Brlda and bride groom, wltb tbelr attendant, march aolemnlv to tba marriage chamber, where bad sol bos ara decked out In wbita wltb emit of ribbon and artlU rial flowcre and where oo row of cbalra tba party solemnly acat them selves. After a time bridesmaid and beat man rlaa and conduct In with ceremony each Indlrldual guest to wish success and to klaa brlda and bride groom. Tbva tba feast la aet on the table, and It la almost aunaet before tba dlsbes ara cleared away ami tba pleaaure of tba day basrina. Everything la removed from tba treat front room, and tba mud floor, mctl ruhhed wltb bullock'a blcod. glla Uu lik polished mahogany. Tba fe rn portion of tba assembly flock lulo the aide room a to attire tbem eel' f tor the evening and relKaue clad In vhile mualln aud gay wltb bright ribbon., and brans Jewelry. The danc ing tx glue aa the Unit tallow candle are stiici up about the walla, the music coiulug rom a couple of fiddlers In a corner o. ibe room. Brhla and brtdo grooui 01 Hi the ball, and the floor la aoon covirnd with whirling couples, and every oue'a aplrlta rlaa. Tba bridal pair mingle ireely In the throng, and tier and tbeiv a mimical man alnga vig orously aa he rni hla partner through the "Ulue t itter" or "John Hperl wlg," boy abo t and applaud, aud the enjoyment ant. confusion are lotenae till 11 o'clock comes. I!;- tltls time tba children who awarui In ilie side roouia are not lo be kept .quiet longer, even by bunchea of broad and cake. There la a general bowl and wail tlmt rise yet higher than the scraping of Addles, and mothera rush from their partnera to knot-a mall head together and cuff little nursemaid! and force the waller down Into unoccupied corners of beds, under ladles aud behind boxes. In half an hour every variety of childish auore la beard on all aides, and It baa become perilous to raise or aet down foot In any of the side rooms lest a small bead or hand should lie crushed. Now, too, the busy feet have broken the solid coatlug of the floor, and a cloud of One dust arises that makes yellow halo round the candles and aeta asthmatic people coughing and grows denser till to recognise any one on tbe opposite aide of tbe room becomes Im possible, and a partner's face la aeen through a yellow mint. At 12 o'clock tbe bride Is led to tbe marriage chamber and undressed. Tbe lights are blown out, aud ILe bride groom Is brought to the door by tbe best mau, who gives him tbe key. Then the door la shut and locked, and tba revel rift higher than ever. There la no thought of sleep till morning and no anoccupled spot where sleep may tie found. It waa at thla stage of tbe proceed ings on the night of Tnuf (tannic' wedding that Lyndull sat near the doorway In one of the side room to watch the dancers aa they appeared and disappeared In the yellow cloud of dust Uregory sat moodily In a corner of tbe large dauclng room. Ills llttlo betrothed touched his arm. "I wImIi you would go and auk I.) n dull to duuoe wltb you," aha said. "Mho must be so tired. She has sat still the whole evening." "I have asked ber three Union," re plied her lover shortly. "I'm not go ing to be her dog aud creep lo her feet. JiMt to give her the pleasure of kicking uie-uot for you, Km, nor for anybody else." ''Oh, I didn't know you had naked ber, Greg," aald bis little betrothed humbly, aud she went away to poor out coffee. Nevertheless some time after Greg ory fouud be bad shifted so far rouud the room aa to lie clone to tbe door where Lyndnll sat. After standing for some time he Inquired whether be might not bring her a cup of coffee, (the declined, but still he stood on (why should he not stand there aa well a auywhere elite?), and tlicu he stepped Into the bedroom. "May I not bring you a stove, Mlsa I rndall, lo put your feet on r" 'Thnnk you." II o sought for one' nnd put It under her 'cot.

Her eyes, steel gray by day, L it black by night, looked through the doorway Into tbe next room.

"And what If we could help mankind and leave tbe traces of our work upon H to the end? Mankind la only an ephemeral blossom on tbe tree of time. There were other before It opened; there will be others after It baa fallen. Where waa the man In the time of the dlcynodont and when hoary monsters wallowed In the mud? Will be be found In the eons that are to come? Wa are sparks, we are shadow, w are pollen, which the next wind will carry away. We are dying already. It la all a dream.

