i So. beesuse Benjamis Jsrbnry-snd his fellow directors-ikod motor cars snd grouse shooting and wished no unnseesssry curb to be placed on their hobby of share collecting they dscreed that none of their men should marry lest in ht Of husbandiy duty, he might demand more money ! For the meagre salary and board and the ines | timeble privilege of helping to swell Jaroury : dividends, a man must forsweer ell the pleasures of home and demesticity and must suppress the highly rsprehensible inclination of falling in love If hs wasn't prepared to do these things, he must go. Jsrbury's couldn't prevent mans marry ing. of course, bu. their wedding present to him vas inevitably the "sack." Iniquitoss! why' We are free people. We brsg of our freedom. and boast that we are able | Co do what we like
 1 This sort of thing wasn't very eonsotns to Fred Moore. It was bis own liberty he loneed for liberty to marry the girl of his heart, and not care who knew it. But that couldn't be. To make their marriage known would mean the ''sack" for both, while their references would be marked Married without permission" and their chances of employment elsewhere greatly less ened
 Whatever bitterness the reflection caused him, he quickly chased it away, consoled by the ! thought that, at all events, Eta would be his wife
 'Do you know, dear" he said to her in q low tone presently, '1 used to think that stood no chance of ever winning you? I always thought that you preferred that chap Manders, of the carpet department" A little turrow came into being, just over the | girls eyes.
 'Richsrd Manders!" she said sr.vely, ''oh, Fred, how could you think I could like him | He's man detest. He's mean and underhand- ed, man not to De trusted. But don't let's talk | of him."

 With which words, and flush of hot and bit ter anger upon his face, the man went out. It was Richard Msnders.
 |. It Eas done The most important step in their lives had been taken. Fred Moore had placed the ring upon Etta's finger in earnest now; they had made the solemn vcvz that bound them to- gether till death should them part, and they had signed the register in confirmation thereof Fred drew the pale and trembling girl aside, and folded her to his breast. The registrars head was disereetIy turned-the official had once been bridegroom himself.
 H'Etts, my dariins-my wife for svermorel''
 ''fy dear, dear husband!"
 Their lips met in loving kiss
 Another moment and they were in the passage looking through the open door into the street Eta paused there second snd unpinned flow CT she was wearing Fred had given it to her
 q mustn't wear this back to the shop, dear husband" she said, Cor they'll"
 'Fine you for breaking the rule, Eta. Yes, dear; it's besstly hard, but there's no help for It. There's that, too." He touched the wedding ring reversntly
