The Missing
Brides
By CHARLES MALCOLM

At last Bedding Hall was to be oc-
cupied. Once more it was to become
the abode Of men and women. instead
Of home for owls and bats.
For 80 years its gloomy chambers
had been closed, and the light of the
sun excluded from its halls. Grass
had grown over the walks, and weeds
and bushes hedged the building in on
every side; while the trees spread their
sheltering arms above its upper
stories, shielding the chimneys, cor
nices and roof from the blasts Of win

fallen from their hinges, and the doors

to bring his blushing bride to the home
which had been bequeathed to him by
his uncle. Maxwell Bedding.
The house had been In the possession
Of the family for over hundred years,
having been built by Roberts great
grandfather. Maxwell Bedding had in

thirty years before our story opens the
friends of the family had assembled at
the hall to celebrate his marriage to
Grace Anterior, the belle of the
county.
But Fate had decreed that he should
not partake of the cup of welded
bliss; for, at the last moment, when
all were breathlessly awaiting the en-
trance Of the bride and bridegroom, a
commotion was heard among the
bridesmaids, and soon it was whisper
ed from lip to lip that Grace had dis
appeared.
She had left the chamber above a
few minutes before for the purpose of
going to the library or study, where
hung Grandma Belongs portrait,
taken when she was first married,
seventy years before. Grandma had
been noted for her many virtues and
