"Oh, yes" The young man paused
in his dilemma and looked for an in
slant at the sweet face of the girl be-
side him. But he could not let his
friend see that he did not know the
name of his wife-to-be, and with quick
thought he answered, "Mary!"
The ceremony proceeded, and the
minister's voice sounded out solmenly
In the empty church: do you, Tryon,

The young mans fingers held the

loves him.
When the solemn words were
spoken that bound them together
through life, and they had thanked
their kind friends and were once more
out in the carriage, Tryon said:
DO you know you haven't told me
your real name yet?"
She laughed happily as the carriage
started on its way. and answered,
"Why, 1t is Mary!"
AS the carriage rounded the first cor:

room, and the fine lady who had left
the building in company with a gentle
man, until 1t was settled by the eleva-

to be one and the same.
A moment later a man in citizens
clothing, who had keen eyes, and who
was riding a motorcycle, rounded the
corner and puffed placidly along near
the two. He appeared to be looking

Her eyes shone brightly and her
cheeks grew rosy red as she lifted out
from Its tissue paper wrappings a
long. rich coat of Alaska seal. with
exquisite brocade lining. She put 1t
on and stood moment looking at
herself in the glass. She felt like one
who had for time lost her identity,
and has suddenly had it restored. Such
garments had been ordinary comforts
OF her former life. She had not been
warm enough In the coarse black
coat
The other box contained a beautiful
hat OF fur to match the coat 1t was

ful black plume, and In shape and gen.

She smiled happily as she set it upon
her head. and then laughed outright as
she remembered her shabby silk
gloves. Never mind She could take
them Off when she reached the
church.
She packed the little black dress
into the suitcase. folded the felt hat on
the top with a tender pat, and, putting
on her gloves, hurried down to the one
who waited for her.
The matron had gone upstairs to
the linen closet and left the girl with
the discontented upper lip in charge
in the Office. The latter watched the
elegant lady in the rich furs come
down the hall from the elevator. and
wondered who she was and why she
had been upstairs. Probably to visit
some poor protegee, she thought. The
girl caught the lovellght in the eyes
Of Tryon Durham as he rose to meet
his bride, and she recognized him as
the same man who had been In close
converse with the cheaply dressed girl
In the parlor an hour before, and
sneered as she wondered what the fine
lady in furs would think If she knew
about the other girl Then they went
out to the carriage. past the baggy.
rubbered man. who shrank back sud-
denly behind stone column and
watched them.
As Durham shut the door, he looked
back just in time to see a slight man,

touch the baggy man on the shoulder.
The latter pointed toward their car
riage.
"See!" said Durham. T believe
those are the men who were lowering

The girl kaned forward to look. and

Of horror as the carriage started.

look of determination settled into his

out again. "Do you suppose he has
