Paul Ardmore nodded his thanks to
the conductor as he swung down the
car steps to the snow covered platform
and made his way toward the waiting
room.
No expectant committee gathered
about the stove, and the only signs of
life were the elicking of the telegraph
instruments and a thin film of very
rank tobacco smoke that curled from
under the closed window of the ticket
office.
lie waitcd a minute; then he rapped
on the ground glass, and presently a
face, appearing in the cpening, evinced
surly interest. :
“1 am Professor Ardmore,” explained
Paul. *I am to give a lecture at the
Gothie clrareh, There is no committee
to meet me, and there seems to be no
hack abeut the station.”
“There i 3 one generall¥, but Jim got
a job driving a feller over to Moor
way, lie'll be back to meet the 9:43,
but if you don't want to wait ii’s easy
to walk there. You go down the road
a plece till yocu come to Pine street.
Then you go over to Maple until you
come to Spruce. It's just around the
corner on Spruce. Are you that feller
that was to lecture in the Star course
last night and didn’t come? The ladies
got up a show, so they wouldn’t have
to give the money back.” ¢
Paul clutched at his pocket and ex
tracted a letter. He glanced at the
fine feminine handwriting and breathed
a sigh of relief.
“It is for the 17th,” he announced
in rellef. “I am so absentminded that
I have to be very careful of my dates,
Perhaps the committee has discovered
the error and will gather the audience
again tonight. In any event it would
be best for me to go over.”
He turned up the collar of his ulster
to protect his throat nnd, leaving the
station, plunged through the drifting
Snow,
- It was not a long walk, for Maple
wood was a small place, and present
iy he was in sight of the church that
was attended by the town's fashiong
ble families.
- To his reli»f the li~hts shone out,
and a little Enot f peeple stocd about
the door.
~ They cyed him curionsly as he push
ed his way through to t{he deci and
entered the vestibule. Secveral young
women came forward expe:tantly as ho
~entered, and Pau), deciding that they
} werc the committee of the Ladles’
“They told me at the station that
the lecture was yesterday, cr, rather,
‘that the audience had gathered yes
terday through some error,” he sald
eordfaily. “I am glad that you were
able to gather them together again this
evening. Ipresume an error was made.”
The welcoming smile fadi""rom the
girlish faces. “You are thZiecturers:
erfed cne, “We thought you were the
bridegroom.”
“Mercy, no!” exclaimed Paul, color
ing vividly.
“The lecture was announced for last
night,” went on the speaker. “The
guild members organized an impromp
tu concert to avoid disappointing the
audience. You might at least have tele
graphed when you found that you
could not come.” -
“But I have come,” declared Paul as
he produced his letter. “Your commu
'nlpaflon says very distinctly that the
lecture is on the 17th.”
The girl took the letter unbelieving-
Iy, then gave a liitle ery of dismay.
“You are Irofessor Ardmore?’ she
cried. “It was Burton Brooks, the
Egyptologist, who was to have lec
tured last night. Your lecture is to be
given on the 27th. I made the mistake
in the date. This is my letter. 1 am
very sorry.” :
“lI can come again on the 27th.”
promiscd I’aul as he perceived the
girl's_distress. “I take it that there is
a wedding here this evening. May I
stay until it is time for my train? It
fs scarcely inviting at the station, and
the agent smokes very bad tobacco.”
“Yes; we've reported his bad man
ners to the company dozens of times,”
was the discouraged reply. “You are
welcome here, but it is a rehearsal for
the bridal party, uot the wedding.”
She led the way into the body of
the church, and Paul slipped into a
pew on the side aisle, glad of a rest
ful haven until train time,
Presently the organ pealed, and at
the first strains there entered the
groom and his best man, An elderly
woman, who seemed to have constitut
ed herself the mistress of ceremonies,
shouted to the crganist to stop and
charged upon the sheepish groom.
“Go back!” she cried. “You don't
give the organ a chance! He's got to
play the march all the way through,
and if you come out now you'il have
to stand like a toy figure walting for
the bride to come in! Don't come un
til I say ‘Now’ and then remember the
place in the music!” i
The groom and his supporter stum
bled back into the vestry, and agaln
the organ pealed out the wedding
march. Paul turned curiously to look
at the bridai party, and for a moment
his pulse scemed to cease its beat
The little bride was none other ipn
Eleanor Kingsland, the one woman in
the world that Paul worshiped, and
his wership was not the less intense be
cause he had never told of his love.
He bad thought of her always as a
child, for he was very young himself
for the position that he held, and in
consequence felt hiwself to be tremen
dously old.
He kad meant some day to tel! bis
Jove and seek Ler for his-own, but Be
bad delayed his proposal! until it was
too late. Now she was about to be
come the bride of that sheepish lqoke
ing chap standing in the chaacel,
" HMe half rose as though to leave:
then he sank back into kis seat again.
