to retreat in good order, to the
tment of numerous self 1nvi-
ted wedding guests OF in the corridor.

OUT of THE
SHADOWS
By Fannie Heaslip Lea
By Fannie Heaslip Lea
Copyright, 1906. by RUBY Douglas

In the gentle current of Miss Sarah's
life by far the widest eddies were
Paola's love affairs. Miss Sarah had
never had a lover herself-she had al
ways been too busy taking care Of
Paola, who was the younger sister, a
slim. pale creature, with vivid eyes
and head that habitually dropped n
little as though weighted by its own
gold hair and a sense of languorous
melancholy.
Beside Miss Sarah's old time cour-
tesies Paola was as an orchid to a
pansy, but underneath the melancholy
was a certain irresponsible deviltry,
a certain intangible witchery, that
brought the most eligible youths of the
neighborhood in suppliance TO her feet
and filled Miss Sarah with unceasing
wonder and amazement.
Whenever a new victim appeared
upon the scene Miss Sarah thrilled
with apprehension. As he was friend
ly. she approved of him; as he was
more conspicuously attentive, she
watched for him; then in gentle per-
plexity that never vanished with add
ed experience she saw him hover, ad-
vance, retreat, hover again and plunge.
When the little comedy was played
out she took up her knitting with
sigh of relief, opened her volume Of
Felicia Hemans at the purple book
mark and prepared to rest before an
other siege.
Paola herself slipped from one emo
tional cataclysm to another, as the
slender moon from cloud to cloud.
They yelled her vivid calm for a mo-
ment, but she always emerged I'M
fettered on the other side.
She had been wearing Francis Lock
woods roses for month, when Miss
Sarah one night, after three gentle calls
unanswered, stepped through the long
French window on to the moonlit We
randa with a crimson scarf in her hand.
The June night called for no such
guard against its close, sweet warmth,
but on the subject of damp and dew
Miss Sarah was inheXible.
"Paola," she said anXiously, then,
since there was no Paola in all the

explained The other.

The young man began to turn pale.

How long would it take you to have

The young man calculated rapidly.

announced.
"Then get about it quick. I'll tend to
the old man"
The policeman turned and sauntered
back to where Bondell was still stand
ing.
Have you seen your man yet?" the
officer inquired.
"No! the broker Numbered. He
won't get the girl, you can bank on
that"
How was he dressed?' asked the
officer
Light brown suit, blue tie, black

Late that night Bondell returned to
his home after a fruitless search for
the unfortunate lover. AS he was
mounting the steps a cab halted at the
curb.
