Though fully tweuty-two, young Stamford did 'not look ? day over itine teen in bis light flannels hh by ran nimbly up thtj veranda steps of the Hthorldgo homo und prossed the eloo trie boll button. The door Mew open Blinultanoously and a stolid visaged personuge In liv ery stood confronting him. "In MIhh Ktheridge In? I wish to aee her at once, if possible!" A minute panned and the butler re turned, bearing a sll|> of paper across the back of which was Bcrawled in a hauty hand; "Dear I)ick: I am. unfortunately, too ill to leave my room. Can you not, just aa well, communlcuto with me through Char ley?" Young Stamford was in a quandary. Decidedly nothing could be done with out the co-operation of Miss Ether edge in person, and time waa flying, i "Tell Mr. .Charley to come down lin- | mediately," he said. When Charloy Etheredge appeared j in responsu to this summons he found Stamford pacing restlessly up and down the long hallway. "The fuct of the matter la, Ether edge," he began at once, "my uncle la dying. He, has always had hla heart aet on D on my marriage with your ulster. For some unex plained and Inexplicable reason, he chooses to fancy at thla late, day that one of um will draw back from our engagement because of the delay. The bulk of his property, as you have heardk has been willed to me on the specified condition of our marriage." He paused and drew from his pocket the small, unmistakable yellow en velope. "And now, the worst of It Is," he pursued anxiously, "he has but a few hourH to live, and sendB this tele gram at the eleventh hour: 'If you are not married before the breath leaves my body ? at my very bedside ? will shall be changed." Etheredge pondered a second and looked up with a daring inspiration in his eyes. "I have it," he cried. "Sup pose I ? what if I might rig out in some of my sisters toggery and go od with you?" , "Capital!" exclaimed Stamford. "Get ready as soon as you can; we've precious little time to squander."

Half an hour passed, and the darfe> ened sick room became the chamber of death. The newly wedded couple lingered for a solemn moment, then silently left the room to prepare for the return Journey. Katherine Stamford entered the parlor with some trepidation. Ether* edge was standing before an open window looking out into the Btreet, but at the Bound of her step ? he turned and came forward with out* Btretched hand. "So good of you to come," she Bald, placing her fingers in his; "we have been waiting and wishing for an op portunity to thank you for the royal way in which you came to Dick's assistance." Ktheredge smiled and caught her other hand In his, crushing them to gether in both his own. "And how about you, Kate?"' he aakcd, laugh ing suddenly Into the tell-tale eyes raised to his. Katherine turned away swiftly to hide the burning flood of crimson on cheek, neck and brow. "No need to deny it, dearest. Thank heaven luck was the means of bring ing to me what no amount of plead ing could!"? "How did you guess? I thought? I was sure ? " "That that flimsy dlsgulrfe of yourB was perfect? Never, with me.
