The question brought two or three early birds, who were hastening to their tents, back among the rest of the com- pany to discuss some new vleasure of sport for the next evening’s entertain- ment, Several plans were suggeoted.but none of them met the approval of the whole party. *Mcr. Carlson, you have as yet suggest- od nothing. What do you think it would be pleasant to do to-morrow night!” asked one of the young ladtes. “I, Miss Mary?” answered the young man addressed, who until this moment had been leaning indifferently against a tree. I am going to the village to- morrow, and will probably not return until the following day.” The faces of the party fell, while it was ovident from the tones of regret that Mr. Carlsen was a groat favorite in camp. “Mr, Carlson must have found some modern Maud Muller, who cfiers attract- ions much superior to ours, else he would not make such frequent journeys to the large metropolis of Meadville.” This re- mark was made in a very sarcastic tone by a young lady who was stirring the dy- ing embers of the camp fire, thereby caus- ing a shower of sparke to fly around her. The blood mounted high into the face of the gentleman addressed, and, reach- ing out his hand to brush off a spark which had fallin on the young lady’s drees, Mr. Carlson said in a low tone: “‘Mies Thurston, what matters it to you if [ goor stay?”’ But before his question could be an- swered, Carlson's sister cried petulantly: O, friends, let him go. Ho told me he had a business appointment, and Arthur will never break an appointment, no mat- ter trivial, unless, perhaps, for a wedding ora funeral.” “Well, a funeral we will not have, even to keep your charming company, Art,” oried a boyish voice. **We might have » wedding,” the owner of the voice continued; “I wouldn’t mind being party to that myself,” and the speaker looked mischievously at one cf the ladies, who colored deeply and walked away in seem- ing anger, *‘Here! here!"” cried all the gentlemen, laughisgly, ‘‘who will voluateer to have a wedding on Oalrson’s account?” The boyish voice spoke again: “No one loves you well enough, Art, to bo married for you but me, and I sup- pose I can’t be a wedding all by myself.” “T will help you out in that, Cousin Jobn,” gayly cried Miss Thurston; *‘I have been meditating marriage for some time, and this is the first opportunity— well,” sko said, rather hesitatingly, *This is the first opportunity which I have cared to embrace,” “But, Margie,” replied her Cousin John, as if greatly perplexed, *‘you see, not anticipating this ovent, and never having been encouraged by you to con- sider myselfa candidate for such honor, I have spoken to another girl upon the same subject.” Every one jolnedin the laugh at Miss Thurston’s expense but Arthur Carlson, “*Miss Thurston,” he said after tho laugh had subsided, ““gou have been jilted, al- low me to offer you reparation, If it is only the opportunity you care to embrace a change of groom can make but little difference. 1f you will be first party to the contract I will agree to be second, and will return to-morrow evening, with all necessary preliminaries, in time for our wedding,” “You are certainly yery kind, Mr, Carlson,” replied Miss Thurston, haught- ily. ““People who are so generous scld. om expect their gencrosity to be accepted, but 1 shall eurprise you by agrecing to your proposition,” “I'was in earnest when I made the proposition, Miss Thurston,” ““And I wasin earnest when when 1 accapted it, Mr, Carlson,” These two were everat sword’s points. They had quarreled together since baby- hood, and although, up to this time, each had guarded the secret jealously from the other, yet it was evident to most of their friends that the two were dearer to each other in thelr quarrels than many other people in their friendships, The pll’tfl now seperated for the night, elated at the prospect of the next even- ing's entertainment, but that the jest would become reality never entered their thoughts, When the party breakfasted tho next morning Mr. Carlson_was already on his way to the village, It was agreed that _| part of the day should be spent in pro- puring for the mock ceremony. Miss Thuraton was the gayest of the gay, and peals of morry laughter awoke answering echoes from rock and cliff. Only once or twice, when alone in her tent, har cheeks paled as sho wondered what Arther Carlson would do, for he had looked de- termined the night before, “‘Well,"” said Miss Thurston to herself, “your word is given now, Margarel Louise Thurston, and a Thurston was never known to break their word,” In the late afternoon her friends came to dress her