FORCE OF HABIT.
By GRACE LINCOLN.
I.
Early Raptdlo was always ahead of time ,
usually one hour. When be was a baby be
would awaken from hl naps before ho was
expected to , not that Infants are reliable as
to the hour of their waking and sleeping ,
but , for Instance , If ho opened his eyes at
' 2 the first day , la was 1 the day after , 12
1 ( he next , and BO on. From the tlmo Early
wont to school , ho arrived before the doors
worn open , and moro than once , on cold
Vlntor mornings , was nearly frozen whllo
waiting for some ono to let him In.
His parents tried all sorts of means to re
strain Early , and the following Is an example
of their success. Ono night Mr. Hapldlo put
a handcuff on ono of the son's wrists , nnd
fastened a chain from It to a ring secured to
the bedpost ) . Ho retired with the Idea that
on the following morning when he came
flown to breakfast ho would not see Early
ktandlng In the doorway of the dining-
room. After A refreshing night's sleep the
head of the house was awakened by a
clanging rattling sound on the stairs. He
rushed out of hla room nnd saw Early dls-
ftppcar through the hall with the chain , pad-
look and bedpost dangling after him.
"How In nil possessed did you gut away ? "
Bhoirtcd Mr. Knpldto.
"I did It with my little hatchet , father , "
cheerily replied the truthful boy.
Barly grew up and went to college. His
carllness afforded much amusement for
his fellow-students , but after nwhllo they
became accustomed to his being an hour
ahead of any ono clso , and beside , they
found him most useful In buying tickets for
fcall games. Owing to his eccentric habit ,
ho was first In line and would get any num
ber of scats for his friends.
,
be taken up for addressing the wrong
Klrl. "
Then he explained to her how he had been
left to wait for her , and of his mistake.
From that day Early and Lily met often ,
but If the meetings wcro sweet they were
decidedly short. Early would arrive at a
social gathering an hour ahead ot time , and
Lily got there an hour after every one
r > lsc. AB Early was first to come , so ho was
first to leave , and could only catch a fleeting
Kllmpso of Lily.
As tlmo passed , and the meetings con
tinued to admit of but a passing word or
two , Early was In despair as to when ho
would over bo with her long enough to
propose. Wherever ho went ho thought
of how he courd eay the wordi quickly
enough.
"I love you. " or "marry me. "
Late ono afternoon he boarded a cable car.
It was crowded , and Early was jammed
against thedoor.Justlnslde. As the car jerked
backward and then forward It throw a young
woman who had got on violently against
him. He looked down nnd saw it was Lily
Latlly. In a breathless , hurried voice ho
whispered In the ear that was pressed
against his lips :
"I love , marry me. "
The next moment fhe had rlghtod herself
and nodded her head. He took her arm and
helped her off the car , then rushed across
the Bfreet and Into a Jeweler's store , where
ho bought her a sparkling solitaire.
Early wished to bci married the next week ,
but Mrs. Latlly would not listen to such nn
arrangement.
"Lily Is my only daughter , " she said ,
"and four months from the day of your on-
gaeemcnt Is the earliest date I will even
consider. "
tN ) ROUNDING THE CORNER , HE RAN INTO THE END OF SOMETHING WHICH
HIM TCI ICKATJT.V nntlUT.Ii' TTT >
The first tlmo bo was asked to a dinner
party , the father of his hostess , coming
borne , found him standing on the steps out-
eldo. Never having heard of Enrly's cus
tom , ho concluded a mistake had been made
ns to the hour ot dinner In bis invitation.
Fapa , therefore , hurried through his toilet
nd entertained his daughter's guest until
that young lady made her appearance. After
that he was asked an hour later than other
people bidden to n feast or function.
About this tlmo Early ewallowcd a germ ,
* 'hlch produced a disease called love , from
vhlch there was no escape. The cause of all
his blissful suffering was a young woman by
the name of Lily Latlly. A rcsumo of this
woman's history will show the unhappy situ
ation of young Unpldto. Lily Latlly had
Uovor been known to be on 'time. All her
life she bad boon late to meals , late to
chool , and nftor she had grown up and
taken her place on the society rush line , she
tad caused her friends much annoyance by
her tardy appearance at places where sbo
wan invited. People could never be seri
ously provoked with Lily , for after keeping
pome otic waiting an hour , she would como
hishlng up nnd begin to tell some Incident or
story In such a charming way that she who
bad been wiggling llrst on ono foot , and then
on the other , would bo laughing gaily after
being In her company five minutes.