You are nobler and strouger tban I," ah said, 'and aa much better a on of God's great an gels la better than a sinning man. Your life must go for something." "Yes; we will work," h aald. Sbe moved closer to him and lay still, hi black curia touching ber smooth little bead. Doss, who bad laid at bis master' side, climbed over tbe bench and curl ed himself up to ber lap. Sbe drew ber skirt up over blm. and the three sat motionless for a long time. "Waldo," ahe aald suddenly, "tbey are laughing at us." . "Who?" b asked, starting np. "Tbey-tbe tars.'" she said softly. "Do you not see? There la a little, mhlto, mocking Anger pointing down at us from each one of them! We are ta'klng of tomorrow and tomorrow, and our hearts are so strong; we are not thinking of something that can touch ua softly In the dark and make us still forever. Tbey are laughing at us, Waldo." Both sat looking upward. "Ik you ever pray V he asked bar In a low voice. "No." "I never do, bat I might wbeo I look up there. I will tell you," be added. In a still lower voice, "where I could pray. If there were a wall of rock on the edge of a world, and one rock stretch ed out far, far Into space, and I stood alone upon It, aloue, with stars above me nnd stars below me I would not say anything, but the feeling would be prayer." There was an end to tbelr conversa tion after that, and Doss fell asleep on Iter knee. At last tbe nlgbt wind grew very chilly. "Ah," she said, shivering, and draw ing the skirt about ber shoulders, "I mn cold. Inspan the horses, and call me when you are ready." She slipped down and walked toward the hotise. Doss stiffly following ber, not pleased at being roused. At tbe door she met Gregory. "I have been kioklng for you every where; may I not drive you home?" b said. "Waldo drive me," he replied, pass ing on. and It appeared to Gregory that she looked at him In tbe old way, with out seeing blm. But before she bad reached tbe door an Idea bad occurred to ber, for she turned. "If you wish to drive me. you may." Gregory went to look for Era, whom be found pouring out coffee In tbe back room. He put hla band quickly on her shoulder. "iou must rid with Waldo; I am going to drive your couainbome." But I can't come Just now, Greg. promised Taut Sannle Muller to look after the things while she went to rest a little." "Well, you can come presently, can't youT I didn't aay you were to come now. I'm alck of this thing," said Gregory, turning sharply on hi beeL "Why must 1 sit up the whole night because your stepmother chooses to get married r "Oh. It' aU right. Greg. I only meant" But be did not hear ber, and a man hnd come up to have hla cup filled. An hour after Waldo came In to look for her and found ber still busy at the table. "The horses are ready," lie aald, "but If you would Ilk to bav one dance more I will wait." She shook ber head wearily. "No, I am quite ready. 1 want to (TO." And aoon they were on the sandy road the buggy had traveled an hour before. Their horses, with beads close together, nodding sleepily aa tbey walked In the starlight you might have counted the rise and fall of tbelr feet in the sand, and Waldo In his saddle nodded drowsily also. Only Em was awake, and watched tbe atarllgbted road with wide open eyes. At hist she spt.ke. "I wonder If all people feel so old, so very old. when they get to be 17 f "Not older than before." said Waldo, sleepily, pulling at hla bridle. Presently sbe said again: "I wish 1 could have been a little child always. You are good then. You are never selfish. You like every one to have everything, but when you are grown upthere are some things you like to have all to yourself. You don't like any one else to have any of them." "Yes." said Waldo sleepily, and ahe did not speak again. When they reached the farmhouse, all waa dark, for Lyndall had retired as soon as they got home. Waldo lifted Em from the saddle, and for a moment sbe leaned ber bead on his shoulder and clung to blm. "You are very tired," he aald aa he walked wltb ber to the door. "Let m go In and light a candle for you." "No. thank you; It la all right" sbe said. "Good night Waldo, dear." But when she went In ah eat long alone In U.e dark. CHAPTER XX.
