Our hands, and there was Cloudburst
somewhere inside of him.
Me and the kid appointed ourselves
a committee on arrangements, and the
weddin would have been a grand success
if it hadn't been for Nose.
Il drove forty miles after the parson
and transported all the way to camp on
the hurricane deck of a mouse-colored
cavuse the most ambitious cake that ever
inspired the pangs of dyspepsia. Pard-
ner, that cake was worth travelling miles
to see. 1t was an architectural dream.
The superstructure was vanished with
diluted chocolate lozenges, the south and
west wings were calcimined with Coag-
ulated sugar, and the dome was bedazzled
with cinnamon and peppermint candy and
trimmed with real lace, cut en- train.
The kid resurrected from his ward
robe full-dress suit, billed shirt, collar
and cuffs white tie, patent-leather shoes
and a stiff hat, and when Moses was
arraved therein he didn't look like any
thing I'd ever seen before.
But, pardner, as l have previously
remarked it wasn't what you could pos
sibly imagine under any circumstances
whatsomever that happened to Nose.
So it was that when the moment for
the splicin' arrove, when. the parson
stood with Bible in hand and the bride
in her prettiest buds entered the parlor,
Moses wasn't nowhere in sight.
Wrestling with a great apprehension,
me and the kid trailed out to find him,
and in a quarter of an hour we saw him
danglin' by the posterior portion of his
bridal array from a tree.
:" However did it happen, Mose?' says
|, when we'd Plucked him from the branch.
:" 1 dunno, says he, not exactly. l
was takin' a little stroll to steady my
nerves, when l felt sudden jar and the
next minute l was gain up my trousers

l kinder thought | saw gentleman sheep
lookin up at me, but amt sure. Then l
heard something rippin' down through
the branches, and | looked and it was me.
Not having ladder convenient, we
couldn't recover all of Moses raiment.

ner and the ceremony proceeded

to interrupt, III go get the parson,
mar m, and the license and-and the cake,
The Teddy laughed again. Some
times SAYS she, l think Moses acts so
queer
He is queer, marin, says l; but
that's the beauty of him. There's
nothing, Teddy, like having husband
that you can distinguish among million.
Now take Nose, FIR instance. There
isn't another human critter like him no
where. You couldn't lose him, Teddy, if
you wanted to, and if you did, his iden-
tifcation would be complete. Besides,
if you don't marry him, marin, who
will?'
If it's necessary to save his life
says she, laughing like a bubbling spring.
1t is, leddy!' bursts out 1, grabbing
at the idee like a speckled trout at fly.
From all present and perspective synp-
toms Moses is already suffering the tor
lures of untimely dissolution, and SO me
and the kid here, we organized ourselves
into a kind of a mattermonial encourage
ing society for the pu pose of adm and
abettin' Cupid in the case under consid-
Grafton. We are obliged to you, marin,
for your kind assistance, and we will now
proceed to carry the news to the party
of the second part.
The wilder blushed real happy and
shook our hands, and me and the kid
started back real cheerful.
When we got to the door of the cabin,
there was Moses sitting on the edge of his
bunk looiin like a fOrlorn hope gone to
smash. The kid and me held an ante
moyt1fUt consultation, and it was decided
that | should impart the glorious tidings.
So l advanced and put my hand on him.
Moses, says l, now do be calm
Did you ever see a man excited when
he's going to his own funeral?' says he.
But says l, it's not funeral, it's
a weddin'
WHAT says he, showing symptoms
of chronic apoplexy.
Kid, says l, git the ak, and if he
jumps hit him! Now, Noses, continues
l, the Teddy says she'll have you.
For minute Moses wrestled with
an ungratifed desire to crate, then he
kind of staggered to his feet and grabbed