for the wedding, Thoey draped her in some fluffy, white dress, which filled out the girlish white form to the Veat, coiled the luxcriant brown hair simple mountain flowers at her belt Never before had she looked so beautiful commotlon outside 2 Carleson's re surron the tent and M announc s Thurston, led aughi frionds, went oat t moe " said her cousin John, strid to her angrily, “‘thia farco has gone far enough, Carlson is certainly dement ed. Ho has brought a full fledged parson with him without even mentioning that this is o jest. You must put a stop to it at once, for it 18 & shame to triflo with such serious things to this extent, At these words Miss Thurston grow very pale, but her friends laughed and snid: *‘Of course he is not a real minis. tor, John Shopherd. This is only a part of the joke.” N Yes, ho is a real minister,” was the reply, *for I heard him preach in the village only last Sunday.’ At this moment Mr. Carlson camo up. He too, was pale, but in his eyes burned an Intense fire. “‘Miss Thurston,” he said, I was in terriblo earnest when I said what 1 did last evening. 1In proof of which 1 have procured liconse and minister. Wil you Ll SATURDAY, OCTOBER 11 i8si. wora ill, the kind, but gonsipy little land Indy began to tell in broken It o young foreigner who had como to n fow weoks before, and who ehortly | after had been taken ill with a fover, and | now was v ill indeod. She said the young man had no friends and that the good doctor often came away looking very grave indeed. After that day many & dainty bouquot cr basket of us fruit found its way to the sick man, while tho landlady often told tho young gentleman of the tall, sad-faced Iady who had sent the gifts. Ono day, as thissamo lady atepped out of her room prepared for a drive, she met the doctor returning from a visit to his patient. The dootor advanced toward her hesi tatingly. “‘You are an American, missi’ he sald at Inst, *Yea, sir Margaret answered so pleasantly that the doctor continued with more assur- ance, at tho same time waving his Yand to the room he had just left. “There is » young gentleman in there, be my wifel” Those who had been most forward in urging on the joke were now most oar nest in dissuading their friends against such a highly improper proceeding, but Carlson’s intonse eyos were upon Marga- ret's face, and his voice said: “You and | havo lived for fun all our lives, lot ws now be married for fun.” The very demon of recklessnoss took possession of Miss Thurston’s spirit. 1f Carlson had asked her there, before them all, to marry him for love, sho would have turned away, shocked and grioved —but for fun; yos, she would aaro as much as he,and she immediately stepped w0 Oarlson’s side, remarking in a aughing tone: **Yes, Mr. Carlson, I will marry you for fan.” “Margio, this cannot go on. What will your father say and feel?’ and her cousin stormed up and down before the tents, appealing first to one and then to the other, but all to no avail. At this moment the minister, whom Mr. Carlson had socured, stopped out of his tent, and the young couple took the places which had been prepared for them when a mock ceremony had been in viow. A silence fell over the little group as the solemn words of tho beautiful Episco- pal servico fell upon their cars. Then rang out the responces: From the bride low and defiant; from the groom clear and determined. ““That ye may 8o live together in this world that in the world to come ye may have hfe everlasting.” Margaret never forgot these words. In comiug days she repeated them over and over to herself until she almost prayed to have them blotted out from her memory. By the time the ceremony was finished the audience had concluded that the affair had been planned beforehand in secret, and that they were the dupes of the joke. Accordingly, never was company wayer than theirs that night, and the mer- rymaking was continued into the morn- ing hours. The camp broke up in a day or two, Mr. and Mrs. Carlson parting from their friends in apparently bigh spirits, Ar- rived at their home, where the news had preceded them, the culprits were received with real forgiveness, for, undoubtedly, the match was a splendid one. Judge Thurston’s family had been known and honored in the community for years; while Mr. Carlson was the junior mem- ber of a large and wealthy firm dealing in fine imported goods. Two weeks passed after their roturn in which Arthur saw but little of his wife. Judge Thurston's summer resi- dence was a number of miles from the city, and the gentlemen could ouly run down over Sundays, On these days the two were as uncomfortable as possible in