Daysey Mayme
andHer Folks
By FRANCES Z. GARsrpE.

" HE man who said, Poets are
born, not made" was ignorart
of the possibilities of webster-s
Unabridged Dictionary. Anyone with
a little ink and collection Of such
words as heart, dart, part; love, dove:
bliss, kiss; sad, lad; burst, cursed.
etc, has only to use his brain and he
the rhymes of Tennyson, Longfellow.
Keats and the Sweet Singer of Michi-
gan seem as full Of life as a smoked
herring in comparison.
With a collection OF such wordA
Daysey Mayme Appleton felt that she
had the ingredients that would put a
laurel leaf on her brow, and bring a
certain laggard in love on his 7zneaa
to her feet. She would write him a
valentine poem. She would begin kn
heroic measure with his arrival at the
city's gates.
A search through the dictionary and
much sweating of her brow resulted
in the following:
When my lover. with eyes 90 dark
and brown,
Comes gayly dancing into town
She read it over and over again and
decided it was good. (All poets are
addicted to this habit)
Fifteen minutes later while DELHI
Grating between putting him on -
| prancing Steed, which rhymes SO me
| lodiously with speed and heed and
plead, or giving him the front seat
in an automobile, a word that has
driven countless poets off the head,
she remembered in q panic that her
lovers eyes were not brown. but banAl
She began again:
when I gaze in your eyes, % deep
and blue
Like limpid pools Of tender dow
She wasn't quite sure 1fHmpad was
the word she wanted; 1t sounded 90
much like limpet 1t might make trou-
BILE. She would leave out his eyes;
after all, all men had them and she
never saw d pair like those in the
books, anyway. She would begin with
his lips.
In all poems the honey bee sips the
| Inns. but somehow, applied to g. man.
! 1t seemed a little effeminate; no man
would like the suggestion that he
went around with a. swarm of bees
at his mouth 1t wasn't sanitary and
denoted shiftlessness. Her favor1te
hero in the books had a mouth that
was mobile, and she didn't know ex-
actly what the word meant, anyway,
and couldn't rhyme 1t with eel or reel
or peel.
| Discouraged, she went from his lips
to his heart, and after many struggles
with comparisons with q. sugar tart,
which vas not dignified; and sugges-
| tons that they part which would
never do; and efforts to pierce with
| Cupid's dart; or use art, OF wounded
hart, or cart, or perhaps mart, all
failed to give the dash and swing 10
her song that she had hoped for.
| It was with a sigh that she closed
her dictionary and cast her efforts
into the waste paper basket. Love"
she sighed, lis so strenuous! 1t must
have been much easier to catch them
in the days of the Cave Woman"

rH1RTY-F1RsT CHAPTER.

II HAVE only an indefinite memory
of floating vaguely through the
sights and sounds of the next two
hours; of everybody except mlself
being wildly excited; of my cousins
calling repeatedly from unseen re-
gions of the house; of Aunt Bridget
scolding indiscriminately; of the
dressmakers chattering without
ceasing as they fitted on my we'd
ding dress; of their standing off from
me at intervals with cries of delight
at the success of their efforts; of the
wind roaring in the chimney; of the
church bells ringing in the distance;
of the ever-increasing moaning of
the sea about ST. Mary's Rock; and
finally of the rumbling of the rubber
wheels OF several carriages and the
plash of horses hoofs on the gravel
of the drive.
When the dressmakerS We're done

dress, embroidered in silver, with a

remember they said my black hair
shone with a blue luster against the
sparkling gem, and / dare say 1
looked gay on the outside anyway.
At last l heard a fiuttering of silk
outside my room, and a running
stream of chatter going down the
stairs. followed by the banging of
carriage doors, and then my fathers
deep voice, saying:
Bride reauy! Good! Time to go,
l guess
He alone had made no effort to
dress himself up, for he was still
wearing his very-day serge and his
usual heavy boots There was not
even a flower in his button-hole.
We did not speak very much on
our way to church, but l found a
certain comfort in his big warm pres

rising storm was beginning to fright
en- me.

