This commission selected Mr.. Fetch
er to do the work and has given him
complete charge. The roads as con-
templated will take about three years
to build, and II is confidently anticf-
pated that before the system as now
laid out is finished the county will
provide the money for several hun

so per cent of the voters favored the
construction of the road system.

Santa Fe railroad and new line Is
being constructed from the Southern

CHAPTER XVI.

Mr. Bell WIS certainly far too ner-
yous to examine the special license,
and, indeed, there was no time to do
so; for as Vane spoke. they could hear
the rattle of the brides carriage, and
the clerk knocked at the vestry door.
Vane followed the curate to the al
tar, with Hal by his side; and pres
emily there was the rustic Of silk and
satin, and, just giving the finishing
touch to the pretty interior of the old
church, came the small procession OF
the bride and her maids.
Now, there are brides and brides;
for instance, there is the fearful bride,
whose face assumes for the occasion
a swollen and distressed appearance,
owing to the quantity of brine which
she has expended, an@ whose frame is
shaken by intermitten sobs OF SUCH
would be Maud and Georgina. Then
tn ere is the nervous bride, who trem-
bles as if she were being led to exc
cution, and who leans Imply upon the
arm OF the individual who is to give
her away, and who is, no doubt, de-
lighted to do so. Then there is the
matter-of-fact. strong-minded bride,
who advances to the hymeneal altar
with firm step and composed counte-
nance, and who delivers the responses
at the proper time, and in calm,
clear voice which makes even the
bridegroom's tones seem faltering and
hesitating. Now, Jeanne was like unto
none of these. She had not been cry
ing, for her eyes were as clearly de-
fined as ever, and the long lashes
were anything but swollen rivers;
she as pale, but not nervously white;
and the little hand that rested on I'm
Gle Johns arm was light as a feather.
Only a keen observer would have de-
tected the slight culver of the sweet
ripe lips, and the faint little touch OF
color which ever and again fitted
across her face as she moved toward
the stalwart figure awaiting her.
Once, and only once, did she raise
the long, sweeping lashes, and then 1t
was to glance at the handsome face
which was turned toward her with a
half-suppressed smile of pride and
Impotence.
There was cause for such pride on
his part, for Jeanne, as she stood in
the subdued light of the stained win
dow with the tattered battle-fags
over her head, with her beautiful face
set in it's framework of soft, antique
lace, looked fitting bride for
prince.
Poor Mr.. Bell sighed as he turned
over the leaves of his praye-book,
and his eyes were dim; it was rather
hard to have to forge the chain which
should bind her to another, and his
not at any time strong voice sounded
yoefully weak as he commenced the
service which was to make Vane and
Jeanne man and wife for better or for
worse
Of course the opening words were
the signal 10: Geo. gina and Maud to
commence crying, witch they did In
an openly covert way. to the utter
ruin of their bouquets, and the still
further swelling Of their already Grim
son eyelids.
Bell read on, scarcely lifting his
eyes from his book; Vane stood
straight and stalwart. half turned TO
ward Jeanne; Jeanne herself stood
with downcast eyes, the faint futtel
OF color coming and going upon hei
face. yane's responses cams
promptly in his deep. musical voice

presently MS grave voice was heard
