someone asked at last.
Frederick nodded. He and his
niece stood apart from the rest.
Edith was smiling but had little to
say. She seemed separated from
the others by the fact of the ap-
preaching mystery.
The laughter had ceased; above
the whispers came the tremulous
echo of the organ.
The usher who had gone to the
telephone returned and drew Towne
aside.

His glance took in the changed
scene. A blight had swept over
those high young heads. Two of
the bridesmaids were crying. The
ushers had withdrawn into a hud-
died group. The servants were star
ing-uncertain what to do.
Somebody got Briggs and the big
