m The Wedding Eve Or, Married to a Fairy. CHAPTER XXII.- (Continued). At well as I could I soothed her, but I was suffering keenly, too. "You are perfectly safe. now. darliuf," I whispered. "Something told me you weiv in trouble, and Jed me to you. Thank Gc-d! I wae in time. But why did you run away from me like that? All <liy 1 and Mrs. Mur'and and Nicholas Wray have been se-arohing f<xr you every- where." "Mrs Morland? And Mr. Wray?" "Ye--. I know you ueed not to like him. but he lu>s been most kind, searching lor you everywhere." "What doea he say I want to know, because he in an old friend of yours *lx>0t this idea of your marrying me?" "H nays it is the beet, the only thing to be done,' if I am able to win you. since I love you o dearly." Bhe was silent f<ir ome minutes. "Ltoten." she add. then, in a very low , Toice. "I eee it's no Rood 6trugi?Hng. And ! now you've saved my life in addition to j all the othar th'ingu you've done for mo for it was you Unit pulled me from th^ Trail, wasn't it?" "Yes, my dearest, it was I." "I suppoee my life i-s yours. But I can't i love you as you want, and you mustn t | reproat.h me and be disappointed. H nothing but marrying mo will make you happy. I euppoHe you must marry me. | But marry me a-t once and take me aw.iy to new places. Don't give me time to ] think about it or I eliall run off again. . The impulse came upon me early this I morning, and I couldn't reaiet it. I made a plan that I would come to London, and cut off my hair and pret boy's clothew, and take a boy's situation somewhere and never be found by you or any one. But I hadn't the pluck to carry it through. I had a little money left out of what you gavo me laet time you saw m. And I elipped off from Morland House at night. an, I cut off my hair in the train, and boueht eome boy's clothes in an old dothee' shop aa eoon as the shopa were opened, and changed my things in a four- wheeled cab in the fog. But once I'd got them I felt every one wae looking at me. and I got frightened: a-nd when I went to a restaurant to get something to eat. I hardly dared to leave the place, and I hid and waited about, and at dark I lust my way and got robbed and. oh! I am so tired! You won't aek me any more Questions to-night, will you?" "No. disir." "And where are you taking me?" Thin waa a question, indeed. I could not risk \Vrem>ljaw set-ing Lilith in thb travesty, and yet. I was intensely anxious to pl'K'o her in Mrs. Morland'e care ae speedily ae possible. It wae out of the question to leave her at any hotel in her boy's clothes, ar.d far too Jate to hope to purchase others. The notion of Mrs. Jacki-on at Ratte-.'^oa was not to be en- tertained for a moment: consequently, the ctudio and Mr- Morlaud were my only hope. At my door I had to leave Lilith in the cab. dreadfully afraid list even nw she might give me the Blip again, after mak- ing her promioe on her honor to remain in the cab until my return. "I am too tired and sleepy to run away azain," whimpered Lilith. 'Besides, I know it's no good now. So 1 promte* 1 ." In the studio I found lire. Morland. looking pale, tired, and flabby. I cut short the plaintive rei-ord of her experl enfiv by telling h'-r that Lilith was wait- ing below in the cab. "Thank goodness!" he exclaimed. "And now that you have found her. Mr. Her vey. you must put her in my care. To- night we will rtleep a-t a hotel, and to- un.rrow we will go b.iok to Bristol." "To-morrow," I said. "I shall get a iprrinl license, and marry Lilith." "Marry her!" almost shrieked Mrs. Mor land. "On the top of all this mad con- duct? Mr. Hervey. you cannot be in your right senses!" "My mind i- made up. all the eame," I aid "and I will not trouble you with the care of Lilith after to-night." Mrs. Morland clutotu-d her traveling cloak and small portmanteau. "No!" g>he said, in most determined tout's. "If you really mean to marry Lilith Saxon. Mr. Hervey. I wash my hands of her entirely, and from thie moment I dwline to see he:'. I consider H|H* hac* treau-d both you and me abom- inably. I urn not complaining over th* hundred and cfventy-ftvp pounds I shall !<>< by her flight, although I am much in i.eed of it "Si.>p!" I eaid. "I will sit down now and write you a chock for a hu drod and seventy-five pounds, to take .iw.iv with you. on one condition that is. that you will for that amount sell me the conten<t of your litt'.e traveling valise, and also th.it long dust-cloak yon carry over your arm." Her bright, catlike-, greenish-gray eyes d.l.:tid ind irliwtened. "Whit can you possibly want them for?" i !: a>krd. "For Lilith. le it a bargain?" She only hwitutod n second or two. "If ymi will lot im- take out my trin- ki-t -ind one or two little thing*. 1 agree." Blu> K:iid. then. And a few nnnuti-s later I accompanied her to the door, and saw her disappear in tin 1 fog. walking rapidly, and not even once s'.uiciiig in tho direction of tho cab in .waiting before the door. Thon I sought Lilitli. not without some dre.id of finding her flown. But she was f.^t .i-U-en in u corner of the hunsom. and I had to awaken her to tell her to Blip Mrs. Morland s all-enveloping travel. iiiB cloak round her before she entered the house. Up to the studio I led her, and showed her where Mrs. Morland had n.-a:!y placed a change of dre-.-e. and tho other contents of hor traveling bag on a cl:a.r and spread -i copy of an evening paper over them. 'Here is some fi-minine attire, dear," I said, "and here are plenty of cushions and the meet comfortable, of sofas for a good leep. And here is the bell which communicates with iny niun Wrenshaw's room, and hero ie another which will awukeii my landlady, a very kind old wo- man who wilt couio in to you when you have changed your dxes, if you want- her. To-night. I shall stay at :v hotel in the ii-xt street, but to-morrow early I will call and see how you a.rc. And this tima to-uiorrow. dea.r, I hope we slia.ll be man aiul wife." "You are very, very good." hp said, looking up at me with tearful eyes, and after extracting another solemn promise that she would not run away, I kiscd her forehead and U-ft her. And thus passed the eve of my wedding- day. CHAPTER XXIII. Next, day, a tnrriblo day, fo wiill, bl.ick and blinding, and drizzling rain, I arriv- ed at my studio before midday, carrying In my pocket a special license tor the immediate marriage of l,ih;!i Saxon, pinker aged s^venteoji, daughter . of Borac* Saxon, actor, and Adrian Blakis- ton JU-rvey, bachelor, aged twenty-eight, eon of Colonel Hcirvey. I found Lilith in the. big armchair, look- ing very slight and uale and fragile, In a bl.u-k eilk gown of Mrs. Mo'-laiid's, six iz.M too large for her. in whic.h her litMo houl "f cropped yellow curls a nd small, ohilii .-h f:i<'i' :-<>emed altoffetlir-r leot.

