Tip" Refuses
To Talk of Journey.

OF that long journey Tip refuses TO
talk. Only half uttered sentences and the
story told by the young wife reveals the
history of those long hours, when,
torn between hope and despair. they
hurried Southwark. No one but Tip
himself can tell the song Of alternate
fear and happiness which the wheels
sang for him in their endless turning.
and no one but the bride heard his oft
reiterated declaration, that, come what
may, he and his young wife should
never be separated

Friends Of the young people tell of
how the romance born in the football
field grew and deepened from mere at
traction to love They tell Of long mo-
tor rides through the surrounding coun-
try. OF vaIls along the quiet streets at
dark; Of stolen half hours spent away
from lessons, and Of long, happy Satur-
days together. But it was really a case
Of love at first sight. Even the youthful

American Consul

I'VE couldn't get a license. and the
American consul wasn't at all keen IN
help us out But having got that far
we weren't coming back, so we went TO
Champlain, where Jimmie had a friend
who was an attorney
Tips voice dropped little as he
talked. The memory of their diff
cultes was strong upon him and ne
told with crisp implicitly Of their ar
rival at Champlain at dusk. with a
cold wind sweeping down out OF the
North and only the love in their hearts
keeping them from acknowledging how
tired and disheartened they were bv
their rebuff In Montreal. At Cham
plain il was the same story. and the
young reOpls sitting IN the attorneys
office stared helplessly at one another
as they realized that they couldn't get
married in Canada, and they couldn't
get married in New York State.
But surely" Tip cried. there must
be some place where =e can marry.

wife"
The ring Of determination IN the
young voice reused the sympathy Of
the lawyer, who had. perhaps, been in
love himself. He suggested that they

Friends of the best man. who live in
Burlington, extended their hospitality to
the bride, and it was in a strange
house that sympathetic hands helped
her to get ready for the wedding.
The Rev. z. @. Guthrie performed the
ceremony. After a luncheon at the resi-
dence of the Powells the young folk
started back for Providence. The
Burlington folk had showered them with
rice The precious band Of gold was on
the brides finger and the whole world
had assumed the rainbow tint which II
now wears for the young couple.
But at the station an unwelcome sur
prise greeted them.
From the front page Of a newspaper
fared their names. and there below lay
the sensational story Of their eIope-
meut, verified by the absence of the
three from Providence.
Wen have TO tell now" said the
bride little piteously. ''Oh. Tip, what
shall we do?"
DO he cried. wen 20 back and
tell everybody. But-but 1 hope father
hasn't heard want to tell him and
mother first myself"
On the train they discussed the nlans
for the future. and finally decided TO
say nothing of their marriage, or re-
ply to any questions in Providence, in
order TO give Tip a chance to go 20
Washington and break the news to his
father.

section Of Providence.

OF the wide fireplace, his hands thrust
deep into his pockets. while his wife
sat cIrIed up on a leather sofa nearby.

Had to Go
On the Milk Special.

The trio hurried jubiIantIy to the
station. upon hearing this news. but
found there was no train until the
milk special" Undismayed even by
this. young Knox and his sweetheart
huddled close together upon an empty
truck completely forgetful Of the cold
discomfort. They didn't see the dreary
stretch OF tracks, but only the stars
overhead. and forgot the wind in their
happy dreams of the future
At length the train tangled into the
station and the young folks. tired but
happy, climbed aboard. As the dawn
peeped in through the dusty windows.
/ Tip kissed the girl beside MIN and
whispered, This IS our wedding day,
dear"
1t was Sunday when they got to Burl-
ington. A sunny spring-like day, with
the air filled with Sabbath calm.
People on their way TO early church
looked with some surprise at the three
young people, dust begrimed with
travel But they did not scent the
romance, or realize that the pretty girl
in fawn color with the hat laden with
scarlet poppies was at that moment be
/ ing searched for in Providence, while
the lad beside her was causing con-
siderable anxiety to the head master al
Morris Heights Preparatory School.
Only one more little delay kept the
ceremony back. It had been arranged
for justice OF the peace TO perform
the ceremony. but the bride wanted il
done by a clergyman.
Il wanted the church service" she
said. Il felt somehow as If it was toe
solemn an occasion for just legal
phrases. Then, too. it was Sunday, and
felt as II the whole world was at peace

Then going over TO his wife's side he
laid his hand for A fleeting moment on
her shoulder and said softly:
Gee, but I'm glad it did happen.
aren't you?" and the scarcely breathed
answer gave him the assurance he
looked for.
II don't believe" said the young wife,
turning with a laugh to catch up
the bulldog which forms the third in
the menage, that any two people in the
world were ever as happy as We are I
know everybody says that. but I'm sure
and you are too. aren't you Tip?'
Sure" he said. why. I'd stake my
life on that"
His eyes were full Of alteration as ne
looked at his wife. and no one could
doubt the Eenuineness Of his love and
his faith in their future
Mrs. Knox is small, considerably
shorter than her husband in fact, al
though the latter is much below medium
height Her fair hair is parted and
waved simply hack from her youthful
face, and is bound about usually with a
broad black velvet ribbon that accen-
tuates its blOndness. Her eyes are
hazel and with her fair skin and warm
color. she ranks as one of the prettiest
girls I'm Providence On the night on
which they told for the first time the
full story Of their elopement, she wore
q soft white shirt waist, with frilis Of
lace down the front, and tan skirt,
and no ornaments of any kind except
her wedding ring. whose glitter seemed
TO hold her eyes each time she moved
her hand.

HOPES FOR FORGIVENESS.

H a ND now" said Tip cheeTfUlly,
IL here we are as happy as two
people could possibly be, and I know
deep down in my heart that father Will
forgive Us in time"
4 don't see how he could have done
anything any different, after ALL" said
the young wife frankly 'Tt was sud
den, and Tip wasn't through school or
anything, but when he inds out what
a big success Tip is going to ne he'll
be glad"
The rooms where the young couple
are now living have been occupied by
the girl for some time. Her father
died when she was a little girl and her
mother married again. and is now Mrs.
Daniel Gary. The young girl spent much
time In Hartford. Conn. When she be-
came eighteen she was allowed, she
says, to take the rooms which she now
occupies. It's walls are hung with ban
ners of the Morris Heights school,
while pictures Of Tip are hung about
the walls
The soft rugs which cover the floors.
the deep leather sofa and chairs and
many other new articles are said to De
additions which young Knox gave his
bride as wedding presents. Both deny
the rumors that Tip furnished the
apartments entirely. They deny, too,
that the bride ever worked in store
at Providence.
The apartment is now the rendezvous
for all Of young Knox's school friends
and his rapidly enlarging circle Of busi-
ness acquaintance, for the old theory
that all the world loves lover, IS being
exemplifed by the New Englanders, who
are all doing their best to aid the young
chap in his plucky fight to earn living
for his wife.
