There had never leen anything more
than a kind of tacit underalnndlng be

man had never given up hla determlna

The change In Stella'a fortunea
seemed somehow to alao alter their

meant that ahe a'.ould Bow are eume

John In his efforts to forget hi
heurtlircnk, applied himself more
steadily to bualneaa than ever. Ono
day at police heudiuartera he waa In
troduced tu a young Indy, and wua
told she hud become n vnluiihle exult

"MIhs Itemson," auld the chief,

John Uwlor and Miss Iteinson were
delulled to work together. They found
where the "elderly clergjmau" lived,
and kept a rloe nmiunt of Ida going

leave the house Willi a dress suit case.

took the same I nil 11, not meaning to
lose eight of hla man for one Instant.
Hud he only been aware Unit an auto

might possibly have lost sight of the

As the train slowed Into the first
station, the automobile whlssed past
If John had not been ao Intent on
watching hla num. he might have seen
the wople In the car. The reverend
gentleman walked to a email hotel,
with John closely In hla wake. He
saw him assigned to a room, and as
soon aa he went up with the bellboy,
contrived to gel a room for himself
unite neur the other. He read on the
register the name of "Itev, Joseph
Bilker," and concluded he had not
come to this little town for nothing.
John Inlemk-d to find ul whst that
errand was.
He had been In hla mom about half
an hour, the short winter day had
drawn to a close, he had turned on
the light and waa reading, when he
heard speaking In the hall. The voices
were mi subdued he could make out
nothing, and Almost Instantly a door

softly to Investigate, Pausing at the
minister's door, be hesrd low conver
sation within. As he psused to listen,
he hesrd someone coming down the
hull, snd wss obliged to go on, aa no
one In the hooe knew the nature of
his hnslnea, and for the present, he
did not mean they should. Miss Item
son might be wsy off In her suapl
chins; II waa Just poaallde he waa
shsdowlng a perfectly Innocent man.
When the coast wss again clear he
glided np to the mlnlster'a door.
Though the tones were low, he heard
distinctly the words of the Kplscopsl
uisrrluge service.
John hsd never felt quite so foiled
snd foolish In the course of his de
tective esreer. Here be hsd been tsk
lug a wild goose chase after an Inno
cent old gentleman who had evidently
come out here at the solicitation of
some friends to marry them, and the
dress suit cse hnd probably contained
bis csiuHM'k snd prayerbook. The de
tective waa leaving the door In dle-
guat when he nodcel Hint no ttgni

Why waa this msrrlnge ceremony

The next Instant he heard the
words; "I, Cecil, take thee, Stella"
John rapped loudly on the door, The
voices ceased. There wss no response.
He knocked again still louder. Then

Barker .anil Cecil Brent.
"Friend I" sneered the bridegroom,
"John l.awlor. you've only come here
to atop this ceremony, but on can I
do It. Now go!"
When his name was mentioned John
had noticed the look that fame Into
the clergyman's face, alao the nervous
way hla hand went to hla bead. He
was wearing a wig.-
"I will go, but I shall have to trou
ble yon to go with me," aald John to
the minister.
"I am at loss to understand," he
aald with dignity. "Then seeing the
business end of a revolver looking to

well. But Mr. Brent as I could not
finish the ceremony, 1 will bsnd you
back your fee,"
John waa bit too quick for Brent,
nd anatched Hit money.
"One hundred and twenty dollars,"
he ssld. "Itsther large fee. Mr. Brent
I'll have to ask yon to come, too."

men, and ssfely locked them up pend
