friend, teas tost. Both men loved
Diane, daughter of Judge Herford,
hut neither had spoken. Faunce
note asks Diane to marry him and
the accepts but wants him to make
a second expedition. Tortured by
k(* memories, Faunce finally con-
fesses to Dr. Gerry that Overton
teas not dead when he left him.
Faunce found help and was saved,
and later, when they returned for
Overton, there was nothing to be
found but a trackless waste, of snow
left by the blizzard. Diane knows

He patted her head again.
"The best man ever had!”
The words brought back those
words of Faunce about Overton.

The thought thrust itself .suddenly
Into Diane's heart, and took her un-

She laid her head down on her fa-

Inexplicable tears.

Itself—Diane was married to Ar-
thur Faunce.
“The handsomest couple I ever
•aw!” Mrs. Price whispered to Dr.
Morrr, dabbing the moisture from
eer eyes with the handkerchief that
the had already wept into a ball.
Dr. Gerry moved an eye around
to look at her without moving his
’lead, much ae the drowsy crow-
file views curious observer a at the
aquarium; but he made no com-
ment. He had spent the night In
trying to force Faunce to tell Dlam
ihe truth before she married him.
Hd had failed, and waa therefore an
anwflllQg witness at the ceremony.
Dr. Price, small, precise, and
placid, in his white surplice and
blaek cassock, his white hair
smoothed back with what Hornet
Walpole would have called "a
voupcoa of curls behind,” per-
v formed the eerepiony before a
front* of old friend* and neighbors,
U>« only witnesses. Mrs. Price
lifted her plump, wrinkled face
and kissed the bride on botb
«heeks.
"My dear. I wish you every bless-
ing! You remind me of Rachel,
and Ruth, and all the brides of the
Bible." J .
The little woman plunged in
deeper, and was still babbling
along when her daughter, a little
pale and nervous, came to tell Di-
ane it wns time to change her
dress for the journey. Glad to es-
cape, the two girls ran upstairs
together, and Fanny and the maid
made haste to help transform a
whlto-abd-sllver bride Into a trim,
tptlor-made young woman ready
for the train.

shone still more keenly, vlfl al-

It revealed Faunae's counte-

tal panic, from the vision of his
friends. He stood, with his hand •
grippod like a vise on the back of

his fatbrr-in-law. He was like a
man overtaken by sudden calamity ;
arid rooted to tho spot, with no
more power to escape it than tho j
victim o! a nightmare.
Tho judge threw Lack lFs big
head and looked at l;im.
“What can this mean, Arthur?”
Faunce gasped. His mum wag
still reeling, and bis voice sounded
a long way off to his own ears.
“It must be a mistake,” he rc-
p.lled slowly; “a mere newspaper
story—or the wrong name. Over-
t. n ig dead!”
Dr. Gerry, standing back by the
riant 1, wims watching Faunco.
Knowing the story, he was con-
vinced that In some miraculous
way Overton had been rescued,
and that Faunce must know it, too.
Rallying from the first shock,
Fannie was facing it with some
self-control.
“I think I can speak with moro
authority than the newspaper,” ho
managed to say. “I was there!”
“But*—oh, Mr. Faunce, don’t you
think ft’s—It's just possible F
pleaded Mr*. Price, clasping her
hands.
Her little bubbling voice, llko
the pieasant singing of a teakettle,
brought relief to a tense situation.
“That’s the way to look at It,'4
rejoined Dr. Gerry. “L*t'e rejoice
in the hope.”
Judge Herford bent bis hear*
brows. , _
••There can’t be any hope, Ger
ry,” he Hatd flatly, ”lf Faunce has
told us the truth.”
••It’s not a thing about which
any man wonld want to jest,” lie
replied slowly, purposely misun-
derstanding Herford’s speech. “We
believed him dead. If a miracle
has happened, the body must havo
been recovered and resuscitated.
I can’t believe a word of this!”
Herford, however, pursued hla
questions, the lawyer In him roused
to Ignore his new position ss a
father-in-law.
"Then you admit that( bis body
might have been found?”
Faunce hesitated. Ho lookod up
and met Dr. Gerry’s eye, and It re-
vealed tho full force of th* situa-
tion. Gerry believed that Overton
lived!
Faunce experienced again tns
