I don't think anything about it at

but twenty minutes to catch the train.
All. here's TOmPson with the valisesi"
He takes Miss Anstruther's maid. an
English girl of about 20, and rather
helpless in a French-speaking country
puts her with the heavier articles of
their baggage into vOiture and dis
patches her to the railroad depot at
once. Returning TO his fiancee on the
deck of the boat. he says impatiently:
Why doesn't Edwin bring Marina on
deck?''
This is answered by the young Cor
sican bride herself My husband" she
fingers on the word radiantly, will be
along in a minute. He is cording up
our baggage, sailor fashion. All atau-

Enid" and the American leads the
way.
Never has Marina looked more ra-
dainty beautiful than she does as
Barnes assists the ladies down the
gangplank. A simple yet effective
travelling frock Grapes the lines of her
exquisite figure. Her face beams full
of a great hope on the Quai Toilette.
The bustling traffic of the great sea-
port of southern France represents the
modern world. into which she is again
stepping. 1t seems to separate the
bride from the medieval barbar1sm
and cruel vengeance of her native
isl9nd-paSsiOns that had so often dom
mated her during the last dread year.
To Barnes she whispers: 'I only
look forward now. The past is forgot
ten: happiness is before me-" and
waves a delicately gloved hand to her
husband. who springs down the gang
plang carrying the corded articles. To
him she cries: Hurry, Edwin. TWen-
