he met her for the first time since
his return from Maine.
He was passing the Cafe Turc.
having called at a little shop near
by to get some colors. She came
out Of the cafe alone. walking with
her head down. and In a great
hurry.
He had to speak her name twice
before she looked I'D. Then a bril-
liant. excited smile flashed across
her face. There was an unnatural
look about her. She was shabby
and made up, as usual: only her
careless. happy-go-lucky air had
gone. Her whole being seemed 10
be concentrated on something.
How do you find Chummy look
ing?' She inquired. My. but she's
making A positive hit!'
No place and time. this. for
Alan's purpose. and vet he was des-
perate. We walked beside her.
Where are you goL-g?"

Well. III walk with you. II I

Bless you. I've no time to walk
farther than the square. I'm going

Then Ill come as far as the

harsh doegedness that was the re-

Judy laughed. and the pansy eyes
took on a steely glitter.
We are solemn she exclaimed
II know" Steyne said. Judy.
I'm awfully worried and upset. You
must listen to me-if only as your
friend.
II know what you mean You
do not approve Of my dancing. You

1T has nothing to do with your
dancing" he protested. His Jared
nerves made him abrupt. and her
fatigue made her as touchy as a
cat in a thunder storm. II only
want TO warn you"
Il was an ill-chosen word. She
did not look at him. walking with
her head high, her lose pointing
h~eavenward.

Gather closer. boys and girls. and
let's get going:
The day of tho wedding dawned
bright and exquisite, bathed in the
warm June sunshine. The scene Of
the ceremany. st. Luke's church
was decorated extensively on the
exterior with frs and evergreens
while ON the interior the beauty Of
the many flowers was OVershadOwed
only BY the pleasing fragrance arts
ing from the many roses. All up
and down the center aisle at each
pew was placed an enormous ported
lily. A gorgeous plant. Everything
was ready. All plans completed.
Every small detail which might tend
to make this wedding the crowning
social event Of the season had been
attended to.
The bride, a beautiful creature. a
tall willowy blonde. was the prize
debutante OF the year. She was
respected and admired tor her inno-
cence and sweetness by all who
knew her. Her sterling qualities
Of purity and character was the
pride OF the four hundred.
The groom, a handsome. athletic
young chap who had been captain
Of the Yale football team for three
years left nothing TO be desired as
a possible husband for such a
charming person.
The hour OF the wedding ap-
preached. the church was filled with
the cream OF society, the women III

in their cutaway coats. striped
trousers, wing collars and bow ties
filled the enormous vestry.
The groom, straight and erect.

the air Of Here comes the bride"
family floated down from the choir
loft the bride gracefully came down
the aisle on the arm Of her father.
Her progress could be marked By
the signs OF admiration from the
men and the gaSps OF envy from the
women. As she reached the third
pew from the front one OF the ported
lilies that had been placed out fur

accident which even TOW causes
Shudders TO run through the four

sweet girl stumbled over the plant
and but for the vigilance Of her
father would have fallen. A gasp
went up from the spectators. the
organist in surprise ceased playing,
q deathly hush fell over the church,
and this sweet girl turned to her
father and with two big tears roll
ing down her cheek uttered, Who
put that blamed ported llv in the
middle o. the aisle?"

The Once Over
GOOD NEWS FOR RAILROAD TOURISTS
Copyright 1880 by The Associated Newspapers


An Eastern railroad has put on sleeping cars with
regular bedrooms thus making it possible for tray
elers to lie awake in a natural position. The rooms
have two beds running water and all the features OF q
boudoIr at home except for an all-night radio con-
cert.
The manufacture Of sleeping cars in which passeng-
ers are not expected to sleep in layers marks a great
forward step in American railroading. 1t shows that
the railroad magnates have at last decided to give the
public a break.
The overnight trip by railroad has always been a
form OF compulsory discomfort designed TO turn the
passenger loose after a 20o-mile overnight trip feeling
as racked and battered as if he had Just completed q
transcontinental flight on a picket fence.
To 90 to bed in a lower berth has always offered
obstacles enough, but trying to call II a day in an up
per has put a passenger under the obligation OF show
ing professional training as a circus acrobat, q flag
pole sitter, a wire walker and a hand-organ monk
II required agility, patience and a sense Of philoso-
ply that could consider a bureau drawer an ideal
place for a dusk TO dawn flight. A man might get
into an upper berth with a ladder and q couple Of
friendly boosts but the big problem was what TO do
after the ascent
The upper berth was, is and always shall be the
answer to a rubber mans prayer.
Any person who could be comfortable in an upper
berth could enjoy night life on a pantry shelf
Compared with the upper berth the old-iashioned
eight-inch circus seat was an upholstered luxury from
the Louis XIV period.
Now that a great American railroad has decided 70

a hanger and being able to turn over in the night
without rolling on the watch and breaking the crystal

ice-water tanks.
