UNFAIR TO GOOD MEN.

From the Watertown CN. Y)
 Standard.
 The state at large will have sym pathy for the splendid staff of the executive chamber in it's position be tween two fires. Governor Sulzer demands that the force remain and Acting Governor Glynn drafts the members for work. If they quit MT. Sulzer and he is not impeached they will lose their jobs. If they- fail to answer the acting governors call other men will be put in tn air places. The whole proposition is unfair. These men were organized and trained by Governor Hughes No governor in the state has had so a staff. Each man is SD that no governor would ask his politics. Every one is doing his duty faithfully and loyally. It is shame to place such a force in danger of losing their positions.

looking back at me in a curious way, he
said Il don't think should bore you
my dear. In fact, / should be rather
proud of having a good looking woman
for my wife, and l fancy 1 could give
you a good time. In any case"-this
with a certain condescension-"m
name might be of some use to you"
A sort of shame was creeping over
me, The dog was yawning in my face.
My intended husband threw it off his
knee.
Shall we consider it a settled thing,
them" he asked and when in my con-
fusion | still made no reply (having
nothing which 1 felt myself entitled to
say), he said something about my Aunt
Bridget and what she had told him at
luncheon about my silence and shyness,
| and then, rising to his feet, he put my
arm around his own and turned our
faces toward home.
That was all. AS I am a truthful
woman, that was everything. Not a
word from me-nay, not half a word
merely a passive act of silent acqui-
escence, and in my youthful and almost
criminal innocence l was committed to
the most monotonous incident of my
life.
But there was no love- making, no
fondling, no kissing, no courtship Of
any kind, and none of the delirious rap
ture which used to be described in AL
mas novels. 1 was really grateful for
that, and immensely relieved to find
that matters could be completed with
out them.
When we reached the house the bell
was ringing for tea, and my father was
coming out of the library, followed by
the three lawyers.
$50 that's all right, gentlemen" he
was saying.
yes, that's all right, sir" they were
answering; and then, seeing us as we
entered, my father said to Lord Raa:
And what about you two?"
Were all right also" said his lord
ship in his drawing voice.
We've had a stiff tussle in the Ii
brary this afternoon but everything Is
settled satisfactory-and the marriage
is as good as made"
| lions for me and a few for his lord
ship, and then my father said again,
"Of course, therell be deeds to draw
up, and | want things done correct,
even if it costs me a bit of money. But
we've only one thing more to fix up
today, and then were through-the
wedding. When is it to come Off"
An appeal was made to me, but ]
felt it was only formal, so I glanced
| across to Lord Raa without speaking
| Come now" said my father looking
/ from one to the other THE clean cut
is the short cut you know, and when
I'm sot on doing thing, I can't take
rest till it's done. What do you say to
| this day next month";"
bowed and my intended husband in
his languid way, said:
| Agreed"

mony, and the other declared that we
were there and then so joined.
l remember that l repeated the words
automatically, as the high bailiff in his
thick. alcoholic voice read them out of
the smaller of his books, and that Lord
Raa, in tones of obvious impatience,
did the same.
Then the high bailiff opened the big
ger of his books, and after writing
something in it himself he asked Lord
Raa to sign his name, and this being
done, he asked me also.
Am 1 to sign, too?" asked vacantly.
Well who else do you think?" said
Mr.. Curphy with a laugh. Betsy Beau

sharply, and then 1 signed.
had no longer any will of my own.
In this as in everything, I did whatever
was asked Of me-
1t was all as dreary and lifeless as an
empty house. I can remember that
made no sensible impression upon my
heart. My father gave some money to
the high bailiff. who then tore a piece of
perforated blue paper out of the bigger
Of his books and offered 1t to me, say
ing: This belongs to you"
ITO me?" I said
who else?" asked Mr. Curphy, who
was laughing again, and then some
| thing was said by somebody about
marriage lines and no one knowing
when wise woman might want to use
them.
The civil ceremony OF my marriage
was now over, and Lord Raa, who had
been very restless, rose to his feet, say
ing "Beastly early drive. Anything in
the house to steady ones nerves, high
bailiff?"
The high bailiff made some reply, at
which the men laughed, all except my
father. Then they left me and went
into another room, the dining room, and
l heard the jingling of glasses and the
drinking of healths, while 1 sat before
the fire with my foot on the fender and
my marriage lines in my hand.

