o THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, APRIL 5, 1911 THE THIRD AUTO By MIRIAM ELDR1DGE C"l vriKt.t by American Prese Aim- nation, lmi. our nnuie, sir'" akcd the clerk of the marriage license bureau. "I'dgar Clark Stewart." replied the ventlciiiaii. "Tin- lady's, please?" "Cynthia It. Cedde." The clerk filled out the license and h.nuled It to tln prospective groom, a liiiu man, who In I J down a fire dollar polil piece In lieu of a fee and drew the lady away without waiting for the change. A few days Inter the clerk asked the usual questions of a couple standing at his window. "(Jentleman's name?" Willis I. Itatbbone.' "Lady's?" "Cynthia tJeddes." The clerk looked aside at the lady. It seemed to hliu that he renieinbtired (riving a license for one of that name tiefore. Not recoguizing her face, he turned back the leaves of his book till he came to the names of Edgar Clark Stewart and Cynthia B. Geddes, no ticed the "B." In the lady's name, con cluded that It was a case of coinci dence, wrote the certificate and hand ed It to the man. "H'm!" remarked the recipient "All's well that ends well." The same morning men were at work putting up an awning before a hand some dwelling in a residential portion of the city, and In the evening guests were to assemble for the reception after the wedding of Edgar Clark Stewart and Cynthia B. Geddes. The wedding was a notable one, for the contracting parties both stood high In noclal circles, the groom was rich, and the bride's parents were also blessed with a fortune. Automobiles were In attendance to convey the bride from her home to the church, where, as had iK-en eseclally arranged, she was to meet the gruom. Miss Geddes Insisted on planning the affair to suit her own fancy, and it Is a bride's privilege to have her own way In all things per taining to hor nuptials. She declared that her father and mother should pro ceed to the church In one auto, the others In another, while she and her sister. Miss Esther Geddes, would go In a third. No one understood this whim, but no one thought of making any opposition to It. Indeed, the father and mother of the bride were only too delighted to give their daughter her own way In the matter of the wedding so long as she was yielding In marrying the man of their choice Instead of her own. Mr. Geddes had worked bard for the fortune he had accumulated, and It Is a well known fact that wealth assimi lates with wealth. Mr. Stewart could match the pile of his father-in-law ex pectant. At the door stood three autos. Into the first Mr. Geddes handed la his wife, then got In himself. Into the aecond entered two of the bride's aunts and a younger brother. Into the third atepped the bride and her slstwr. Usage required that the order and the dls Iosltlon of persons be reversed, but the little procession started as stated. The first auto drew up at the church, and the second auto did the same. But where was the third? Mr. Geddes ateped out on to the sidewalk and handed out his wife and looked about for his daughters. Fie sent the others present Into the vestibule of the church and waited outside. If he had waited till the arrival of the third auto he would have been there to this very day. But the third auto. The procession had no sooner started than It began to lag. At every street crossing the chauffeur seemed disposed to give place to all vehicles In his path. Final ly, after quite a lengthy halt, starting up, at the next corner he turned aside and. lMng well out of sight of the au tos in front, put on speed. There was a sputter, and the auto dashed away, leaving behind a fine odor of old lamps. Half an hour later this third auto drew up before a parsonage ten or fif teen miles from the church where the wedding was to have taken place. The chauffeur handed the bride and her sis ter out, the three went hito the par sonage, and the chauffeur handed, a marriage license to the parson. It read Willis I. Rathbone and Cynthia Geddes. A nd so It was that while the gentle man of the first license was waiting at the churh for his bride the gentle man of the aecond license was wedding the lady In a different part of the town. When the bridal party returned from the church and Mr. Geddes was telephoning to the jdlce of the disap j.eararice of a bride on the way to her wedding Mls Geddes Junior rode up to the house In the third auto and r-l-.rted that her sister had been k!d unped by the chauffeur. Mr. Geddes fumed and swore that he w.uld never forgive his daughter and II that, but when she returned from the honeymoon he thought better of It and gave her his Messing. Now. ther is no Intention to recount this affair as tlng Justifiable. It d--nd upon the standout from which ine lookn at elopements, especially where one lover Is left In the lurch, w hether If la Justifiable or not.