"I wonder you take me when I showed so plainly that I didn't want you." "To tell you the truth, so do I! But I am o certain, dear, that I caoi make you happv. and c.in make you love me. that I am cot afraid you will run away again when once you are my wife." "Air-ian." he said, with her little hands 0:1 niy sJiouldere, looking with pa- thetic eurntotnesB down into my eye*, "if you marry me you will be making the greatest mistake of your life." Something in her unwonted earnestneee chiHed me. "Do you luve any one else?" I asked. "Mo. no!" "Is there any one etoe you would like in marry?" "No one in the world! I would much rather not marry at all." That was all I could get out of her. but I would not be discouragiHl. 1 Had al- ready arranged for the ceremony to take plaoo at half-past twelve in the old < hurch on tho Kmbankmeat. and there waa n-uch hurrying about and packing to be done, unaided by old Wrenehaw. who sent down by my landlady a request that I would dispense with hie services that day. as h* was "laid up wiUi rheuma- tism." On the way to the church we had to c'.ake a digression into a linen-draper s to buy for Lilith a. black jersey-bodice to wear instead of Mrs. Morlandb catM*ciou garments, and a pretty hat instead of the elderly looking jet bonnet, alao belong- ing to that lady, which Lilith bad appro- priated. Then came the dimly lit church, and Lilith trembled like a leaf before the wind ae she aJmout inaudibly murmured the words of the service. The fog wia so thick we could scarcely eee each others faces; ami both the clergyman, au ab- sent-minded man with gray, wispy hoar and whiskers, who coughed and blinked behind h:e spectacles, and the officious, loud-voiced clerk, ueemed anxious to get the whole aU'air over a* speedily ao pos- sible. There was no one to give the bride away, but ihe clerk hastily volunteered to perform that cfflce. Indeed, so anxious did he sewn to get us all safely out of tlie. fog-laden building, and himuelf home to his early dinuer. that I am convinced be would have dra-.vu the line at nothing save marrying th bride himself When we. "<>t into a four-wheeled cab io drive to Victoria Station, Lilith broke down altogether and burst into a paswou It eeeme such .1 dreadful, dreary be- ginning!" eh- sobbed. "And. oh. how will it all end?" I folded her in my arms and ooverei her face with eoft. lingering kisses. Shu was mine now. and no one could take n fre.ni me. With Lilith as my wife I could well afford to laugh at fortune. "There is no one in this world eo happy as I at this moment," I said. "All the dreams of joy I ever had. meant only thin-to hold close to my heart the oni woman in the world I love with all my heart and soul, and to know thut ehe is mite, my wife. Ah. don't cry. my love, one! Why should the thought of belong- ing wholly to me make you cry. when J would die to save you the least pain, one oan sec us in this kindly fog.

