ty nay+ At the church they were met with almost a caressing tenderness by Mr. Dantin and a sad shake of his head. "I ‘am sorry," he said to Mrs Darling, """that year resolution was not o lc «shaken." «drawn out, that is all." . "But," and for once there was a ‘touch of p tulance in the girl‘s voice, as ther eyes clouded with tears, "it is so oulike_him. I fear something mast have happermedâ€"to Tam>~â€"Philip," she ‘added, making a sudden appeal to a man who was to be made her brotherâ€" ynâ€"law, Shave you any idea what it means 1" "I¢ â€" How should TY‘ was the reply, as the elder Dancm shuffled away. Philip‘s face was unusuxally pale, "There was no candor in his eycâ€"even seen through his spectacles The words reached Mrs. Darling‘s ears. _ "Oh, no," she replied promptly, with an icy but sparkling amile. "Dear Bva is quite satisfied that John Dantin will not fail to bepresent. He is a man «of his word." ©Do not fear," was Mrs. Darl reply. "Of course he will be there. wiil not dare"â€" Then she stop There had been a momentary flas her eyes of a very pugnacious kind The lady tossed her head slightly and seemed disposed to be angry. "It is a most extraordimary thing," she exâ€" claimed, looking at the clock in the west of the church. It wanted eight minutes to the time. As for Jack Dantin, he was the very fellow to secure a girl like Eva. He was a handsome lad, frank a~d generâ€" ous. they were likely to make a comely couple at the altar, with the great tombs of departed Dantins north and south of them. Meanwhile, though everything was quite ready for the bridal procession to Jeave the Retreat and cross . the road, there was delay. To was to be a quiet wedding. â€" A duzen friends of the Darâ€" lings were in the drawingâ€"room talking and smiling and enjoying the perfume of the flowers which lay on the tables. Still there was clearly a hitch someâ€" where. The smiles were somewhat forced, and the guests fell silent sudden ly now and then. Eva Darling was the bride. Her mother had occupied the Retreatâ€" as the red house with the high walls around it was calledâ€"for about ten years. Sbe was a widow, and Eva was her only child. Mrs. Darling made civil forays into their midst at imntervals. _ She was eviâ€" dently a strongâ€"minded woman, as was indicated by her composed manner, her hard, incisive tones aud her cold, searchâ€" ing blue eycs. "Three days ago," added Mrs. Darâ€" ling. "Yes, there‘s no denying it. But Jack Dantin is an odd fellow, though au excellent one besides." Here Eva herself entered the draw ingâ€"room, uind all eyes sped toward her. An audibleâ€" murmur . of satisfaction arose, and certain men of the party enâ€" ied the bridegroom inx oluntarily. She was a â€" Leautiful bride, undeniably. Though pale and disturbed, as any maiden in her place would have been, there was such sweetness in her expresâ€" sion that for the moment people forgot that she had cause for auxiety. _ Three or four damsels of her own age crowded mbout her, yoluble with congratulations. "My dear," said her wotber, "it is a quarter to eleven. We Lad better atart." Eva‘s eyes asked the question that every one else was askingâ€""Has he come {" Thiee minutes to eleven, and still no bridegroom. For an explanation of this unusually »dramatic sceve in Tong church we wust go back three days. Philip Dantin had striven to keep his rage ugainst his brother within due bounds, but bad failed. His stuffed specimens in the subterrancun rooms could not console him, nor could his live beasts either, These underground rooms were quite a remarkable feature of the Great House. They dated from the sixteenth century, if not earlier. _ For a hnndred years or more they were disused. Philip. however, persvaded his father to expend money in making them tolerâ€" ably babitable and very suitable for the kind of museum he had necumulntâ€" ed. _ The furthermost of thein was the very "sanctum sanctorum" of his operâ€" ations. At its extreme end there was an ancient doorway of chiscled stone several inches in thickness and beyoud that utter darkness and the begiuning of a ladyrinth which had not been exâ€" plored for ages and was left to itself. It was believed to have no i<sue, The old rector pui a gay face on the ‘business. "You will have to come another day, my dear Miss E/a," be said, "that is all, _ You must not wind. It is the linked sweetness of expectation long ‘*Yes, hut dear Mrs. Darling, it is so very odd, this sudden disappearance," objected one of the guexts. Some one was canght whispering "Will it not have to be postponed T‘, On the third evenirg before the day that was to make him a happy fellow Jack Dantin found his wey into liis brother‘s den to huve a chat with him. For a time Phil‘p bore with his high spirits uncomplainingly, though Jack‘s praises of Eva were like so many tLorus THEIR WEDDING DAY. was Mrs. Darling‘s he will be there. He Then she stopped. momentary flash in in his side. Eventually, however, his patience gave way. He uttered an exclamation which , made his brother start in surprise. "Itis rather hard, but the less said about it