propriety. I haJ aanouao6d my in ten* < I lion to have an extraordinary trousseau, i and this being a point on which aunt i could fool wilh mo, tho next four month were pleasantly spent in shopping and sowing, Nurcr in our lilUo j town had there been aocn such dozens < of elegantly trimmed undergarments, ; aonh lingerie, such hosiery, such mora* lng drcutct and oveniog costume, inch , wonderful boots and alippcn and Jewelry. AYe had tittlo receptions everj . al* tcrnoon before tho wedding, and my I wardrobo was Lid out in the best bodroom for comment and inspection. I It was about thb timo tlia&titopben I Barker said to mj ancle: "I and art land [ Frances ha» 325,000. I wish her to havo I tt »o settled on iieraelf, and for her own I abaoloto aao, that I propose, Mr. Miles, 1 if you are willing, to add $10,000 to it, I and bay for her thb Stanford estate.

I must stato lioro that. I oppoard J as atrongly as I thooght right Stephen'# 1 gift of #10 000, and his labeequcnt out* I lay of #1,000 cm furniture, but bolli I uncle and aunt said that Uro settlement I wa* small enough for a man of his I means, and that it would be affectation I to oppose it. And really Stephen man-"" I aged the who!* affair wilh saeh fatherly | kindness and though Unices* that I I could not bear to oppose him.

At length tho wodding day drew near. It had been arranged fcr Wednesday morning, po were to Iosto for New York Immediately after tho ceremony. Cousin Jose, who had proper od himaelf to look down cn all tho world from tho pnipit, was lo perform the ocrcmouy. Thi* showed in Jose a very Christian jplnt, seeing that ho had once locked oa me and my $25,000 with affection, and I had not appreciated tho honor. However, ho forgavo mo at this in teres tlag epoch, and camo benignly to blcsa my venture. He brought me a* a present a black onyx seal ring, on which wa# set a cross in seed pearls. Ho bad offered mo it ono© before, with hli affections and Ma manse, and I had then refused it, I look It this time. It helped to swell the list of my pros* cats, and they certainly made a goodly •how. First there wa* the B lam ford relate from my father and Stephen Barker, and tho settled bllL for 81,000 worth ol new furniture which Stephen hal

sent to mike the old rooms pretty and I oomforLble. Undo gsvo mo a act of laOver and aunt some china wbioh I < I j/mV ©are to send to Blamr^rd before my Iweddlag day, Mj cousin* and aunts j I and friends gavo me all aorta of Jewelry I r*'i prelty personal khlcknacks, and I these I carefully packed in a half-dozen j I trunks which were already corded and ] I directed two daji before the marriage j I . i I For Stephen had proposed to send all 1 my trunks to our New York j J hotel two days before xwo left, , I la order thai we might havo no concern i about them, and that I might be sure ■ | to hare all- 1 wanted on my si rival. I , I opposed this plan at drat, but aunt wB , I "it was' eminently proper and thoughtI fuhw Bo ail my wardrobe except my I valillng-drou and a travelling suit arI rived ft the Fifth - Avemta hotel, No* I York, oa the lait day of my maiden | life, " " I * Norman Blrong oalled that night, and I was ia* remarkably high iplrit*.

The first thing X did waa I to pack my wedding drew ia as small I oo tap*** as possible, and then put oq I my traveling oostume. This done, I sat I doynlirtfi© dark, . About 1 o'clock X I I heard the signal I watched for, • I went leofily downstairs, unlocked the back [door and walked out -Norman .was I there. We did not apeak until we were ' I outside the grounds. There a buggy I waited, and w# drove rapidly to a main I I Line about three mflca oft Here we

caught the 2 o'clock express and were **fo In Now York and very respectably married by 10 o'clock. My trunks, < which had srrivixi tho day befuro, wcro I { then rodiroclod foe "Washington, and I J after a dcliciooa little wodding break- 1 1 fiat— all by ouraolvo*— wc left for that 1 ] | In tho meantime thoro was troublo j enough in Miiford. Oar flight was not ( diaoavcrcd till near b o'clock, and then j 1 Uucio Miles sent word at onoo to Btcph* 1 1 cn Barker, who secluded himself for 1 that day entirely. My aunt and ooaiin's chagrin and disappointment wcro vcr7 I great; lu fact when I considered the] amount of condolcnoo of goasipi they I would Jiavc to codoro, 1 felt that for all tho slights aud toorns of mj anlorod J girlhood I could cry quits. And I got 1 my fortune also, and Norman and 1 were so ootopletcly happy !• Wo had not a | care for Stephen had given liim a $500 1 bill aud a mouth's holiday, and told us lo got all tho pleasure w© noold out oi IL Wo obcyod Mm implicit/. Doriog that month thing* settled j Jown a little. I did not expect to be forgiven all at onoo, and 1 was not ; but I than was in a j>osition sot to worry | particularly about it. Wo returned I very quitcly, aflcr^dark ©no Mght, very I much like two children who hare played truant all day and creep homo at night fall with as little ostentation a a possible. Bat at Btandford Hall everything had been prepared for my oomfort. The [ Arcs were blaring, the gas lighted, asd I an excellent supper walling. The next 1 morning Norman went back lo hi* desk, J and Stephen took do more notice of his 1 return than H he had never left it. People who had been speculating about his losing his position know in flro minutes that there would be no change. And every ono took his lone from Stephen. We were treated very much like two children who had been forgiven, and whoso fault wo* not to be thrown □p to them.

That wu the way men took 11, and ] \ Norman protended to bo satisfied. Tho 1 < women acted with a great deal more in- [ ' telligenoo, They all came to see ms, I , and though I did not give them *11 1 , credit for tho very kindest of motives, ; I made them all welcome. 1 told them about mj wedding trip and showed them I ' my now things, and I dare say tho men j talked everything over with thorn aflerward. [ Bat what most puxloi everybody was I that Slophen Barker came so often to 1 see us, and wa* to friendly wilh Norman. Some thought It very meansplrllcd In [ him, other* remembered that when he [ wm very young he had lovod my mother I very dearly. Etsu thoao who apoke I kindly of him did not giro him oredi for half tho noble unselfishness he had I shown ; for he would not let me tell aay I one that it waa ho himself who had I planned svrrjlhing about my property and my wedding, "Juat let thorn say you jilted me, I

France*, if they please to do sol W© I mow bolter, and we will keep our tc* J cret until Undo Mile* comes round." I Aunt and uncle both camo "round | than wo expected. ^Yhtn it waa 1 mown that Stephen spent so much of Ms time with us, 'Aunt Milo* considered the id vantages of baring her daughter* j brought familiarly in ooa t sot with him, | and for their sake* tho came to sec mo and gars me tho kiss of reconciliation. But as far as catching Stephen's heart "in the rebound" waa concerned, | she waa just a little too late, Norman's I aliler, who waa a teacher In one of tho I publio schools of Now^York, oame to I spend her vacation with na, and titeph- 1 en fall in Iota with her in a way which I convlnocd me that Ma love fo> France* [ Halliday had only been the shadow of the fore ho had for her mother.
