(CopjrrWht. IS10, by Anxrlraa lYrsj Aixv-
ctntlon
One day as I was about to Kave mj
study a young couple came hurrying
In and asked me to marry theui.
S CWilke very muon to uiarry persona
a thus hurriedly about whom I know
1 DotlilnK. and In this case I especially
,4 hesitated. The man, though renins
,"! looking, as dressed la clothes more
I beJtttng a w-orkincuian than a pen
- tleinau. He was pale faced either
I from l!l health or !ecause he had not
; j teeu accustomed to the sunlight; olh
,'t erwbte lie seemed to le In pood health.
-J However, slin-e there seemed to be
no objection to my uniting them, both
3 being of age. I told them to come Into
; my study and 1 would accommodate
vj thetn. We had luiivly got inside and
the couple taken position Iwfore me
-'J when Quick footsteps were heard with

on,'
tlently.
But bef-e I could do so two men
rashed In. One of them, glancing at
the grooni expectant, said, "All right;
j we've got him." Thou to the man to
whom he referred he said, "You come
t along with me."
"What's all this about?- I asked.
4 "He's an escaped couvlct," said the
J man who had been speaking.
1 "Is that a fact?" I asked of the man
I I bad expected K marry.
"Yes," he said; "I am"
He spoke without the slightest ap
i pearance of shame or regret. The
4 lady went up to the men, who were
prison officials, at d begged them to
permit the ceremony to proceed before
taking her lover back to prison.
But you don't wish to marry a jail
bird, do you?" he replied.
"I wish to marry this man. It will
delay you only a few momenta. Come;
let the clergyman proceed."
"What do you say, Tom?" he asked
of his companion.
"It s a rum go," said the other, "but
If the young lady insists on throwing
herself away on a convict 1 don't see
I as Its any business of our"n. We've
I jot him safe enough, and two or three
minutes won't make any difference.
"All right," said the other. "Go
I ahead, parson."
I It was my turn to demur, not liking
the business of uniting a lady to any
man under such circumstances.
"I reckon she a with him," said the
offlclal called Tom. "Some one sent
4tm a saw In a cake, and I expect
he's the one that did It"
"Do go on," said the girl pleadingly.
I felt constrained to take the same
Tlew about the matter the men did
that It was none of my business, so I
yielded and married them. The girl
took out a portemonnale and gave me
j a twenty dollar bill. Then she threw
I ber arms about her felon husband's
j nec and said cheerily: "It'll be all
! tight now, dearie, we're married. I
i can now tell the whole story. I would
have done it before only you wouldn't
let me. It won't be long now, I assure
you. I won't say goodby, but only
adieu." And with several more kisses
he released him, and he went away
between his captors, each holding on
to a handcuff the prisoner wore about
his wrists. After they had gone I
gave the lady a certificate of marriage.
She was going away without it, but I
detained her.
"Would you mind explaining this
to mer I asked as she was about to
leave me.
"Not yet" she replied. "Thank you
ever so much. You don't know how
far you have been instrumental In un
tying a knot by tying one. Couldn't
you date the certificate back a year?"
"I couldn't do that," I said.
"Well, I don't know that it Is neces
sary, though It might make the rest
of It easier. Goodby. Some day you'll
hear from us."
With that she went away, looking
far happier than when she had entered.
Sli months passed, during which I
heard nothing from either of the cou
ple I had married. Then one day a
gentleman called on me whom I failed
to recognize.
"You don't remember me," he said.
"I confess I do not" I replied.
"That's not remarkable. The last
and only time I saw you I was an es
caped convict in borrowed, or, rather,
tolen, clothes. You married me be
fore I was returned to the peniten
tiary." "And may I ask how you have se
cured your freedom?"
"By a pardon from the governor.
You see, it was a case of conviction
under a misunderstanding."
"Please be seated," I said to him,
"and make your explanation."
"The matter which has puzzled you Is
very simple when you get the facts.
I courted my wife clandestinely, she
being engaged at the time to lier fa
ther's partner in business. I persuad
ed her to elope with me. The night
we were to make the elopement I went
to her house and met her at a rear
door. At the moment our egress was
cut off she admitted me to the house
and closed the door. To escape de
tection we went upstairs and Into a
bedroom. We heard some one coming.
and the girl told me to go into an ad
joining room. Her father came Into
the room I had entered and, supposing
me to be a burglar, called the police.
"I must either be content to confess
myself a thief or the girl's reputation
would be ruined. I chose the former
couine. Since my marriage my wife
has confessed the whole story to her
father, and I have been pardoned both
by him and the governor."
Before leaving me he presented me
with a check for $3,000 for a Euro
pean trip from himself and wife.

taurant next door to the Shute

teut Chef.