the better Twenty years hence it will not matter a straw." Then it was that, like a lightning flash, the dreadfal suggestion rushed into Philip‘s mind. "Oh, by the way," he said casually, "I wish you would oblige me by giving » hand to this skinâ€" bed thing. I want it out of my road for a time." "Certainly, Phil. Where shall we cart it ?" was the reply, as Jack surveyâ€" ed the gruesome body of a firyed alliâ€" gator, upon which the elder Dantin had been operating. He resolved to try the passages to see if baply he might prove the truth of the old legend which made them a sort of arterial connection between the church and the Great House. The first day was spent in these grim gropâ€" ings, which seemed likely to be only to fuule. . Their only result was to make him lose himself iu the stifting maze. That night he slept he knew not where, with a Llock of chisled stone for a pilâ€" low. _ A match light had shown him that he was in a sort of ‘culâ€"deâ€"sacâ€"a pile of stone fragiment, exarth and bits of iron barring the way, as it seemed, to fature prhgress in thit direction. The second night wos a sorrowful one indeed. â€" There were times when the poor fâ€"llow felt be should lose his senses. At last, however, he slept, and when be. awoke tbe struck one more match and then, as Providence witled it, espied on the ground a morsel of colored glass, us if ic had fallen at some time from a window. The sight instantâ€" Tf:fia‘dghim forgerins maddening bunâ€" ger and despair, and he set ro work upon the barrier th $ was beore him. "Why old fellew, what is the matâ€" ter ? You surely don‘tâ€"" Hestopped. There was that in Philip‘s face which told bim much. The key was found, the heavy stone door was swung open, they carried their disgusting burden into the corriâ€" dor, and then Philip who. was nearest the rcom, slipped back, banged the door and locked it, and had sped upâ€" stairs and into the park in a remarkably short space of time. He threw the key into one of the ponds, and then fell to congrâ€"tulating himself upon his diaâ€" bolical conduct. Since then he had not visited his museum, . The doors were all fast lockâ€" ed. No one could get nceess to them. If Jack Dantin shouted till his lungs burst no one would hear hi. ‘"Yes ; you have guessed it," said Philip, with a shrug of the shoulder. Jack was silent. He sympathized with his brother more than he could tell in words. It may be imagined what a wretched yet fearfally glad time this interval beâ€" fore the wedding toâ€"lay was for Philip Dantin. e professed to be entirely ignorant of his brother‘s whereabouts, but hinted at baving seen him striding across country toward a certain large town whence there was a constant train counceted with Londen. Poor Jack, when he had realized what hbad befallen him, gave himself up for lost. _ It was terrible to rememâ€" ber where he was under such cireumâ€" stances, and stunning to recall that it was his brother who had incareerated him. _ As the hours sped by he saw clearly that le was destined to die and that Philip meant to profit by his death. Tike most habitual smokers he carried ma ches with him. . For a time he was lavish with them, then he husbanded them. ‘The hours passed, _ His watch told him that it was night _ He wound it up, slept, reawakened and struck more matches. "The passage is just the place for T‘ll find the key," _ upon the barrier th & was belore him. How he toiled at lis tisk ! ~At first he horrowed with his h ger= ; Jatterly he used a sharp edsed piece of stone shaped like a chisel. _ A l «ay he workâ€" ed.. The wa‘l diminished in thickness. A sudden breath of airin his face told hiin he ha t mmade a clean breach someâ€" where, though he conld not feel where. He worked on through the night. His weddingâ€"day dawned above, and he was still boring in this noisome hole for dear life and his bride. Gradually the current of air increasâ€" ed in volume, and at length he had made a passage through which he could worle his way. He looked at his watch by the light of his last match but one. It was nine o‘clock of his wedding morning. Though ready to faint from fatigne and exhaustion he went on in this new passage, groping like a mole. _ It seemâ€" ed to him that he had lived all his days in darkness. . Ten o‘clock 1 Half past 10 ! _A quarter to 11! Ata quarter to 11 he was suddenly drzzled by a faint streak of blessed ‘daylight. Tt was far in front of him, or seemed so. He ran toward it on hands aud knees, touched & wooden door with his fingers, uttered a cry of joy, pushed the door, which yieled, aud saw before him a thiek red curtain, which be recognized in a moment as belonging to the vestry of Tong Church. Three minutes to 11, and still no bridegroom ! A second later, however, Jack Dantin staggered from the vostry door into the church aud saw and was seen by the wedding partyâ€"a sorry spectacle of mud and mire, bruised and bleeding, and with his clothing torn in all directions. it "I am not too late, after ;J," he cried, and then down he fell y the altar railings. Some one also fell almostat the same instant.
