When the Clock /

| year's Story j
J By J. Stellman L
I Copyright, 1906. by Louis J. Slilimia 1
Ho did not know
that It was 10 o'clock p. in.on the last
day of the year and that the fates as
read by his master's friends had de
creed that Dudley Yates McKee. bach
elor, should become a Benedict before
the New Year. Shortly after the pres
ent year began the first dire prophecy
was made by reason of three plum
stones on McKee's plate. Ho thought
nothing of this, but when several days
later an amateur card reader made a
similar prediction McKee was mildly
amused at the coincidence, and when
within another month a friend who
aft'iHJted palmistry drew the same au
gury from McKee's palm the latter
began to ponfler. At a spiritualistic
seance which he was cajoled Into at
tending an alleged "spirit" again vol
unteered the information that McKee
would marry within the current year,
and later a dabbler in astrology to
whom McKee confided his growing
alarm consulted the stars and verified
the matter as a foreordained event In
his friend's horoscope.
McKee's uneasiness grew apace. He
dismissed the Idea of collusion between
Ills friends and began to fight shy of
anything that threatened a possible
emotional entanglement. Now, seated
in his bachelor quarters in slippers and.
robe, he contemplated with triumphant
relief the flight of time toward deliv
erance from what ho had come to re
gard as a pursuing destiny.
He toasted his feet comfortably on
the fender and surveyed retrospective
ly his thirty-two years of care free and
irresponsible existence, filled with many
of the lighter loves of early youth and
the delightfully innocuous flirtations of
later manhood. Dudley Yates McKee
was good to look upon, and his pleas
ing exterior was a frank and undis
guised index to his inner self. Women
liked him thoroughly, and, unlike most
bachelors, he had remained single
purely from choice. There were mo
ments when he would acknowledge to
himself that marriage had compensa
tions, when life seemed a trifle empty,
but on the whole he enjoyed his free
dom and was content.
The grandfather's clock in the corner
struck a single chime to mark the half
hour, and McKee, aroused from his
reverie, was refilling his pipe when a
slight rustle in the adjoining room
startled him.
"Rather early for burglars," he
thought as he picked up the poker and
arose to Investigate. He pushed a but
ton in the wall and flooded the room
with light. Then he stood quite still
and ejaculated "By Jove!" In a bewil
dered sort of way, for shrinking
against the wall was a young girl, ter
ror and embarrassment blending in the
imploring glance she turned toward
him. Perfunctorily McKee noted that
she was a very pretty girl and that her
hair, disordered as it was, was of a
reddish brown tint he had never seen
before, but instantly classed as prefer-

able to all others. For the rest she
wore a modish costume of tailor made
serge and carried a traveling bag.
"My God!" cried the Intruder, with
a little sob that went straight to Mc-
Kee's heart. "What, shall I do?"
"Are you real?" asked McKee dubi
ously. He was persuading himself into
the notion that it must he a dream.
The girl gazed fearfully at. the poker
niul covered her face with her hands.
"Oh," she gasped hysterically, "I am
ruined!"
"You don't look it," returned McKee
politely. Ti.' thought her remark a
trifle r.ie: idni&nitic. "Won't you be

Jt over?"
The girl sank into the chair lie ) '
ed for her and wept softly into a ri-J.c
ulous looking square of lace. McKe:
watched her curiously.
"I don't know what you think," sh >

In this room liefore you came in, and
then I couldn't get out." she ended,
sobbing afresh.
"I am Dudley McKee," said that
gentleman quietly, "and I'll take pleas
ure in seeing you safe home after you
have rested a bit. There's no harm
done, except that you're very much
excited."
"I have no home—now," said the girl
dully. "I—l ran away—to goon the
stage. My guardian was not good to

me. He wanted me to marry hinl
and I—had to leave. Oh, I know you
don't believe mo!" she addeil piteously.
Some impulse made McKee go over
to her and stroke the disordered hair
softly. She looked up, startled, and
their eyes met with an instantaneous
flash of meaning. Then she blushed,
and her eyes fell.
Thus they remained, motionless, for
a time, each trying to realize, to
grasp, tlie wondrous newness of the
thing that hail come into their hearts
| during the instant when their glances
met and blended in nn unspoken word.
With a quick movement McKee bent
over and kissed the trembling lips.
Even as he did so he felt her arms
about his neck.
The ringing of a bell interrupted
i them like a hideous crash of sound.
! The girl leaped from her chair and
j fled from him, her face aflre with sud
! den shame.
"You can't go now," said McKee
firmly. "You would be seen. Whoevei
it Is, I shall get rid of him at once."
He closed the sliding doors and, re-en
tering his study, opened the outer door.
There stood the Rev. Ashton Wright.
"You left a note saying you wished to
see me this morning," said the vis
itor. "I was passing and saw your
light. If you will excuse the untimeli
ness of the hour"—
McKee stared at him stupidly. "II
is fate," he said.
"What. Is?" asked the astounded cler
gyman.
"I wanted to see you about quite an
other matter." said McKee, speaking
rapidly. "I've forgotten what It was.
It doesn't matter. Rut just now I
want you to marry me and ask no
questions."
He glanced at tlio clock. It marked
11:40.
The Hcv. Asliton Wright stared at
his host in blank amazement.
McKee opened the sliding doors.
J Come!" he called to the girl, and she
ran to his side.
"Oo on,"he commanded.
The Rev. Mr. Wright opened hi
mouth and then closed it again, re
membering McKee's Injunction. HP
knew the young man sufficiently well
not to question his motives. And so,
after a preliminary gasp two, he
stumbled through the wedding service.
When It was finished, all three looked
at one another as though newly awak
ened from a dream.
Just then the clock struck iJ.
