When he sprang too near the central figure of it all. with the perfectly na tural and commendable intention of leaping upon her to show his undying affection, there was a combined shriek from six women, and five of them put tolm out. Well, it was a strange world, and by way of setting his mind at ease Bouncer ran six times around the house and chased a cat up a tree and MINISTER'S 74TH BIRTHDAY Family Reunion nt llome of thr Rev. .1.

There were pink bridesmaids at every window, and a nice, regular father, gardenlad and silk hatted and Prince Alberted, walked up and down the porch, looking at bis watch until eternity dragged by. but when the end of time was come the limousines began to move, and Bouncer, with a yelp of welcome, sprang to his regular seat by the side of the first driver. Jerry pulled Bouncer's ear the long pointed muzzle In a gasorlned fist and gave him other rough tokens of friend liness; then the door opened and there came out a fleecy vision in whom the neighborhood children found it difficult to recognize June Moore, but filmy robes and pale cheeks were 110 disguise to Bouncer. "Bouncer!" June Moore. In nil her im portant finery, stooped swiftly down and took his head between her white gloved bands and looked into his wist ful eyes and touched her cheek, for an instant, upon his silken ear and whisp ered to him. of all the world, her very last girlish secret. Then Aunt Debby. now divested of dough, dragged Bouncer back and locked him In th« shed, while June Moore rode away never to be June Moore again! What was this new world which she was approaching? No bride knows nnd no woman. June sailed contentedly. Ned—how ho had filled her world! And how happy they were to be! Why. they were nt the chapel—the pretty little gray chapel loaded with vines. And there was Ned at a win dow of the Sunday school room and looking so strained and uncomfortable. And there were the ushers in the door way.. She hardly knew how she WHS suddenly transformed Into a procession, Why. here was Ned close beside her and trembling! In a mist they kneeled and said responses, and Ned put a ring on her finger. His own fingers were cold and clammy, but his voice was clear and eiw nest as he promised to love, cherish and protect her as be be stowed 111 ion her all his worldly goods. Some one in the church was crying softly—lris Bletheriug. the bosom friend. Husband Bobbie was comfort ably patting her hand. There was a general dabbing of handkerchiefs. Bright eyed little old Grandma Moore smiled and smiled through it all. a gay little grandma, with as smart a gown as any there. Ned's father, a strong faced, handsome man, sat stolidly with his arms folded and went over the ceremony with bis lips, word for word Bouncer trotted down the aisle, wag ging his tail, his blue ribbon torn and the marks of the earth under the shed upon his fluffy coat. • Then tbe organ pealed again, and beneath the vine swung portals which June Moore had entered ou the arm of her father, June Warner, on the arm of her husband, now emerged into the world of caroling birds and gay sun shine- And so they were married! Then flie bustle and confusion began again—the mad scramble Into traveling clothes and tbe going away amid show ers of rice and the earnest godspeeding of friends and the semihysteria of Iris Blethering, with Bouncer liarking his indignant protest somewhere la the muffled distance. Just before June caaie downstairs 111 her trim little traveling suit of blue ber mother had slipped something Into the hand of the daughter. It was the symbol of every woman's tragedy. It was a purse stuffed with crackling bills. At last they were alone, launched upon the sea of life! They were in the tiny drawing room with a white tooth ed porter stowing things into racks and banging thiugs on hooks and stick ing»flowers everywhere. Ned had clasped her in his arms and bad covered her blushing face with kisses in that first realization, and now she sat by the wjndow. ber head pillowed contentedly upon his shoul der, and outside the world they had known up to this point In their lives was slipping past them. A tiny cin der darted into her eye. Her first Instinct was to grab her handkerchief, ind the search for that resulted in a little cry of dismay. "My purse.*" she gasped "Too bad!" Ned's voice was full of lympathy. "Anything In it?" "My money," she replied In concern, with all at once a panic springing Into ier heart. "Ia that all 7' he laughed.