But gradually her old dimpling smile broke through, and a love ly blush stole- over her cheeks. " Vfter all." she tsaid. with wime-thing between a laugh and a sigh, "you wanted me moru than anything in the world, and now you have me. So that one of us at least is happy." CUAPTKR XXIV. Six months later. Mr. and Mrs. Adrian Hervt--' returned to London, after a pro- longed cruise in Italian waters, and took up their abode in a pretty, detached red briek houte and studio in the near vicin- ity of Holland Park. I had no wish to come home, but Lint eon tided U) me one day that sha was tired of the sea and tired of traveling, aud wanted to have a house of her owa. And it must be all ready for her to come to. he said as ^Ow did not understand fur- nishing, and could not be bothored with engaging servants. So at her urireut request, though sorely against iny will, I left her in a hotel in Paris, while I crossed and rccroseed the Channel, and spent tny timo in London buying and furnishing a tim.-e which 1 wanted to make in every way worthy of its lovely mistrese. It w.03 strange how much In all these tr-ineaetions I nii<*sed Madge's advice and assistance. Until this point in my career she had always been my right hand in a change of studios, and even in the pur- thafeo or alteration of the furniture of uiy roome. In my work, too, I missed her. for she had invariably taken the keenest interest in every picture I undertook. It waa not to be expected that a girl wo young and inexperienced as my Lilith could pee**-!* intuitively that knowledge and judgment in art matters which Madge, who was eight years her senior, had gained through frequenting iiud stiidyiiie all the picturc-galleriee of Eu- rope" Selfish a.' most men are. I wanted in Madge a counselor, a friend, and sis- tor, while in Uilith all I wished for was a woman to adore. And 1 did ador? her. the more madly, perhaps, that I toon became convinced I did not wholly understand her. She was always affectionate, always eweet- tempered, easily amused, and easily mov- ed to a light-hearted BohaOkiM gaiety, both delightful ai:d infectious. She- eecm- ed happy in my society, ehe took my caresses sweetly, and she aeeepted my devotion with a. dainty gracefulness and charm. And yet, somehow, the notion would comp into my head that I was married to a fairy, and this creature of ideal loveliinvs. whose forget-uie-not blue eyes reflected while they did not return th passionate love of my gaze wae not a real live woman at all. but that some morning I i hould wake, to miss her gold- en head and to know that she- had flown haek to fairy land. s.-ine lines of Browning's tha-t I eame across in Venice on our travels seemed so mado Jiud meant for LMith that their truth hurt me: "That fawnki:i dappled hair of hers. And tlie blue eye. Dear and dewy. And that infantine fresh air of hers!" Tho man who wrote those line* might have hud uiv wife before him to inspire him.

It was not that she wae eolJ aa well call a child cold that elipe off one'e knee to ohaae a butterfly. She was always glad to eee me, always pleased to be with me. and she hated above all things to be left alone. It wae etrangely difficult to paint with her in the room. Not only did my eyea inetinotivoly turn to her bright pre- sence, but, truth to tell, she was a. ter- rible fidget. 8ho could not read, ehe could not keep etill. Kh would practise dance steps aud ballet twirls we had seen at theatres, for she insisted on frequenting any and every place of amusement where there, wae any dancing to be seen. Mho would strum on the pia-no, or pretend to "tidy" drawers and boxes, & process that involved upeetUng gloves, ribbons, lae.M, bows, and ehoe all over the floor of my temporary studio, where in all probabil- ity they would remain until I trod them out of shape, or the chambermaid etole them, for Lilith was constitutionally un- tidy, ae well as extravagant, in grea* thinee as in small.

She never remembered whether bil'.n had or had not been paid, and usually curled her locks with the receipts.

He predicts, indeed, that unless England does increase her armed forces she will ceae to be consider- ed by France and Russia as a de- sirable member of the triple en- tente, and will be left to shift for herself in the game of European diplomacy.

Em P irc - his survey of the growth of European armament, he says : What Germany is Doing. "We naturally take stock in Ger- many first because this power is al- ways forward in armament, and on the whole sets the pace which other powers have to live with if they can. There has been no slackening of German preparation for war, but quite the contrary. Now, as al- ways, the aim of Germany is to obtain the largest possible numeri- cal vaJues consistent with quality and to acquire the utmost fighting efficiency at the shortest notice. The personnel of the German navy has been doubled in the last ten years and continues to expand. Three new German ships of Dreadnought type are to be commissioned this year, and by the autumn Germany will have in full commission a great fleet of battleships and battle cruis- who was the recipient of a knight crs O f w hich only a few will not be- bachelorhood this week, is the Hon.

The difficulties were over | come and the new law begins to bear fruit. The array is still short I of 3,000 officers, but it is expected that this deficit will be made good in two years. By the. spring of 1915, when the second increased an- nual contingent will be not only incorporated but mobilizable. the German peace establishment will nearly have reached the figure of S70.000 of .all ranks, and the law should have received complete ap- plication by the end of the same year. The reserves will grow an- nually until they ultimately num- ber 5.400,000 fully trained men. A large increase in the number of re- servists called up for training this year enables ranks to be well filled at any moment of danger. In France. As to France, the writer says: "The covering troops ou the Ger- man frontier are now sufficient to meet any type of attaque brusquee. and tho peace strength of the French army as a whole no longer presents that dangerous inferiority to the German figure which former- ly caused such serious anxiety. At the same time, France is still much inferior to Germany in peace strength and has considerable forces tied up in North Africa. She is also beaten in the battle of re- Territories.

From 1879 until 1896 he was Mani- toba Counsel for the Department of Justice, and in 1SSO he was one of the Royal Commissioners to inves- tigate and report on the administra- tion of justice in the North-West reserves than the German.
