I shall consult the proper authorities how best to deal with this thing. It doesn't matter to irie whom I go with so loug as I get there, and since your friend Vjai'o wifhnnf vnlih'nn nf Lriuu&uw IklKZ UCl ^ nivuvuv my own I have felt it but right he should pay all expenses and take me home. I have no money, nor have T sent home for any. And I expect every comfort when traveling that should be given a Lady of my age." HavfDg thus stated her wishes, she looked at the clock. "We have still twenty minutes before the gate opens," she remarked. "Very well," I agreed; '"but I should like to telegraph to my wife, who will expect me back at the hotel." "Poor deluded young woman," said my companion. "Telegraph by all means, but I shall go with you." "Would you mind telling me your name?" I hazarded. "Since we are to travel together, perhaps it would be more satisfactory." "I am Miss scnuyjer, sne repueu. ''Miss Harriet Schuyler." I dropped the bandbox and stared incredulous. "Miss Harriet Schuyler?" J. ejaculated. "Aunt Harriet?" "I don't know why you shoul1 call me 'Aunt,' young man," she returned, "but I am Miss Harriet Schuyler. Pick up my box." Instead, I grasped her hands and squeezed them fervently. Never in my life had I been so glad to see any one. and I said so. "Tell me all about, it," I begged. "Tell me all about it." Aunt Harriet's story was briefly thus: She had gone that stormy night to ' ? * i _t ? i.^.1 .see ner nepnew, Decause sut vvanteu to surprise him. I was quite familiar with all details of the expedition up ' ' 3o the time she disappeared into Starr's room, but from that pont I listened with breathless attention. "And when I went into that room," 6he solemnly stated, "I found it was not Bertie at all, but a vile imposter who had wormed his way into the affections of the family by false pretenses. I told him what I thought of him, and what I proposed to do about it.*' I gathered that the interview had been i/npleasant for Starr, but was careful to express no sympathy for him. Nor, indeed, did I feel any. We had all suffered from his escapade, and just retribution was but his due. Aunt Harriet said Starr had blustered at first and tried to insist that he was the missing Bertie, but she "soon brought him to his senses." He then became very meek and humble, and proposed that he should go home with her and confess to Mrs. Schuyler-Smythe what he had done. Had she but known that when Starr is apparently most amenable to reason he is always to be distrusted, pero nc? olirt rifAii]/I Tirtf liovo liim UVl liU IV AUIIUM V,U UIUI so confidingly downstairs. "He brought up bis friend, Mr. Ferguesson," she said, "and they both seemed to be such polite young fellows Jhat I felt downright sorry I must expose him to Mildred, but of course I could not let her marry an impostor." "Of course not," I conceded. "We got in a cab," she continued; "Mr. Ferguesson came inside with me, and Mr. Starr went on the box. After a while we stopped and I saw we were on the dock. They told me there was congestion of traffic owing to a fire, and it would be better for us to go round by ferry. The next thing I knew we were off. I sat and waited for a while, but nobody came n6ar me. We seemed to be a long time getting round, but I had heard ferries were slow boats, although I did not know very much about them. It seemed to me ages passed, then Mr. Ferguesson came in, looking perfectly distracted and using language that was a disgrace. He said we were aboard the steamer bound for Boston." Aunt Harriet here swallowed several times audibly. It seemed as though her feelings were getting the better of her. Indeed, she was so absorbed in her recital that she did not notice the New York train was called, and I did not bring it to her attention. "We had a mo6t unpleasant trip," she resumed, "for I was very ill, and your friend was entirely without sympathy. Strange to say, there was a good stateroom reserved for me, but Mr. Ferguesson had to get what sleep he could in the cabin. We arrived in Boston and went to the Fremont House. I had no money, my black bag having been stolen, and he said he had but very little. I did not believe him, of course, and insisted upon the best hotel. I demanded that he should tal:e me back to New York, and thr satined to call in the police. In short, I have made it as disagreeable for him as .1 possibly could." I remembered Randy's harassed expression, and thought it probable that the trip had been anything but agreeable for hiin. "And this?" I inquired, lifting the bandbox. "Oh, that's Aiiclphus, my Mans cat. I had hirr. under ray cloak, you know. He always sots everywhere with me. The stewardess on the boat gave me the box for him. Poor dear, he does dislike tc travel, and so do I." Finally I prevailed upon Mi>r Schuyler to return to ths Fr.'.moni House, and on the way back I told, lier my own story. Also I'audy's? cr as uiucli of it as 1 could Jjuasine. ^ ! fc :OR rA5LY. S o I L.ETON 7YBOUT, ]E ./' "Poketown People," Etc.