He would drink the cup of humiliation
to the very dregs. He would see the
girl he loved go threugh the form of
marriage which on the morrow wonld
be perforined; then he would go back
to his own narrow, loveless life, bear
ing the knowledge that delay had cost
him happiness.
Miserably he watched the procession
form aund break, to form again in re.
sponse to the directress, but at last
the rehearsal was pronounced perfect.
The groom and his best man made
their appearance on the very note shat
brought them to pause expectantly be
fore the bride started and yet gave
her time to step into place before the
music stopped.
With a brisk “All right!” the direc
tress led the way down to the Sunday
school ‘room, with the announcement
that refreshments were to be served
there. Paul rose, hoping to steal out
unobserved. .
It never would do to meet Eleanor
now. She could read his secret in his
face, and he would not contribute even
50 slightly to her happiness at such
& moment.
But even as he rose Eleanor turned
and came swiftly toward him.
“Paul Ardmore!”’ she cried as she
offered her hard. “And I had the fun
niest feeling that you were here. All
through the ceremony I felt it/ and
when Jeanne told me that you really
were here I was delighted. Dld you
see the rehearsal? Isn't it going to be
lovely 7
“As lovely as the bride deserves,”
declared Paul gallantly. :
“Do you know her?”’ cried Eleanor
in astonishment.
“You are she,” reminded Paul, but
Eleanor shook her head gayly.
“lI almost wish that I was,” she
cried—“g!l the excitement over one
girl, even though she is as beautiful
as Letty Brace. I was just her substi
tute because she had to have her dress
fitted. Paul, do you know, I think a
dress like that would tempt me to
marry anyhody.”
“I shall have to see Misg Bl;pce’s'
dressmaker,” sald Paul gravely, “for I
want to tempt you to matrimony. I
thought that you were too young to
give up all men for just one, Lut when
I saw you standing beside another at
the altar and folt that I had not spo-
Len In time”— xid
~ “Mercy! T'm getting to. be an old
mald,” insisted Eleanor, with a laugh.
“This is my third season, and I've
been waiting for . the -right man to
come along.” $iE S
l “Ard has he?” pressed Panl, - :
| Eleanor glanced shyly up into his

Paul’s face turncd radtant. kil
~ “We shall have to have -the guild
secretary for our best girl—l mean the
bridesmaid,” he corrected. “It was
ghe who boeked me for matrimony as
well as a lectyre.” : e
Skylarks.
. John Burroughs relates that a nam
’ ber of yenrs ago a friend in England
~sent him a score of skylarks in a cage.
'He gare them their liberty in a’field
vear where he lived. They drifted
away, and he never heard or saw them
again. But one Sunday a Scotchman
from a neighboring clty called on him
and declared, with visible excitement,
that on bis way aiong the road he had
heard a skylark. IHe was not dream.-
'ing; he knew it was a skylark, though
he had not heard one since he had left
the banks of the Doon a quarter of a
century or more before. The song had
given him infinitely more pleasure
than it would have given to the natu
ralist himself. Many years ago some
skylarks were llberated om Long Is
land, and they became established
there and may now occasfonally be
heard in certain localities. One sum
mer day a lover of birds journeyed
out from the city in order to observe
them. A lark was soaring and singing
in the sky above him. An old Irish
man came along and suddenly stopped,
as If transfixed to the spot. A look of
mingled delight and incredulity came
into. his face. Was he indeed hearing
the bird of his youth? He took off hia
hat and turned his face skyward and,
with moving lips and streaming eyes,
stood a long time regarding the bird.
“Ab,” thought the student of nature,
“If T could only hear the bird as he
Bears that song with his ears!” To the
wan of science it was only a bird song
to be critically compared to a score of
others, but to the other it brought
back his youth and all those long gone
days on his native hills.
Bore the Test Well.
A famous dramatist was the hero of
one of the most amusing marriage pro
posal experiences on record. When as
a young man he fell in love with the
pretty daughter of a pastor he was
afraid to face the lady and so wrote
her a letter. He was told to call the
next afternoon and receive his an
swer. On reaching the house he was
shown Into a room and given a seat
on a sofa. The servant sald that the
lady would soon appear. He sat and
hung around in that room for fully
two hours, often tempted to leave the
house or make a break for further in
formation, but not having the courage
to do elther. At last he could steand it
no longer and rushed into the corridor,
making for the door out of the house.
Then he heard a shout of clear, silvery
lauglter in the room he had left. He
hastened back and saw the face of hig
sweetheart peeping out from under
the sofa, convulsed with mirth. “Deo
forgive me,” she ejaculated. “I simply
wanted to find out hew long yeuw
would wait for me. You live bomne
