I was Mary; Gilbert waa my lover, The writing was disguised, but the longer I looked at It the more I waa convinced that tt waa a bad attempt to conceal the hand of Gilbert Merrltuau. 1 glnuc- ed at the clock. I had Just half uu hour to get to the place of tneetlug. When I reached the square the cluck la St Paul's spire stood at 3:10. 1 walked to tho northeast angle, draw ing a heary veil down over my face. through which I eonld see, but not be recognlxed. I concluded to alt on one of the benches and wait Several women came hi, but they were all young and passed on. Five mluutea befor the appointed time an old worn an came by with a basket of applca on her arm. As ahe passed mo I ask ea If he would sell me one. She held out her basket for me to choose, but did not speak. I looked Into her face and felt sure that I had caught my niro. "Julier I asked. She gave a repressed shriek. "You aud Gilbert are mistaken In thinking Mary does not suspect. You must have lost Gilbert's letter, for Mary has it aud will be here-pThiiiM is here now-to expose you. A gxm as be conies both of you follow me. I will take you to a place where you can confer In safety." "Pear, dear woman, how kind you arc! There he la now. I'll go and tell him" An old man, much bent and leaning heavily on bla cane, came in at a side entrance to the aquare, and the old woman haatened toward blm. They tood talking excitedly, the man look ing at me with evident suspicion. The woman waa apparently begging hint to an as i naa suggested, but ne ap peared to be of a different mind. A policeman happened to stroll by, and the man called to him and said some thing to him, and they both started for me, followed by the woman. I began to be frightened. When they reached me the old man called to "Julie" to come forward. "I that your bag?" he aaked. "Heavens, yea! I didn't notice it be fore" In my excitement at my discovery of the letter on leaving the bouse I had snatched up the bag with Its contents, and there It was banging to my wrist I The old man took It from me and ! opened It ' "Here's your property," be said to 1 the woman, "and here's the thief. Take her along, policeman." "Not unless you'll agree to appear against her." The man promised, glvlmj h! nnme and addre. I was tort led to hour hltn say not Gilbert Merrinian, but George Gilbert. The policeman took the '.mff and Its contents and great heatviiK: murehed me to- the police station. The only person in tho world on whom I could rely to help me out of the scrape was Gilbert Mcrrlman. I vowed that I Would bo tried and con victed as a thief rather than send for blm. Indeed, they took me to the veiy door of a cell before I succumbed. One look inalde the horrid place was enough. "Walt," I said. "I'll send for a friend." They took me back to the office, gave me pencil and paper, and I wrote a note to Gilbert begging him to come to me at once. Tbe messenger was a long while finding blm, and when he came I was ready to collapse. I nev er ehall forget the look of pained won der on bis face when be aaw me.

Captain Hlucbelwood wr his scarlet uniform, Mary a white satin gown beautifully trimmed with lace. Her slater was her only bridesmaid. There waa a pleutiful sorlnkllna of redcoats from the groom's regiment tat lotted at IloHton. who held their heads very high among Uie plainer young men wno were soon to meet them at Coueord, Lexington and Bun ker Hill. The ceremony had taken place, the bride and groom were re- reiving congratulations, and the negro cooks In the kitchen were bringing In the supiN-r. Suddenly every candle was extinguished, and there was a commo tion, amid which voice cried: Itrlde tea lent!" 'The bride haa been stolen!" "Mount!" 'They're galloping away!" There was n cluttering of horses' hoofs, growing fainter lu the dlHtanee. tnder the slmla horse and vehicle which 1ml brought the guest were standing, u:td a number of the men, headed by the bride'a father and her husband, mounted and dashed away after Uie kidnaper. A full moon illu minated the luudacape, and at every straight stretch of road the pursuing party could see thoae who were fleeing before them lashing their horses. At one iilut the pursuers came to branches of trees piled In Uie road to prevent their progress. That the kid naper were not delayed waa because, havlug prepared the obstructions Qioin selve. when they came to them they took a bypath around them. Dismount ing, the pursuers oiii cleared the road and were off again. Then they ap proached a covered bridge which bad been packed with straw and which at soon as the kidnapers had passed through It they had set afire.

When Uie puiHtipr reached tavern where the lady bad been take and Mr. Harrington went up ou to Uie porch bis daughter came out to meet him. But instead of throwing herself into his arms she knelt at his feet Then for the first time her father no Uced that a man who followed her was young Trnxell. "What do you mean by this?" ex claimed the old man unicrlly. "Father," miid the kneeling girl, "for give v '. I nni nuirrlcd." "Ot course you're married and, lliank heaven, to u loyal subject of the king. What! Helen I Do you mean" "It niettrm. Mr. Harrington," sold Truxell, "ihai t'ue hridu is ut home This Is her sister, whom that clergyman who Is Hliuulliig within has just united In wedlock to me. Our wedding supper is ready. Send for the gueata at the ball, and we will celebrate a double wedding here." Helen Jed her father to a room where they were alone and, winding her arms about him, besought: him to forgive her and make the occasion a merry Instead of a mournful one. One circumstance was of great assistance to her. la- the settlement pertaining to Mury'tt mar rlage Mr. Harrington hud been obliged to use 20 wonli of si a nips that lind been rendered c. .ntiul under the stamp act tin ucl v. hidi Unally nntdi rebel out of the old Tory. At any rale, be forgave the young couple, find till rode back to the hull, meeting messen gers to say that the bride was safe and It was the bridesmaid who hnd been stolen. On reaching the hall they ate one supper there, then went to the tav ern, where they ate another. The marriage that Mr. Harrlngtoa expected would be a blessing to him turned out quite tbe reverse. Mrs. Hlnchelwood went to England with her husband, and her father never saw her again. Trnxell later became an officer In the Continental army and waa much admired and beloved by hta comrades. After Uie war, when his father-in-law waa very old, Truxell took charge of bla affairs, and under his management they greatly prospered. Mrs. Truxell eventually succeeded to her father's es tate, and her descendants have enjoyed It ever since. ITT nt-l ITS ltnn,n . VVWj OI New Zealand W. P. THOMAS, Mgr., San Francisco.
