There s a Big Difference
Between Making Money
And Having Money
V/ hat is the use of making money if you are
no better off at the end of the year ? Old age is
coming when your earning capacity is bound to de
crease. Better save a portion of your earnings
and let it accumulate in this strong hank for future
needs. I he 4 per cent, interest we pay will help
it to grow.

1 DAILY SHOOT STORIES
Returning from shopping, 1 opened
tuy reticule to take out some sum pies
when, to my surprise, 1 found entirely
different contents from «vtuit 1 had ex*
Imeted. In short, 1 had laid nvy own
reticule down ou a counter and pVked
up one belonging to so ms ono else.
Among the art Vie* I found Inside
was a slip of paper, on which was
written:
Deare.1 uttle Mary—Meat me at the
lountiiin tomorrow at 6 o’clock. I hava
made all arrangements. Wo will be mar
Med at the rectory and take the evening
train for It. Don’t let your fears get the
better of you. Remember. 6 o’clock sharp
1 anil be there half an hour uarlter. If
you think you had bettor come veiled
carry violets. Tour toeing i.
Tuesday.
Fifteen years before 1 bad received
Just such a note. Indeed, there was
something similar In the handwriting
of the two missives. Then 1 had mar
ried a man whom I had been obliged
i* to leave beforo the honeymoon wma
over.
A sudden thought struck me. IIuw
would It do for tiio to keep this girl's
appointment a trifle ahead of tlmo. Im
personate her, veiled and with violets?
1 could find out whether sin? was about
to wreck her futuro or marry a true
man. If tho former. I might save her.
At half past 4 I sallied forth, bought
tbo violets of a street flower vendor on
the wny and nt a quarter to entered
the square. I knew well how to as
sume a hesitating step, for I had “boon
there" before. On nearing the foun
tain. looking out for J.. 1 saw a man
looking eagerly nt the Tiolcts in my
hand, but of sn ngw moro sultablo to
on elopement with me than a young
girl. As I drew nearer something In
his face and figure appeared familiar
to mo. Then I stopped, overpowered
with astonishment.
No. I was not mistaken. Ho was tho
man who had been my liuatmnd. Fif
teen years make n marked difference
In one’s appearance, and they had
changed him moro thou they usually
change men.
I was now moro than ever bent on
playing the part. He Joined mo, and
in n whisper, as though I hnd lost my
voice through excitement. I said:
"Take me where wo can talk. I have
something to say to you.” IIo replied
that his auto was waiting on tho street
nnd led the wny there. 1 got in tho
auto, nnd ho ran it out of the town.
"I am not satisfied about Mils pre
vious morrlnge of yours." 1 sr.id.
i "Great heavens! Haven't wo gone
over that sufficiently 7 You have heard
my explanation, and tho Inst tlmo wo
met you expressed yourself entirely
satisfied."
"i aon i nk* your laying tl»© bln me
on your wife. If we were to have
trouble nml separate I suppose you
would lay nil the bln me on mo."
He fumed to look at me ns though
taken aback at my words, lie could
not see ray face for my roll, hut Ida
eyes were fixed on that ns If they
would pierce It.
"You women nr© nil alike." he «nld
presently. "We inen no sooner stand
you on your feet tbnn you fall down
Again. Here nt the lost minute you
are bringing up what I have been nt
such Infinite pnlns to settle."
"But. tell me. don't you blame herT'
"No, 1 don’t. I blame myself rather
thnn her. A newly wedded pair are
like two persons floating down n tortu
ous channel full of rocks and snags.
It Is the tnnn's part to keep his head
etid steer tho l»oHt. I supposed that
honeymoons wero always whnt the
name Implies. I found my wife a
prey to all sorts of temporary emo
tions—©no moment loving, tho next Ir
ritable. the next hesitating, the next
despondent. I should have known that

