! Aunt Bridget in her gold trimmed

out the tea from our best silver tea
| pot, while Messy Macleod, with a
! geranium in her red hair, and Betsy
Beauty. with large red roses in her
bosom. handed round the cups After
q moment, my father with a radiant
face standing back to the fire, said
in a loud voice:
Friends all l have something to
! tell you
Everybody except myself looked up
and listened, though everybody knew
what was coming
We've had a stiff tussle in the
library this afternoon, but everything
Is settled satisfactory-an the mar
riage is as good as made"
The Date Fixed.
There was a chorus Of congratula-
tons for me and a few for his lord
ship. and then my father said again:
"Of course there1l be deeds to draw
up, and | want things done correct,
even If 1t costs me a bit of money
But we've only one thing more to
fix up to-day, and then were through
the wedding When is 1t to come
OFF,"
An appeal was made to me, but

across to Lord Raa without speaking
Come now" said my father, look
ing from one to the other. THE clean
cut is the short cut. you know, and
what do you say to this day next
month";"
] bowed and my intended husband,
in his languid way, said:
Agreed"
A few minutes afterward the
motor was ordered round and the
gentlemen prepared to go. Then the
silver haired terrier was missed, and
for the first time that day his lord
ship betrayed vivid interest. telling
us it's price and pedigree and how
much he would give rather than lose
II. But at the last moment Tommy
appeared with the dog in his arms
and dropped it into the car, whereup-
on my intended husband thanked him
effusively
yes" said Tommy. II thought you
set store by that. sir
At the next moment the car was
gone.
We'll, you are a lucky girl said
Betsy Beauty and Aunt Bridget be-
gan to take credit to herself for all
| that had come to pass, and to indi-
| cate the methods by which she meant
| to manage Castle Raa as soon as ever

Thus in my youth, my helplessness,
| my ignorance. and my inexperience l
| became engaged to the man who had
! been found and courted for me. If |
acquiesced had certainly not been

| suited me. My intended husband had
not consulted me. Nobody consulted
me. I am not even sure that | thought
anybody was under obligation to con-

sex was still asleep in me. and my
marriage was arranged before my

other moments when | felt quite
sure that, in marrying Lord Raa,
should be doing a self sacrificing
thing and a kind of solemn duty.
One such moment was when Mr.
Curphy. my fathers advocate, who
with his clammy hands always made
me think of an over fatted fish, came
to tell him that, after serious legal
difficulties, the civil documents had
been agreed to. for. after he had fin
lshed with my father, he drew me
aside and said, as he smoothed his
long brown beard,
You ought To be a happy girl,
Mary. ! suppose you know what you
are doing for your father? You are
wiping out the greatest disappoint-
ment of his life, and rectifying the
Cruelty--the inevitable cruelty -o OF

Settlement Signed.
Another such moment was when
the Bishop came, in his grand car
riage. to say that after much dis
cussion he had persuaded his lord
ship to sign the necessary declara-
ton that all the children of our union,
Irrespective of sex, should be brought
up as 1dlnOlItS, LOT TAXING me ASIDE,
as the advocate had done the day
before. he said, in his suave voice,
lingering his jewelled cross:
81 congratulate you, my child. Yours
is a great and precious privilege
the privilege of bringing back to the
Church family which has been es-
tranged from it for nineteen years"
At the end of a fortnight we
signed the marriage settlement. The
little 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 (as well as his
trustee and lawyer) lady and a gem
tleman.

COLUMBIA BOYS IN
MEDITERRANEAN
JAMES WOOTEN AND BENTLEY
HENDLEY ON BATTLESHiP
MAINE.

OF peculiar interest to the people
of Columbia will be the news that
perhaps two boys from this city are
in the midst Of the naval operations
of the European war James Wooten
and Bentley Hendley are on the war
ship Maine of the United States,
which the dispatches of Monday stat
ed had been detailed to remain at
Gibraltar in order to guard American
shipping and other interests in the
Mediterranean. They have just been
to Rome and other points in Italy
and were making their way home on
the Maine, when the battleship re-
ceived orders to remain in Mediter-
ranean waters and await further or
ders.
Some are inclined to the opinion
that this is mistake, on the ground
that ship Of cadets from the Naval
Academy at Annapolis would not be
detailed on such an important mis-
sion. The fact remains though, If
the dispatches be true, that they
sailed from Naples on the Maine, and
that the latter has received orders to
guard American interests in the Med
1t is hardly thought
that they will receive any injury, as
the United States is neutral nation.
However, their relatives here would
much prefer that they be on Ameri.
can soil and under sheltering influ.
ence of the American eagle.

there wasn't blow after them to do
any damage. In addition BIZ struck
out thirteen Of them. They were
helpless before his twirling. Their
chances of scoring were about in the
same ratio that a snow bali has of

Marshall was backed Up by first

made by the locals, muff Of an easy
fly by Lazenbye in left field. It hurt
nothing, as the man was left Oh first.
