It was on the day the dead president was buried, when, as you remember, the street cars and the telegraph ceased to operate for five minutes as a mark of respect for the martyred chief. My friend, whose home is in Wash- ington, was engaged to be married to a young lady in Cincinnati. (I’ve never seen the lady, but it goes with- out saying that she is the sweetest girl in the world and all that sort of thing—they all are!) Her father is a very particular old gentleman and had not looked with favor on my friend’s suit. The couple had been engaged in secret for three years, and it was onlya month ago that the parental consent was secured. The young lady and her father were visiting friends near Anapolis, and it was while there that he was prevailed upon to give in. Of course, they wanted to have the ceremony performed at once before father could change his mind, and it was arranged to take place on the 19th of September—the day McKin- ley was buried. My friend travels through thesouth for a New York house, whose busiest month is September, and he could only get two days leave. Tle fixed his dates so that he would be in Baltimore, where the wedding was to-trkephice e 19th, and a arrangements for the affair were per-| to the operator, danced out of his ottice. fected by letter.

He started to| walk out of the office whena thought flashed through his brain that gave: him a new lease on life.

The cars out in the streets were clanging their gongs and slowly moving off—click— click—the telegraph was again at work and the noise of the sounders was the sweetest music he had ever) heard. “Hurry off my message!” he blurt- ed out to the operator, who already had his finger on the key, preparing to send his dispateh. Suddenly the sounder set up a series of furious clicks, “Wait,” said the operator, quickly. “Annapolis is calling now.” He gave the answer to the call and threw in his switch; after a slight pause the sounder started off again at a lively rate. : The operator listened for a mo- ment, then glanced hurriedly at the copy my friend had given him and exclaimed with surprise: “Why, it’s for you, sir.” “Fer me? Great—what is it—quick quick!” he gasped, dumbfounded. “Father—suddenly—ill—cannot— leave—particulars later.” Those are the words the operator called out as fast as the instrument clicked them off.

He looked at his watch; it was half- past two! The train would leave in five minutes and he couldn’t possi- bly catch it now. What was he to do? Across the street wasa telegraph office. Quick as a flash he conceived the idea of telegraphing to his fian- cee’s father before he left Annapolis informing him of his predicament. Of course, he realized that only by great good fortune could the mes- sage be delivered in time, but it was his only resource, and he was desper- ate.