a condition to be expected—a reaction
C upon realizing that one’s fate Is Irrev
E ocnbly linked with another persona II
| ty. Besides, she wns very young. You
are ten years older than she was at
that time, and I confess I have looked
to you for more steadiness. 1 am
much disappointed."
"A woman of my age should hare
more sense thnn to ©lope."
"You know the reason for that. If
your father and mother lmd not nn ab
surd prejudice against your marrying
a divorced man we might he married
"• sensibly, as becomes our ngo.”
— "Your first marriage having been a
case of elopement. I should suppose,
considering that. It resulted disastrous
ly. you would not care to try It again."
"The elopement lias nothing to do
with either rase. Two people elect to
unite. The method of their doing so
Is a mere matter of sentiment."
There was a silence for a time—at
least nothing but the chugging of the
nuto. W* were both thinking, he
probably of the fickleness of woman.
I of how a trifle may turn the whole
j current of two lives, l-’or years I bad
I considered that I had married a brute,
i True, 1 had mourned that lie lmd turn
ed out to be such, hut I hud not doubt
ed that my interpretation of him wns
correct. And now I found him accus
ing himself of a want of tact in his
former treatment of me. his bride, and
laying no hhiiue on me whatever.

S i teyed w ithout outward signs. 1 felt
that his heart was not In this second
marriage. Possibly 1 may have judged
by something in his tone. (Mtsslhly V

years of her life to undo what she hml
done. You would then look upon your
marriage with mo as a chain of slav
ery."
He said nothing for some time.
When he did his words thrtted me:
"Candor compels me to mlnilt that
I would." (
I leaned bock on the cushion ns
though much disappointed. 1 am not
sure, but I practiced the deception of
a sigh. Ills ipood whs indicated by
the speed he was driving the machine.
I was tempted to tour off my veil and
throw my arms about his neck. But
I dart'd not. As his bride 1 had been

dle age. Another denouement to this
singular freak of fate occurred to mo.

show you that I have moro «teudlncA*
than you suppose. Como; turn about
Lot us go to the rectory.M
Without a word he turned his ma
chine, and we wops soon sp^vllng In
tho opposite direction. Neither spoke
for some time. I wondered of what
he u*ns thinking. Perliaps that lone
liness which cornea over a single man
after he has passed the heyday of
visith would now t*e ended Or was
lie thlnkliw of his bride of fifteen
years before? When we drew up at
the rectory, before alighting he said:
"There Is yet time to roconsldcr this
most important step la your life, if
you huve not perfect confidence In mo
I beg of you to withdraw before It Is
too lafe.M
"If there 1» vacillation now It Is In
you, not In nxi"
He got out of the nutp, but not with
the springy step jot n groom. 1 knew
he was swayed by two opposite cur?
rents. Whatever were his feelings, he
would not recede from the position lie
had taken.
We were received by the rector, who
had beeu expecting us for some* time.
He plnced us before n mantel, took up
his prayer book and waited for me to
fake off my veil. Blowly I unwound It
and when removing tho last fold turn
ed and looked at the groom.
lie had not seen mo slhce I wax
eighteen. Now I wna thirty-throe, but
ho knew mo at once—that is. he knew
me ns soon ns he could recover from
his astonishment. And the fact tbal
his brldo was the same os ho had
stood by years before rendered that 113
tonlshmont rather • confusion of Ideal
than a natural Impression. IIo atood
looking nt me, dazed.
"(Jwen!” ho exMnlmed nt last.
With tho two men looking at me. thr
one waiting to know what the scene
meant, the other bow I come to be
there In place of f|>e woman lie expect
ed, It was Incumbent on me to make
an explanation. T did no to the rector,
telling him briefly the circumstances.
When I had finished I turned to my
groom, wondering what expression I
would find (hero. I saw nt on<p that

It mean punishment, revenge, or would
It lend to a reconciliation? I replied
to tho question nuked by his eyes with
my lips. I gave him n amlle. With a
profound sigh of relief he turned to the
clergyman and said:

The rector seemed puzzled. Kvl

I hesitated for a moment, then said
firmly. "I will.”
Both men gave a zigli of relief.
And so It was thnt. while I wns sop

marvelous coincidence. Had not the

was hers; the man w»* mine.
I never asked my husband how he

whom he had Intended to elope. I
considered it none of rny business.