He studied her a moment in per plexity. "I'm Just the same as your purse, except that yon can't lose me." he told her. dwelling with fond eyes upon her long lashes, her smooth, round cheeks, her red lips. He reached into his pocket with bluff heartiness and pro duced a roll of bills just as the porter came in with two snowy pillows. "(Jood work. George!" approved Ned. and. catching two bulging eyes fixed The Going Away Amid Showers of Rice. upon the roll of bills he held in hiH hands, Ned stripped off a dollar. "This is ray letter of introduction," he ob served as he passed it over. Ned turned to June, smiling, as the porter went out of the door and took three bills from the inside of the roll. "1 think you'll feel happier carrying this around." He stuffed the bills into her clasped hands. She tried to close her hands against it witb a sudden instinct which she could not fathom, tried tu draw away from the money, but his fingers were the stronger, and. laugh ing. be kissed her and straightened up to put the balance of the money In his pocket. She looked at the bills, while a slow flush of crimson came up over her face. Why should this have em barrassed and humiliated her? It seemed absurd, for this was a part of marriage. Ned sat beside her and put his arms around ber. and she held up ber lips to be kissed. Suddenly she buried her bend 011 his shoulder and cried. Some thing had been swept away from her. somethlug had been broken. The man had given, and she had received. ' CHAPTER 11. mHERE was a shadow on the Palisades, the gray 11 ess of a cloud which had not been there as they had started upon this journey. Money-tbe woman's money. It bad been all right for June to coax her mother and wheedle her father, but they were mummy and daddy. Yes. Ned would give her all be could afford, but that was it—be would give it to her! She would be the recipient of his bounty, or. worse still, would be paid for being bis wife! She suddenly arrived at the startling fact that this was the status of every wife. It was a most disquieting thought, destructive of self respect. It was unbearable. Ned Warner felt the precious head on Ills shoulder become heavy. Poor little girl! (Jetting ready to lie mar ried was wearisome work. Well, little wlfey's terrible tribulations, such as separating from home and friends and Bouncer and being made to give an ac count of herself, were nil over. Ned braced himself against the arm of the seat for flfteeu minutes, while the tired head drooped lower and lower. Poor little girl! Her neck would be stiff from that strained position. He moved ever so gently, but the gentleness was an unnecessary precaution. When he tried to shift her she slid into his arms without a flicker of her eyelids and lay there sleeping like a baby, her long lashes curving on her cheeks, her red lips half parted. Ned Warner was amazed at his wonderful luck. Who was he to deserve such a peerless crea ture as this? He lifted June's feet into the other end of the seat. She gave herself one pretty shrug, which settled her into tlons of the country, will not be au thorized as a means of keeping down the prices of wheat and bread in this country. Sentiment is increasing in Congress, however, for a rigid Inquiry into the speculative market, and there is a probability that one will be au thorized. Representative Manahan. of Minne sota. said to-day that he was preparing a resolution to stop gambling on the grain exchanges. the graceful lines of perfect rest, put a pink palm under her rouud clieek and slept straight 011. Ned covered her with a cloak, kissed ber cautiously 011 the outermost surface of ber cheek and strode out to the smoker. He wus back in five minutes to see how she was resting. The pretty little bride bad not the rosy flush of sleep which bo had expected to see. Her face had the pallor of weariness, and her beautifully curved brows were knotted as If In distress. He thought that the light In her eyes disturbed her and drew down one ot the blinds. That troubled knitting ot June War ner's beautifully arched brows had not been due to the light shining In ber eyes, but to the lurid flame which had sprung up In her mind, and that flame danced itself Into the figures of weird dreams. She saw Ned tipping the white toothed porter; then she saw Ned. with equally hearty generosity, giving ber three bills. The difference was SM»! Ah, the tantalizing fragrance of fresh cookies! She was In her mother's kitcbeu, and old Aunt Debby. black as midnight and round as a barrel, was drawing a pan of the delicious cakes from the hot oven. Wonderful cookies, those! June was just reachlug for one when, much to ber disappointment, they were not there. The familiar old kitchen was not there. Why. this was the kitcbeu of the new apartments, the nest whicli was waiting for Ned and herself aftei the honeymoon! June was in a big white and blue dotted apron, strug gling in the baffling art of making cookies. Some oue came in. Neil—his eyes shining as the fragrant cake* were drawn from the oven! June turned them over on a white cloth. Ned burned his fingers on one of the cookies, and be burned Ills tongue, but he was highly pleased with the taste, and he gave June some money. He patted her on the shoulder. Again she saw ber mother paying Aunt Deb by and patting that valuable cook ap provingly on the shoulder. In her dream June saw Ned's office, a stiff, prim place, as stolid as the elder Warner. There was a nice look big stenographer, quite obviously great friends witb a nice looking young sec retary. and there wus a nice looking office boy. It was evidently Saturday night, for Ned presently rose from bin desk and walked over to the nice look ing stenographer. He handed her the envelope containing her pay, and tbey exchanged a frank smile and a few pleasant words. Pretty good pay the stenographer received. She earned it Ned banded the nice looking secretary an envelope. They exchanged a few pleasant words and a frank smile. Ned handed the nice looking office boy an envelope and laughingly squeezed the boy's chin and rumpled his hair. The boy grinned delightedly and popped the envelope into his Inside pocket. Then Ned walked over to June and banded her an envelope, it wus larget than the others. He bowed to het very courteously as he presented it. He spoke a few pleasant words, but did not smile frankly, and she cast down tier eyes. There seemed to be a distinct understanding that she had not earned her envelope. A poor, shivering old woman sat huddled in a doorway. Ned stopped, looked at the old woman a moment and then walked across to her and banded her a coin. He was very mag nificent about it in spite of his com passion. He broadened Ills chest with the