I drove everything else from ReT
mind. Dear Tony Darling Tony!
How white and serious he had
looked that afternoon. His bands
were like ice as he had pleaded with
/ her. but his face was burning.
Its asking a lot" he said, but
afterward III make it up to you"
1t was asking a lot, Treasure ad-
/ mitted, settling herself in the Pull
man where everything was fasci-
natingly strange. But it would be
worth it. She realized what she was
doing and she knew Eer own mind.
There will never be any one else
with me-" she vowed simply as she
+ closed her eyes.
Sleep was impossible but she lay
in semi-doze without completely
/ losing consciousness. Where was
Tony now? Driving through the
darkness of mountain roads SO that
he might meet her? He had start
ed Immediately after leaving her.
Funny to be married in Reno
where most persons went to be di-
vorced! Nicer if they could have
done it in San Francisco in a
church.
But Tony had said the applica-
ton for a license had to be pub
lshed for three days before you
could be married in California. She
wouldn't have known that. She
knew so little of the many things
that Tony knew. But although he
had travelled around the world and
she had never been away from San
Francisco, she was the only girl he
had ever loved.
She remembered the night he
had first said he loved her. The
sight Of the lighted ships crossing
the fog-sWept bay, the love songs
from some one else's radio, and An
thongs strong, sweet, face bending
over hers.
She loved him 50 much. 1t world
be worth any sacrifice if she could
make him happy.
She reached Reno early in the
morning. Every one was asleep but
the few passengers who stumbled
drowSily from the train. She didn't
see Tony. Supposing he hadn't been
able to make it. She wouldn't know
where to go or what to do. Then
she caught sight of him running
down the platform. Suitcase and all
he seized her IN his arms.
Darling, darling!" he cried.
He led the way to a taxi saying,
I've taken a room for you at the
hotel"
She climbed into the taxi and out
again at the hotel where he kissed
her and left her promising to tele-
phone at o'clock. In the room to
which she was assigned she fell
asleep as trustingly as a child think
ing happily "TomorroW-no today
we will be married."
IT didn't seem like a Wedding.
L That brief ceremony in a grimy
office, without candles or flowers.
But they were married all right.
The license was there to prove it.
You kids had better keep this"
the man who had married them
said.
She would keep it, Treasure said,
clasping it tightly She would Keep
it to her dying day.
Hand in hand they went out into
the street. Such a little space of
time had elapsed but now they were
husband and wife. She was no
longer Treasure Mcclure but Mrs.
Anthony Molinari with a small white
gold band on the third finger of her
left hand.
AS soon as they were in the car
his mothers car-Tony kissed her
in spite of the persons staring from
the street.
Il can't believe it." he whispered.
Neither can Il"
Its true though" he said releas-
ing her. They can never separate
us again."
Never" she echoed joyfully.
All during the ride - Tahoe they
chartered like two l.. lie love birds
making their plans. Treasure was
thrilled by the scenery. She had
never seen anything like the great
5noW-covercd mountains with their
long snow sheds and the glistening
heavily laden trees.
1T looks like a picture postcard"
she said.
She was also delighted with
Tony's grownup experienced ways.
He drove over those narrow dan
gerous roads with such accom-
pliShed ease. He was so casual and
matter of fact at the hotel where
they arrived about five.
Tony had kept his promise to
take her shopping. Before leaving
Reno they had gone on what seemed
an orgy Of spending to the girl.
Tony had selected nightgowns and
lingerie and frivolous blue satin
mules as well as a heavy white
wooden suit to wear in the snow.
Can you pay for it?" she de-
manded anXiously.
He had smiled.
"Of counsel Mother gave me $500
for Christmas as we'll as extra
money for this trip"
1t was simply marvellous the way
he entered the hotel and carelessly
signed their names. Mr. and Mrs
Anthony Molinari."
To be sure the clerk had all he
could do to conceal his interest in.
the fact that they were undoubtedly
a bride and groom. He winked at
the bellboy who carried the two
suitcaSeS to their room, but Treasure
