W. C. A. Building. He flung down some change and demand- ed the use of the telephone. Then, with one eye on the opposite doorway, he called up a number and delivered his message. "Of've treed me bird. She's in & room all roight at the Y. W. C. A. place, fer I seed her at the winder. She come with a foine gintlemin, but he's gahn now, an’ she's loike to stay a spell.

Meanwhile the bride-elect upstairs, with happy heart and trem- bling fingers, was putting on her own beautiful garments once more, and ar- ranging the waves of lovely hair in their old accustomed way. Tyron Dunham’'s plans were well laid. He first called up his friend the minister and told him to be ready; then a florist not far from the church; then a large department store where he had spent some time that morning. “Is that Mr. Hunter, head of the fur department? Mr. Hunter, this is Mr. Dunham. You remember our conver- sation this morning? Kindly send the coat and hat I selected to the Y, W. C. A. Building at once. Yes, just send them to the office. You remember it was to be C. 0. D., and I showed you my certified check this morning. It's all right, is it? How long will it take you to get it there? All right. Have the boy wait if I'm not there. Good-by."” His next move was to order a car riage, and have it stop at the florist’'s on the way. That done, he consulted his watch. Seventeen minutes of hig precious half-hour were gone. With nervous haste he went into a tele- ! phone booth and called up his own homie on the long-distance. 3 To his relicf, his mother answered. “ls that you, Mother? This I8 Tryon. Are you all well? That's good. Yes, I'm in Chicago, but will soon be home. Mother, I've something to tell you that may startle you, though there is nothing to make you sad. You have known that there was something on my mind for some time.” He paused for the murmur of assent. He knew how his mother was look- ing, even though he could not see her —that set look of being ready for any- thing. He wanted to spare her as much as possible, so he hastened on: “You remember speaking to me about the ring I wore?” “Tyron! Are you engaged?” There was a sharp anxiety in the tone as it same through the hundreds of miles of space. “One better, Mother. I'm just about to be married!” “My son! What have you done? Don't forget the honorable name you bear!” “No, Mother, [ don't forget. She's fine and beautitul and sweet. You will love her, and our world will tall at her feet!” \ “But who {8 she? You must remem. ber that love is very blind. Tryon, you must come home at once. I ghall die it you disgrace us all. Don't do anything to spoil our lives. 1 know it 1s something dreadful, or you would not do it in such haste.” “Nothing of the kind, Mother. Can't you trust me? Let me explain, She is alone, and legal circumstances which it would take too long for me to explain over the 'phone have made it desirable for her to have my immedi- ate protection. We are going at once to Edwin Twinell's church, and he will marry us. It is all arranged, but I felt that you ought to be told before- hand. We shall probably take the night express for home. Tell Cornelia that 1 shall expect congratulations telegraphed to the hotel here inside of two hours.” “But, Tryon, what will our friends think? It {s most extraordinary! How /can you manage about announce- | ments?” “Bother the red tape, Mother! What difference does that make? Put it in the society column if you want to.” “But, Tryon, we do not want to be m";cl')hl:l“:d'!; ell, Mother I'm not going to | &% my wedding at the last ml:uto :: | :“n:mr Or sema DIts of pastebonrd, 0 any reasonable thimg t 1 N.l.l.c:nlldnot that” " - uldn't you get a cha; ber, and bring her on to mp:“tmln: :;‘30\“4 plan the wedding at our lels. “Impossible, Mother!

