tain above the valley was blotted out
with fog. The brown house seemed
dark and empty when the last guests
had loitered away and the last caterer
had gathered up his possessions and
had gone.
The doctor had changed his un-
wonted wedding inery for his shabby
old smoking jacket, but Peter still
looked unnaturally well dressed. ALL
stepped down to sit between them and
her fathers arm went about her. She
snuggled against him in an unusual
mood of tenderness and quiet.
"Be nice to mel" she said, wbim-
sically. I'm lonelyr"
"H'ml" her father said, significant
ly, tightening his arm. Peter moved
up on the other side and locked his
W arm in her free one. And so
they sat, silent, depressed, their shout
ders touching, their somber eyes liked
upon the shadowy depths of the forest
into which an October fog was softly
and noiselessly creeping.

that he was not happy about Cherry's
plans, if the younger girl did not. With
Alix only he talked Of the engage
ment, and she knew from his COM
ments, his doubtful manner, that he
felt it to be a mistake. The ten years
difference between Cherry and Martin
distressed him; he spoke of it again
and again.
Cherry was changed, too, and not
only in the expected and natural ways,
Alix thought. Her daily letter from
Martin, her new prospects, not only
increased her Importance in the other
girls eyes, but %innocently inflated her
Used to keep the engagement "or I'M
derstanding, or preference" a pro-
found secret, but this was impossible.
First one intimate friend and then an
other was allowed to gasp and ex-
claim over the news. The time came
when Anne decided that it was not
decent" not to let Martins aunt know
of 1t, when all these other people
knew. Finally came a dinner to the
Norths', when Cherry's health vas
drunk, and then the engagement pres
ents began to come in.
Her father only looked ~tenderly in
to the blue eyes and frightened his
big arm protectingly about the slender
young shoulders. But he was deeply
depressed. There was nothing to be
said against Young Lloyd. 1t was only
unused the doctor, aghast-on1y
what was being done in the world
every day. But he was staggered by
the bright readiness with which all
Of them-Cherry, Martin, the other
girls-accepted the stupendous fact
that Cherry was to be married.
She was quite frankly and delight

it with sudden spectacular brighten

At twelve o'clock Charity Strick-
land became Charity Lloyd and was
kissed and toasted and congratulated
until her lovely little face was burn
ing with color and her blue eyes were
bewildered with fatigue. At two
o'clock there were goOd-bys. Cherry
had changed the wedding satin for the
c~ream-colored rajah silk then and wore
the ~extravagant hat. 1t would be
many years before she would spend
twenty-five dollars Tor a hat again, and
never again would she see bronzed
cocks feathers against bron1ed straw
without remembering the clean little
wood-smelling bedroom and the hour In
which she had pinned her wedding hat
over her fair hair, and had gone, de-
mure and radiant and confident, to
meet her husband in the old hallway.
She was confusedly kissed, passed

q sort Of strange aching at her heart
that she was not only far from saying

81 got my cards yesterday" she
said n day. 81 was passing the shOI
and | thought I might as well! The
woman looked at me so queerly; she
said: Mrs. John Martin Lloyd. Are
these for your mother?' NO. I said
They're for mel' l wish you could
have seer her look. MARTIN says in
today's letter that he thinks people
will say I'm his daughter, and Alix-
he says that you are to come up to
visit is, and we're going to find you
a fine husband! Won't it be funny to
think of your visiting me- oh, and
Anne-did you see what Mrs. Fairfax
sent me? A great big glorious fur
coatl She said | would need it up
there, and / guess l will! It's not
new, you know; she says it isn't the
real present, but it al be cut down
and it will look like new"
And so on and on. The other girls
listened, sympathized and rejoiced, but
it was not always easy.
August brought Martin. He was
delighted with his work in the Ell Nido
mine, the Emmy Younger" and every
thing he had to say about it was
amusing and interesting. 1t was still
in a rather chaotic condition, he re-
ported, but the stuff was there, and
he anticipated a busy winter. He
was to have a cottage, a pretty crude
affair, in a few weeks, right at the
mine.
How does that listen to your" he
asked Cherry. She gave her father a
demure and interrogative glance.
Martin, following it, Immediately sob
cred.
"Just what is your position there?"
the doctor asked, pleasantly.
"a little bit of everything, now"
Martin answered, readily and respect
fully. Later, of course, l shall have
my own special work. At present I'm
doing some of the ~assaying and have
charge of the sluice-gang. They want
me to make myself generally useful,
make suggestions, take hold in every
wayl"
That's the way to get on" the old

looked admiringly, with all her heart

would We let 1t go on, eh?' the
doctor asked, somewhat embarrassed
n evening when he and Peter were
walking from the train in the late
September twilight.
Lord, don't ask me-" Peter said,
grufHy. 81 think she's too young to
marry anyone-but the mischief's
done nowl"
81 think I'll talk to her." her father
decided. Anything is better than
she'll listen to mel' And a day or
two later he called her into the study.
1t was a quiet autumn morning, foggy
yet warm, with a dewy, woody sweet
ness in the air.
Before we decide this thing final
ly," the doctor said, smiling into her
bright face, before Martin writes his
people that it's settled, l want to ask
you to do something. It's something
you won't like to do, my little girl.
I want We to wait a while-wait a
year."
1t was said. He watched the bright
ness fade from her glowing face. She
lowered her eyes. The line of her
mouth grew firm.
Wait until you're twenty, dear.
That's young enough. l only ask you
to take a little time-to be sure, dear"
Silence. She shrugged family,
blinked the downcast eyes as if tears
stung them.
Cant take your old fathers word
for it?' DR.. Strickland asked.
'It isn't that, Dad!' she protested
eagerly and af~fectionately. "Tll wait
4 have waitedl I'll wait until
Christmas, or April, if you say so!
But it won't make any difference;
nothing will. l love him and he loves
me, and we always will.
"You don't know" Cherry went on,
with suddenly watering eyes, you
don't know what this summer of sepa-
ration has meant to us both If we
must wait longer, why, we will, of
course, but it will mean that | am
just living along somehow-oh, l won't

wet lashes. "Ill try to bear it de-
Gently But sometimes I feel as if
| couldn't bear it"
A rush of tears choked her. She
CROPPED for a handkerchief and felt,
as she had felt so many times, her
fathers handkerchief pressed into her
hand. The doctor sighed. There was
nothing more to be said.
SO he gave Cherry a wedding check
that made her dance with joy, and
there was no more seriousness. There
were gowns, dinners, theater parties
and presents; every day brought its
surprise and new delight to Cher
ry. She had her cream-colored rajah
silk, but her sister and cousin per-
suaded her to be married in white, and
it was their hands that dressed the
bride when the great day came,
and fastened over her corn-colored
hair her mothers lace veil.
1t was a day Of soft sweetness, not
too brightly summary, but warm and
still under the trees. Until ten o'clock

day afternoon, lightning struck in a
setting of four large wheat stacks on
the Geo. Warnke farm on Upper
Lost Creek and they were all burned
to the ground.
The Warnke's were in Circle at
the time so that not even an attempt
