(Copyright, 1911. by Associated Uterary
Press.)
"Let's go to ' Mr. . Grieve," . urged a
voice outside Edward Lawson 'a door.
It was a very humble door, since he
was junior partner in the great law
firm of Grieve, Field & Morrison.
' "No,", replied another voice, .which
he was sure he recognized, "we'll go
in here. ...Edwy Law son will know as
well as anyone." ,
Lawson rose precipitately to greet
Jean Melbourne, her mother, and Fer-
dy Van Sluyck, Jean was ravishing,
though her eyelids showed evidences
of recent tears.
"Oh, Edwy," began Jean, plaintively.
"we're in the worst trouble! And we
want you to help us out."
Van Sluyck moved stiffly In bis
chair. Mrs. Melbourne did not seem
desolated. .
"We've been such sillies," con
tinued the girl, "I can't see 'why we
didn't think"
"What is it?" Anxiety sharpened
lEdwy's voice a bit.
"You tell, mother," urged Jean.
Mrs. Melbourne smiled.' "No, Jean;
you must tell him yourself."
"Well, Edwy," began Jean, plaiting
her handkerchief. "I have a house
party of girls. There are eight of us.
And last night we decided to put on
a play impromptu, you know.
"We borrowed a paper-backed novel
from the cook, 'A Wild Wedding
Morn," and Nell Chatters assigned the
parts. Really, it was funny. We didn't
know what any character was going
to say, and we had to think up an
swers on the spur of the moment to
keep things going.
. "I was the persecuted heroine be
cause I have light hair; persecuted
.heroines are always blonde. The
"wild wedding morn' was the climax
of the third act; so of course we had
'to have a wedding. .
"Ferdy had been up to see papa on
"business and was going through the
ball Just as we were setting the stage
In the parlor. The girls dragged him
In; they said it would be much more
realistic to have a man for that scene."
She paused and looked at Lawson.
"I see." The young attorney swal
lowed miserably. ..
"We had the ceremony, with Ferdy
as bridegroom " " '
"And now some one has told yon
ID
that a mock wedding, properly wit
nessed. It's binding in this state." -.-
"Why, yes," agreed, the girl In sur
prise.-'
"I've heard of such cases before." '
"What we want to know, Mr. Law
son," asked the complacent Mrs. Mel:
bourne, "Is whether the ceremony is
really binding."
"I don't know yet,? sighed Edwy.
He turned to Jean. ''What sort of
rigmarole did you go through with?"
"Polly Pearson acted as the min
ister,' replied the girl, "and what she
said sounded natural."
Lawson's heart swooped down
through, limitless depths of despair,
like a broken aeroplane. Polly Pearson-
was . the. sister .of the Episcopal
minister and bad been witness at: a
hundred weddings. Doubtless she had
the wedding service- letter-perfect. "
t '.'You made the; proper answers. Van
Sluyck?" asked the attorney.
. "I did." returned that young man.
"It was a very foolish thing to. do,"
remarked Lawson.
Van Sluyck colored hotly. "We are
not all lawyers," he retorted, loftily,
and Edwy hated him.
"Then it's legal?" queried Jean, anx
iously. "I'm afraid it Is; the law is Joke
proof. It takes no account of the
spirit in which the words of the mar
riage service are uttered so long as
they are uttered."
Jean was pale. She looked from
her mother to Ferdy and back again.
"What a bpther!" she sighed. "And
well have to go into court, and all
that!" . t
The complacent Mrs. Melbourne
glanced keenly at her daughter for a
moment. "Is it such a terrible thing,
