up and rewarded hls excursion into ro-

following week Mary went about with
mysterious and melancholy mien
varied by occasional flashes Of high
spirits and gdyety-and her parents
watching her, put their heads together

the hour of Mary's elopement arrived; :;
she was at the drug store ON line
ana there was Henry waiting her. He
assisted her into an expensive tour
ing car, at the wheel of which sat
llVeried driver, and away they went
winding through the city streets and
AZ last bowling along the pleasant
country roads. At first Mary was all
animation and filled with delight in
her adventure; but as the city was
left behind she began to grow thought
ful, and at last said: "Henry-do you
suppose we are doing right?"
Why not;" answered Henry. at

yes" admitted Mary. Il know it
was; but, come TO think it over, per

Nonsense said Henry. Il have or

cured the parson by telephone-you
wouldn't disarrange everything now

tell him to turn around and go back
Oh, | am wicked, wicked girl-and
silly one, too. Henry Wardman, take
me home
But, in spite of her commands. in
spite of her pleadings and in spite OF
her tears. Henry sternly insisted upon
going on with the elopement. When
they finally reached the inn at Mel
chester Mary was very red-eyed from
Weeping and very rebellious and unro-
mantle as to temperament. She had
not spoken to Henry for the last five
miles, and when she had addressed
him 1t had been to state emphatically
that, as soon as they reached Melches-
ter, she would telephone her father
that she had been abducted by vii
lain. But as she ascended the steps
