CHAPTER XIV. AN INTKRRUPTEn WEDDING. During the time spent by Mr. Barnea in the south his spies in Hew York dis covered little or nothing against the persons whom they had been charged to watch. Indeed from the standpoint of a detective the actions of all bad been most uninteresting. The usual round of social affairs, the customary number of theater or opera parties, the regular aft ernoon teas—in fact, the ordinary routine life of the man or woman of fashion was all that could be observed. Yet of course these weeks did not pass without any occurrence of note. The chief one perhaps was the naming of the day upon which the wedding of Mr. Mitcbel and Miss Remsen was to occur. This was May 6, the very day upon which Mr. Barnes would reach New York with Mr. Nenilly. Thus fate seemed hurrying on a cli max which was to occur on the wedding day. In New Orleans a detective was seeking evidence upon which be hoped to convict a man of the heinous crime of murder, while in New York a beautiful woman was bestowing her faith upon this same man, and, with the assistance of many fingers, preparing to bedeck herself in bridal finery for his delect»- tion. Meanwhile the man himself acted most unconcernedly. He seemed to con sider himself beyond the risk of danger, and be accepted his happiness as does one who bad honorably earned it Of much interest to us, in the light of fast approaching events, was the cu rious conduct of Dora Remsen during this period. It will be remembered that Mr. Randolph had lost an opportunity of declaring himself, and that he warn ed the young lady against Mr. Thauret as one not to be trusted. This kind of advice, it is to be presumed, is offered by the one giving it, with some idea, however distant, that it may be accept ed. Yet the histories of many lives would show that only a small percent age of similar advice has ever been re ceived with acquiescence. Indeed, it might also be said that many persons have been hurried into each other’s arms by the interference of wiseacres, when perhaps, if left to themselves, they would have drifted apart At least so it seemed in this case. Mr. Thauret bad become not only a constant visitor at the house of the Remsens, but he seemed a welcome one. He certainly was a most entertain ing man, and his manners utterly unap proachable. He had traveled, and not only had seen the world, but had ob served it, which is another thing. The result of this was that he had a fund of narrative always at his disposal, and bis conversation was so attractive that he easily monopolized the attention of a coterie at any social gathering. Mr. Randolph noted with growing uneasi ness that Dora was always one of' the group who listened to these tales. What disturbed him most was that after the greatest amount of time spent and wast ed in seeking some flagrant defect in the man’s character he was at last com pelled to acknowledge to himself that he had nothing against Mr. Thauret except a prejudice. But that prejudice was as great if not greater than ever. He determined at length to speak to Mr. Mitchel about it, and did so one after noon when the rooms were crowded, his rival being as usual the center of an attentive group. "Mitchel,"hebegan, “how the deuce did that fellow Thauret get into this family?” “Dora met him somewhere, I believe. Why?” “Why? Can you ask that?” “Can I? Why, certainly I can. I did ask you— Why?” “I declare, Mitchel, you are either as blind as a bat or else you have eyes on ly for Miss Emily. Don’t you see the danger that the younger sister is in, as sociating with that man?” “Well, now, Randolph, to be candid, I must admit I do not see the danger. What is it?” “Why, suppose—suppose she fell in love with him? Suppose she married him!” "Well, what then?" "What then? You would provoke a saint. Yon talk as coolly about that child's throwing herself away on a—a nobody—as though we were discussing a shot at billiarda ” “Randolph, my friend, let me give you a bit of advice. When a man wish es to marry a girl, there are two im portant rules which he must observe, and both of them I believe you have neglected.” "What do you mean?” “Before I explain let me ask you a question. Am I right in supposing that yon wish to marry Dora yourself?” “Well, that is rather pointed. How ever, I will admit the truth. I would be happy to have her love. ” “Very well. I will tell you those two rules. The first is, ‘Never speak ill of your rival.’ The second is,‘Don’t be too late asking for the young lady. ’ ” Randolph looked at Mr. Mitchel a moment intently, then offered his hand, which was grasped warmly. He said ■imply, “I thank you," and walked over to the group where Dora was. Aft er awhile, taking advantage of an op portune lull, be leaned over her and said in an undertone: “May I have a few words of conver sation with you?" She looked up at him, evidently sur prised at '.is tone, and asked: “Is important?” “Very,” he replied succinctly, and excusing herself to the company she permitted him to lead her into the next room, where she sat beside him on the sofa, to which he invited her with a motion. After a brief silence, during which each thought intently, he began: “Miss Dora, I wish yon to listen to me, if you please, to the end. I think you know that I love you. ’’ He paused just a moment, while she trembled slightly, blushed, and drooped her head. He continued: “I have never told you fhis before in words. I know, but you are a woman and must have read ~~ heart long ago. You are all so clever at that sort of thing. I am only a man, and I have not been able to read yours at all. I really do not know'whether you care for me or not. Once I thought that you did, but of late—but no mat- | <«. I will not go into that In brief, then, I have only to say that it would make me supremely happy to know that you would some day be my wifa In ex change I offer you a lifelong devotion. And now—I think—that ia all I have to say. Dora—little sweetheart—do you, could you truat yourself to me?” He had gently taken her band while he spoke, and the fact that aha bad nei ther resisted nor withdrawn it had en couraged him to the more affectionate terms which he used at the end of his love speech. She hesitated awhile, then gently disengaging her hand and look ing at him with just a suspicion of a tear in her eye she said almost in a whisper: "Do you care very much?” “Very much I I cannot tell you how much. ” He tried to recapture her band, but she eluded him. Again she asked a question: ’“Money is not an object to you in this?” “Miss Remsen, you insult me. ” "No, no I” she said quickly. “You misunderstand. I did not mean my money. I can’t explain, yet you must answer my question. Would yon mind if—oh, how shall I say it? Suppose I did something that cost you a lot of money”— “Oh, I see,” exclaimed Mr. Ran dolph, brightening up "You mean you are extravagant Don’t let that bother you a minute. You may cost me aa much money as you can possibly spend. I will never complain. ” She seemed much relieved, but she did not speak at once. Her eyes wan dered away from him, and following her gaze be saw them reach and rest upon Mr. Thauret A jealous pang dart ed through his heart He was about to speak when she turned to him and said with suppressed emotion: “I hope you will not be angry with me and that you will not think evil of me. There is something I cannot ex plain, yet which, if I could, you would not object to. But until I can tell you about it—I cannot—I cannot—give you an answer. Would you—would you be willing to wait?” There was a tone of entreaty in her voice. “How long?” asked Mr. Randolph, still irritated, and wondering if the. something which she could not tell was in anyway connected with Mr. Thauret. “Would you mind—if I asked you to wait till—well, say the new year?” I “That is a longtime, but if it ia your will, I must. ” “Oh, thank you!” That was all ahe said, but there was a hint of rapture in: her speech, there were tears in her eyes, and for one brief ecstatic moment be thought that there was love in her heart, and that that love was for him. With an impulse that he could not con trol, and which she did not check, he drew her to him and softly touched her lips with his own. He felt satisfied, though she left him immediately and went at once to Mr. Thauret, who greet ed her with evident warmth. There is something, magnetism, if- you please, but a something that binds two true lovers’ hearts so that an impulse in the one excites an answering sensation in the other. The oddest fact in this con nection is that, though one may fancy himself deeply in love, he is not till he has received one of these instantaneous messages which Cupid ticks over love’s telegraph. After that be ia enslaved. His better judgment is gone. He will argue in the lonely hours of the'night that he has made a mistake, that the woman is not destined to make him happy, that she has this, that or the other fault, but it counts for nothing save that he suffers. That one stab has slain his manhood, and he cannot con trol his actions. As soon as he meets the woman again, act as she may, his love is aflame once more. She may ill treat him, she may ignore him, it mat ters not; she attracts him. Thus it was with poor Mr. Randolph. Throughout the many weeks that fol lowed be suffered much. He called his love all the unpleasant things that jeal ousy could suggest But invariably the recollection of that one moment, when she bad seemed in that indistinct, inde scribable way to have yielded her whole self, her whole soul to him, would flash across his mind, and at once his reason was silenced, and he would say: "She could not have done that if she were false. She loves me, but there is something that I do not understand which makes her treat me so. She told me so, and said that when she could tell it to me I should not mind. Well, I must be patient and wait I must trust her; she must be, she is, true!” And then gradually all the old doubts would creep over him again, and the