"Lot the marriage Malts place at the light- house by all means." Rutledge had therefore to set to work, sparing ueither panus do money, to make the place a veritable fairy bower for the great occasion, Although Mark Sefton had beeu raised to great wealth and affluence, he could never be in- duced to give up possession of the old light -house.

She could not forget a remark Uldene had once made, which at the time, although spoken in jest, hitd nutde a great impressiou upon her. The subject under discussion had been a young lover who had nutrried a year after the desalt of- a pretty sweetheart, who had pined :sway because her guar- (Mu uardittet had septuatcd her from this lover.

They could not bury me so deep but what I should haverisen-" The words haunted the Mother's an- xious heart, try hard us she could to forget them. "Uldene is lying cold and dead in her grave," she murmured, gazing down into the blue naves. "She can never come between Verlie end her love again." There was 0 merry party- waiting at the light -house to receive thein, and wel- come the bride -elect buck to her old home. "'Mid pleasures and palaces though we may roam, Be it ever so humble, there's no place like home,' " murmured Vetlic, with tears in her pretty blue eyes, as she walked up the well -remembered path, ,surrounded by her friends. Early the next morning the bridal trousseau—a marvel of art—arrived. Noddy Temple was alone with Verlie when it was unpacked. "Oh, do try it on, dear" she cried, en-. thtudastically. "I cannot wait patiently until to -morrow evening to see the ef- fect. Do try it on. That's a darling," Against her better judgment, Verlie allowed herself to be pct'snaded into donniug it, even to the tiny white kid slippers, the orange wreath and filmy veil. "You will, look dike att angel. Verlie," declared Neddy-, impulsively throwing her arms arouud her friend, and kissing her rapturously.
