But being a martyr -was not the grand thing it appeared in novels. Geraldine began to think after she had become accustomed to the idea of it- As the day approached for her to marry the man she had never seen, she began to wonder if she "hadn't been too hasty in offering herself for the sacrifice. A girl of eighteen was ton vnnnc to be -married, anvwav. Surely the heroines ia the boohs had not given up lovers like Sanford. She loved him, after all. She had thought she hated him when he told her that reading trashy novels was spoling her and that if he had his way he wouldn't allow them to be printed. Then be had said her ideas about sacrifices were unreal and that she would never be able to make one and was only wasting her time thinking about them. He had gone away angry on that occasion and had neTer retnrned. He had taken, her "no" for final, there was no doubt about that. Oh. why had she been so siliy?so like the mere school girl she was, or rather had been, for she was all changed now! Sanford was rich and could have helped her father out of money difficulties as well as this strange man who somehow had got his dutches on their family honor. It was too late to appeal to the man she loved, though, she decided, and the realization of that only increased her unhappiness. As the day drew nearer and nearer things looked more hopeless. She had tried to find consolation in her novels but had thrown them away in disgust. Sanford .was right?they were trashy things. Only S OF A WIFE j caring for their children.

"I told Tim," Annie continued, "that! if we aid not want Margaret Ann to i : marry one of the Symone~"?wins now ; ! was/the time to separate them, and he j was quite shocked." "Why they are only babies." he said. And then I reminded 'him that over in Ireland his mother's cottage was next to mine and that we used to wander all over the place together from the time we could walk. "Are you sorry?" said Tim, "and he came over and kissed me," said Annie j blushing. "No. dear.". I answered, "but I cannot say that I owe that to my mother, she let us go around together without ever thinking if we would be unhappy or not." "Which." said Tim, with a twinkle in his eye. "resolves itself into the Question, 'shall we, the lowly Irish family, allow?think of it, my, dear. 1 am using the word allow?our daughter to hobnob with the sons of Harry Symone. who is . the richest man in town and. who can trace his family back at [ least to Noah, if not to Adam?" fl MABRlEl {HAS rr^s [ ^8t)T \ *Jj^.? .'p" ::^l^;- '"'''J ?j n HM ^gr -nga ^ L ORITESP^Tj 1 kinds of play, i-pom-pull-away, ^ tie rest.

E. A".) a girl such as she had been would have read them and she was glad she was changed. The night before her wedding day arrived. Her clothes were beautiful, but that did not interest her. What mockery it was to have a big wedding. she thought. Somehow her mother and father did not. seem concerned about her. They appeared to consider the affair a wonderful one for her instead of a great unhappiness. Surely they could see she was unhappy, although she had carried out the heroine's role to a finish and it from thArrj- Of. if there vra.s i only someone she could tell her troa- j bles to and receive comfort from! There was someone, the only one who would listen sympathetically, and no matter wha^. he or anyone else thought, she was going to tell him all. she decided, and went to the telephone before her courage failed her. It was a very plaintive and meek voice that Sanford Ross heard over the wire. "Please come. Sanford. I want you." was all it said, but he recognized it as Geraldine's, and that was enough. Hp arrived at the O'Connor home in record time. She did not mind when he took her troubles on his shoulder. "Oh I am so unhappy, and being a heroine is the worst thing I ever tried to do! ! hate sacrifices and I was never meant for a martyr!" she wialed. "Of course you weren't dear, and I! knew it all aiong. but you've heen a i iittle brick." he comforted. "If I had known ycu would have taken it so seriously I would not have allowed your father to play this trick on you. I am all to hlame, Jerry dear. It is all my fault." "Tour fault. Sanford?" She stonned i robbing and looked at him in wonder. "Yes. T am the man yon would have met at the altar tomorrow. I ; knew I would never be able to get you there until you were satisfied by making some kind of a sacrifice." "But father told me " "He didn't tell you very much. i dear," her father said, as he stepped into the room. "He just told'you one little fib and you took the rest for granted." i "Two fibs, father." she corrected, smiling through her tears. "You said I had never met him. and it would : save you from a great unbapiness.'' I "So it will," hre father smiled. ! knowingly. "I Itnew you loved Sanford. and it would have made me unhappy if you had rejected him because of a silly little notion about heroines i and such things^ But you have been a heroine. Jerry!" "Not much of one." It was surprising how quickly her appearance had i changed, for she-was smiling radiantly. "Oh. wouldn't I have looked foolish when I found you at the altar waiting for me, San ford?" She was able ot laugh for the first time otday. " "Would you have?" Then I am glad I came tonight. Tomorrow you will look wonderful?the way yon always look." "Oh, I hope so." she said enthusiastically as she rang for her maid. "I will send for my dress.
