WHY I HAW TWO WEDDI.Va HAYS.
Everytlting had been dulv and proper
ly airangetl tor our wedtltng. 1 he en
gagement of Miss Nell Hartley to Mr.
IJertram l.aii;ley had been duly nil-
nouueed in the fashion column of a lead-
ing "society journal," mid the wedding
dav had arrived.
1 am Bertram Laimley commonly
called Uert and while I confess to he
most sincerely an 1 entirely in love with
my littlu Xell, I mint add I had been
quite annoyed about our marriage, first

at tue peisisietiue witu which sue nisisu'ti
upon a grand wetldtng.
1 hate hiss and parade, and have an
old time notion that a marriage rehearsal
giddily and eventually solemnized before
a crowd ot gossiping, gaping people, h
robbed of all its sweet purity. Thou, too,
tho trousseau! The whole bitsiucs is a
nuisance! Excuse tho bij; word, but my
feelings are strong on that point. What
on earth a woman wants of clothes
enough to last live years, and gew-gaws
more than she can ever hope to use, I
never could see; unless, indeed, she enter
tains a aorrtble suspicion that the new
firm may refuse to furnish a fresh sup
l'b Its all right, 1 suppose, since they all
do it (no slang intended), but it was a
trying time for me. I can tell you. I
could scarcely get a glimpse of Nell, she
was so busy with dress-makers, milliners
ete., etc.; and when I did see her, she
was iu such a rattling hurry to be nn" to
keep an appointment with some work
man or other, that I actually grew a lit
tle savage.
For a month before wo were to be
married I believe I never entered the
house once but Kate Nell's married sis
ter rushed into the room with an
"E.tcuso me, Bert, but Nell is wanted
a moment. Or, "Don t look croas, Bert,
but Nellie must see .Madame this or
That," till I lost patience.
I here was another causo of annoyance,
too Nell's father was a rich man, aud
as able as he was'willing to furnish his
daughter with as much finery as she
might desire, while I, on the contrary,
was a man with his way to still mako in
tho world.
True, I had a fair income and fair
prospects, but I could not hope to give
.Nell as amnions a home or as elaborate
a wardrobe as her papa provided at
least not for some years; but I could af.
lord to support a wile, and 1 loved Nell
with all inv heart.
When 1 asked Mr. Hartley's consent to
our inarriagi', ho was at lirst just, a little
inclined to find fault with my financial
condition. An older nun, with a well He
cured fortune would havo suited him bet
ter. lie had a most unwholesome dread
of fortune hunters, and even went so far
as to have a mild suspicion that I might
be just .1 bit interested in that way; but

an mat wore tin in nine, aim we were on
the best of terms.
I only mention this to show how a sus
picion once entertained will return on the
faintest invitation, and not tiufreipientlv
on nono at all; for tho tinio came when
Mr. Hartley not only entertained this
unjust surmise, but eagerly hugged this
foul thought to his heart, and grow mur
derous in that vital organ toward me
Bertram I.nigley asinuooent a innn as
ever stepped.
Tho day before tho one lited upon for
our marriage, xsell and I had our first
tiff. I culled to inform her of the sm.tllest
possible hitch in tho church machinery.
The regular sexton was obliged to leave
town, tint had secured tho services ot Ins
biothor ( t very deaf and stupid man, as
it turned out), l'ossibly sho might have
some instruct iout to give him.
I waited full half uu hour in the re
ception room, cooling my heels and
warmiug ruy wrath, before Nell rushed
in.
"What is it, Beit?" she asked, breath
lsasly. "I am awful busy!"
A sT.irk is enough to ignite a wholo
city if it only falls upon highly itillam
mablo material, and a word ' is quite
enough to raise a furious temper in a
mini who is nulling to get lipids so I ans
wnrod, curtly
"If you are iu such a hurry, it is no
matter what I wished to say."
Nell opened her brown ey"s in sur
pi isc.
"I've g'it to select some hoe," she ox
claimed, "and Kate can't wait,"
'Neither can I !" I retorted, shortly,
pulling on my gloves. Then, after a
moment, I ndded; "Vou think a great
deal of furbelows, don't you?"
"Indeed I do!"
"I nni nfraid you will have to do with
vastly less when you nro niarrietl,"
Nell tossed her head saucily.
"All the more reason I should bo al
lowed to enjoy thtsepapa give me."
That shot went home. I bit my lips,
but niaiinged to keep cool outsi le, though
inwardly I was boiling.
"It is not too late H retreat," I said,
coolly. "If you icpent your bargain,
there is time to escape
Nell's eyes grew big with horror at tho
idea.
4fll HI i W.J Jl
"Indeed, it Is entirely too Intel" she ,
cried out. "Why, everybody knows it !
All our set have cards I should die of ,
lnoitificatiou to iml itoff now! We must
go oiij any way; I hnvo no fancy for being
., i..i.!.... o. ...J, r :. "
"Better be huiuhted at a week than
miserable for a lifetime," I retorted.
Nell opened her lips to answer, but
just at that moment Ivate put her head
in the door,
"Nell! Nell! Evctuo mu Bert-
I staved to hear no more, but turne 1
on my lieel and strode away.
rv sooner had 1 reached my hotel
when I was heartily ashamed of myself,
mid when Tom, my elder brother and
only living relative, rushed in and told
mo that he hail left his wife ill at home,
so anxious was ho to see mo married, the
last bit of crossness departed, and a
great wave of tendernes swept over my
heart for tho brown eyed girl whom I

