caught the sense of her words as
he passed. and wondered.
He felt her weight grow heavy
on his arm as they descended the
steps of the church to the motor
car, waiting with open door.
Someone closed the car door and
they were off.

He sat back appalled,! She did

But you don't understand"
he protested.

Nothing can change things.
Only, let me be quiet till we get
to the house, or l never can 60
through with the erst of it,"
Her words ended with sob,
and he sat silent for an instant,
with mingling of emotions, up
permost of which was a desire to
take the little, white, shrinking
girl into his arms and comfort
her.
She seemed to understand that
he was about to speak again. Her
voice held a child-like pleading
as she uttered one word:
DON'T"
II hurt him like a knife, he
knew not why. But he could not
resist the appeal. Duty or no
duty, he could not destroy her
command.
VERY we'll" He said 1t quiet
ly, almost tenderly. After all,
what explanation could he give
her? He might not even breathe
word of his commission or the
message.
He tried to set his thoughts in
order and find out just what to
do. First of all, OF course, came
his commission, but somehow
every time the little white bride
opposite took first place in his
mind. AS for himself, there was
no consideration of his own inter-
ests. Whatever there was ol
good in him must go now to set
matters right for the girl who had
so strangely crossed his pathway,
and get back to his commission.
He gradually sifted his immedi-
ate actions down to two necessi-
ties; to get his companion to her
friends and to make his escape as
soon as possible.
The car halted suddenly before
a brightly lighted mansion. There
was no opportunity here to disap-
pear. The sidewalk and road
were black with curious onlook-
ers. He stepped from the car and
helped the lady out.
In the doorway she was sur

were forgotten.
The man Jefferson had pro-
duced a ring and was nudging
him. He dimly remembered
somewhere hearing that the best
man must hand the ring to the
bridegroom at the proper mo-
ment, but 1t seemed absurd for
them to go through the farce Of
doing that when the bridegroom
already held the golden circlet in
his fingers!
But that Jefferson-man still
held out the ring stupidity to him.
Silly youth.
He took the ring and held 1t
out, but the young man did not
take it again. Instead he whis-
pered, Put it on her finger!"
Gordon frowned. Could 1t be
the silly custom now, to have the
best man put the brides ring on?
A little timid hand, slender and
white, came near as If to help,
and the ring finger separated it.
self from the others. So, rever-
emily, he slipped 1t on, with a
strange, inexpressible longing to
touch the little hand. Then a
strange thing happened. There
had been some murmurs and mo-
tions he had not noticed because
he thought his part was about

the minister and the young man
by his side both began fumhling
for his hand. They managed TO
bring 1t in position and place in
its astonished grasp the little
timid hand that he had just
crowned with its ring.
AS his fingers closed over the
brides hand, his senses came
back to him. 1t was they who
were being married!
There had been some terrible
mistake. The thing had passed
from an adventure into a matter
of two life-tragedies. What
should he do?

bled something about being very
glad to have her. The bride sat
with one hand clasped In her
mothers, and said not n word.
There was little opportunity for
thinking, but Gordon made a has
ty plan. He decided to get his
party all out To the train and then
remember his suitcase. which he
had left checked In the station.
Then he could get away In the

a dishonorable way to leave these

discovered that he was not the

Mistrsl labored seven years more and
produced Calendar In 1866. He loved u
best OF all his poems. but compared with
"Mireio" IL lacked spontancity. In the
interval he published many shorter poems
which were combined in 1875 under the

to be accused OF trying to create discord
between the north and south OF France
Meanwhile the Felibrige and It's re-
clamatory campaign had great effect
through all OF southern France. Floral
games were founded. patriotic enthusiasm
ran high and the name or Mistral was
linked with that OF Petrarch when the