THE WEDDING

TIME little church was thronged
with people. Even the galleries
were full of children from the
village school. There was a twittering
overhead like that of young birds in a
tree, and as l walked up the nave on
my fathers arm l could not help but
hear over the sound of the organ the
whispered words of the people in the
pews on either side of us.
Dear heart alive, the straight like
her mother she is, bless her!"
Goodness, yes, it's the poor misfor-
tunate mother come to life again"
"'Deed, but the daughters in luck,
though"
Lord Raa was waiting for me by the
rail of the communion. He looked yet
more nervous than in the morning, and,
though he was trying to bear himself
with his usual composure, there was
Cor l thought there was) a certain ex-
preston of fear in his face which had
never seen before.
His friend and witness, Mr.. Eastcliff,
with a carnation in his button hole, was
by his side, and his aunt, Lady Margar-
ct, carrying a shaef of beautiful white
flowers. was standing near.
My own witnesses and bridesmaids,
Betsy Beauty and Massey Macleod, in
large hats, with soaring black feathers,
were behind me.
l could hear the rustic of their rose
colored skirts and the indistinct buzz of
their whispered converse ton as well as
the more audible reproofs of my Aunt
Bridget, who, in a crinkling black silk
dress and a bonnet like a half moon,
was telling them to be silent and to
look placid.
The Ceremony.
At the next moment 1 was conscious
that a bell had beeu rung in the chancel:
that the organ had stopped; that the
coughing and hemming in the church had
ceased; that somebody was saying stand

THE BARGAINING NOT
TO HER LIKING

n the end of a fortnight we signed
n the marriage settlement. The lit
tie ceremony took place in the
drawing room of my fathers house. My
intended husband, who had not been to
see me in the meantime, brought with
him Gas well as his trustee and lawyer)
lady and a gentleman.
The lady was his maiden aunt, Lady

and ennui.
Then the deeds were opened and
spread out on a table, and though the
gentlemen seemed to be trying not to
discuss the contents aloud l could not
help hearing some of the arrangements
that had been made for the payment of
my intended husbands debts, and GER
tain details of his annual allowance.
Looking back upon that ugly hour,
wonder why, under the circumstances
l should have been so wounded, but
remember that a sense of discomfort
amounting to shame came upon me at
sight of the sorry bargaining.
1t seemed to have so little to do with
the spiritual union of souls, which had
been taught to think marriage should
be. But 1 had no time to think more
about that before my father, who had
signed the documents himself in his
large, heavy hand, was saying, Now,

all my objections to marriage had gone,
and | wished to tell my father so, but
an opportunity did not arise until late
the same night, and then it was he who
was the first to speak.
Being in good spirits, after a dinner

II WAS sitting in my own room, writ
ing TO the reverend mother to tell
her of my return home, when |
heard the toot of a horn, and raising
my eyes, saw motor car coming up
the path. 1t contained three gentlemen,
one Of whom wore goggles and carried a

ingly, with a sense of coming trouble.
Reaching the door of the drawing room,
l saw my intended husband for the first
time-there being nothing in his APP
pearance to awaken in me the memory
Of ever having seen him before.
He was on the hearth rug in front of
the fire, talking to Betsy Beauty, who
was laughing immoderately To get a
better look at him and at the same time
to compose myself, l stopped for mo-

He was undoubtedly well dressed and
had certain air Of breeding. but even
to my sirlish eyes he betrayed at that
first sight the character OF a man who
had lived an irregular, perhaps dissi-
pated life.
His face was pale, almost puffy, his
gray eyes were slow and heavy, his
mustache was dark and small. his hair
was thin over his forehead and he had
general appearance of being much
older than his years, which l knew to
be 33.
