Marsha regarded her with her chilly, quizzical eyes. "Married at noon, you say?" asked Aunt Gertrude, after a gasp. "Yes." "I wish I could be more certain, Marsha, that It Is wise and kind (or you to marry a good man " "Perhaps he Isn't as good aa be Beams," Marsha answered. "We can always share that hope. No thank you, Alice, I'll take nothing, I think." "Are you leaving town?

Miss Gertrude bridled; grew rigid. : "I'll rather miss heckling you, dear," Marsha admitted. She rose then, with a murmured plea to be excused. She had her packing to do and she was quite through with her breakfast, which bad consisted of two cups of black coffee. She waa not nervous, nor excited, she assured herself, but the thought of food and trying to eat It had made her (eel "odd." "Jean will help you," said Mlsa Gertrude. "Why, thank you," said Marsha. She looked her surprise. Alone, Mlsa Gertrude, who usually ate method ically and steadily of her substan tial first meal, sat motionless (or some long minutes. She wished, (or the first time, that her relation with her niece had dif fered. "I am not to blame! 1 was sever to blame!" she said aloud, to tne amazement of Alice who entered the room at that moment She had bad, Miss Gertrude reasoned on, and as her (rlends agreed, a momentous task In the rearing of her niece. "No one could have done more!" she thought. "No one!" VET the strange feeling o( hollow- nesa that filled her prevailed, and despite her strong certainty tbat she had never (or one second been at fault In any difference tbat had been between her and her niece. She dawdled over her eating. Alice watched her covertly and anx iously; ibe knew her mistress' obedience to hour and to the con duct It required. Marsha, In her mod decided to wear the Polret gray; Jean waa packing her trunks and over-night bag. She bad always bated ber sleep ing roem, which bad been Inflexibly and awkwardly arranged by Miss Gertrude, who had said, "No ar rangement that 1 make In my house, of my furniture, shall ever, while I live, be varied!" But looking around the room, Marsha had from It a sense of safety (or, even though you started disillusioned, marriage was a voy age which took you no one knew where! She did not even know where she was going physically with Bob, when he waa her husband. He bad said, the night before: "You want Doctor James to marry us?" And she had said, "If you don't mind," at which he had laughed that full, short laugh which tells of a heart over-brimming with happi ness and to which he had said. "I don't think, my dear, I shall mind marrying you very much!" Then, to his question of where she wanted to go she had answered she didn't care and he had offered to arrange the matter entirely. If she would like. Dressed, she stood Defore a long mirror. She looked aa well as she ever had In spite of the long, wake ful night; pallor and shadowed eyes heightened her beauty rather than diminished It. Well, she waa ready for It; the definite step she waa taking. And again the stiff, untried wings of ber new soul stretched. "I dust keep It from hurting him I" she thought fervently. "It must not hurt him!" Miss Gertrude appeared at the door. "It Is lime we leave," she aald. DOCTOR JAMES said. "But of course you want to be married In the church!"

The day that had dawned so sulk ily waa cold and crisp and bright; the sunlight, sifting through a stained-glass window, laid a pattern of softened color upon the chancel floor, Marsha had said, "I will," and she felt Bob's hand beneath her arm and bis pressing It close agalust him.

Her husband waa by her aide; hla mother waa moving toward her. Bob kissed her; hla mother kissed her, Miss Gertrude gave her a pock on the cheek. Doctor James laid aside hla stole to Join them; he kissed her soundly on the cheek and then he turned to grip Bob's hand. "You have done well," he said to uoti; "I have known her long and I know."
