I_DAILY SHORT STORIES
Hof liming from shopping, I opened
my reticule to take out some samples
when, to tny surprise, I found entirely
different contents from what I had cx
pec ted. In short, 1 had lnid tny own
reticule down on a counter ntul picked
up one belonging to sotno one else.
Among the articles I found lnsldo
was a slip of paper, on which was
written:
Dearest Little Mary-Most me at the
fountain tomorrow nt 6 o'clock. I have
made all arrangements. "\Vo will be mar
ried at tho rectory and fctko the evening
*rR,n for 13. Don't let your fears got tho
’■eiicr of you. Itemembor, 6 o'clock sharp.
I will be there half an liour earlier, if
>ou think you hail better come veiled
carry violets. Your loving j.
Tuesday.
Fifteen yearn before I had received
Just such n note. Indeed, there wun
something similar in the handwriting
of the two missives. Then l had mar
ried a toan whom I had been obliged
to lenvo before tho' honeymoon was
over.
vv sudden thought fstrin-k me. Ilmv
would It do for uiefto keep this girl’s
appointment a trllhsr.heod of time, Im
personate her, veiled and with violets?
I could find out whether she was about
to wreck her future or marry u true
man. If the former jJ might savo her.
At half past 4 I sallied forth, bought
the violets of n street tlower vender on
the way and at a quarter to ft entered
the square. 1 knew xvell liovv to as
same a hesitating step, for 1 had "been
there” before. On nearing the foun
tain, looking out for .T., 1 saw a man
looking eagerly at the vioieis In my
hand, hut of an ago more suitable to
an elopement with me tlmji a young
Kiri. As I drew nearer something In
Ills face and figure appeared familiar
to me. Then 1 stopped, .overpowered
with astonishment.
No. I was not mistaken. He was the
man who had been my hmhnud. Fif
teen years make a marked difference
In one’s appearance. nnc£ they had
changed him more than they usually
change men.
1 was now more than ever bent on
playing the part. He Joined me, and
In n whisper, as though I had lost my
voice through uxcitement. I said:
"lake me where we can talk I have
Something to any to you.” He replied
that his auto was waiting on ihe street
anil led the way there. 1 got in the
auto, and he ran It out «>f the town.
"1 am not satisfied about tills pre
' lous marriage of yours.” 1 mild.
‘‘(Jrent heavens! Hiiven’t we gone
over that sufficiently? You hare heard
my explanation, and ihe last time we
mot you expressed yourself entirely
satisfied.”
”1 don’t like your Haying the Ida ms
on your wife. If we were to hnve
trouble and separate 1 suppose yon
would lay all the Idaino on me.”
lie turned to look at tne as though
taken abnek at my words. He could
not see my face for my veil, but his
eyes were fixed on that as If they
would pierce It.
"Yon women are all alike.” lie said
presently. “We men no sooner stand
you on your feet than you fall down
again. Here at. the last minute you
are bringing up wrlint I have been al
siieh Infinite pains to settle.’’
i»m. ipii me. oon i you tiinme nor .'
"No. I don’t. I bln mo myself rather
than her. A newly wedded pair are
like two persons floating down n tortu
ous channel full of rocks and snags
It is the man’s part to keep Ills head
and stiver the boat. I supposed that
honeymoons wore always what the
name implies. 1 found my wife a
prey to all sorts of temporary emo
flousone moment loving, the next Ir
ritable. the next hesitating, the next
despondent. I should have known that
this, at lenst to some temperaments, is
a condition to bo expected—a reaction
Upon realizing that one’s fate Is irrev
ocably linked with another personali
ty. Besides, she was very young. Yon
ore ten years older than she was at
that time, and I confess I have looked
to you for more steadiness. I am
much disappointed.”
**A woman of my age should have
more sense than to elope.”
"You know the reason for that. If
your father and mother had not an al>
sunl prejudice against your marrying
a divorced man wo might be married
sensibly, ns becomes our nge ”
"Your first marriage having been a
case of elopement. I 'should suppose,
considering that It result'd disastrous
ly. you w fiuld not care to try it again.”
"The elopement hns nothing to do
With either case. Twfo people elect to i
finite. The method of their doing so i
Is a mere matter of sentiment."
There was a silence for a time—at j
lenst. nothing but tho chugging of the j
auto. We ^oro both thinking, he
probably of the fickleness of woman, j
I of how a trifle may turn the whole
current of two lives. For years I had
considered that I had married a brute.
True. I had mourned that he had turn
ed out to be such, but I bad not doubt- i
ed that my Interpretation of him was
torrect. And now I found him accus
ing himself of a want of tact In his
former treatment of me. his bride, and
laying no blame on me whatever.
I believe that feelings may be con- |
teyed without outward sigas. 1 fell
-
that his heart was not In this second
marriage. Possibly 1 may have .bulged
by something In bis tone, possibly \jf
an abseuoe of desire In his words. 11s
was too rational for a lover. 1 wos- •
dered if he were uot bent on marriugs
to escape loneliness or to help him to |
bury a melancholy memory. 1 deter- *
mined to apply a test.
