The best man and the groom brought up the rear. The Mridegroom’s face was bright and emiling, and he kept his eyes stead Mly on the bride; but the best man wwied continually. Only once did he speak of anything. “You should have told me,” he said, “what a pretty girl she ts.

Olenka smiled over her shoulder at the three men. At times she astonished by her prettiness. | She was as out of place in that shabby room as an orchid. You would not have been surprised to Jearn that she was 8 princess— even a fairy princess—in disguise. Her voice was tender and haunt fing, like the middle register of a fine old ‘cello when a master is playing.

He rose and| placed himself with his back to stove Odeskalki drew out a fat silver watch and scowled at it “Time for us to be off,” he sald| to Openta “It really is too bad,” sald Openta to the bride, “but I could not seem |‘ to make them understand.