copied from this. The doors. are
made OF gold, silver and bronze
melted and run together. The old
guide takes great pleasure in proving
to you the musical charms of these
doors. He slowly opens and closes
them with such dexterity that the
natural squeak of rusty hinges seems
to awaken melodious notes. Some
day the charm will be lost when a
Yankee oils the hinges. He really
believes that the sounds are the music
of silver and gold bells. Across the
way is the building containing the So
called Scala Sancta, said to have
come from the palace of PLATE.
Here the penilents ascend upon their
knees. Here it was that Martin
Luther is said to have obtained what
to him was clearer vision of truth.
we spent some delightful hours
among the ruins of the old Roman
Forum. Here of all places in Rome
you are face to face with ancient
things. Here you gradually go back
ward along well known historical
paths until you find yourself confront
ed by myth. For the grave of the
mythical founder of Rome is pointed
out. The few remaining pillars and
arches give evidence of the greatness
of the old temples and palaces.
Explorers are doing much to restore
to us something of the original plan
OF this famous place. Here we seemed
to be in the presence of the Caesars
and to hear the fiery words of Cieiro,
fiery words which generally lost their
fire as L translated them in high
school. Above on the Palatine Hill
| we visited the home of Caligula that
archfiend of ancient Rome. Here
also are the ruins of the palaces of
the Caesars. Here we obtained good
view of the city. Just across from
us were the Tarpian Rocks, where
Donatello hurled the monk to his
death, according to the story of "The
Marble Faun." Massiveness marked
most of the structure of all these
| buildings but here and there were
evidences of grace and beauty.
The Colosseum is the one ruin of
Rome which is really satisfactory. It
remains as it has been for centuries
and is a wonderful monument to the
indefatigable labor of the old Roman
builders. Large sections of it have
been torn down to furnish building
material for palaces in the city, but
enough remains to tell what it used
to be. Here eighty thousand people
could be seated and were entertained
by scenes of cruelty and bloodshed.
The old saying that "when falls the
Colosseum, Rome will fall, and as long
as stands the Colosseum, Rome
will stand" seems based on sound
common sense. q have not given
the saying accurately, but it is near
enough.)
The Pantheon is considered to be
the best specimen of Rome architec-
ture left. It is ponderous but SYM
metrical structure and is worthy
resting place for the great dead of
old and new Rome. Thru the great
eye Of the dome, the eye which has
never been shut, one gets a glimpe of
the Italian sky which you never for
get. Here we paid our respects to
the memory of Raphael, who is buried
there.

Of this evident fact, and Parker felt

went on, "a regular 10-pounder. Ny

I'D hate to have a Thanksgiving
without a turkey from home, yet
there is no one 1 can go to. l might
have asked Mrs. Burton to cook it,
but she has such a big family that
| there would scarcely be room for me,

Mrs. Ainsley stretched out her

impulsively. I'VE have not bought

real home dinner. I'm glad you

Does it need any fixings or
things?" he asked.
I'VE have all that is needed" she
declared. Would 6 O'Clock suit yoa ?''
First rate" he answered heartily.
May l come up about 1 and help?

Mrs. Ainsley smiled. ct guess you

she suggested. You'd better come

He made a graceful speech of
thanks and went downstairs tread
ing on air. At last he was to dine
with them, to meet Nina, and, per-

would not be his fault if the invita-
ton were not extended.
He settled himself in front Of the
fire again, but not to scowl at the

at the modest "29" which stood be-
tween him and the red-letter day.
On the way down to his office in
the morning he sent over some celery
and apples, and he made a five-pound
box of candy his excuse for going up
stairs the following evening.

diffidently as he handed in the pack

tastes good on a holiday"
She smiled as she saw the size of
the box, but she made 40 comment
beyond a few words of thanks, and
unwillingly encIgh Parker turned to
go down stairs
More than ever Parker hated that
"29" on the calendar, but there was
no help for it. He could only wait
with what patience he could COM
mand for the next day.
He went out for a walk Thanksziv-
ing morning, but he was divided be-
tween a fear that he would return too
early and the danger Of going far

Parker paused. For the life Of him
he could not remember the name of a
single town in Rhode Island, and he
remembered telling that the family
lived there. He took out a pencil and
purposely broke the point. With an
exclamation of regret he slipped the
pencil back into his pocket.
'I'll bring up the address tomor-
row evening"" he said cheerfully.
Then his heart sank as the girl came
forward with a sheaf Of pencils.
'I'm an artist, you know" she said
with a little laugh. There is never

With a grin he took the pointed

felt that Centerville was a safe guess.
There must always be a Centeryille

Uncle Jim was mothers favorite
brother, and he's always been like a

Funny both father and mother should
have the same name and yet not be
related. The Rhode Island Parkers
are the oldest family"
Mrs. Ainsley's voice sounded like a
reprieve as she announced dinner.
Parker gasped as he entered the
dining room. The table was set with
exquisite taste though nothing of
great value was displayed. It was
more the result of artistic apprecia-
ton Of the beautiful than mere dis
play, and his unconscious admira-
ton brought a smile Of pleasure to
