' if lis ISfe By DOUGLAS MALLOCH (CopjTisht) CHRISTMAS wed ding is always a very charming thing, The holly lends such gaytfty to the decorations, and the mistletoe seems so appropri ate. Then it makes oue present do where otherwise two would have been required. And anyone who brings that to pass is a public benefactor. ;ThIs reference to the wedding, of course, right here at the very opening of the story, really makes the story superfluous, which is Bostonese for "no use." In a story, the wedding is supposed to be the '"ery last thing. Harry was a young arthltect and engineer who had only Just opened an office ia the town. When he came out of college he readied the conclusion that he would ;o better to set up a business la sor.ie small town and jrrow up with it than to f;rov old unnoticed in some, older towu. That is how he came to be here.. He met Harriet soon after hh arrival and it wasn't long lie fore m was desperately in love with her. , There really wasn't very much the iut!Ucr with Hurry except Harriot. And there wesu't anything at ull the uuaur with Harriet in Harry's opin ion. So, after he had got down to business both ttt his cilice and w.th Harriot .die said '-Yes." Their mur riagi' brought them a great deal of happiness, uud; what was more pe culiar, u great deal of happiness to Koiiiooni' who wasn't related to thein In nny way. Which Is w hat the story is about. This other person not only was not related to them, but was scarcely known to them. She lived in the other end of town. Elm avenue runs fight through the town from ast to west. At one end, the west end, It Is well named, for It Js bordered by stately elms thut shade fine residences, and cozy bungalows, like that which Harry had provided for Harriet, planned with the architect's best thought. It had been arranged that they wore to be married at high noon on Christ mas day ut Harriet's old home. Then thorp was to be u quiet family dinner there, followed by a reception to their friends at Harriott new home, whore open bouse was to be kept in honor of the day and the event. There their friends gathered In the afternoon, and there the present utiori was to occur, For Harry's young men friends, of whom there were a few despite his j short residence in the town, and Har riet's, of whom there were more, had decided to give them, In addition to all the "little stuff," one practical gift of lurger proportions. So they had "chipped in" and bought them a mag nificent leather rocker, one of the big, comfortable kind ; and that was to be ' N "I Can't See What Has Happened" duly presented at the hour of Its ar rival that afternoon. It had been ar ranged that It was to be delivered while nil the young folks were there, as a sort of surprise extra offering. But, as the afternoon wore on, the face of the chairman of the delegation, who was to make the presentation speech, grew longer and longer. "I can't see what hus happened," he said In confidence to a group of the fellows, when an opportunity for con fidences arrived, "and why that darned chair doesn't come." . "Are you sure you gave them tht right number, and everything?" some one asked. "Sure 87 Elm street West. That' Bimnlo enough." it must have been five o'clock when one of the boys had an inspiration "Do you suppose by any chance thai elinir was delivered to S72 Elm street East?" he asked. - At last bore was a clue; nnd th chairman, a chairman without a chair ii nd a Self-appointed research commit toe of three, loaded themselves lnt b enr, after making unbelievable ex crises to the bride and groom, - anf ' speeded away across town in pursul OS iC-r' -.