elegance of her father's home or the
costly tritlei lie could give her.
Tom was ill at case and worried, and
I know nothing but my mariiago or fun
eral could havo induced him to leave
homo when Lottie was ill.
Next morning I saw Nellie for a mo.
inent only, but the kiss I pressed on her
dear little mouth was a silent plea for
pardon and a promise for hotter control
over my temper next time.
Evening came the church was packed
and I, feeling most uncommonly stiff
and awkward in a spin new suit and
speckless gloves, was awaiting in tho
vestry.
Nellie was to enter on her father's
arm, followed by her bridesmaids and
groomsmen six in number while I
was to enter in tho nick of time from
tho vestry, tho minister from his study,
ami meet nniore the altar.
It was all very pretty, but I aim ist
knew I should make a mess of it and I
ditl, with a vengeance.
I had requested to be allowed to be
alone, so as to keep my part in mind,
anil lor the reason went early to the
church, not to be stared at and confused,
lor this show allair was not one bit to
my mind.
.iiHt at mo last, moment lorn came
rushing in, followed by the regular sex
ton.
'I've got a telegram from Lettic,'
said loin, his voice quivering. "She is
worse, and I must start at once. Just
time to catch the train. Good bv, old
boy! (!od bless you!"
"1 m going too lust came to wish
you joy, Mr. Uert, said the sexton,
who had known me since I was a lad.
'Sorry I can't see you married. My road's
the same as vour brothers, so I II go
with him;" and off they both hurried,
the door shutting with a sharp click be
hind them.
The timo for the arrival of the wed.
ding party drew near; I advanced to the
door thai opened into the church, do
signing to open it ami peep through.
it resisted my ellorts. I struggled with
it sharply no use ! the oor was'Iocked
Muttering a curse o i the stupidity of
tlie sexton, I sti'od i ti tho outer door
In shutting the door it too had become
locked, and was as tast.n f.tto.
(treat drops nf p'M'Spirntion stood out
on m v f irelioad. What, was to be done?
I asked myself the question, and mopped
my nice with my immaculate handker
chief, but failed to find the answer.
'1 hen I tlew back to th inner door and
listened. The orgin w is playing gaytv
aud a subdued hush told me that Nellie
was entering on her father's arm, and
here I was standing, c.iged liko a rat.
Oh, how I tried to open that door!
.uy gioves spin, an.i the perspiration ran
in rivers down my face and dropped off
tho end of my nose; b it not ono inch
could I budge it.
I have wondered since how should I
havo looked if I had succeeded in burst

remained iu that direction. Then I tlew
again to tho outer door and pounded
mil even shouted, but to no purpose.
Utterly hopeless, I returned to tho in
ner door ouco more. AW was silent.
Should I thunder upon its panels and
proclaim my presence and demand to hu
"let out?" Nobodv likes to look like a
fool if he can help it aiid I hesitated,
l glanced around, the windows caught
my eye why had I not thought of
inonw i could at least make my escape.
aud tho ceremony might bo delayed, and
consequently awkward; still Nellie
would not be utterly put to shame. I.'ke
the madman I as, 1 seized tho table,
dragged it to the window, sprang upon
it, anil climbed on to tho high and war
row window sill; throwing up the sash.
I prepared to leap out; but I had reck
oned without my host; tho cord that held
the weight was broken, consequently
the moment my hand left tho sash tho
window descended with startling rapidi
ty, striking mo full upon the load, and
knocking mo off the narrow sill, dashing
my head against tho sharp corner of the
table, aud at last lauding mo full length
on tho floor.
I tried to rise; something warm rushed
over my face; 1 put up my hand to clear
my eyes my hand was covered with
blood.
I felt giddy and weak, still I stag-
gercd to my feet; then ablack mist arose
around me, anil I know no more.
'J his was 1 hursday eve. .Sunday af
ternoon the sexton, returning to his du
ties, found mo lying upon the floor, half
dead, wholly delirious, my taco covered
with blood, mill a hole Injny head largo
enough to let tho life out of any man.
Ihat niiiio wns spared was because I had
fallen with tho wound down, and tho
soft pilo of tho carpet acted like lint to
staunch the blood.
As soon as I could control my thoughts
I begged to know of Nellie. Poor little
girl! sho had been quite overwhelmed.
When I tailed to appear Kates husband
rushed out to inquire of the sexton if hu
had seen me. He was positive that I
had been there, and equally positive that
I had left again in company with his
brother said ho could not be tnistnket:
both scouted in a great hurry and had
jumped into a carriage and been driven
rapidly away.
Messongers wero sent to my hotel, but
without gaining a cluo to my where

had been taken home, iind tho very

"Locked up ! For what? Where?"
cried poor Nell, starting back, a look of

I verily believe sho thought for an in

"Why, in the vestry, ' I explained, a
little foolishly. "Coie and sit down
