Five thousand dollari a year and already, within a few months after marriage, his surplus savings had been wiped out, his salary spent. and he owed ten thousand dollars. And it was his own fault-he, the banker, his fault. It was a child he had married, a pampered, spoiled child. A perfect wife she had made him. perfect save in her extravagance. And he had not warned at the time when warning would have been easy. Now, she would take it as a reproach. Now where could he hope to raise ten thousand dollars? How could he make the six hundred dollars in his pocket over into a sufficient sum to start him anew' lie pushed the tell-tale tabulation hurriedly aside as Flo swept into the bank and sought his cage. The old thrill of delight swept other thoughts aside as he reveled in the grace, the beauty of her, drank in deep drafts of the intoxicating devotion that glowed in her eyes as they found his own. He even smiled as. in her dear. wheedling way she glowingly de scribed the beauties of a pearl neck lace, amazingly low-priced. she had i. - , He Reveled in the Beauty of Her. seen in the window of Lattimers jewe'l shop. Drum was still smiling as his (eyets followed her out of sight. then the smile disappeared as a more ment of his hands brought the fatal inventory of debts to light again. Not more closely did the closely meshed cage shut him away from those outside than his position de barred himn from raising such an amount of morley. Even as he thought of substantial m an's opini:,n of him. his brain, by some strange quip peculiar to those closely harassed. flew to Fred Wil liams-his brother-in-law. Their ac quantanice was but casual. The man was a gambler, a sporting man of a character such as would have made closer acquaintance impossible for a bank teller. Still. he had taken a liking to the man on the night of that wedding supper that hadl lasted •ll dawn. li, had noticed that the gambler touched no liquor; that he Skillfully mnianaged to handle the other Sguests ho had imbibed too freely. Sbecause, as has been said, that is the only way an autocratic power can Spreserve its autocracy.

't There are some people who attend e weddings with lust as much enthu t siasm as a baseball or tennis fan. whether they are invited or not, and a seemingly enjoy the excitement of the moment and the attendant fuss and it feathers. Ther are said to be funeral y fans. too; people who attend funerals merely out of morbid curiosity. Of course, the wedding fans are most in evidence at the big town weddings. which mark the alliance between two prominent and wealthy families, or the marriage of an American heiress to a penniles duke. They are mostly wom en, and they attend regularly all of the smart weddings. If they cannot edge their way past the sexton who takes the invitation cards, they con gregate around the street awning. and are frequently of such number as to interfere with the street pedestrians. The wedding fan, in fact. has become a highly objectionable feature at all of the large churches in the social zone. especially on Fifth avenue, and extra precautions are, strenuously ob served in order to keep them out of he £hurch.--SNew York Times.