father Just a puff of wind and a
slant of rain ma-be"
The little church was thronged with
people. Even the galleries were full
of the children from the village
school. There was a twittering over
head like that of young birds in a
tree, and as I 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."

fortunate mother come to life again"

Lord Raa was waiting for me by
the communion rail. He looked yet
more nervous than in the morning.

himself with his usual composure.

who else?" said Mr. Curphy, who
was laughing again, and then some
thing was said by somebody about
when a wise woman might not 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, saying:
"Beastly early drive. Anything in
the house to steady ones nerves,
High Bailiff?"
The High Bailiff made some re-
ply. at which the men laughed, all
except my father. Then they left me
and went into another room. the din

glasses and the drinking of healths
while / sat before the fire with my
foot on the fender and my marriage
lines in my hand.
MY brain was still numbed. l felt
as one might feel if drowned in the
sea and descending, without quite
| losing consciousness, to the depths of
its abyss
l remember l thought that what l

had just gone through differed in no
respect from the signing of my mar
riage settlement, except that in the
one case l had given my husband
rights over my money, my fathers
money, whereas in this case l seemed
to have given him rights over my
self.
Otherwise 1t was all so cold, so
drear so dead, so unaffecting
The blue paper had slipped out of
my hand on to the worn hearth rug
when my helpless meditations were
interrupted by the drumming and
throbbing of the motor car outside,
and by my father who was at the
office door, saying in his loud. COM
Half an hour afterwards l was in
my own rooms at home, and given
over to the dressmakers. l was still

ture without strength or will.

tonhole, was by his side and his aunt
Lady Margaret, carrying a sheaf of
beautiful white flowers, was standing
near.
My own witnesses and bridesmaids
Betsy Beauty and Messy Mcleod, in
large hats, with soaring black
feathers, were behind me. I could
hear the rustic of their rose olored
skirts and the indistinct buzz of their
whispered conversation, as we'll as
the more audible reproofs of Aunt
Bridget, who in a crinkly black silk
dress and a bonnet like half moon,
was telling them to be silent and to
look placid.
AT the next moment l was con-
scious that a bell had been rung in
the chancel that the organ had
stopped; THAI the coughing and hem
ming in the church had ceased; that
somebody was saying, Stand here,
my lord;" that Lord Raa, with a ner-
vous laugh, was asking, "Here?" and
taking a place by my side; that the
lighted altar. laden with flowers, was
in front of me, and that the bishop in
his vestments, Father Dan in his sur
plice and white stole, and clerk car
rying a book and vessel of holy
water were beginning the service
Surely never was there a sadder
ceremony. Never did any girl under
similar circumstances feel more
vivid presentiment of the pains and
penalties that follow on a forced and
ill-assorted marriage. And yet there
came to me in the course of the serv-
ice such a startling change of thought
as wiped out for a while all my sad
ness, made me forget the compulsion
that had been put upon me. and lifted
me into a realm of spiritual ecstasy.
The bishop began a short litany,
which asked Gods blessing on the
ceremony which was to join together
two of His children in the bonds of
holy wedlock. While that was going
on l was conscious of nothing except
the bowling of the wind about the
church windows and the far-off toll
ing of the bell on ST. Mary's Rock
nothing but this and a voice within
me which seemed to say again and

The Ceremony.

With the air of man with a griev
ance the High Bailiff took a big book
out of the desk. and a smaller one off
a shelf, and then we sat in a half
circle, and the ceremony began.
1t was verv brief and cold like a
matter of business. AS far as l can
remember 1t consisted of two declara-
lions which Lord Raa and l made first
TO the witnesses present and after
ward to each other. One of them
stated that we knew OF no lawful i'm
pediment why we should not be join
ed together in matrimony, and the
other declared that We were there and
then so joined.
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 obvi-
Gus impotence. did the same.
Then the High Bailiff opened the

My mind was far from clear and
had a sense of seeing things by
flashes only. but l remember that
thought Lord Raa was very nervous,
and 1t even occurred to me that
early as il was he had been drink

"Beastly nuisance, isn't it?" he said
to me aside. and then there was some
thing about this legal fuss and fud-
clement "
