The two months’ wedding trip was a suc- cession of tears and forgivings, be- cause Burkle was constantly forget- ting that he had a bride and the bride naturally objected to that. Burkle often pondered on the inscrutable ways of women, who, it seemed, al- ways wanted to be in the center of the limelight. however, because she certainly was worthy of being shome upon. Often when he found himseif still bewildered over the fact that he was married one got & wite back home in hyllefl‘cl with two doetors and a trained nurseé working over her, because she says her husband §s murdered and thrown into the lake—and you see you are not in the lake, Come on, now, and tell us about it.” Some time later when the doctors and the nurse had departed Burkle surveyed Kis wife thoughtfally.

In a moment of absentmindedness Burkle got married. It must have been absentminded- ness or sheer mental aberration, for it Burkle had stopped to think he' would have realized that he of all men was cut out for a bachelor. He had been a bachelor for over forty years and the habit was ingrained in bhim.

Yet in spite of this dim comprehen- sion Burkle was far from being com- pletely broken to harness. That was why the first day the Burkles got back from their trip Burkle accepted joy- ously the invitation of “the bunch,” as represented by Jones and Larkins. time, and, after much handshaking and congratulating, proposed a dinner downtown at the same old place where six or eight congenial souls had been accustomed to gather in the years that were gone by. the boys and so he pronounced the idea bully.

Yes, he stopped at Jones' “diggings.” In the morning when he wakened the sun was high and with a glance at the clock Burkle bounded up and into his clothes. He recalled an im- portant appointment at the office for nine o'clock, and he made a rush to get there on time. Now, when Burkle is engrossed in business he gives a remarkably good imitation of a man deaf dumb and blind to every other consideration. No thought but that of business on hand entered his mind. That was why when a couple of persons wearing square toed shoes and mysterious expressions entered his office and after staring at him suspiciously demanded his name Burkle was not agitated. He told them absentmindedly that his name was Burkle and continued laboring with his papers.s One of the square toed men tapped him on the shoulder. “Maybe you're Burkle,” said the square toed man, “but you've got to prove it.