Ask Mrs. Parker Bowman what she thinks 1 of her. Good-by! Cheer up, it'll be all right.” “But, Tryon, her name—" The receiver was hung up with a click, and Dunham looked at his watch nervously. In two minutes his half- Judge Blackwell know. Perhaps he could still catch him at the office. He sometimes stayed down-town late. Dun- ham rang up the office. The Judge was still there, and in & moment his cheery voice was heard ringing out, “Hello!” “Hello, Judge! Is that you? . . . This {8 Dunham. . . . Chicago. Yes, the business is all done, and I'm ready to come home, but I want to give you a bit of news. Do you remember the young woman who dined with us at Mrs. Bowman's and played the piane 80 well? ., . Yes, the night I mnt yov ... Well, you half guessed that night¢ how it was with us, I think. And no'* she is here, and we are to be marrie at once, before I return. I am jut about to go to the church, but I wan! ed your blessing first.” “Blessings and ccngratulations o you both!” came in & hearty voie over the phone. “Tell her she shal be at once taken into the firm as chiet consultant on condition that she plays for me whenever I agk her.” A great gladness entered the young man's heart as he again hung up the receiver, at this glinpse into the bright vista of future possibilities. He hur- ried into the street, forgetful of en- gravers, The half-hour was up and one minute over. In the meantime, the girl had slipped fnto her own garments once more with a relief and joy she could scarcely be- lleve were her own. Had it all been en ugly dream, this life she had been living for the past few months, and was she going back now to rest and peace and real life? Nay, not going back, but going forward. A knock at the door brought her back to realities again. Her heart throbbed wildly. Had he come back to her already? Or had her enemy found her out at last? Tryon Dunham hurried up the steps of the Y. W. C. A. building, nearly knocking over a baggy individual In rubbers, who was lurking in the en- trance. The young man had seen a boy In uniform, laden with two enor- mous boxes, run up the steps as he turned the last corner. Hastily writ- ing a few lines on one of his cards and slipping it into the largest box, he sent them both up to the girl's room. Then he sauntered to the door to see if_the carriage had come, It was there, “And, Mother, Don't Worry."” He glanced nside to see it his orders about flowers had been fulfilled, and spoke a few words of direction to the driver. Turning back to the door, he found the small, red eyes of the baggy Irtshman fixed upon him. Something in the slouch of the figure reminded Dunham strongly now of the man he bad noticed the night before, and as he went back into the buflding he looked the man over well and deter mined to watch him. As he sat in the office waiting, twice he saw the bleary eyes of the baggy man applied to the glass panes in the front door and a8 suddenly withdrawn. It irritated him, | and finally he strode to the door and asked the man it he were looking lorf some one. ! “Just waitin’ fer me sweeth e whined the man, with a crlngln:‘n:t!- tude. “She has a room in here, an’ I aved and sent ! 11 keep tongues b 8 address to you , saw her go in a while back.” “Well, you'd better move on. They don't care to have people hangin, around here.” ’ Upstairs the girl had dareq to open er door and h:¢ been relieved to find the elevator boy there with the two boxes. “The gentleman's below, an' he says et The matron had gone upstairs to e tho linen closet and left the girl with the discontented upper lip in charge in the office. The latter watched the elegant lady in the rich furs come down the hall from the elevator, and wondered who she was and why she had been upstairs. Probably to visit some poor protegee, she thought. The girl caught the lovelight in the eyes of Tryon Dunham as he rose to meet his bride, and she recognized him as the same man who had been in cloge converse with the cheaply dressed gir] In the parlor an hour before, and sneered as she wondered what the fine lady in furs would think if she knew about the other girl. Then they went out to the carriage, past the baggy, rubbered man, who shrank back su denly behind a stone column and he'll WM. 30" he sent these up,” sald the boy, depostting hfs burden and hurrying away. 8he locked her door once more, for somehow a great fear had stolen over her now that she was again dressed in. her own garments and could be easily recognized. She opened the large box and read the card lying on-the top: These are my wedding gifts to you, dear.

Her eyes shone brightly and her cheeks grew rosy red as she lifted out from its tissue paper wrappings a long, rich coat of Alaska seal, with exquisite brocade lining. She put it on and stood a moment looking at herself in the glass. She felt like one who had for a time lost her identity, and has suddenly had it restored. Such garments had been ordinary comforts of her former life. She had not been warm enough in the coarse black coat. The other box contained a beautiful bat of fur to match the coat. It was simply trimmed with one long, beaut- ful black plume, and in shape and gen- eral appearance was like the hat he had borrowed for her use in the fall. She smiled happily as she set it upon | her head, and then laughed outright as | she remembered her shabby silk gloves. Never mind. She could take them off when she reached the hurch. She packed the little black dress o the suitcase, folded the felt hat on | top with a tender pat, and, putting aer gloves, hurried down to the one waited for her, (To pe Continued.)
