For June Brdes-EIints on Ceremony and Attire
by Marian Hale.

June and her wedding day. No other
day IL invested with quite the signifi-
cance OF that day
Neither does any other day or cere-
mony yield the multitude of petty prob

Wedding forms have remained prac-
tically the same for years. II there has
been any change it is a trend, Of late,
toward the less formal.
The order OF procession Is that used
from the very beginning:
The ushers lead. two and two. The
bridesmaids follow and then the maid
or matron of honor.
If there are children in the party
they should follow the maid of honor
and be Immediately followed by the
bride and her father or the person by
whom she is given away.
II the clergyman and bridegroom,
with his best man. can approach the
altar from another way than that used
by the bride and effect will be better.
IL this Is not practical they may walk
down the aisle a moment or two ahead
Of the ushers
In grouping about the altar during
the ceremony the party should be quite
evenly balanced.
The white ribbons which form the
bridal aisle are dropped when the bride
reaches the altar.
For an outdoor wedding the form II

While he thought, and he thought
rapidly, his eyes followed every act
Of this second balcony scene; he saw
Belknap stop beneath it, and heard
his voice speaking, although ne could
not distinguish the words. He saw
the woman bend across the rail, and
put the fingers of one hand to her
lips, while with the other n she
extended and dropped-precisely as
Katherine had done, Bingham thought
something white, which, no doubt,
was also a message. He saw, rather
than heard, the man speak again; but
the woman-who could she be? he
wondered-shook her head in a de-
cided negative, turned abruptly away,
and disappeared into the darkened
room behind her.
Again he heard Belknap's voice and
the utterances as well-although it
was spoken in a very low and guard
ed tone.
"Berta! Bertal" he called twice;
but the window remained closed; and
after another moment of waiting the
man of such mysterious actions re-
treated slowly to the shadow of the
same tree that had sheltered him
before.
Harvard, still watching in utter 81
lence and as motionless as a statue
in stone, saw the flash of a pocket
electric and then a faint glow, as il
Belknap was endeavOring to concea
the light while he read his messages
by it.

TND HERE 1T CONTINUES.

That highland after-seemed to
be replete with surprises for every
body.
Belknap's wolfish smile still lin
gereE upon his face, and he was IN
the act of turning away, unaware
that a grim, silent implacable mar OF
superhuman strength awaited him
amid the deeper shadows when, slb-
ilent and sharp upon the night air,
he heard the call:
&C. B.! Cee-e Be-e!" the call
sounded, the en%unciation of it being
no more than a whisper, although the
sibilance of the utterance gave 1t a
penetrating force that carried it over
to the ears of Harvard, where he
stood, twenty or thirty yards away,
waiting. .
The sound of it startled him and
relieved the tension of his attitude.
His instant thought was that Kath-
crime had returned to the balcony,
but one swift upward glance assured
him differently, and at the same time
he saw Belknap start and turn and
glance upward at another window.
Now, Harvard had no notion Of the
location of Senorita C~ervantez's
room. That was a household detail
to which he paid no attention-the
rooming of his guests-and in the
darkness he had not the least idea Of
the identity of the second individual
to appear that night in another bal
cOny scene.
Belknap, with one hasty glance a
Katherine's window, went swiftly to
ward the person who had summons
him, and Harvard, profoundly mysti
fied-and possibly more than eve
angered because such happening
should be undertaken at inquest
was torn by a thousand conflictin
emotions.

The Lady OF the Night Wind
LHIs STARTS THE STORY.

A weekend house party is be-
ing held at the home of Rather
inc ard Bingham Harvard.
Among the guests are Clancy,
Archer, Demming, Sears, and one
Conrad Belknap. Katherine dis
covers Belknap cheating at a
game of cards. She demands
that he leave her house immed-
ately. He scornfully refuses to
DO so. Katherine is about to tell
her husband of the occurrence,
but hesitates owing to a peculiar
influence which Belknap seems to
exert over her. Convinced of his
deception, however, and suspi-
coius of his actions, she is all the
more determined to ferret out
his real identity. Katherine has
formerly had an experience as
a police headquarters detective
under the name of Lady Kate Of
the Police. She 1ntercepts a tel
ephone call Of Belknap's and dis
covers the name and address Of a
woman confederate whom he
calls Berta. She learns that
Belknap has set afoot some
scheme. Realizing that he is sus-
pected by Katherine, Belknap
threatens to expose the fact That
Katherine's brother, Roderick
Maxwilton, who is believed by
his parents to be dead, faces a
term in prison. Bingham Har-
ward. who once bore the alias
"The Night Wind" becomes
suspicious of Belknap and Kath-
crimes attitude toward him..
Katherine's parents arrive at her
home. Senorita Cervantez, a
pianist, also arrives. She appar-
emily is unable to speak, and
writes her words on a pad OF
paper. 1t is revealed that she is
Berta, or Roberta, the confeder-
etc of Belknap. Belknap is mys-
titled at her pretense OF beng
dumb.