Early ruot Lily one day at a picnic. As
Usual he was an hour ahead of the party ,
and tbey arrived , all but Lily , just In tlmo
to take the boat up the river. The steamers
ran every hour , and as Early was such a
patient waiter some ono suggested that ho
Should stay behind nnd bring Miss Latlly
up on the next boat.
"H will be a case of two extremes meet
ing , " one smiling damsel afllrrurd.
Enrly was willing -to wait , but as the
steamer moved awny from the wharf he re
membered ho had never seen Miss Latlly.
Ho shouted to , the ( others , but they pre
tended not to hear , or thought it an excel
lent Joke for Early Raptdlo and Lily Latlly
to meet in such an unconventional way.
Barly bad never heard that Lily Latlly
was an hour late , wherever she went , so
kept his eye out for any young woman who
might bo looking anxiously for friends. At
length bo saw such a ono , carrying a largo
valise , -coming around the corner ot tbo
lock.
"U must bo she , " ho said to himself , nnd
gallantly rushed forward to take her bag.
"Allow mo to carry It for you , Miss Latlly ,
wo are to join the rest ot the party by the ,
next boat. " As Early finished liU little
speech he put his band on the valise.
"Not If I know It , " broke In a stout
woman , puffing after the girl. She jerked
the bag from him , nnd that article of bag-
Rage , having a weak lock , burst open , and
th contents rolled hither nnd thither. Early
endeavored to mutter apologies for bis mis
take , and succeeded In running pins Into hla
fingers , and pinching his thumb with curling
tongs whllo helping to put the things back
into the bag. Seeing It useless to try to
mollify the mother ot the girl , to whom he
bail spoken , ho jammed his hat over bis
eyes , and hurried from the scene ot his unfortunate -
fortunate encounter.
On rounding the corner , ho ran Into the
rn < I of something which caused him to nearly
double up. U proved to be a parasol , and
the owner displayed a pair of laughing
brown eyes , above the rim of her sunehado ,
and began to explain her haste. Early forgot -
got the gnawing sensation the blow had
Riven him , and stretching his hand over the
tiilsslle , of torture , be cried out :
You are Miss Latlly ? "
"Quito correct , but how did you know
me ? "
" 0 , never mind that now , only I'm to take
you to the picnic by the next boat ; but for
ptoodncsa tvako don't go that way , " aa sha
( Urted to round the fatal corner , "or I may
The day was set and preparations went on
on a most extensive scale.
The best man and the 'maid of honon had
mutually agreed that Early should not ap
pear at the altar until tbo noon hour and
that Lily should bo punctual to the minute.
Doth of these officials were persons whoso
minds were evenly balanced and they
thought the habits of Lily nnd Early most
unreasonable. They hel-1 long consrltatlons
together and as the eventful day approached
boa felt confident that , at last , the brldo
and groom would tick at the same minute
with the rest of the world.
The day of the wedding dawned bright ,
clear nnd sprlng-llko. The best man was
obliged to go for the minister , but ho had
spemt several minutes impressing upon
Early the fact that ho must not leave the
house for three-quarters of nn hour nt
least , and that he , the best man , would bo
waiting for him In the ante-room of the
church. Early' seemed in no hurry ant ]
cheerfully agreed to all ho proposed.
The maid of honor hsrself superintended
the dressing of Lily nnd saw that she was
ready In ample time. Then she drove to tha
church with the bridesmaids , leaving Lily
standing In the hall waiting to follow in
the next carriage.
The best man bad to wait for the min
ister and did not reach the church until
ten minutes before 12. He rushed into the
room where he expected to find Early. It
was empty ! Ho looked through a small
opening between the curtains , which sepa
rated him from the church proper , and his
heart sank within him , for there , in full
view of the incoming friends and relatives ,
stood Early ! To all outward appearances
the groom was as calm ns If ho werol wait
ing on n corner for n car.
The best man consulted with the minister.
"It isn't right to leave him there alone ,
but If I Join him I shall act like nn Idiot ,
oml I'm fully convinced he will never re
treat until Miss Latlly arrives. "
"It Is a strange case , surely , " murmured
the minister. "The only 'thing for you to
do Is to wait for the bridal party , nnd Join
him as they approach.
The majority of the people who had been
asked to the wedding expected It would bo i
I different from any other they had ever at-
I tended , and after they had been In the
church a few minutes they became no
I customed to Bceluc Early Rapldlo standing
! nlono at the altar , facing them.
