Wedding Bells
For Ananias
The Story of His "Deep
T rouble"
By EDITH L. WINSTON
It was several months after Ananias
Slluo went to board with the Widow
Rowell that I journeyed down to
Quince Harbor to spend golden Octo
ber days In the cozy home of Captain
Barnabas Fish and his good wife Ma
ria, nee Weeks.
"And how Is your friend Ananias
Sltne?" I asked the Jovial captain as
we sat around the supper table the
night of my arrival.
•'Ananias? -Miss Telham, ma'am,"
said the captain gravely, "Ananias
Rline is in deep trouble."
"Now, Barnabas Fish," protested
Maria, but a smile crinkled around her
merry eyes.
"Trouble?" I echoed. "Not trouble
at the bank?" for Ananias occupied
the dignitled and responsible position
of porter and man of all work in the
First bank of Quince Harbor.
"Dear me, no—matrimouial trouble!"
responded the captain.
"I did not know that Ananlns was
married." said I.
"He isn't, but the knot's to be tied—
when. Maria?"
"Hettle says next Wednesday."
"Aye." chuckled the captain, "Het
tie Rowell says the knot's to be tied
next Wednesday in the First Metho
dist church, but Ananias, he says,
never!"
"So It's the Widow Rowell who has
captured the affections of Ananias
Sline?" I niusod.
"She's captured him, all right, but
he's swearing he'll cast off and steer a
course for China. I've been through
three tantrums with him this week.

and he says he'd rather he a corpse—
a dead corpse—than a bridegroom. Fie

I'd nither be a dead corpse.'
" 'She enn't uiarry you If you never
asked her.' I says to him. aud he
screamed at roe: 'She can't, eh? Ton
don't know her thou.'
"Then I up and asked him if he did
ask her to marry him, and he says he
never did. never thought of It. didn't
want to and would be confounded If
he would." ,■
There was a knock at the door.
Maria opened it to admit a rather
round shouldered, elderly woman,
whose weazened face was set in a per
petual smile that showed even rows of
false teeth. Her gray hair was drawn
up iuto a knot 011 top of her bead, and
a pink bow was pinned coquettishly
over one ear.
"Well, Mrs. Uowell." greeted the
captain as she entered the sitting room
and shook hands with me. "how goes
everything?"
"Beautifully!" exclaimed the bride
to be. her smile widening. "1 came
over to ask Maria's advice. 1 suppose
they have told you. Miss Telham?"'
she simpered.
"Yes. and you must allow me to
wish you happiness," 1 said.
"Thank you, dearie," she said sweet
ly. "Ananias is certainly a rare man."
"lie is indeed." I replied.
"But sby." went on the widow
thoughtfully, fixing one of her little
dark eyes on me while the other squint
ed obliquely at Captain Baruabas.
"Why, he says, says he: 'Dear Hettle,
I'd ruther be walking to my own fu
neral than to be going up the aisle of
the church to my wedding.' says he.
'It affects-me that way.'"
"He will recover his nerve at the
last moment," I cheered her.
"He's got to get over it," she said,
with such deadly sweetness in her
tone that 1 began to fee! rather sorry
for Ananias.
Maria came into the room fresh and
tidy from her dishwashing Sh'' pick
ed up some knitting, and her needles
clicked busily.
"What you going to wear, Hettio?"
aaked Maria practically.
"White," replied Mrs. Itowell calmly.
"I'vo thought it all out, Maria. I wore
white for my first bridal when I mar
ried Jasper Jones. Then, being a wid
ow, I wore gray when 1 married Hen
ry Rowell. Now I feel like I've swung
back to first place again, and so I've
concluded I'll wear white.
"And now, captain, how about you
standing up with Ananias at his wed
ding?" She smiled playfully at him.
I'rom nowhere in particular came a
hollow voice that _annwered the wid
ow's Question.
"Pallbearer!" was ita ominous sug
gestion.
The Widow Rowell screamed and
closed her eyes. The captain glanced
wildly around, and I conress tnat i
was startled. Only Maria knitted on
calmly, unconcernedly.
"Why, what was that?" I nskod.
■ "What was what?" asked Maria In a
surprised sort of way.
Mrs. Rowell sat up, and sparks flash
ed from her eyes In all directions. Her
rather hooked nose almost appeared to
meet her sharp upcurvlng chin.
"I thought 1 beard something," she
said, still smiling.
"I heard a tree toad outside In the
lllock bush, ma'am," said the captain
Innocently.
"Go on with your story, Hettle,"
urged Maria.
"I'm rather upsot." confessed the
widow, after a moment's hesitation.
"1 kinder thought It sounded like the
warning voice of Henry Rowell. Henry
was a very Jealous husband, though be
had no cause to be," she added hastily.
"Most husbands are Jealous of their
handsome wives," said the captain gal
lantly.
The widow simpered sweetly at him.
"You are a case, Barnabas Pish!" she
chlded archly. "I was asking yon if
you would stand up with Ananias
Wednesday, bo his best man?"
"Pallbearer!" croaked the hollow
voice.
"Will you?" persisted the widow, but
her face was pale.
"Of course," said the captain In a
hearty voice. "I'll stand by the bride
groom."