"Julie Schuyler." remarked Aunt Harriet, "com - right upstairs and tell me all about it.'' gj Ferguesson told us his story as ar soon as they disappeared. He said f0 Starr had insisted upon getting into ^ the cab which he (Randy) had brought Nancy back in. and which rj( was to convey his lady and himself to church. Neither Starr nor Fer| guesson would give up the cab. and ex I finally they agreed to take Aunt Har- jQ( riet in also, and decide what to do w; with her enroute. so "You see.'' remarked Randy. "I! felt sorry for Starr. He and Mildred ~ were going to be married that night J1 also, and here was Aunt Harriet but- ? ting in and spoiling everything. Starr had engaged passage for Boston, and 0 we thought it would be a master I stroke of genius to put the old lady I aboard in his place and simply ship aE I her off. She couldn't get back under i three days, and by that time everyt thing would be all right. Of course it was not usual for the steamer to ed sail in the evening, but for some rea- st' son or other it went at that time and ga everything seemed propitious." "Yes," said Nancy; "but why did 111 you go with her?" "" Ferguessou said he had not had * the least idea of going, hut that Starr e requested him to explain that the stateroom reserved for Mr. and Mrs. ^ Starr would be transferred to Miss Schuyler, for they wished things to be as comfortable as possible. While he was arranging it Starr quietly got sa off and the steamer started. The rest we knew. "We arranged to leave Boston last se' night," he concluded, "but I hadn't fo mentioned it to the clerk, because I 1 had not very much money with me ^ and he had already refused my check. w< I was going tib send it when I got ke home. That was why I wanted five e* hundred dollars, because Aunt Har- N< riet was a very expensive companion, *'r and T never knew what wa^ going to ve turn up." He sat silent for a time, apparently du lost in retrospection. , 'n "I've had a parrot-and-monkey time," remarked Randy briefly. "That blanked cat!" \ tr< ha CHAPTER XII. We all went home the next morn- ea ing, and Randy and 1 took turns in an carrying the bandbox. Aunt Harriet in had subsided into a rather genial sa - - - - - - - - - - A ^ old lady, with a keen appreciation 01 a joke. Although she insisted she S* had many things to settle with Starr, ru we felt that she might in time be ou propitiated, and all united in making much of her. er I It was agreed that we should go to ha our old rooms and there procure a aE I minister, in order that Randy might 1)3 be married without further delay. aE "For," said Aunt Harriet, with a ev twinkle in her eye, "he ought to have some reward. 1 made his life pretty miserable. I can tell you." At a public telephone booth in m Jersey City Station Aunt Harriet St paused. aB "I might just as well telephone to police headquarters that I'm all ?1 right,'' she remarked. "What idiots it you were to imagine I couldn't take care ol myself anyhow! I suppose ar that unfortunate Mr. Casey will be 011 glad to get out and tell you all his opinion of you." be We laughed rather faintfy. I, for one, had no curiosity to hear Casey's aI opinion, although I did not doubt he would be glad to express it. ru We went gaily enough up the long th i flights of stairs, but at the top Nancy at I paused, her hand on the door of our th I living-room. lo 'I hear voices." she said. We all listened?Aunt Harriet most ; Cs intently. th "Yes, and I know them, too." she ai said grimly, and, flinging open the th door, marched in. while we trailed h? along after her in single file, somewhat suggesting: the tail of a comet. w I don't realiy think I was sur- la prised when Starr rose and greeted A1 me. My capacity for surprises had ?