exhilaration of the good deed; then he smiled down at his wife most gen erously. Yes, his wife, for the old wo man was gone, and June, in luxurious fura. but huddled, was in the door way. It was she to whom he had given the coin! A wan and tattered, pinched and hungry looking little boy stood mutely beside them, piteous appeal In his up turned eyes, and held out his clawlike little palm. Ned. beaming with kindly good will, placed a coin in the out stretched palm and put his hand in benediction 011 the head of June, for It was she. and not the wan little boy, who stood there piteously begging! What wonderful sceue was this? A bleak, wild country with huge, strange birds Hying over it and 110 human hab itation in sight. There were human creatures, though, two of tbem—a big, ponderous jawed savage with matted hair, who carried an enormous club over one shoulder. Behind hlra trudg ed a smaller figure, a woman, with matted hair hanging to her waist, in her nose was a ring, and to this ring was attached a leather thong, the oth er end of which was in the man's band. He was taking home Ills bride! Music, the wedding march, the little gray, ivy hung chapel at Brynport. Was that Ned coming down the aisle'.' Was that J tine just behind him? Was there a leather thong in Ned's hand? Oh! Was the other end of that thong- There was a suddm jolt and screech ing noise, a rattle and a bang and the sound of hissing steam. June Warner jumped wildly to her feet und gazed around the little compartment. There were the flowers, the lioxes of candy, the scattered rice. Comprehension came to her slowly, for she was still half in her dream. The train had stopped. She snatched up her cloak, jumped up 011 the seat and brought down the paper bag which contained her prim little traveling hat; then she jerked open the door. In the opening she stopped witb a sudden flash of memory. Ned's money, the first of bis generous bounty, the first of her pa v for being Ned's wife! She jerked It from her belt, threw the three bills on the seat, ran down the steps, jumped to the ground and sped across tne tracks to the opposite platform. She uad no idea of where she was going, but anywhere would do. As the train started to pull out she had a mad impulse to run after tt to Pit ICE OK BREAD TO ADVANCE ClUcago Bakers Decide to Increase Cost of Ijoaf Chicago, 111..

Five-cent loaves for 6 cents; 10-cent loaves for 12 cents, wus the program which was discussed, and according to have it stopped, to call Ned. but there ■was 110 movement in ber. Across the tracks In front of the sta tion a man. tall, splendidly groomed, black Yandyked. stood watching ber intently. CHAPTER 111. * j KD WARN Kit, as the train pull V ed out from that momentous station, was in the wash room __J of the smoker, with a pleas ant smile on Ills lips, making the most elaborate toilet of his existence. He was to have the honor of dining alone for the tirst time with his charming wife. Thoroughly complacent, he strolled back through the car to awaken the sweetest girl In the world. "June!" he called and turned to bend over her seat. She was not there! He hurried out to the vestibule. Not there! And now for the lirst time be saw the three ten dollar bills on the seat. One of them was slightly torn; all of tliem were crumpled. Frantically he rang the bell: then he rushed out to meet the white toothed porter on the way. "Where's my wife?" he demanded. The porter's eyes widened until they made his teeth look gray. "'Deed I don't know, boss!** he re plied. as scared by contagion alone as If he had been accused of throwing the pretty little bride out of the win dow. "Honest to the Lord. I don't know!** The delirious search began from that instant, in about two miuutes the con ductor. the brakemen. all the porters and half the passengers were searching for June Warner. Ned, In his most lively vision of all. saw her dropping off the train, crushed and mangled beyond all recognition. No vision, however, portrayed to hiui his bride slowly crossing the tracks to ward the black Vandyked man! As she approached the man gave her a sharp scrutiny, smiled and strolled across the station platform to the bul letin board. New Vork local was due at 4:10. An express was due at 4:20. June Warner was helpless and be wildered. She had 110 money, no friends. She could not even telegraph. Why bad she done this foolish thing? Her dream! She saw herself again standing 111 the posture of a piteous beggar and accepting Ned's gifts. She saw Ned tipping the white toothed por ter a dollar and then, with the same jovial generosity, handing her thirty. The touch of that money still burned her fingers. Foolish as her revulsion might be, it was keen and real never theless, and until she bad thrashed out this question with the woman which' had suddenly grown up lu her she could not make of her marriage with Ned the sacred relationship which she had held as her ideal. The black Vandyked man passed quite near ber, gazing at her with a smile. She walk ed around him. Where should she go? Home? She could see her father and mother plying her with question upon question, driv ing her to tears with their worried in sistence and their utter lack of under standing. If not home where then? As If from the setting sun the answer came to her—just New York. So big and so intent upon itself that friends may dwell around the corner for years and never know. Ned at that moment was extracting slow information from a half deaf and She Jumped to the Ground. totally dumb old woman with a cross grained disposition. Yes. she had seen a young woman get oft the train at a station back there. She didn't know if the station was Faruvillo or not, but the girl had rice in the brim ot her bat. June Warner, alone on the station platform, had grappled meantime with the first problem of her independence. That problem had to do with the means of getting to New York, and it was concretely expressed in her beau tiful little gold watcb. In the meantime Ned's train bad drawn up at the next stop, and he had the station master In Farnvllle In a minute and \\*as inquiring for a lonely bride. "Why. yes." huskily shouted the sta tion master at Farnvllle. "a young per son of that description has been loaf ing around here on the platform, and she's just getting on the down local." reported the station master. "She's with a tall fellow with pointed black whiskers. He's helping her on the train." A black Vandyked stranger! Ned slmost reeled. So that was why she had left the tralu! "Stop them!" he yelled. But the Charles Jenicke, president of the asso ciation, virtually decided on at a meet ing of the association. The bakers do not eontempate any decrease in the size of the loaves.