“You bnve been considering me vac- j
i Ulntlug." I said. "Now you seem to bo j
. undecided yourself. And ) am not 1
: quite sure but you are right. Suppose j
after we are married you should meet
your former bride. Snp|*osp she should j
i admit that In a condition new to tier,
n very young girl, she had tried your
patience severely; that she had mis
taken you; that she deplored the break
between you and her and would give
years of her life to undo whnt she bad
done. Y’oa would then look upon your
marriage with mo ns n chain of slav
ery."
Ho said nothing for some time.
When ho did Ills words tlirllcd me;
"Candor compels me to admit that
I would.”
1 leaned back on the cushion ns
though much disappointed. I am not
sure, but I practiced the deception of
n sigh. Ills mood was Indicated by
tho speed ho was driving the machine.
I was tempted to tear ofT my veil mid
throw my arms about ills neck. But
1 dared not. As IiIh bride I had been
a girl. Now I wns approaching mid
dle ago. Another denouement to this
singular freak of fate occurnsl to me.
I would go with him to tho church,
then reveal myself.
"Well,” 1 said, "It Is time that wt
stop this backing nml filling. I shall
show you that I have more stinidlness
than you suppose. Come; turn about.
Lot us go to tho rectory."
» it I ion t a worn no turned his ma
chine, and we were soon speeding In
the opposite direction. Neither spoke
for some tlnio. I wondered of wlmt
he was thinking. Perhaps that loue
Uness which comes over a single man
nfter he has passed the heyday of
youth would now be ended. Or was
he thinking of his bride of fifteen
years before? When we drew up nt
the rectory, before alighting In- said:
“There is yet time to reconsider this
most important step in your life. If
you have not jiorfect confidence in mo
I beg of you to withdraw before it Is
too late.”
“If there Is vacillation now It Is In
you, not In me.”
Tie got out of the nuto. but not with
the springy step of a groom. I knew
he was swayed by two opposite cur
rents. Whatever were his feelings, lie
would not recede from the position lie
had taken.
We were received by the rector, who
had been expecting us for some time.
Flo placed us before a mantel, took up
his prayer book and waited fur mo to
take off my veil. Slowly I unwound It
nml when removing tho Inst fold turn
ed and looked nt the groom.
lie had not seen me rlnce I wi*
eighteen. Now I was thirty-three, but
ho knew me at once—that l ». he know
me ns soon ns he could recover from
his astonishment. And the fact that
his bride was the same m« he had
stood by years before rendered that as
tonishment rather a confusion of Ideas
than a natural Impression, lie stood
looking nt me, dazed.
"Uwenl” ho exclaimed at last.
With the two men looking at me, the
one waiting to know wlmt the scone
meant, the other how I came to be
there In place of the woman he expect
ed, it was Incumbent on me to make
tin explanation. I did so to the rector,
telling him briefly tho cireuinstances.
When I had finished I turned to rny
crootn, wondering what expression I
would find there. I saw at once that
he was enger to know what would be
the outcome of this contretemps. Did
It mean punishment, revenge, or would
It lead to a reconciliation? I replied
to the question asked by hie eyes with
my lifts. 1 gave him a smile. With a
profound sigh of relief lie turned to thi
< lergyman and said:
"Proceed!“
i in* roeior seemed pnxzlcd. Evt*
dentl.v the situation flustered him; but,
being hi holy orders, with a church
man's antagonism toward innrryln*
divorced people and a church inn n’t
pleasure in reuniting those who have
he* ii separated, he was not long Iri rn
covering his equanimity, lb* looked
at me for my assent I tut lie looked
tn vain. I gave no assent. Neither
did I express dissent. Ho looked to
the groom f«»r Instructions and- doubt
le a received them, for without fur
th<*r d lay lie begnn the ceremony.
Nelthi r man was qtilto cure whn*
would lie the outcome until the qtie#
Hon was asked me. ••Will you Uik#
lids man to he your wedded hushnjidP
I hesltatrd for a moment, then sul«
firmly, "I w ill ”
Both men gave a sigh of relief.
And so It was that, while I was sop
urn ted f<*r fifteen years fYom the mar
I loved and who loved ine. by a sens#
less tiff. I was reunited to him by a
marvelous coincidence. Had i.<>t the
woman he urns to have made his «<<•<•
end wife put Ills note hi her retlcufr
and left It on a counter, hnd I m.l
take.’i It up by mistake, I would r;oi
have been In the nick of time in a oo
sifion to take what belong* d to me anti |
appropriate It to myself. The retk til* i
was hers; tlie man was mine.
I never asked my husband how h* i
explained matters to the woman wlfl *
whom he had intended to elope t
i considered It none of my Inislne*^
j Moreover, 1 was not Interested in it
But I did ask him if he did ii"t sus ^
fleet that the woman beside him in th«
auto was not the one he expected tt

hot inspect me, he felt that then* wet
