arDor with his good friends Oscar
and Adoree Du Val Beatrice had
ridden safely away with the gov
ernor's son.. Most of the guests had
gone, though the bishop wal still
there, quietly resting after his days
work.
1T was SO beautiful" sighed Mrs
Du Val sentimentslly. Never have
l seen a wedding 20 so smoothly
and well Really 1t was like a play"
Oscar Du Val lifted his glass and
watched the fading light change
and deepen the color Of his wine.
MY only regret was that Doris
and Rocky weren't here"
"Ah yes" said their host. ut was
too bad. She seemed a very nice
girl, but | hardly saw her when she
was here. She is In bad health, poor
girl, isn't shef"
Mrs. Du Val leaned her fat ell
bows on the table and looked mean
ingful at st. Gardens. "Yes-she is
that is true abe has not been
we'll" Her cooling voice reJoiced and
mourned alternately. 1T is q sick
ness we do not mind seeing a young
bride having-n'est ce PAST"
St Gardens lifted an eyebrow. u
did not know. Congratulations"
Mrs. Du Val beamed happily.
Come, Oscar. 1t is now we drink
the health of your grandson that is
coming"
As the three lifted their glasses
to drink, a strange young man
bounced through the gate. His blond
hair IA wild, and his gray suit
needed pressing, but his blue eyes
were dancing with excitement.
Mrs. Du Vail This is Mrs. Du Val,
isn't it7"
The good lady rose, her eyes wild
ening with alarm. Something has
happened to Rocky Tell me I
can bear It."
Nothing. He's getting married.
And he wants you to come quick I"
st. Gardens rose. Oscar Du Val
ran his hands excitedly through his
white hair. "But no."
1T Is not possible"
HE is married to Doris"
"Oh that's all right. He divorced
Doris today. He's marrying Diane
Merrell. Get it"
Mrs. Du Val gave a low scream
Oscar Du Val caught her in his
arms. Divorced Doris |" she
moaned. why did | ever give birth
to such a boy7"
"We will soon stop this" said
Oscar Du Val.
"Yes-yes. Perhaps 1t Is not too
late. Oh, that poor little Doris !"
St. Gardens followed the Du Walls
into the house.
Meantime the bishop was being
reused from his quiet meditations.
Two insane people we're pounding
on his door. Rocky and his friend
Mike. Charley had got a marriage
license which was now In Rocky's
pocket, and there was a very impor-
tant wedding to be performed down
stairs. they told the good man. His
Mercy me-" his "Oh my goodness
his "This is not quite In order"
e as disregarded as If they had
never been said. But when he saw
the two that he was to marry he
had nothing to say; a holy
man, 1t vas his business to say,
Whom God hath Joined together, y
so he knew from their faces that II
was all right. He made no more
inquiries. He prepared to do his
duty.
But before he could begin Rocky's
parents came In, followed by St
Gardens. Mrs. Du Val was so re.
lieved to see Doris that she burst
into tears.
"They told me you were divorced
but now | see 1t was only a crueI
joke"
mo, 1t wasn't a joke. Rocky and
! are getting married. And we want
you to-we want Mr., Du Val to
give me away"
There was no time for many more
explanations then. The Du Walls
watched their son being married In
a kind of stony amazement. Wher
it was all over, then 1t was time fol
Doris and Rocky TO start out fol
Morristown. She had talked to heI
family on long distance, and prom
ised that Rocky would bring her Il
them right after the ceremony.
Doris had given herself up to tht
police, but she had been released
and George Mortimer was being
held. SO well had she been guarded
by the three reporters that not /,
hint Of what had happened disturbed
the wedding.
Rocky and Doris got into theil
car.
! Not half the story had been ex
planned to their parents, but al
Rocky said, 1t would take far to,
long to go into 1t all, and as Oscai
Du Val eve read the newspaper
he would not even know who Diane
Merrell a Charley would explain
