CHAPTER vi.
Marriage.

They were married in the parson-
age Of the Hamilton Presbyterian
Church by the Rev. LeoniGas Vale.
and the quiet, low-ceilinged room. with
it's olf.fashioned furniture, was a ro-
mantle setting for the lovers. Con
rad had telephoned from the inn, and
Mrs. Vale, a sentimental little woman
with faded hair, had hastily picked
some late Autumn flowers for the oc-
casion. They stood around in stiffiy
arranged bouquets, giving the room
an unwontedly festive look, and Jean
had smiled shyly when Mrs. Vale had
welcomed her, saying with pathetic
eagerness:
II always say wedding isn't a we'd
ding without flowers"
EVERYTHING was still dreamlike.
Surely this couldn't really be happen
ing TO her, Her heart was beating
madly against her breast as she and
Conrad took their places before the
minister. Mrs. Vale and the old sexton
acted as witnesses, and as the simple
ceremony began, and the old minister
read the rich sonorous phrases. it
seemed to Jean as if she were hearing
them for the first time in their real
significance.

was giving herself to Conrad. Strange
that she could have known him so
short a time and still be so sure.
1t was singular that in the sweet
solemnity of that moment reality
flashed across Jeans mind for the
first time. She was pledging herself
to Conrad, and it suddenly occurred
TO her that from now on her life would

be changed, different. Where would
they live, and how? What were Con-
RAIDS plans for a career? He was still
in college; would he finish out the
year? Strange, these practical things
had not occurred to either of them.
They had thought of nothing but their
love.
Jeans thoughts flashed to Conrad s
family. What would they be like?
Would she like them and they her?
Would they approve of this mad mar
riage and the fact that Conrad had
tied himself down before the end of
his college term?
The minister's voice droning out the
last words of the marriage service
broke in on her thoughts, and once
more reality was blurred in the ro-
nance of the moment. She turned
slightly and looked up at Conrad. She
saw the proud set of his head on his
shoulders, the firm line of his jaw, and
her pulses stirred. What matter if
| they loved each other? Everything
else would adjust itself. She had faith

MODERN|STS' GRIP
ON STUDENTS HIT
Fundamentals Association
Plans to Resist New Trend
in Colleges.

By the Associated Press.
TORONTO May IA resolution
carried at yesterdays session of the
convention of the World Christian
Fundamentalist Association declared
that the social life of the age is clad
in the purple of lasciviousness, stepped
in senSuality and stamped all over
with the mark of the beast.
The resolution, read by Gerald d.
Ninrod of Kansas, called on the
churches to come out from among
the unGodlv and break with all un-
holy alliances which rob the church
of her power and soul-saVing ell
ticiency."
The problem of preventing college
students from absorbing too much
modernism" was taken up by Or.
". b. Riley of Minneapolis, a proml-
nent leader in the fight for funda-
mentalism. He suggested that the
association, where it could not get
into the colleges for debates with
modernist professors, might buy lot
and erect small tabernacleS.

address by DR.. A. II. Carter of Mid

situation in the colleges as "appall-

She sighed deeply, but the time for
tears was past. She had given her
word, and her father had been strange
ly insistent that the wedding should
take place without further delay. Nor
could she plead honestly that she did
not know her own mind. She was %
years of age, and it had been settled
ever since she was a child that she
was the predestined mistress of In
verlOchtie Castle. True, the accepted
scheme was that she should marry her
childhood's sweetheart, but he had
gone away after having done some
thing so dreadful that his name was
never mentioned by any one, not even
by his own father. And that was
nearly seven years ago. Never a word
had come to her again from the gal
liant young Highland gentleman who
was ever in her thoughts, while
within few days judge of the
high court would make legally effec-
tive an opinion already expressed, that
Lord Obans son was dead and that
his cousin, Alistair, must succeed to
all his rights and privileges. 1t was
hard on Eileen Grant that the success
sion should include her as a bride.
But her father was adamant on that
point. His estate marched with that
of Interlochtie for 20 miles or more,
yet both were impoverished the one

other. An eccentric will made by
