FORGOT THE PAST.
BY JOHN EcCLES.

Copyright. 1914. by W. G. Chapman.)
At first John Charlton had eaten
out his heart in loneliness; then, as
the weeks slipped into months, he
grew reconciled to his fate. He could
never hope to return to England. He
had been accused of forging his fathers
name to check.
His elder brother, the heir to the
estate, was the culprit. His brothers
wife had come to John and pleaded,
with tears in her eyes, that he assume
the guilt. Everybody would suspect
him. she said frankly, because of his
recklessness and improvidence. There
was a girl-Amy Marin; she had looked
favorably on the young man, and he
had been wildly in love with her. But
then John Charlton was never able
to resist a woman's pleading. And
his sister-in-law had taken him at a
weak moment.
The upshot was that John went into
exile. He had pleaded with Amy to
share his lot, and she had laughed
first; then, when he told her that he
was accused Of forgery, her pretty
brows contracted and she had indig-
nantly dismissed him.
So John had settled down to farm
ing in Jamaica, with the small sum his
father gave him. John often fancied
the old baronet understood, but, if he
did, he gave no sign. He shook hands
with John; and so they parted in
silence.
That was four years ago, and at first
Johns heart had overlooked with
anguish. Time and again he had been
tempted to write to Amy. explaining
matters to her. But he refrained. And
at last he ceased to think Of the past,
except in the desolate hours Of mid.
night.
Then Haidee came into his life

ston aristocracy. that he was omitted
from invitations to the governors balls
and dinners. But he did not care. John
was a good manager, and Haidee loved
him.
So, four years after Johns arrival,
they became engaged. The marriage
was to take place in a months time.
Then it was that something hap
pened.
John Charlton received an invitation
to the ball at the government house.
He stared ihcredulously at the en-
graved invitation note, for it was the
same governor who had always cold.
shouldered him. However, he went.
Perhaps it was because he wanted
Haidee to take her, rightful place in
Jamaica society; perhaps 1t was mere
ly his longing to look upon the faces
Of his own kind again. John went,
and when he entered the ballroom and
saw the men Of his rank, and the
women in evening dress, his heart
leaped In his breast. Haidee suddenly
seemed like somebody very distant
and remote from him.
And the governor shook him by the
hand. Afterward John danced. He
danced with English girls, with the
bloom Of the moist English summer
still on their cheeks. And then the
governors secretary drew him aside.
Charlton" he said-John knew the
man ofiicially-"there will be some
more guests later in the evening. A
party has Just arrived by the late Eng.
lish steamer. l want you to stay and
meet them. The governor wants it."
John assented. His thoughts were
back in his own country, and in his
heart he saw the busy streets of Lon
don, the Row, where he had ridden in
boyhood, the placid countryside and
smooth lawns of his fathers home.
"The fact is. continued the secre-
tary. Il don't know If you have heard

John listened. apparently unmoved.
for his mind was still playing that
curious trick. and he was living over
the past with his father again. He re-
membered the old mans affection for
him when he was a little boy. how they

Contrasts Preceding Affair

1t was in contrast, nevertheless, to
the wedding of last November. There
were no uniformed diplomats, no
members of the Senate or House or
the supreme court. This was the wish
of the bride and groom, carried out
to the letter, and except for an after
noon of gaiety among the young folks
with the busy anticipation that always
precedes a wedding, the day and eve
ming moved by quietly and quickly.
The ceremony started at 6 o'clock and
lasted but Is minutes. The reception
was brief The wedding supper was
followed by a brief dance and at s
o'clock the bride and groom had left,
all the wedding guests had departed,
and the White House resumed its nor
NAL appearance.
All day long there had been busy
preparations, but official Washington
and the society of the national capital
had no part in the affair. Most of the
guests were intimate friends of the
family from other cities.
McAdoo Gives Luncheon
Secretary McAdoo gave a luncheon
! to his colleagues in the cabinet at
! U. S. N, his best man; Secretary Tu-
| multy and Vice President Marshall. 1t
was a jovial company, speechmaking
and witty toasts, especially from Mr..
| Marshall, keeping the group in con-
| tinuous laughter. The President and
| Mrs. Wilson motored with their three
daughters. During the early evening
small crowds peered through the
| fences and iron gates, but saw only
| the procession of carriages and auto
mobiles as they brought the guests or
| took them away.
Scene of Great Beauty
! The White House was a scene of
beauty indoors and out The sunset of
a spring evening, tinting a cloudless
| sky, the sparkling fountains and new
| green foliage, the rose bushes in bios
som and the Italian gardens gave the
wedding guests a picture of rare beau
ty as they entered. Within all was
splendor-palms, lilies, ferns, roses,
the soft light of the Blue room, the
relocated Marine Band; the historic
portraits of Presidents of the United
States and the luxurious furnishings
| of the parlors the state dining room
! and main corridor-this was the set
ting when the wedding hour arrived.
The guests, relatives and close
| friends of the two families were
grouped in a semi-circle. There was
hush as the clergyman entered slow
ly from the main corridor and ascend
ed the little altar with it's predieu COW
cred with white satin in the south
] bay window of the Blue room. The
Marine Band struck up the wedding
march. Miss Sallie McAdoo, 10-year-
| old daughter of the secretary, led the
| procession as flower girl, followed
! by Mrs. Francis Bowes Sayre, sister
of the bride and matron of honor, and
/ Miss Margaret Wilson, eldest daugh-
| ter Of the President, maid of honor.
| Miss Nancy Lane, IL years old, anoth-
er flower girl, daughter of Secretary
Lane of the interior department, di-
rectly preceded the bride, who was
| escoted by the President.

| affairs, introduced a resolution authorfz-
ing the President to increase the regu-
lar army above the present statutory
limitation of 10000 men ''in time of war
or when war is imminent" The resolu-
ton also recited that "at the present
time there exists a condition which may
at any moment require the fullest and
most effective use of the regular army
of the United States
Senator Chamberlain stated that the
bill was not the result of any confer
ence with the President or the secretary
of war
Troops Stationed on Canal
A significant evidence of military
preparedness came from Col. Goethals,
governor of the Panama canal zone,
who reported to the war department
that attachments of troops had been
stationed at main points along the ca
nal to protect the locks against pos
sible disturbance during the Mexican
troubles. 1t was pointed out today
that there seemed TO be mistaken
idea in some quarters that the media
ton proceedings were in the nature OF
an international conference to be FOL
lowed by the signing of a protocol
whereas the efforts of the mediators
will be advisory and not arbitratory.
There is no disposition, it was said,
to regard the advance of the Consti-
tutionalist forces as an imminent dan
ger, the mediators being inclined to be-
lieve that they have ample time to
make definite progress with their me-
diation proceedings before any devel-
opments could interfere with their eff
forts.
Northern Mexico improved
Reports during the day showed that
conditions in northern Mexico had so
improved that Americans who had fled
from the mining districts in Sonora
felt justified in venturing mack to re-
open the mines. A delegation of rep
resentatives OF American oil interests
at Tampico, called at the navy depart
ment today and told Secretary Dan
iels that the United States ought TO
police Mexico and permit the resump-
ton of oil operations in the Mexican
fields. Later they saw the President.
