so transported with joy as he stood
up at the altar rail to be married,
that his thoughts reverted to a day
when he stood up ut the prisoners

most painful event of his life, obtrude
itself upon his mind, that when the
clergyman put the question, wilt

that any palmer than I do. That's
why I'm so upset. What can have pos

Nonsense" declared my wife, author
itatively, "a little coquetry in the right
place Is perfectly admissible! She
didn't want to make it too easy for
you, that's all. Very feminine, and
quite delightful of her, I call it,"
That's all very WELL" replied Ter
hume with some heat, and proper
enough I dare say! But, think what
that same coquetry may cost me-"
And you could see as he said it that
he already beheld in his minds eye
that third cousin Of his aunt's sitting
on the veranda of the house on his
aunt's property In Australia, with his
feet ON the railing.

If you're only interested in getting
that silly old fortune Of your aunt's, l
hope, yes, l positively hope, that she
will keep you waiting until it is too
late!" said Dearest Unexpectedly.
Terhune stared In surprise at this
point of view and l W I couldn't
help siding with him a little.
But my dear girl" he protested,
how can l help being interested in
1t? A fortunes a fortune, and besides,
isn't 1t for her, too, that l want 1t, as
we'll as myself? And then, you know,
how absurd 1t is II she's going to &C.
cept me anyway, as I'm rather sure
she Is, that she can't say so in time
to get me a fortune as we'll as a wife,"
Come, now!" l put In, that does
seem reasonable, doesn't it, Dearest?"
Il thought your understood better
than that, Wilfred," she said, with a
look almost of severity at me, and to
Terhune. II see you must be chastened
still further, Archibald" she told him,
