An unusually pretty luncheon was
given for a recent bride. The floral
decorations were entirely of bridal
wreath and American beauty roses.
The centerpiece was a large circle OF
bridal wreath. over which n beautiful
double heart of American beauties
was suspended. At each plate was
long stemmed beauty to which was
attached wee heart-shaped envelope
containing the cards of the happy
pair. Tall silver candlebras held pure
white candles with American beauty
shades. The favors were white satin
heartrhaped boxes. with hand-point-
ed beauty rose and the monogram of
the couple In gold. They were filled
with heart-shaped bonbons. At the
wedding all the attendants wore coro-
nets Of bridal wreath and carried
beauty roses: the crowns were all

stared moodily ahead. Once he reused.

Rather tall. very dark. smooth

said. putting down the book she had

"A girl would be buried alive here"
II was then some one raped at the
knocker on the heavy front door. Hal
sey got up leisurely and opened 1t,
admitting Warner. He was out OF
breath from running. and he looked
half abashed.
Il am sorry to disturb you" he said.
But I didn't know what else to do.
It's about Thomas"
What about Thomas?" I asked
Mr.. Jameson had come into the hall
and we all stared at Warner.

planned. Hes sitting down there on
the edge of the porch. and he says he
has seen a ghost. The old man looks
bad. too: he can scarcely speak"
Hes as full OF superstition as an

some whisky and we will all go

No one moved to get the whisky.
from which ! judsed there were three
pocket TASKS ready for emergency.
Gertrude threw a shawl around my
shoulders. and we all started down
over the hill: I had made so many
nocturnal excursions around the place
that l knew my way perfectly. But
Thomas was not on the veranda. nor
wns he inside the house. The men
exchanged significant glances, and
Warner got a lantern.
He can't have gone far" he said.
He was trembling SO that he couldn't
stand when I left"
Jameson and Halsey together made
the round of the lodge. occasionally
calling the old man by name. But
there was no response. No Thomas
came. bowling and showing his white
teeth through the darkness. I began
to be vaguely uneasy. for the first
time. Gertrude. who was never nerv-

looking along the yellowish line Of the
road. while I waited on the tiny YER

Warner was puzzled. He came
around to the edge of the yerauda
and stood looking at It as IL 1t ought
to know and explain.
He might have stumbled into the
house, he said. but he could not
have climbed the stairs. Anyhow. he's

| The other members OF the party had
come back now. and no one had
found any trace of the old man. His
pipe, still warm. rested on the edge
| of the rail. and inside on the table his
old gray hat showed that its owner
had not gone far.
He was not far. after all. From the
table my eyes Travelled around the
room. and stopped at the door Of a
closet. ! hardly know what impulse