June, paying but little attention to the man who had helped ber. turned J nervously into the car, a day coach, and viewed the interior with despair. In that coach there were only two pas-1 sengers, a man and a woman, sitting together. "Would you like to buy a watch?" invifed June in her smallest voice as she confronted the rigid woman and held out her merchandise. "No," returned the woman without moving a muscle. Only her feather The Man Gave Her a Sharp Scrutiny. wabbled. The man cost at the mer chandise a look of contempt. "It's a very nice watch." urged June. "It's a solid gold case and 1 don't know how many jewels. 1 only need money enough to get to New York and hire a taxi. Then 1 must find some work." The black Vandyke man's eyes light ed. "I don't want it." observed the wo man. looking straight ahead, while the man's glance of contempt strayed from the merchandise to the vender. "Very well," nodded June, and a grain of rice fell from the brim of her little blue lint and bounced in the rigid woman's lap. The woman turned sharply; then she half rose and looked at the top of the hat. There was more rice on it! "Let mo see that watch." she said icily. One lid contained a picture of June and her dog. and the other the date of the gift and her name.and ad dress. "How much do you need for this?" "She wants about $lO, ma'am." This was from the pale faced conductor, who was so broad and stuffy that he was an offense In narrow aisles, but bis eyes were full of twinkles. The rigid lady snapped the watch shut and turned to her husband. "Dau." It did not seem possible that her voice could take on a wheedling tone, but it did. "1 want $10." The man turned to her with cold dis dain. Ho produced $lO from a tight bound wallet, and instantly into June's mind there flashed that picture of her standing before Ned a piteous beggar! The runaway bride took a seat by herself and was presently given the discomfort of knowing that the man was grumbling at the woman inces santly for having bought the watch. The black Vaudyked man went over to them, and she saw him pay some money, nnd then he came back to June with the watch in Bis hand. "Of course you won't permit me to present you with this?" he pleasantly observed. "If you care to send for It later, however, 1 will be very glad in deed to give you my card." "Thank you." she accepted, and, tak ing the card, put it in her belt "You are very kind." It was not until they were nearlng the station in New York that he spoke t<> her again. "Pardon me," he said, bending over her. "If I can be of any service to you on your arrival I shall be very happy Indeed." "There Is nothing, thank you." she replied, smiling up at him. "You are very kind." At that particular moment the New York express overtook the local and slowly forged ahead, and Ned Warner, peering feverishly into every passing window, say the suave. black Van dyked stranger bending gracefully over his wife, and June was smiling up at him. Then Ned. against his will, passed ou. The express, however, was delayed a moment, and the local pulled in ahead of It. Ned was the first passen ger out of the express, and he landed ou the platform just in time to see the Yandyked man and .Mine going through the, gate side by side. Ned rushed after them, but it was not un til he reached the Yanderbllt avenue stairway that he saw them again. June was darting through the door and just behind her was the man. He was smiling. With a rush Ned rounded the balustrade and went up three steps nt a spring. He arrived only in lime to see June seeding away in a taxl •ab and to see the black Vandyked (nan starting after her in another. He jumped into a third one and shouted. "Chase them!" "Hold on there!" gasped a breathless voice, and a pontine porter piled Ned's white ribboned luggage 011 top of him. Away through the tangled traffic, across Forty-fourih street and up Fifth avenue rushed the three taxis at break neck speed. [Continued Next Saturday.] dry during 1915. Judge S. F.