Jean the ceremony,. I mean? Anoth
er a formal one "
Van Sluyck leaned forward eagerly
n his chair. "I don't think , it's a
calamity, Jean. You know how I feel
how I've always felt."
Jean stole a peep at Edwy Lawson
from under her long eyelashes. He
wrs digging vicious holes in his desk
blotter. ..
"I don't . know," , she sighed.- - "I
couldn't think .what to do until I was
sure the law. called it a- marriage"
Mrs. Melbourne rose. She was posi
tively beaming. "Thank you bo much,'
Mr. Lawson. Mr. Melbourne will send
you a check. Come, dear." '
.. Ferdy, caressing an .. insufferable
little mustache, was also beaming.
Edwy felt like biting him. " '
"Mind; I don't say positively this
ceremony is binding," 'he said , wick
edly. "I would have to know all the
circumstances ; ' and,' ' come ' to think
of it, there is a supreme court decision
of 1876 that has a bearing on certain
jnock marriages. ' I will look that uli
and .call tonight to let you know,'' he
.finished, boldly. :: '
. "There's no hurry," began Mrs'. Mel
bourne, quickly.
"Oh, yes there is!" assured Jean,
who had been dashing her eyes with
her handkerchief. "Do come up
Edwy.?
That evening the attorney was strid
ing back and forth like a menagerie
exhibit. He and Jean, were alone in
the cozy back parlor. The lightthearted
house party was making merry else
where.
. Edwy sat down as far as possible
from Jean. He did not dare go near;
there was a subdued penslvenees
about her altogether unaccustomed
and charming. He wanted to cuddle
and to comfort her, and he hadn't the
right, or the money to give him the
Tight.
- "Well," he began, as cheerfully ac
possible, "the '76 decision has noth
ing to do with your case. The cere
mony is legal and binding."
,' Jean sighed and looked down at
her intertwined fingers. "Oh, well,'
she said, gently, "I don't know that
it makes much difference. Every
Tjody's delighted Ferdy and his moth
r and my mother "
"I thought your mother was," re
marked Lawson.
"You did?" 1
"Yes, I did; Van Sluyck hasn't any
thing but money. He's a catch."
."Why, Edwy!" There was an in
jured look in her dewy eyes.
'- "And so are you delighted," ' he
charged, harshly. "He can give you
a flock of automobiles, and a forty-
room house. Bah, money, money,
money! It's the only thing that counts
nowadays."
; She bridled. "You shouldn't talk so,
Mr. Lawson. I have a perfect right
.to abide by the law."
"You haven't!" Edwy'a voice was
sharp with misery. . "That marriage
must be annulled."
, "Must be annulled why?"
"Because I want you myself and
I'm going to have you."
. He gathered her hands to his breast,
and kissed the pink palms.
. Jean- swayed toward him. "Oh,
Edwy," she whispered, "I was afraid
you were never going to say it!"
- After a while, some minutes or
maybe hours later, Jean remarked
demurely: I really don think an an
nulment is necessary, Edwy. You
Bee, when Polly asked me If I'd love,
honor and obey Ferdy, I dldnt say
Yes.''
"Yon didn't!" ccrled Edwy excit
. f "1 , said, '"So, nevefr T wouldn't
.promise to obey any man.'
Affectionate mirthfulness bubbled
up in Edwy Si eyes. "Yon little sea
.lawyer, you! That really does put
'.the whole thing In the catalogue of
Jokes." "But," he continued, shrewd
ly, . "why didnt : you tell me that in
the office this afternoon?"
Her burrowing movement fixed a
few more, grains of rice powder In the
shoulder of his coat. : "Because 1
wanted to tell you here! she whis