< been taced to the utmost, so 1 merely st looked inquiringly at a hat with a ca long white feather that lay on the table. "Oh, yes, * said Starr; "that be- al longs to Mrs. Starr. I'll present you. a' | Mildred!" to But Mildred did not answer, for she w was being pressed to Aunt Harriet's I)( velvet bosom and speech was impossi'ole. I looked again at Starr and was surprised to see that he was in evening dress, slightly the worse for di wear and with a wilted carnation in b< his buttonhole. I determined that explanations were in order. b< "Starr," I said severely, "last nigV. tl you were in Boston." "So were you," he retorted. Starr sc was seldom at a loss for an appropriate answer, but 1 did not think tr this remark worth noticing. Mildred ft here broke into thr conversation, her arms around Aunt Harriet and , c; their cheeks prcaied together. j a i "Oh Sear!" she said, "can you ever rgive us? "We had to do it. Aunty, ideed we did. for Stanford and I ist couldn't wait any longer to be arried. and you would have interred. He told me all about it, and knew he wasn't the Bertie Starr you lought him. So I didn't marry any npostor after all. And, dearest unty. we went to Boston right away f train to meet you; we were at the 3ck in a hack when the boat came . but Stanford said Mr. Ferguesson as taking such good care of you that e were not needed. Thank you so uch. Mr. Ferguesson, for all your ouble." She smiled graciously, and Randy ailed also; he never could resist the andishments of a pretty woman, id Mildred was certainly very lovely ; she tried to explain the outrageous ;rformance of her newly acquired isband. "I'm so sorry about everything," le continued, including us all in ?r apologetic glance. "You see, e were so happy together, we never lought about anybody else. And of mrse we didn't read the newspapers i our honeymoon?who does? At "C. Titr. q c TW r onrl rs. Arthur Smith, for Stanford said ? thought it would be sweet to be st to the world for just a few days, id I thought so too. But we never r a minute forgot you, dear Aunt ! arriet, did we, Stanford?" 'Not for an instant," he corrobor- j ed solemnly. "And last night, Aunty, for the st time, Stanford read a newspaper id he saw there was a warrant out r his arrest for killing you?just ink how horrid! So we consulted >out it and I said we ought to go ght away to the Frewont House and it you in the flesh. We went there stead of going to the theatre as we pected, and Stanford got out and oked through the crack of the door, itching for you and Mr. Ferguesn." "I saw him," remarked Julie huyler, "and oh! how I wanted to t hold of him!" "We had hired a red touring car r a week," resumed Mildred, "and sat in it and waited while he itched. Suddenly he rushed out id said he was being followed." "It was you, Billy," interpolated arr, "and there was blood in your e. I didn't trust you? So I shoutto the chauffeur to take us to, the ation and leave us there, but we t caught in that crush. I jumped it and Mildred came too, and we ;nt the rest) of the way on foot, ist as we got to the station the jw York train was called and we cided to come home. That's all." "Not quite all," said Mildred. "A eadful thing happened to me. J st my wedding ring." "I'll get you another," promised arr. But his bride shook her head dly. "It won't be the same at all. No her could ever take its place. You e," she explained, turning to Nancy r sympathy, "it was too large and dropped it. Stanford stepped on and mashed it out of shape; so i tied it in the corner of my handrchief until we could go to a jewler and get it straightened out. )w I've lost handkerchief and all. n sure it's a bad omen, and I'm ry unhappy about it." I fumbled in my pocket and proiced the handkerchief I had found the motor the previous night, with : little crushed ring in the corner. "Cheer un." I said; "you won't be Dubled by any omens at all," and nded it to her with a flourish. While we were all talking at once, ch going over different experiences d much inclined ',o view everything the light of a huge joke, now it was fely over, a shadow darkened the orway. and Nancy looked up. She ,ve' a little shriek and stopped abptlv, while Julie Schuyler laughed trlght. It was Casey in the door?Casey, im and forbidding of aspect, his iir even more rampant than usnnl, id bearing in his hands the black g Aunt Harriet had left in her cab, id which had been the root of all il as far as I wa3 concerned. "I'm afraid I intrude," said Casey, th austere sarcasm. He got no further, for as though oved by a simultaneous impulse arr and Ferguesson rushed to him >d seized his hands. 