Unlike, however, all proceeding romances
and near romances, this one was ushered
in with no blare of trumpets or sound Of
drums. Mr.. Wilmerding in his quest had
apparently chanced tactics.
The bride, a very charming, pretty girl,
simply gave her age as twenty-five and
her address as Fourth avenue, New York
After the ceremony the couple went to
Lake Mahopac for their honeymoon.

gathered that the charming vision had
been unable to get a stateroom and was be-
wailing that she would have to sleep on
deck during the voyage. She looked up and
caught Cuthbert's eyes There was a note
of appeal in hers that he could not resist.
Something whispered to him 'alas-there
is the girl" and memory of all others fed
Mr.. Wilmerding made post haste out to
where the maiden in distress was standing.

the fogs of mystery.
Certainly the romance was blighted, for
not long after George W. Horton. Jr..
clothier of Yonkers, began suit against his
very charming wife
Young Mr.. Wilmerding's name was men,
toned during the course of the case and
friends, when the divorce was granted
freely predicted that the two would wed.
Alas. not so. A great change came over
both Mr.. Wilperding and Mrs. Horton. so
far as their attitude to each other was con-
cerned. She went on the stage under her
maiden name of Florence Bell and Mr..
Wilmerding went back to his beloved
France.
Living along and pursuing. no doubt. his
ideal, his dreams were suddenly shattered
by the marching of Frances legions out of
Paris and the onrush of the German bordes
through Belgium. Mr.. Wilmerding decided

American refugees pour down to The dock.
Rapidly the boat filed. Cots were spread
over all the decks to accommodate those
who could not get staterooms. Young Mr..
Wilmerding, looking with interest on these
preparations, reflected upon how lucky he
was to be fixed with a berth inside for the
trip across.
Suddenly his eyes fastened upon a vision
OF beauty. 1t was beauty in distress. Lean.

But. alas, the romance

away and at last died in
even quicker time. If

highlights Of life are
scarce and sparsely scat

easiest way and abhors

the time. In the peaceful
meadows of matrimony
young Mr.. Wilmerding
perhaps found a lack OF

self-sacrifice on the decks

And so, less than a year
after their impetuous mat

He sat down.
Silence spread over the erstwhile gay
throng, and soon Mr. Wilmerding excused
himself and hurried away.
Quickly the Meurers crossed the Chan
mel to London and there they promptly
sailed for home. leaving Mr. WilmerdinS
in solitary grief in Paris to chew the bitter
bread Of experience and derive what
nourishment he could therefrom. The
first lesson he learned was that in pursuit
of a wife it is always well to ask the girl
first II she is willing.
A year snd a half late It was that
quietly and with none OF the embarras-
ments Of his first encounter with Cupid
the engagement Of Mr.. Wilmerding to Miss
Lavelle was announced.
Miss LaVelle's people were Americans,
who made their home in the city on the
Seine, but who we're visiting New York
From vagrant reports It is gathered that
the wooing was a swift one. Mr.. Wilmerd-

Miss Meurer liked Cuthbert Mortimer,
too, but as at twenty-five he didn't look

But to Mr.. Wilmerding all the

Meurer was the
heart of it. How
could he inform a

Times without

he tried the OBJ

something inside

of him interfered.
At last on Thanksgiving Day the
Meurers gave a dinner at Ciro's
in Paris. There were quite a
number of nice people there and
among them Mr.. Wilmerding.
1t came to Cuthbert suddenly
that here was opportunity. the
time, the place and the girl, but
how could he. resolve them into
possession? He sat, pale and
distracted, as course after
course went by.
81 am sure Cuthbert is not
well, said Mrs. Meurer to her
husband. "Or else he is getting
lonely again. He looks Just like
he did when we met him."
And at this moment Mr.. VIII

then stood gasping. But he did
not gasp any more than did the
thunderstruck parents Of Miss