Immediately after his friend , the best rnnn , ,
had left him , Early had caught up his hat
and gloves aud had dashed from the house.
Upon arriving at the church bo had walked 1
sedately in nnd bad taken up his position !
in front of the altar , like a general who '
will never leave the Hold until bis mission i
Is accomplished.
At 12 , precisely , the bridesmaids arrived I
at the church. They turned to see If Lily
was behind them , but sbo wax not there.
They entered tbo vestry and could hear :
the choir slnelnc from within.
"We'll have to go in tn about flvo
minutes , " whispered one usher to another ,
"as the singing will stop , and something
must bo done to support Rnpldlo ; ho has
been there nearly an hour now. "
The wedding party formed themselves in l
line and waited anxiously for tbo bride. As
the singing ceased tbo two ushers In front ,
thinking they had received a signal to '
start , walked slowly up the aisle to tha >
strains of "Lohengrin. " They thought tht
rest ot the procession was behind them , and 1
did not realize tbey were alone until they r
reached the steps leading to the altar , when t
upon turning they saw tholr position. They '
remained where they were , however , aud ap
parently were not disconcerted.
Uy the starting of the first two ushers a
.
plan was rapidly developed In some ono o 1 |
thn bridal party's hoaiU. The organist was s
notified , and once more the wedding march
was played , As the opening chords were
again heard tno other ushers went up tbo
aisle. This was rcocated until the eight
ushers two at a tlmo and the four brides
maids , also two by two , walke.i calmi > up
to the chancel ratline. Then the march was
played again and the maid of honor ap
peared alone. The case was desperate , but
the assembled people must bo kept quiet , and ,
she came bravely on.
The be t man hud long since been deserted -
sorted by the minister , who felt It his duty
to take hU place , as the first two ushers
appeared. Left alone behind the curtain ,
be bad worked himself up Into n terrible
fidget. When bo saw the maid of honor
come In alone- , however , he rushed out and
stood by Early's side. People afterward remarked - i
marked that ho was the only agitated one
In the whole party.
till this tlmo Enrly had stood like a statue.
The coming in of the bridesmaids and
ushers had not disturbed his serenity.
At this moment tihcro was a commotion
at the entrance ot the church. The wedding - I
ding march pealed forth again , vibrating
through the edifice , as Lily , leaning on the
arm of her father , and wearing a diamond I
sunburst , t'ho gift of the groom , majestically , j
nnd as If she were on time , sailed grandly .
up the aisle. |
There were signs of returning llfo In
Early. Ho hastily led his bride to the altar.
The ceremony began , the minister had
reached the words :
'If any person BOO just cause why" when
Early began to back away from the nltsxr.
Ho kept firm hold of Lily's hand , The tuald
of honor snatched up Uie brldo's train ; the
best man , nervously clutching the ring , kept
as close to Early as possible ; the minister
walked facing them , and spoke as rapidly
as ho could ; and the bridesmaids and ush
ers followed. Mr. Latlly gave hla daughter
away nt the first pew , then ho slipped into
the scat beside his wife.
Thus the whole bridal party became a
moving body , keeping step to Che minister's
voice. Half way down the aisle the ring
waa put on , and as the bride and groom
reached the threshold ot the church the
blessing was pronounced.
Early conducted his wife to the carriage ,
and they drove t'o Latlly's house , to re
ceive the congratulations of their friends.
As the best man and maid ot honor were
refreshing themselves with chicken cro
quettes , at the reception , nho mournfully
confided to him.
"I confess myself beaten. If a girl Is
behindhand up to the day of her marriage ,
she will bo on thnt day. "
"Yes , " ho replied , "and If a man has al
ways been ahead of everyone else , bis best
man can't restrain htm on his wedding
day. "
They both agreed thcro would bo a differ
ence of time between the Hnpldloo , even
until death.

Nothing pulls down a woman's strength like ntrvoiunus.
Her face becomes haggard and full of disfiguring lines. The
form loses its roundness. Beauty fades away , and of the former
self only a wreck remains. Nervous women are easily scared.
They "fly to pieces" at the slightest provocation. A little
noise startles them. After a while , fainting spells and hysteria
come on. The trouble is nearly always due to some derange
ment in the organism of womanhood. A little ailment there
makes a deep effect upon the nerves. Wine of Cardui cures ner
vousness by correcting the cause by strengthing the ailing
organs , stopping drains and building up the whole system. It