aWhat happened to you?"

WAdb HoppC1kSO W 4Vu
Belknap had done some thinking
also while so ~precariousg making
his way back to the house; and SC,
while he washed away the marks of
his adventure, he told his story
which Harvard naturally accepted as
literal truth, and was proportionately
sympathetic. He told it in jerks, as
follows:
STANDING under a tree, smoking
fellows, chaps, footpads, something
of the sort came up behind me
didn't hear a sound-they jumped me
and had me-down-before I knew it
two of them; maybe three-tied
me up as you found me-went
through me, tOo-took everything
watch-money-stickp-- By Jove!"
He came to a sudden pause.
"Whats the matter?" Harvrd
asked.
"H-ml Just remembered that / had
a letter; important one, too I must
have dropped it. I say, old chap,
wait here, will you, while I go back
and look for it? I-er-couldn't af-
ford to lose that; and they wouldn't
have taken it."
He was gone before Bing could re-
ply, but the latter called after him:
"I1i go to bed, Belknap. You're
all right now. See you in the morn
ing. Goodnight"
CONTINUED next week.

ets.) Then he united the other one,
releasing Belknap's hands-and re-
tanned possession of that one, also, so
that it might not appear that he had
kept only one OF them.
He seized Belknap by the arm and
led him swiftly forward up the steps
into the house, and up the stairs to
Belknap's own quarters, saying
sharply as he did so:
Don't talk now. Something has
happened to you, and we must do
nothing to startle the people in the
house. Wait"
The man was a sorry looking one,
indeed, under the glare of light in his
own lavatory, whittier Bing piloted
him; his face was scratched and
bleeding in several places from con-
tact with the thorns or rose bushes;
his nose was plastered with loan
where it had plowed into the flower
bed; one of his trouser legs was bad
ly torn at the knee; his collar had
been ripped open and his tie was
twisted around so that the knot was
under of his ears; several of the
buttons had been torn from his white
vest, which was terribly bedraggled
and soifed.
"You look as if you had been
through a threshing machine, Bel
KNAPP" Harvard remarked, secretly
enjoying the evidences of his own
handiwork and its consequences.

blindfolded and with his hands tied
behind his back though he was.
Although the time was short until
Belknap staggered gropingly into
view, Harvard was able to review the
several details that had happened
during the last ten days to disturb
and annoy him.
He recalled again the scene at the
summer house when Belknap had
supposed to have received a message
I summoning him to the city; Rather
ines avoidance and dislike of the man
which Harvard believed that he saw
or felt plainly; Tom Clancy's con-
fessed repugnance of him and the i'll
concealed covert wiatchfulness with
which Tom regarded him; the short
scene at the rose bower-nothing at
all of itself, yet which might have a
distinct meaning in it's relation to
other incidents-when the burning
!, cigaret was tossed from it, when
y, Katherine stepped out from it and
turned in the path to speak gain to
, the man inside it5and her >all-toO-
evident perturbation at the time; her
. very plain repression of something
! that she wanted to confide to her hus-
band that night and which she re-
Trained from doing; her midnight,
: and therefore secret, talk over the
! telephone that same night.
The atmosphere of restraint and
~portending disaster that seemed to
pervade the whole place since the
coming of Belknap, the anonymous
letter, and last, more disturbing and
2 confounding than all the other Incl
dents put together, the utterly
: amazing and astounding Incidents
that he had just witnessed.
- Throughout all of it not one

her conduct or to condemn it, save
3 only in so far as the apparent fact
- that she had not deemed it best tc

tain that she must be following ths
dictates of her own best Judgment.
1t was not until he saw-and hearC
