BY PHILIPPA GRAY, Everybody in the hotel smiled at the little bride. She was so obviously in love with her husband, and he with her. But somehow it seems more in- teresting when it ie the bride who shows the chief devotion. Everybody expects it of him. And women are more adept at hiding their feelings. So everybody was really sorry for the bride when the bridegroom was called back to the city on a most im- portant business matter which meant the transference of several thousands of dollars. There was no alternative, however, and so she bore up bravely and was quite chatty and communica- tive with the other guests. And out of her own beart, overflow- ing with sympathy, she gave a bounte- ous store to the lonely girl who knit- ted on the piazza. She wondered why such a nice girl had never married. One day, in a moment of confidence, ! the lonely girl told her. “You see, my dear,” she said, “when once you have really been in love you | cannot ever love again in the same way. I gave my heart long ago—five years ago, my dear. It was stolen, I should say, because—" She hesitated “I never learned his name,” she whis- pered. “You never learned his name?” ques- tioned the little bride. “l suppose that sounds dreadful,” the other admitted. “And yet I had never loved before—I was twenty-| three and I had never had a beau, I} had never let a man kiss me—until | then. “I was living on Staten island and crossed on the ferry to Manhattan every morning to my place of busi- He lived there too. negs.

But he was a gentleman and I knew he ! never weuld unless we found a mutual | friend to introduce us. And I did not | want him to; T knew somehow that it | would break the spell if he should do 80. | “I think we must have known each | other in this way for three month though we never exchanged a word, or bowed.

I think those were the happic st moments of my life, | And when at lost we were picked up (’hd put safely aboard and given warm [ clothes and hot drinks in the saloon cabin, a sudden fear fell on my spirit. since he had spoken, I should never see that look in his eyes | again. “Just before we stepped ashore he !

She was a bird of pass- age; she was due to return on the day that the bridegroom returned. The bridegroom actually arrived at the ho- | tel just as the lonely girl stood in the | office, her baggage beside her, waiting | ‘for her carriage.

She was engaged jult then in putting a muflier about th bridegroom’s shoulders, so that ho should not catch cold. The lonely girl sat down in a chair and leaned her head back against the wall, her face the color of chalk. The bridegroom had gone out of the office and the lit- tle bride hurried to the girl in the |, o, prevented From Landing chair. : “You feel {l?” she asked. “Can I get you some water? Won't you lle down?” “No,” answered the girl, rising with an effort. “It was the heat, I think.” The little bride had thought that it was very cold. She did not eay any- thing, however, but helped the lonely girl into the carriage and waved her |t good-by. The lonely girl, lying back agalnst the cushons, sobbed wildly. Yet, though her grief overwhelmed her, in her heart was a song of gladness be- cause she had not let the little bride know. Thank God that she would go | through life ignorant of that! She had recognized him as soon asl he entered the oftfice. He was un- changed; there was the same joyous look in his eyes; the same spirit of youth stirred in his heart. Even in! her pain she would not have missed that period of happiness and those years of waiting. Meanwhile the little bride hadf the stoop which everybody had agreed to leave unused for the sake of the little bride. “Arthur, dearest,” said the little | bride, “I want to say something— | something awful. Do you remember a confession you made to me the day| before we were married about—about kissing a girl once after a ferry accl- dent?" | “I don't want to remember those past transgressions,” growled the bridegroom, kissing the little bride, “But why .did you do it, Arthur?” | peisisted the little bhride. “Why, 1 told vou, my dear,” an- swered the ouy, huffily. “1 felt | sorry for hier and--well, she looked as | if she wanted someone to kiss her. | What harm did it do?” her hefore, 00 rid “You hadn't ever sec .

It Woo can convince the Singapore authori- bai to land and see his wife in Canton. fes that his eight-inch stub or braided r is a pigtail, he may be allowed It not, he will be condemned to sail the seas some more—he has been on the water continuously for fifteen years—until he can establish his iden- tity as a Chiraman or smuggle him- ! self into America. Woo Chow is a man without a coun- | try. dental. He has been excluded from Woo is neither oriental nor ocei- the United States and from China for fifteen years. This is how it has hap- pened: Woo Chow had heard much of | America, the promised land, in his home in Canton, when he attended an American missionary school. His blood was stirred by the tales of op- | portunity. Fifteen years ago Woo left his na- | tive home and went to Singapore, leaving behind a wife, and a father and mother, and two children. For two years he worked on the Singapore river front, until one day a ship, sailing for America, was with- out a crew. The captain picked up a erew along the water front. Among others he picked up Woo. Throughout the long voyage Woo proved his fidelity. Being the only ! Mongolian on board he had to do the work of all the white men, but he never complained At last the ship arrived in New York. As the skyv line of Manhattan island loomed up Woo's heart beat for he fclt that at last his dreams were to he realized. Even in | those days New York's sky line was a marvelous contrast to the low-lying and filthy barbor of Singapore. dut Woo Chow could not land. He was a Chinaman and the Chinese se- clusion act barred him out. Greatly saddened, \Woo returned to Singapore. In that town, however, he was informed that it really was easy | enough to get into the United States, | for the authorities in America only ‘objuctcd to the customs of the Chi- nese, not to the people themselves. Again Woo ventured forth, and again he came to New York. This time, when still eight days from land, he visited the ship’s barber and ca- the individual into providing him with a haircut gone. Woo considered himself no longer a Chinaman, but to ussurance doubly sure, Woo bought a belt and a pair of western trousers and tucked in his shirt. At last, he thought he would be admitted. Again he was doomed to disap- pointment, and again he returned to China him in, for he had no pigtail. He was not the same Woo who had left China, and the Chinese would not allow Woo's contention that he was a native, and as he had no passport he was excluded. Of course, If Woo had been able to appeal to the captain with whom he had left China he might tain York.
