On into the stormy night they went. The thunder sounded nearer and it began to rain, A closer Hash of lightning and she shivered and drew her shoulders together. He took off his coat and made her put it on in spite of her protestations. The rain came in torrents and the wind tossed the girl's Wet hair against his cheek. VVhere is your hat ? I left it at that next to the last awful bump, she groaned. l'll never have anything to do with another wedding as long as I live. That's very plausible, he said. I think it is more forcible when I say l'm sure I Wont. Three miles yetj' the driver answered when they had finally found cour- age to inquire. A hopeless stillness fell. At last Durbison felt the slender figure beside him tremble, and after some time it seemed to him that he heard her crying. lYhat's the matter Pl' he asked in alarm. She sobbed aloud, My fingers are frozenf, VVrap them up in that coatf, C-can't,l' she gulped, my feet are miles off the fioor and l have to hold on. Durbison threw back his head and laughed, Poor little girl! he said, Uwrap them up any way, and if jack objects we'll just tell him it was a case of necessity and mercy. l-le drew her to him and she leaned against his arm, her hands in the pockets of the coat. Isnit it funny F she said at last, our meeting this way, all because I didn't take the early train-and donft you envy Jack at home all high and dry P f'Sorry, he said softly, yes and no. l-le whistled softly for a moment and then went on, Envy Jack? For the first time to-night and probably for the last time ever, l do not envy jackf, The lights of Sanderson came into view and as they arrived at the top of the hill the village clock pointed reprovingly to half past nine. jack Howard came down the steps to meet them as the wagon rattled up the drive. That you, Durbison? Been telegraphing all over the country for you. Got my sister with you? And then as the girl on the wagon seat sprang to the ground, lack turned the bewildered Durbison around to meet a tall girl with blue eyes and brown hair. Here they are at last, Dorothyg stop worry- ing about the rehearsal, we've found the best man and maid of honor. Durbison realized that the mistake was natural, for the description jack had given him of Dorothy would Ht either her or .lacks sister, as far as eyes and hair were concerned. And then in the confusion he caught sight of a little dripping figure trying to steal past up the steps, and he whispered into a tangle of very wet hair: 'Tve changed my mind about another weddingf, but the girl pretended not to hear as she ran lightly up the steps.
