Lucille started aL luc Tile, tucu
smiled at her in a dazed, absent way,
and bent down to sign the register.
Then the marquis drew her arm
within his and. led her to the carriage.
and the crowd followed to the Court
The wedding breakfast was as bril-
liant as the ceremony.
Amid the clatter and laughter the
carriage which was to carry the
bride and bridegroom was announced,
and Lucille went to change the bridal
array for her travelling dress. It Is q
moment when the bride, taking leave
of her parents and her old home, is
melted to tears; but Lucille had no
parents to take leave of, the ''home"
was a splendid palace, which had
been hers for a few months only, and
she shed no tears. She sat, on the
contrary, as calm and cold as if she
were being dressed for dinner while
her maid and the bevy of light-hearted
girls fluttered about her.
"Is there anything more, dear?''
asked Marie. ''I'll take every care of
the dress-you will like to look at it
when you come back, knowi-but
is there anything else?"
mo-" said Lucille; "there is no
thing else"
mo message for any one?" persist
ed Marie, then with a fiendish glee
she bent and whispered, mo message
for Harry Herne if he should turn
up!"
The color flew to Lucille's face, and
thrill ran through her whole frame;
but the color went, and left her white
and calm again as she looked her tor
mentor full in the seemingly innocent
face.
Harry Herne?' she said slowly,
icily. What message should l have
for him?"
The next moment the marquis was
heard in the hall calling to them that
they should lose the train, and Luz
cille went down
A crowd of the holiday-makers had
ventured to collect at the bottom OF
the steps to see the bride depart, and
they raised a cheer as Lucille ap-
peared.
Lucille gazed at them absently, but
the marquis lifted his hat and bowed,
with a pleasant smile.
Thanks, friends, thanks!" he said.
I'VE shall not leave you for long; we
shall soon be back"
AS he led Lucille down the steps.
| and the footman opened the carriage
door, the crowd pressed forward, and
one man was thrust against the mar
quis shoulder.
The marquis smiled presently and
murmured something agreeable, ex-
pecting the man to fall back covered
with humility and confusion; but in
stead, the fellow nodded Familiarity,
| and said, with laugh:
No offense, marquis; no offence!"
The words and the covert insolence
of the tone struck the marquis I'M
pleasantly, and he looked at the man
more attentively.
He was gaudily dressed, with a
huge pin in his scarf and big chain
meandering over his waistcoat. The
marquis noticed these points, and a
thick, oily, black mustache; but the
man was stranger to him, and,
| thinking that it was one of the gang
to whom he owed money, he nodded
CURLY and entered the carriage. Ii
anyone had told him that the man
! was called Sinclair, and that he was
a singer at music hall, Lord Merle
would have been little the wiser.

Napoleon Down and Out.

Napoleon has quit the Great
Northern Express for good. He lay
down in his stall Monday and
couldn't get up when they wanted
him, and so they had to send for a
substitute who was in the harness
till today, when the new horse came
here from Mr.. Brandt at Maynard.
The new express runner hasn't been
named yet, but he will probably be
called MAP" which is fitting
abbreviation in Difference to the one
and only Napoleon the company
ever had or will have. Napoleon s
only comfort now is Charlie Jor-
genson's brown hunting dog
"Sport,'' who will not condescend
to keep company with any other
horse.