suffering would be as poignant as before. It was about » month after the con versation related when a somewhat similar one occurred between the same young lady and Mr. Thauret He bad called one afternoon, when Dora was alone, and so had the field to himself. He spoke to her of all those things which be had found most interesting to her, and she was enjoying his society very much, when suddenly, as twilight ap proached and the room grew slightly darkened, be began to touch upon a more tender theme. He spoke of him self, of the wondering life that he had led, of the fact that he was alone in the world without a living relative. He mentioned, as though it were of no im portance, that he was of noble blood. Then he drew a touching picture of a man who, while really of a most affec tionate nature, was compelled to live a loveless life because there was none to whom bs could tun) for that sort of comfort Then he asked her gently, vety gently, whether she bad ever thought upon the subject herself, and whether she had felt a yearning for the onmpan- krnahin of one who would be all in all to her. His pleading was very pretty to listen to, and she heard him aa though much impressed, but her reply waa not exactly what he evidently hoped it would have been. “Oh, yes,” said she, “I have thought of all that in a vague sort of way. But, yon see, I have been in love with my beautiful Queen tor so long that I can not imagine a life without her. And yet”—there waa a tremor in her voice —“I am going to lose her soon. She will go away for awhile, and then I fancy I shall feel that loneliness of which yon apeak. So if you want to hear my real ideas upon that subject, you must wait till after the wedding. ” She said this last with a tone of deep meaning, and Mr. Thauret seemed to accept her remark as a hint, for he changed the subject Shortly afterward he went away. As he walked down the avenue there was almost a triumphant smile upon his face. This, however, was not reported to Mr. Bernes, for the spy was behind and could not see bis face. It was only a few nights alter this that Mr. Mitchel was walking home from the club, aooompaied by Mr. Thau ret, when the latter turned the conver sation upon the Miss Remsens. “They certainly are charming girls,” said he, “but one would need to be rich to afford the luxury of marrying one of them. I suppose they have nothing un til the death of the mother. ” Mr. Mitobel thought that be under stood the object of the question, and for reasons of his own was glad to reply to it “Oh, not at all,” said he. “The fa ther left each of them a handsome sum— 150,000, in fact—which they are to re ceive as soon as married. The bulk of the money, at coarse, went to the wid ow, but her interest is only far life, and then it is to be equally divided between the girls. 1 think it is somewhere near $600,000.” “You are a fortunate fellow. I wish I had your luck. ’’ “My dear Thauret, can a man of your intelligence believe in such a stupid thing as luck? It no more exists than its antithesis, ill luck. Every man suc ceeds or not, according to bis own skill in guiding his life. Now yon envy me my marriage to Emily, when certainly her sister Dora is just as charming and richer too.” “Miss Dora is charming, true, but that does not make me a successful suit or. But what do you mean by saying that she is richer?” “Why, you see, her sister is devoted to her and has promised her a gift of $10,000 the day she marriee, upon one eoaditioo.” “And that condition is?” i “That the husband shall be satiafao tory to her. ” There was a silence for several min utes, finally broken by Mr. Thauret: “Well, in the light of your approach ing marriage, which will make you the only man in the family, I presume your influence would count If I should wish to marry Miss Dora, I suppose you would favor my suit?” “That is not a new idea to me, I as- sure you. All I need say irtbat when you gain Dora's consent you shall have mine. ” “Thank you. ” Mr. Thauret said this with suppressed emotion, and after that neither man spoke until they said good night at Mr. Mitchel’s hotel Mr. Thau ret, upon reaching his own room, smok ed a cigar and blew little ringlets over bis head, thus occupying himself till long after midnight He seemed to be building castles, and from the satisfied expression on his face they must have been grand ones. Thus matters stood when the day dawned upon which the marriage was to occur. Everything was bustle and confusion at the home of the Remsens. The bridesmaids arrived early, helped to deck the bride, and then stood around in delighted admiration. Dora was in ecstasies. Two magnificent bouquets had been sent to her, one entirely of carnation pinks, from Mr. Randolph and the other a fine assortment of cut flowers, among which were three beau tiful calla lilies, tied with long white satin ribbons. These were the gift of Mr. Thauret She stood admiring the flowers for a few moments, then tender ly untied the pinks, and, taking a few of each