each other’s presence and avoided being left together. One quiet Sabbath ovening Arthur came out of the judges library with a pale face and set lips. Ascending the stairs with faltering steps, he sought his | wife’s room and knocked at the door. “‘Coute in,” said a low voice. Entering, he saw Margaret sitting in a low chair, with her light brown hair falling around her shoulders in great profusion., He miss, who is not long for this world. He is an American also. It is very hard to dio 80, miss—80 great distance from one's people, and with no kind frionds.” ‘You are right,” Margaret answered ‘It s indoed hard, My father spoke yestorday of going in to seo the gontleman. Ho 1s out just at present but if 1 may I will go in now.” After a moment's absence the doctor roturned and_conducted Margaret into the room. Tho curtains woro closely drawn, and coming from the light into the darkness she was blinded for a mo ment. Not 8o with the sick man. Look- ing up to groot his visitor he uttered a sharp cry and the one word, ‘“‘Margie.” Margarot stood as if stunned, and thea, advancing rapidly to the bed she kneeled down besideit and buriedZher face in the pillows. The poor doctor with a con- fused look turned and hastily left the room, Thero was a moment's atillness, broken only by Margaret's low sobbing, I'he form befors her seemed to be the wreck of a onco strong and beautiful manhood, The sick man was Arthur Carleon. He raised his thin, vasted hand and tenderly stroked the bright locks on the pillow beside him. ‘‘Poor little Margie,” he said faintly, ‘‘you will soon be free no Then, Margaret never knew how, she forgot overything connected with the past, she only remembered that the man lying there, sick unto death, was her husband. At last the proud spirit was humbled, and she confessed what she had kept o jealously guatded in her own breast for so long. *‘Oh, Arthur,” sho cried in her agony, *‘O, my husband, only forget the past and try to iive for the futare. Giod helping me, 1 will yet win your love." The white face on the pillow lit up like the countenance of the dying who see heavenly visions. The excitement of the moment gave Arthur back his strength. Raising himselfon his elbgw, he lifted the bright head beside him un til he could look into the love-lit eyes. In one moment they read the mistake of years in each other’s face. Kach had loved, each had misunderstood. *‘Great (iod! is it possible——" but the momen- tary strength forsook the frame of the sick man and he fell back on his pillow like one dead, The doctor, still much confused, had waited ip the hall, from wnich he was now awistly summoned to the sick room. For many days the flickering flame of life burned low, but it was fed from the fountain of love in the breast which now o often pillowed the weary head. The kind old doctor worked and watched as he had never done before, and he and the little landlady held many awhisperea consultation in the hall about the turn which affairs had taken, At last death was conquered. But it was not for many weeks—not until Ar- thur was strong _enough to ride out b{ the sparkling blue sea—did the twospenl of the past. Then, when they had put it away forever, Arthur drew hie wife to him very tendealy and said: **Our love was born g0 long ago that it almost had no beginning, and now, thank God, it will never know an ending. gravely. had never seen her go before, and some great mental emotion preventing his noticing the look of glad surprise which flashed into his wife's face as she pre- ceived who her visitor was. _Mr. Carlson checked the impetuous words which rose to his lips, and spoke in a voice of strain- ed coldness. *‘Margaret.” he said, ad- vancing to her side, *‘I desire a fow mo ments’ conversation if it will not incon venience you.” The light died out of the bright face at theee seemingly cold words, ““You have occupled my thme so little of late that I can give you a few moments without great inconvenlence,” she ro. plied, without rising,” You and I have made a great mistake, Margie,” her hus- band continued, sadly, ‘I take my due share of the blame; but even I would never dared do this if I had not thought— but no matter what I thought. We were married for fun, of course, and now wo do not find it so much fun as we anticipated. 1 have been speaking with your father. He will not hear to a divorce, noa is there suflicient grounds for one if we desired it. But he agrees with me, that you and 1 can notlive in this mutual etate of un- happiness. 1 would give anything if 1 could undo the past, but that is impossi- ble. 1tis necessary that one member of our firm live abroad.
