much The discount clerk had gone home
rnea- In fact, even then, I had no suspicions
ehe, and did not look at the entries.
o not That evening Smeadon was not a
ture, dinner. He .did not come back tha
night. He never came back at all.
There was a hubbub next day yo
may well believe, especially when it wa
discovered that Mrs. French had als
Paris carry at the civil portion of
i their marriage contract. They ranked
d themselves on opposite sides of the
ut Mayor's official throne, and faced one
ht another: The Mayor was asking a
of question of on of the bridegroome,
whose attentioi was thus distracted
r from his ibride. On turning round. to
r look at her whe he had answered. the
t- question, he cau ht her making " sheep's
eyes " at the br degroom opposite. Be ing of a jealous temperament, he laid
his hand roughly on her arm, and said,
sharply:
" Mademoiselle, which of the two
brides are you ? Yon are mine, I -be-
lieve; then oblige me by confining your
glances to me."
The bride was „a young Iwo man of
t spirit and, resenting the tone in which
t the reprimand was made, retorted:
"Ah, monsieur, if you are jealous a-
u ready, I am likely to lead a pleasant
8 life with you.!"
° The jealous bridegroom made au.
angry reply, and then the other bride-
groom must need put his oar in,
" Pah 1 monsieur, why should you
make such a fuss because mademoiselle
chooses to favor me with a glance ?"
Thereat his bride turned savagely WE ARE
upon him, and exclaimed :
" Ha; titonsieur, it would. seem, then,
that you likalto have ladies make eyes
at you! Now, I know what to expect
from you; but you Might, at least, have
had the decency to keep this proof of
your faithlessness concealed from me
here.'1
And with this fierce thrust she burst
into tears. In vain the Mayor attempt-
ed to pacify both parties. The bride-
grooms stormed at each other, and. the
brides, between their hysterical sobs,
mutually accused each other of perfidy. ,
What was to be done? At last the
Mayor, losing temper. cried out::
" Am I to proceed with this ()ere-
mony, or am I not ?" • '
The two brides, _with one accord,
screamed " No!"
" Perhaps," said the Mayor, whose
wrath had again cooled down, " you
co-ukl .arrange matters between your-
selves, if you were left alone. Tho
clerk will show you. to my private room.
I will give you half an hour."
At' the expiration of that time, the
parties were summoned to appear again
before the Mayor.
" Have you settled. your differences ?"
he asked.
- Yes, Monsieur le Madre," exclaimed
both bridegroit'ins at once. •
" Oh, then. I may proceed with the
ceremony ?"
Yes, Monsieur le Madre ; but—but"
" Well, what is it ?"
"We have effected. a change, Mon-
sieur le Moire."
A chancre ! What do you mean ?"
"A' ,ehauge of brides, Monsieur le
Maire."
t And so it wa —the jealous bride -
doom had taken the jealous bride, and
the youug lady of the fickle glances had
taken the gentle an who liked ladies
to " make eyes " thirn. The aetonish-
ed. Mayor looke at them in silent
amazement for a moment -or two, but
they met his look unabashed, so he
shrugged his sho • lders and said:
" Well, if yon. re satisfied, it is no
business of mine, I will proceed with
the ceremony."
And married t ey were.
but still inculeutally valuable.

Meantime, Mrs. French occasion

During these six months, Frena

" Certify the thirty-seven,and give me

" I have to step to the President a mo-

have no time to lose."
I confess I did not indulge in the
slightest suspicion. Who would under
the circumstances? I scarcely looked at
the checks. but certified the one and
proceeded:to count out the money for
the other.
Smeadon was back almost before I
had finished. I handed him the check
and bills.

a slight air of vexation. " I started to

At that 'moment the form of Mrs.
French appeared at the door, and all
doubts and fears vanished. She came
directly to my window—there was no
one before her—and held out the same
-
pretty ungloved hand with a check.
This is Mr. Simeox, I believe," she
said, in a low, modest voice. " Your
little sister has become a great favorite
with me. Yon must thank your moth-
er for letting her come te see me."
had not the power of speech, I was
so overcome: I blushed and stammer-
ed, and. tried to count the money for the
cheek. It was for six thousand dollars.
I swear to You that it never occurred to
me that it .vas a very large sum for a
lady to draw. Had it been for six mil -