color, made a small bouquet, which she pinned just at the opening of her dress near the throat Thus they were near enough to exhale a fragrance of which she would be continually con scious. Just before leaving the bouse, however, she took the callas and carried them with her in her gloved hand. Before the day was over a little trag edy occurred, of which she was not on ly innocent, but unconscious. In the throng entering the church her pinks were swept from her breast, and in her excitement she did not observe her loss. Mr. Randolph, however, the groon^’s best man, noted carefully that she car ried flowers and that they were not hie Subsequently she, in reply to a question from him, admitted who bad sent them, and though he made no remark be slept little that night Thus easily men suf fer. Emily was dressed—but there, why should I attempt to describe what only a Worth oould have furnished and only wealth could afford? If you can imag ine the most beautiful shade and qual ity of pearl colored silk, and add to that the finest of lace, and to that the most marvelous profusion of tiny ribbon bows, then, as I hinted, recall that the genina of Worth designed the garment, perhaps you will imagine all that I could tell you. At least I may say that as the bride entered the church on the arm of that magnificent man, Mr Van Bawls- "Thank God, i am not too tats.” ton, who, as her father's dearest friend, had bean invited to take his place, ey- sry woman present took one lingering look at the Woman and her gown and then turned to her neighbor to express her admiration. Moreover, I will say that the sum of all that praise was not 1- J who looksdevsry inch “aroyal quean,” as Dora delightedly told every one for Tttn afterward. Itut after the bridal party had passed people naturally looked far the groom, and they wondered not to see Mas. Whispering occurred, and inquiriss were mods without satisfactory responsa Homs thought that there had bean a mistake, and that the signal had bsau given to the bride and her Moods too soon. It was an awkward situation, be cause, of course, onos having reached the altar, they oould not turn and leave the church again. Consequently they simply stood and waited. Every one at length grew so nervous that save for the organ there gradually stole over the whole edifice a solemn silence. People were awed, and fearing at last, ss the minutes passed and still the groom did not appear, that something dreadful either had cr was about to occur they almost held their breaths. A few inti mate friends went out on tiptoe, but the door leading to the vestry room was guarded by a man in livery, who would my nothing but that no one could be admitted. Meanwhile an exciting soene, though a brief one, was being enacted behind that door. Just as the two parties were about to start on their way to the altar a carriage had driven up furiously, and from it bad alighted Mr. Barnes. He quickly entered the building and went straightway into the vestry room, brush ing aside the man at the door. Once in the presence of the groom and his gen tlemen attendants, be astonished them by saying: “Thank God, I am not too late. ” “Are you quite sure?” mid Mr. Mitchel, with provoking calmness “I have come here to stop this wed ding,” mid the detective, a little excit ed. “You mean to delay it That you are doing now, as I should be on my way to the altar to join my bride. ” “I tell you, I come to stop this wed ding altogether, and”— “One moment, Mr. Barnes There Is no time to lose, and I do not wish you to speak too openly. Let me talk for you. You have reasons, which I can guess, for wishing me not to be married. Am I right?" “I have mid as much. ” "If 1 can prove to you that you gain nothing by hindering this ceremony, will you allow it to proceed and then act as you may please afterward instead of now?" “Of course, but that is imposeibls ” “Nothing is impossible, Mr. Barnes Read that if you pleasa ” Taking from his pocket a folded pa per, he handed it to Mr. Barnes, who took it nervously, read it and looked up amazed. “This is an outrage, Mr. Mitchel and”— “And yon have given me your word not to further interfere at this time. If you will meet me at my hotel at S o’clock, I will answer whatever other demands you may have upon ms I think you know that you may trust me to keep the engagement Now, gentle men, we will proceed. ” Saying which, he and his friends filed out at the room and down the aisle of the church, much to the relief of the immense throng awaiting them, leaving Mr. Barnea ut terly discomfited. The ceremony then proceeded without further delay, and in half an hour Mr. and Mrs Leroy Mitch el were taken in their carriage to the Fifth Avenue hotel Mr. Barnes did not ’ wait to see them leave the cathedral but hurried away almost Immediately after having read the document which Mr. Mitchel had handed to him. This was a certificate of marriage dated the day before, and performed at the may or’s office. Thus, whatever reason the detective had for stopping the marriage the telegram from Sefton had enabled Mr. Mitcbel to once more outwit Mr. Barnes by simply allowing a oivil con tract to antedate the religions eeremony [TO BX OOlffUIUED.