'You'll make your home with us, d fellow," cried Starr; "we have all settled." Randy moved Casey's unresponsive m up and down as though vigorisly pumping. "No, indeed," he said; "old Casey longs to us?eh, Julie?" I wone to tne pian 01 campaign ana iproved it. "Where do we come in?" I interred, taking possession of his nmb, which was the only spot availile just then. "One of the first ings we decided was that Casey benged to us." "It's all very well " began isey, unappeased, but got no furer. for the girls pushed us one side id bore him resisting but helpless to e couch. They relieved him of his it and coat (or rather my hat and at that I had bequeathed him), and henever he tried to speak they all ughed and talked together. They jttered round him like so many lily plumaged birds, and after a ruggle to maintain his dignity Casey ipitulated and laughed. "Tell me all about it," he said. We told him in sections, sometimes 1 talking at once, and sometimes lowing Aunt Harriet or Ferguesson i have the floor undisturbed, for it as generally conceded that their ex M'ience bad been the most interestt b' "And to-night," said Ferguesson, we art- going to have a real we.6ing here. Casey, and you shall be 2st man." Casey rose and brought out a dusty :>ttle or so from his pantry under le table. "Randy," he said, "go out and get mie lemons. I'll make the punch." Mildred returned the black bag > Aunt Harriet, and the girls pro ssed much curiosity to see inside. "For." said Julie Schuyler, "bemse of that bag. Aunty, 1 spent night in the police station. What in the world did you carry in It toe* side money?" Aunt Harriet drew forth a package and opened it. Some wilted greea sprigs fell to the floor, and she regarded them ruefully. "''It was catnip for Adolphus," she said, "but he never even got a smell of it, poor dear, and now it's withered up to nothing." Well, we had what Nancy called a real proper wedding, and Casey was best man and made the punch. Everybody kissed the bride, and when it came to my turn she laughud a little shyly. "I was a horrid little cat to you," she said. "Please forget it." "Very well. Julie Smith," I re-; turned, "provided you never allow your husband to writs verses." We sent for Mrs. Stubbs, and when she appeared in our midst we cheeped her and drank her health, which embarrassed her so much she forgot to ask inconvenient questions. No one was more merry or more thoroughly enjoyed herself than Awnt Harriet. "I never heard of such a thing," she kept repeating. "Find a wife for Mr. Casey indeed, and just look here at the six of you!" Mildred approached her anl I heard an anxious whisper. ' "Never you mind, dear," was the answer; "I'll attend to your mother. Welcomc at home again? Well, I should think so?you and Julie too. Don't you worry." We didn't any of us worry over anything, and Randy apologized very nanasomciy ior ooriowjiyj my nug. He would return it next day, he said, and actually did so. Then Casey mad? a 'speech. He sa4d that as a mattor of fact wa all owed our present state of blifs to him alone, for if he had not decided to get married we should hav.j remained unhappy bachelors. He ventured the suggestion that when next we prepared to elope it would bs advisable to confide in one another, but of course we must do as we thought best about such matters. He had not presumed to inquire what our plans for the future were, nor had we mentioned them. He much appreciated our keen desire to have . him form part of our households, but as said households seamed to him rather sketchy "nd unsubstantial he believed he would continue to patron- . ize Mrs. Stubbs's top floor, wherei he , begged to assure us, we should al- t ways |)e welcome. And now, as we * were all otherwise engaged, he want- I . a,1 (n eav tVint i ( wnnlH jrivp him ST P. ft t I pleasure to return Miss \ Harriet Schuyler to her sister's house, and hoped he would he allowed to carry the bandbox and thus make the acquaintance of Adolphua. He declined, however, to enter a cab. Nancy and I went down to the hall door wita them and watched Casey and Aunt Harriet disappear around the corner. Her little hands were clasped around my arm, and we lingered there alone a few moments before rejoining the merry party upstairs. t "Isn't it wonderful?" she said softly. "Just think, Billy, you and J are married. I haven't had time to realize jt before." "All the time for years to come just to be happy in," I said, but Nancy shook her head. "No, dear," she said, "there will c be clouds as well as sunshine. But ( ? if we find the silver lining we shan't } mind, shall we?" , ' "We'll always remember it is there, 1 Nancy." We stood silently a moment, then Nancy spoke very gently. "To-morrow we will go to Philadelphia and see Daddy. I've teleI graphed, for I know he wants mo. He'll like to have ue Jive with bim." "Dear," I said, "we'll go anc. see him by all means, but we'll oome back here where my vrork is. I want my wife all to mycelf, Nancy." | The End.
