CHAPTER ".

The old platitude about the un-
expected always happening proved
true I'm the case of my wedding,
had always had the picture OF my
self after the VERY, VERY SOL
EMN ceremony, being taken in
Dicks arms in kind of fearful
tableau after that picture AT last
we are alone"
1t was nothing of the kind. In
the first place. my wedding was
not solemn. Because of my early
morning ride with Dick I slept late
and had to DRESS IN AN AWFUL
HURRY. 1 took one look at my
self after 1 was ready and I never
looked so ugly in my life, but I
hurried to the church and found
Dick waiting.
Gracious, Madge," said he, that
organist has played %. Promise
Me- so many times that l am ready
to yell at him TN promise you

Then he rushed round to the
vestry door with his brother (who
was his best mani to meet me at
the altar.
The wedding march started, the
ushcrs and bridesmaids swung In
to step when 1 noticed thnt Angie
Maywood's dress was not buttOned
up entirely in the back! Nothing
could be done, hut all thought of
anything else slipped out of my
mind.

fingers trembled and he WAS as

1 only heard distinctly one SEN
tence of the whole service: with
all my worldly goods thee en-
dow" and then my mind trailed off
into speculation AS TO WHETHER
DICK HAD ANY GOODS.
n He had told me he got fine
salary, but that was all I knew
about 1t. He had been so busy
making love to me for the last
eight weeks that he had no time
to tell me anything else.

my arm and held me moment
while he adjusted his step to mine.