"Corpse!" rattled the hollow voice.
But the widow was undaunted *8
yet. She had set her heart on surpris
ing Quince Harbor by her unexpected
wedding to the porter in the bank, and
she was not to be frightened out of'it
by the spiritual warnings of a dead
and gone spouse or a tree toad, but the
widow had leanings toward spiritual
ism. It was a cult that attracted her
romantic nature.
"We will drive around after you and
Maria," went ou the widow doggedly.
"We're goiug to have A1 Murray's
hack"—
"Hearse!" Interpolated the hollow
voice.
"And I've bought the wedding ring"—
"Casket!" came the interruption.
"Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h!" screeched the Wid
ow Rowell, and she went at once into
violent hysterics.
Maria and I flew around, applying
remedies to her nose, while the cap
tain tiptoed out to the kitchen stair
way that led to the loft overhead, and
I heard his deep voice rumbling. Some
times it was^broken by chuckles and
again by another voice disagreeably
high pitched.
At last the widow came to, looking
yellower than ever, but there was a
new light In her shifty eyes. They
blazed with excitement, and her toil
worn hands trembled.
"Maria." said she solemnly, "I've had
a warning. I shan't marry Ananias—
not yet. maybe not at all. I'll wait,
and you'll bear In mind that when it
happens you and Barnabas Ml stand up
with us Just tile same"—
"Pallbearers!" came In a hoarse whis
per.
Mrs. Rowel! trembled, but her wide
smile did not relax. It was fixed as
♦.hough painted there.
"You see, Maria and Barnabas and
Ml*3 Telham," she said almost pathet
ically. Including all three In a swift
zigzag yiii:ice, "I'm considerable shook
up now, tibd I want to study up on
this spirit business before I go ahead."
"Cheer up. ili-ttie," said the captain,
grasping her li'ind warmly. "By next
June you and Ananias will be signing
papers and setting sail on a pleasant
sea of—er—matrimony!"
"Maybe!" The widow's tone was enig
matic. As she opened the door to de
part she added in her customary man
ner: "I'm glad I didn't announce it to
any one else, and 1 guess I'll go home
and stir up some cornraeal grlddle
■cakes for Mr. Sllne's breakfast I've
got to do something to make up to him
for bis disappointment"
"And a man's heart being by way of
his stomach, why, you're taking the
right track," approved Maria.
When we were alone Maria fixed her
bright eyes on her husband's twinkling
blue ones.
"How long has Ananias been up In
the kitchen loft?" she asked.
"Since before dinner," answered the
captain. "He came all a-tremble, say
ing he'd hang himself If he wasn't
saved, and I didn't know what to do
about it. It so happened the widow
came-In tonight, and I guess Ananias'
feelings got the best of him. and he
Jest naturally figured out a course for
hlmsolf and sailed Into a safe harbor.
He's gone back to the widder's now,
feeling pretty secure that she won't
marry him yet awhile.
"By the way. Maria," he added, "An
anias says he found a punkin pie and
a pitcher of lemonade up in the loft,
and he et 'em up. I wonder bow they
came up there?"
"1 took 'em up myself after dinner,"
smiled Maria triumphantly, and I did
not blame Captain Barnabas wben be
kissed her warmly. "•
Th# 8neeiing Prayar.
The custom of following a sneeze
with a prayer goes 80 far back Into
the past It la nest to Impossible to say
when It actually began. According to
Btrada the custom originated among
the ASByrlaus, who, through an opin
ion of the danger that attended It, aft
er the act of sneezing made a short
prayer to the goda. The Romans aft
er sneezing cried out "Jupiter, help
me!" The custom la mentioned by
Homer, the early Jewish writers and
others, ana is found among many sar
' age tribes.
What Surprised Him.
Dr. Thirdly was a mild, gentle and
prosy clergyman. But at one evening
service be grew a bit sarcastltc.
"I Bee a great many of you sleeping,"
said the good doctor mildly. "I do not
wonder at this, tor your work Is hard,
and many of you have come a long
way. Therefore I am not surprised
to see many of you sleeping soundly,
but what does surprise me a little Is
to see so many sleeping who had such
a comfortable sleep at both our morn
ing and our afternoon service."
Sailor* In Calm Weather.
R. M. Hallett, writing's B&r story In
the American Magazine, makes the
poiuc that a calm doesn't mean much
on a steamship where the mind Is
constantly satisfied and appeased by
movement On a sailing ship, how
ever, it Is different On a sailing ship
in a calm a skipper is in more danger
of having trouble with his crew than
in stout weather where all is action.
The idea is that a calm forces a man
to think, and the author adds, perhaps
too cynically, "t<m force a man to
think and he will think evil."
Horrible.
"Oh, Henry," she said when she had
thrown off her wraps and flung herself
Into a chair, "I'm so mortified."
"What's the matter, dear?"
"I met Mrs. Biggies at the reception
this afternoon and she seemed so nice
that I stood there before the crowd for
half an hour and talked to her. When
we were leaving her chauffeur drove
np in an old four cylinder car and
after she had taken her seat in It she
called out right before everybody that
she would expect me to call on her
soon."—Chicago Record-Herald.
