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. There
Is au adsge. however, which win In
vented to rover such cases, and It does
way with all criminality. It is "Ali a
sir In m and war." Why love and
war, which are tha antipodes of trh
other, should Nt brought under the
