=WORLD'S Ena THE WORLD: WEDNESDAY EVENING, NOVEMPER 26, 1902 Jennings’ s Bride. A Honeymoon Darkened by a Merry Mix-Up and|' a Misunderstanding. SHE WAS GOING BACK TO MOTHER Thought She Sat Her Husband Emb-ace Another Woman, but It Was His 2win Brother. By WILLIAM WENDHAM, (opytigit, 1902, by Daily Story Pub. Company.) ( all happened because Jennings con- cealed it from Laura that Jack, his brother, was his twin, and further what they resembled each other so closely that their nearest friends could mot tell one from the other unless they ‘were seen together, and then it was very doubtful. So it had come to pass that Tom, sent ‘to the West on a long business mission, fhad wooed and won dainty Laura May- mard and they were on their honey- moon when the catastrophe happened. Jack had found {t Impossible to be present at the wedding, 2,000 miles dis- “ant, for one reason among others that he was to be married himself within a ‘week of the day set for the Jennings- Maynard nuptials. Then it was that the brothers had resolved, with one ac- cord, after an elaborate exchange of telegrams, that it would be a good thing to give both brides a surprise and meet at the same watering place for the Ferpective honeymoons. This required considerable finesse for two men with- out the ald of a feminine head, espe- @lally when the matter involved so Im- new sister-in-law at the train and ar- At the Qepot he learned that the train upon which they were coming had been de- tained by a wreck. A train was going range for a proper denouement. in that direction and would meet {t at & Station about an hour's ride distant, the station agent assured him, So he decided to ride out and meet them and ride back with them. It would be much more pleasant than waiting about the depot. But alas for human plans, the wreck was cleared much sooner than expected and when Tom arrived at the station where he expected to meet It he learned to his chagrin that it had already passed and the more alarming news that there was not another train his way for two hours. He gnashed his teeth in Jm- patience, but even then had no su picion of the tragedy about to be en- acted. As the couple Laura was watching swept out of the dining-room after walk- ing past her, laughing and chatting hap- pily, and evidently oblivious of her pres- ence, she arose to retire also, and a familiar voice at her elbow said: THE HUSBAND’S SURPRISE. “GOOD HEAVENS, LAURA, WHERE ARE YOU GOING?" ortant a part of two weddings. But they succeeded by hook or crook, and ‘fom t>\umphantly carried off the gold- A en-haired beauty far across the con- ftinent to a seaside hotel of great fame ‘and there installed her in palatial bridal @utte, while he waited with much ‘ohuékling for the appearance of Jack fend his bride, Everything had been going so lovely * What Laura seemed to be in a veritable fairyland and feared each moment that @he would awaken and find it all dream, In this frame of mind she did @waken very suddenly, Tom had slipped out for an afternoon cigar, he sald, and Presently, hungry for the loving gaze ‘of his frank, sparkling eyes, she started down the spacious corridor, bent on @oing to the broad piazza and find him. Ghe had little more than left her apart- ne ment than she cime face to face with him, And (could she belleve her eyes?) on his arm was a radiant beauty with @aucy blackseyes and a wealth of coal- Qlack hair, and he was bending toward her In an attitude unmistakably lover- ke, and was whispering ardently Into her very dainty and very willing ear. ‘As Laura was about to scream out to Ihim he turned and his eyes met hers, With an unrecognizing stare he turned back with a radiant glance of devouon ‘to the dark woman on his arm and fol- owed a dell boy into an apartment. As the door closed she tried to scream, but her volce failed her. Sie would go,home to her mother and er—the mother who loved her 80 rly and would shield her from the ‘world and Its sncers, the father so self- 4 @pliant and honest and strong, who was one of the great race of men who had gone into the West and made an empire of it and who would brook no wrong to his people; und these Eastern » dilettantes should know the courage and atrength of the man of the West when they deliberately wrong him and his. Deliberately she took account of the well-filled purse her father had pressed into her hand at parting and from which she had thus far had no oppor- tunity to make an expenditure. She Yang for a bell boy and ascertained tne time of the first train for the West. It was not until 9 o'clock, She then re- @olved to appear at dinner and show him she was as indifferent as he. She dressed elberately after packing a hand satchel and appeared at the dinner table more radiant than ever. She seated herself at the old place and gianced around to gee If he had the audacity to appear, Yes, sure enough, there he was but two Jes away still leaning adoringly over t terrible woman with the dusky ve skin and brilliant eyes, {t was éyidence of her coolness that she deli ératgly regarded his clothing and ob- Gerved all the little characteristics she learned to belong to him, Once ring the meal ‘the glanced toward her, * regarding her with cold politeness, She that he continually glanced about room as though watching for some- In the mean time Tom had made the Susy of tho afternoon cigar in order “So you wouldn't walt for me, sweet- heart; I think you might. Did you think I had committed suicide?" “Don't you dare to touch me, ai she replied with flasting eyes and in tones of deepest seorn, turning on her husband and drawing herself away from him as something unclean, “nor speak to me, either, Go back to your bru- nette. Papa will settle with you later. Then she fled to her room while Tom stood rooted to the spot. Presently recovering, he suspected the situation and rushed to the desk, where he learned of the arrival of his brother and his wife and the fact that they were located in the next suite to his own, He dashed upstairs, never watt- ing for the elevator, only to find his wife attired in travelling costume and armed with a travelling bag about to depart. “Good heavens, Laura, where are yout golng?” he exclaimed. “There has been 4 terrible mistake, Let me explat “I desire to hear no explanations, she interrupted, coldly, "Keep them for papa. You will need them then, I am going home to get a divorce. Go back to the other woman. As she swept down the corridor Tom dashed past her and, as If in mockory of her words, flung himself into the room she had seen him enter in the afternoon with the other woman. As she passed the door he reappeared, arag- ging with him in great excitement the dark woman and another man, whom she did not notice, She cast her eyes stralght before her and fled from the gratuitous insult, Seouring a carriage she was driven rapidly to the depot. An Instant later two men clad in evening dress flung (henselves into another car- riage and started at a breakneck gait also for the depot. But it proved a case of the greater the haste the less to the speed, for in the reckless driving the carriage collided with an omnibus and when the two passengers recovered consclousnors the train had been gone for many minutes, That ja why the Maynards in thelr Western home received the incoherent but alarming message from their daugh- ter that she had been cruelly deceived and was on her way home; whicl was followed quickly by an equally incoher- ent and mystifying wire from Tom: “Am on the next train following Laura with my brother and his wife. All a terrible mistake. Case of mistaken {den- tity. Brother is my twin and looks just ke me, Make Laura wait and listen to reason before taking any stap." The upshot of {t all was that the fwo bridal couples spent their honeymoons In the West instead of the East, and as an incident thereto Tom was compelled to shave his entire beard and to prom- ise never to wear one again, while Jack was compelled to enter an equally sol- emn promise to his bride never to shave his beard. “Phe idea," exclaimed Laura, “ot a woman travelling around without‘a cer- tainty that she knoms her own husband m some other mai "Yes, Indeed} The idea!” echoed get away and meet his brother and* Jack's bride, + | sevestn | * % Photographic Lessons in Etiquette ~*~ ™% } SIMPLE, HOME LESSON. i ry oe By HARRIET HUBBARD AYER. os wt HOSPITALITIES.
