The pretty wedding with its echoes
Of Mendelssohn, and lights, musin
and flowers, was a dream of the past
night, the.h'appy couple having start-
ed on their wedding journey some
hourrf before.
,In the wake of the event, the mem-'
bers of the house party, convened for
the qecasion, were beginning to scat-
ter.
The westward bound were \o be
cnly two In number, and the existence
cf these two had been made as en-
livening as a party of young people
on mischief bent'could Invent oi- de-
vise. Now that the hour of departure
had come, the evidently repentent
hand was striving to make the
amende honorable. The girls assisted
Helena In her packing,'and had kindly
attended to her tlckdt and berth while
she had gone on a morning drive.
No less attentive had been Kenton’s
companions, uhtil a less guileless and
suspicious pair would -readily have
scented mischief under, this guise of
devoted friendship. A subdued sad-
ness pervaded the party quite in keep-
ing with the occasldn of leave-taking.
In the midst of the adieux, the two
travelers, surrounded hy Solicitous
friends, and the train pulling- in—the
’baggage wagon, mysteriously’-delayed,
llnall^-arriri-^. A trunk and dress-
suit deposited on the plat-
form near the group, and Immediately
the two pieces of baggage became the
center of attraction to-the’crowd of
idlers and employes at the station.
The trunk was beribhoned and be-
decked to the verge of frivolity, en-
its white duck cover large crimson
hearts were pasted, some of them
arrow pierced. Scarcely less ornate
was the dress-suit case, with a gener-
ous supply of twin hearts and stream-
ers of white ribbons-; while fastened
to the handle by a padlock, to which
there was no key, and, that toniy a
file might sever, was a sheep-bell that
tinkled loudly. If not melodiously an
Uie augnieal provocation.
The respective owners recognized
their baggage almost at the same ln^
stanf., and their faces became an inter-
esting study.
“Linda, this Is some of your out-
rageous work!” declared Helena, turn-
ing on one of her pretty companions
a look of righteous Indignation, the
crimson In her cheeks scarcely less
deep than that of the hearts bedeck-
ing her trunk.
“Dear, do' be composed,” cried Lin-
da. the unabashed, alTectlng entire
fnnoeence concerning the accusation.
“Look how the people are staring
from the car windows. , How very
the windows on that side of the train
and a suppressed titter ran the length
of the coach on -their entrance.
‘This is your section.”' The conduc-
tor waved his hand toward the seats

treachery. The section was festooned
ornately with white ribbons, a hunch
of white roses, which had done duty

faded, depended from the closed up-
per berth. IHte a wilted marriage bell,
and the rwer seats were liberally
sprinkled with rice. Several con-
spicuous placards were pinned on the
woodwork around the windows.
"This is ridiculous! Absurd!” cried

in a cruelly loud voice.

"Its outrageous!” growled Kenton.
“If I had Van Dorn by the neck L’d

course he is the ringleader in this af-
fair. Ill warrant.” The speaker -ruth-
lessly tore down the placards and
festooning, and tossed them out the
window. ‘Now you need not feel io
conspicuous. Pray -be seated, and" I
will go forward into the smoker."
The solace of a favorite cigar is a
wonderful sedative. After Kenton
had finished a couple, .he felt lar less
savage, and much more Inclined to re-
flection. Looking back over his past
lonely life, he could not but admit
that It ‘would be\a most fortunate
thing,'Indeed, lfTiB welre really now
on his bridal trip. Certainly he could
wish for no,fairer companion through
life than Helena. This was not a
new thought by . any means It had
made its way into his brain ere this
in protean guises, but now, under the
pressure of the recent Joke, the mat-
ter appealed more forcibly to him
than It had ever done before.
What, a luaky dog he might con-
sider himself If he could only win such
a woman as Helena. Yet now how
could he hope to do so In the face
of such embarrassment as had just
been brought about? She probably
detested the ver£ sight of him. though
he was as innocent a p’arty as she to
the Joke. How pretty aYrd defiant she
had looked in her confusion.
Kenton suddenly straightened him-
self, ^and tossed thd’ end of his cigar
out the window. “What if the tablet
should be turned?" he asked himself.
"They think me an arrant coward,
well, perhaps I have been, but I’ll
prove that I’m no longer one,” he
added resolutely, “I’m going to win
that girl If I can.’’
He found Helqna apparently deep-
ly absorbed In a book she had pur-
chased of the train boy, but when he
asked thertitle, she had to look It up
for hln}.

Why Not Sign “Y’rs?”
In these days, when economy of
time and space are of the highest im-
portance, It seems to me that/ some
of the conventionalities of correspond-
ence might .well be abolished.
Why should we write “Dear sir,”
and then make a pause and begin
a.fresh line? Why coul’d not all we
have to say flow straight on in the
same line from “Dear sir?"
Again, why should we take three
lines—nnd this, perhaps. Is more Im-
portant—over the conclusion of our
letters? It strikes me that It would
be Infinitely simpler and more con-
venient If you concluded a letter thus:
“1 am, dear sir, your obedient serv-
ant. Ed’ard Cuttle/’ all in one line.
Can anyone tell me the reason of this
custom arid when it was originated?
