"The wedding!" Jack had forgotten that old Tom was to be married next month. Something seemed to whirl around In his bead as his glance fell upon the girl's left hand, where a large diamond sparkled in the ight. With an effort he remembered what would be expected of him. "Allow mé to wish you happiness," he said stiffly. "I shall renew my congratulations when I next see Tom. "Won't you sit dowh, Mr. Town- send?" she asked. For a very short time he hesitated.

The girl who came first wore a long white cloak, and the face peeping from beneath the droop- ing plumes of her bat was the pl- quant face of his little locket lady, and the man who followed her down the nisle, visibly shaking white rice from his coat and bat as he came, was un mistakably--Tom! They passed without recognition and took an opposite sent. Inwardly rag- ing, Jack vainiy tried' to solve the mystery. Could it be possible that bis friend bed fallen captive to the charms of this demure maid and while still betrothed to the fair Adella bad mar- ried her the very night preceding that named for his long planned wed- ding? This, under the circumstances, seemed to be the only reasonable con- clusion, aon just as Jack reached ft: Tom leaned over and topelie® hinr on so Townsend sulkily obeyed. "This is Adella's. friend Miss Gren- ville," he beard Tom saying, and a be- wildering, smiling vision seemed to float uncertainly before him for a mo- ment. "Tom," he asked deliberately, "did I understand you to say Miss?" "Certainty," his friend replied. "Then I am going to ask a favor," Jack continued. "Go and lose yourself some place, Tommy, until we reach town. I wish a confidential talk with Miss Grenviile." The obliging Tom rose with rity. "I'll be in the smoker," he-ealled back. The girl raised her eyebrows in mock surprise as Jack seated himself at her side. "What a strange acting person you ure!" she said. "When it comes to strange actions"-- he was beginning, and she had the grace to blush. "T hate explanations," she said; "but, if you must know, Adella and I ha been visiting q° mutual friend, and i the hurry of departure she forgot her jewelry.