' Magic of Dickens. .

changed -the human mind,' altered the

and modified the affections of the hu

moved to tears, we are loath to let
exaggeration filch our laughter, w

Guillotine for Soldier Murderers.
The senate yesterday passed a bill
under which soldiers or sailors sen
tenced to death by a court martial
will henceforth be guillotined instead
of being shot, except in cases where
the offence is one which comes di
rectly under military law. This bill
was brought In after the murder some
months ago of Mme. Gouin by sol
diers, one of whom, Graby, was sen
tenced to death. His sentence was
eventually commuted to one of life
imprisonment, it being deemed inad
visable to ask men doing compulsory
military service to form a firing party.
The chamber of deputies passed the
bill. Petit Parisien.

ELKS CANT EAT ELK MEAT
When They Tried ' It In California a,
. Game Warden Made :
t a Raid. .. . ,.;
One hundred and twenty Elks gath
ered at the Elks' lodge at San Rafael
the other night to banquet on elk
meat, hut a game warden descended
upon the club, confiscated and .bore
away the savory, steaming, well
cooked elk meat, and the Elks were
forced to dine on beef. It was to be
a great celebration in honor of L. F.
Douglas and John J. Deane, mighty
hunters. , , ;
Douglas and Deane had brought
back 67 pounds of delicious elk meat
from their recent Wyoming elk hunt.
Two hundred and fifty invitations
were sent, and the cooks converted
the delicious meat into savory steaks
and roast. The banquet was sched
uled for 7 o'clock. v.
Deputy Game Warden Hunter en
tered the lodge at 6:30 o'clock, as the
Elks were chuckling over the savory
odor of the cooked meat which per
meated the lodge.
"You may have Elks In your lodge,"
said Hunter, displaying his badge of
office, "but, my sirs, elks is deer, and
it is closed season for deer in Cali
fornia, and therefore you cannot eat
elk." And forthwith he carted away
the banquet food. A makeshift ban
quet on beef followed, but most of the
Elks wept home dissatisfied. -San

DULLS EDGE OF COMPLIMENT
But Amateur Musician Bravely Re
frained From Making Explanation
to Young Lady.
Every evening for three weeks twin
brothers had been practicing for an
amateur band concert. . One twin,
Joseph, played a cornet, and the other,
Joel, operated on the violin. Meeting
young woman, Joseph asked her if
She would attend the musical feast.
"Yes," she said, "and I think it will
be very nice Indeed. I've heard you
and your brother . practicing. That
symphony of yours last night on the
cornet was - exquisite."
Unfortunately the keen edge of this,
compliment - was dulled, because Jo
seph recalled that he had not played
a cornet on the previous night. ' He
had practiced on a trombone; but
bravely refrained from making an ex
planation. "And there was another piece that
caught my fancy," the young lady con
tinued. "It seemed -like . a Wagnerian
extract, Do you also play a saxo
phone?" "No;, miss," was the amateur's ad
mission. .
"I wonder what was the other instru
ment 1 heard last night?" :
"I can't say positively, but if it
was about nine o'clock, I think broth-,
ex .Joel was. . either putting a ,.new
string on his violin or tuning the old
piano." .
General Invitation.:
One morning Miss Lucy Halcomb,
the most fastidious housekeeper .in
Bushby, who . was reported- to have
washed an unfortunate grand-nephew,
into a decline, opened her front door,,
having heard strange noises on, the,
piazza. ':'
There stood a tramp, his shoes cak
ed with mud, which he was scraping
off. wjith a knife and kicking off by
alternate applications of. his heels on
her door-mat.
'"What 'are you doing?" demanded
Miss. Lucy, indignantly. '.
"Doing!" echoed the tramp. "1 was
starting round to the kitchen to ask
the young lady I saw hanging out
your clothes if she'd hand me a bite
of breakfast. Then I thought I didn't
make a very good appearance, and I
was about to go on to the next house
when I saw this mat with the invita
tion, 'Please use this Mat,' right on
it, so I stepped up here. In about five
minutes more I'll look well enough so
I can go round to the kitchen."
. "Well!" said Miss Lucy. "Well!"
and then she closed the door, being
unable to think of any appropriate re
marks. -Youth's , Companion. '
Jewels of Indian Princes.
Some of the Indian princes possess
Jewels which would put those of Ab
dul Hamid in the shade. At the 1U3
durbar the blaze of gems surprised
even the Indians themselves. The
Maharajah of Darbhanga was wearing
a diamond necklace which had cost
90,000, and was considered a bar
gain at that. Besides a necklace of
13 - rows of perfectly matched pearls
as large as filberts, the Maharajah of
Gwallor disported a sash depending
from his left shoulder to his right
knee, the material of which was com
pletely hidden by similar stones. An
other rajah carried a sword-hilt cut
from a single emerald, and in the tur
ban of the Nizam of Hyderabad was
the Nizam diamond, which weighs 277
carats, or more than twice as much as
the Koh-i-Noor.