} The Southern States Exposition. Gen. W. E. James, the commission er for Darlington county, has receiv ed the following letter from State Commissioner Roche: Sodth CanounA Expobitiob Co., Columbia, 8. C., May Ifi, 18M. Dear Sir:—4 Convention of the people of South Carolina, in the inter est of the State exhibit at the South ern Statee Expoeition in Chicago next fall, was held in the city of Spartan burg in April last, at which time it was decided to form the South Caro Una Exposition Company. His Exeel- leney the Governor of this State was made president and the Hon. W. A. Courtenay, vice president; Mr. B. L- Roche, eommis lionor and Meesrs. W. A. Clark, J. C. Hemphill and J. B. Cleveland, with the olfloeis named, were constituted the State executive committee. It was also decided to appoint an active, progressive man ia each county as the commissioner far his eouaty, who will have charge of the work in the county and who may associate with him such persons as ho deems best to promote the work A Resting of the offleera of the State Exposition Company and the eom- missioners from the diffeient counties was held in Columbia on the 6th test for the purpose of considering the best means of pushing the work. The first question considered was the pro per division of the amount to be rais ed for the Exposition, vix; $10,000. The following was agreed upon as a proper apportionment of the funds to the several counties, vis: Abbeville, $406 00; Aiken, $648 00; Anderson, $884 00; Barnwell, $876 00; Beaufort, $81100; Berkeley, $80$ 00; Charleston, $1,814 00; Chester, $888 00; Chesterfield, $8100; Clarendon, $161- 00; Colleton, $861 00; Darlington, $881- 00; Edgefield, $80000; Fairfield, $811- 00; Florence, $816 00; Georgetown, $118 00; Greenville, $407 00; Hampton, $188 00;'Horry, $86 00; Kershaw, $166- 00; Lancaster, $18100; Laurens, $886- 00; Lexington, $186 00; Marion, $84$ 00; Marlboro, $148 00; Newberry, $$66 00; Oconee, $166 00; Orangeburg, $410 00; Plekens, $186 00; Richland, $448 00; Saluda, $166 00; Spartanburg, $648 00; Sumter, $877 00; Union, $186 00; Wil liamsburg, $166 00; York, $806 00. Mr. W. A. Clark, president of the and i Urn os i pare the i The exhibit wffl duets, mtnvfeetotn factored. It will be ervaaged to resent the State aa a whole, but < panics or individuals desiring to esake special exhibits wfll be allowed to da eo in the space allotted to South Car olina. Each county or tow* will get full credit for all artMee exhibited by it. The duty of the county eommiesioa- era will be, first, to as# to tbs eolltet lou of tha asooey asasaasd to the coun ties, to assist the , tat* oommlsslonei in securing material for the State ex hibit, and to bad nee manufaetnrere and others to make epeetel exhibits. The commissioner in aaeh county may appoint oneh committees to aid him as hs finds necessary Tbsre should not be Ism than one in township, the commissioner having charge of all the details in his county. The woasen of the State are invited to help to raise the mosey for the general exhibit, as there will be no separate woman’s exhibit Commissioners may prepare lists of all properties for sals in thsir rsspsst Its counties, as farms, water powers, manufacturing sites, fruit aad stock farms, truck farms, timber aad min eral lands, etc, and such Hate should be printed for distribution at the Ex position. 4s this is to be a strictly Southern Expoeition it affords us an unusual and valuable opportunity to make our resources known to millions of people who would never become aware of them through other chan cels. It will advertise our State far more extensively and effectively than has ever been done by any other means. We call upon the people of South Carolina to zealously improve the chance offered to them by Chicago's unrivalled generosity. That dty pay* all the expense for buildings and management, and the South has only to provide the exhibits. South Carolina-should not bo se cond to any other State in the char acter of her exhibit.

She stood at the mirror, so radiant and - fair, As first jewels, then rosea, she placed in her heir, And “That shall I wear,” is the mur mured refrain, As first one, then the other is tried on again. The crown of the morning all glittering and bright, Now circles her brow like a halo of light, And she flashes a smile at the image so fair, As she thinks of the triumph—to her heart most deer. “1 shell be queen of the ball to-nighl.’’ She said jt so proudly, and well she might, Far the bravest and noblest had chosen her queen Because of her beauty and right royal mein. But a sadden change cornea over her face— Diamonds, ribbons and laces are swept from their place: She ponder* e while, then turns slowly sway, And takes from e casket a “ribbon of grey.” “The hearts that ao loved it have moul der’d to dart.
