nous detail of the wedding that made
it so perfect, there was simplicity
and dignity about the charming house
that made the arrangements appear
quite permanent and customary. The
most fascinating feature of the deco
rations was. of course. the chapel ad-
joining the drawing room. built upon
the lawn, and which later, as though
by some magic twist of the wrist. was
transformed into courtly dining hall,
where myriad electric lights, spark
ling like giant dewdrops upon the
green of much southern smilax, ac-
centuated the beauty of vine-Wreathed
trellises that framed the verdure of
the misty garden beyond, where high
trees. rolling lawns and dimly shaded
coppices in many bosky dell watched
the night come on and saw the stars
beam their happy prophesy upon the
occasion.

ish grace Of movement suggesting
some slim marsh flower shaken by
the breeze in spring. She wore
gown of deeper rose-tinted tulle, the
bodice and full skirt having an ar
tistic touch of crystal bands. Her
flowers were the same luscious Kill
larney roses as those carried by the
maids.
Three tiny flower girls. like small
bridal dolls in their fluffy frocks of
white illusion caught by bright blue
ribbons, were the cousins Of the bride,
the sunny-haired children of Mr.. and
Mrs Albert Krippendorf, Misses kar

Krippendorf. Mr.. and Mrs. Karl Krip-
pendorfs lovely child. whose dark
curls were a charming contrast to her
little cousins, and who took the place
of the brides baby sister, little Miss
Elise, who was indisposed at the last
moment.
The bride herself. who is the elder
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Hugo Leo
Kupferschmid. was never more bonnie,
blithe or graceful. Her gown of heavy
white satin veiled in pillows of bridal
tulle, caught here and there with en-
broideries of pearls, seemed to accent
uate her alluring daintiness, as though
her floating veil, held by its wreath of
orange blossoms, had enmeshed some
thing Of the summer and the sun that
seemed to crown her interesting face
with a sweet control that is part of her
elusive and enchanting charm. Her
bouquet was fragrant great affair of
lilies of the valley and green ferns.

there will be much that is new, and
much that 10 old: there will be the ira

years. when one pictured the bride in a
dainty boudoir. or at some picturesque
summer resort, where modish gowns

added. 81 said all l could, all l was

His imprisoned earnestness bewildered
Hayden Norcross, who had not dreamed
of danger. With the superb egotism of
his years and station he believed it i'm
possible that disaster could befall when
he was on board. The tumult of wind
and sea was terrifying; but what gen.
timely frightened him was the glimpse of
some mystery, sinister and tragic, that
had been purposely withheld from his

knowledge. The Captain and the crew
gave him the impression that the ship
had been foredoomed.
A WOMAN waited patiently in long,
long aisle of desks at which spruce
clerks were busted with bills of lading,
manifests, and accounts. Through the
nearest window she saw the crowded
waterfront of Liverpool and the jostling
traffic of the Mersey. She was waiting
in the hope of brief interview with Sir
James Babb Norcross. Handsome she
was even when anxiety had made her
haggard.
Sir James had many other matters far
more important to occupy this valuable
morning. His secretary explained this to
the woman; but her persistence was I'M
shaken.
At length the great man was informed
that the wife of one of his shipmasters
could not be got rid of. She was very
quiet and decent about it. Perhaps
word or two would satisfy her. Sym
pathy for femininity in distress throbbed
beneath the expansive white waistcoat of
Sir James Babb Norcross. Caressing his
neat gray whiskers, he blandly told the
secretary:
"You may admit her. I can spare five
minutes. Her husband commands one of
my vessels? All, what name?"
"The Chiffon Grange, she says, sir.
The steamer left New York ten days
ago."
Sir James pursed his lips, and some
thing like a scowl Swallowed his massive
features. The annoyance was momen-
tary, however, and his mellow geniality
reasserted itself as he said:
"The Chiffon Grange? Let me see.

That would be Captain Nelson Sackett.
A capable master but inclined to borrow
trouble"
He remained seated as the woman en-
tered, hesitant, abashed, her cheek brightly
flushed. 1t was an immensely audacious
enterprise for her to thrust herself upon
the notice of Sir James Babb Norcross.
In her hand was letter, folded and
concealed, which she did not expect
to disclose; but it gave her courage,
and was the reason she had waited so
patiently.
The shipowner graciously indicated a
chair; but she preferred to stand. The
sight Of him somehow braced her resolu-

ical repulsion. She wished him to keep
his distance.
IL came to ask if the Chiffon Grange
had been reported since she sailed from
New York, the woman explained. "They
told me in the other room that she had
not been spoken"
(which was quite correct, Mrs. Sack

there is not the slightest ground for alarm.
Our smaller ships, of the Chiffon Grange
class, are not yet equipped with wireless.

papers on his desk, and demanded:

The skipper withstood the
provocation to say more. 1t

the son understand that the
Sir James Babb Norcross he
knew was not the man his
shipmasters cursed behind
his back.
But in the Captains silent
scrutiny Hayden Norcross
detected something like pity.

within it an old stove and soon had
its chilliness in a measure minimiZed.
Then with his charge half comfort

where the wrecked wagon was. From
it he secured a package of food and
some robes. These he carried to the
