Story of a Christmas Eve
Wedding
By CLARISSA MACKIE
A pale shaft of sunlight slanted
through the uiullioned window and fell
uinn ^ady Rosamond's curly head,
brightening the bronze tresses into '*
crown of gold. She smiled scornfully
as she watched her uncle pacing an
grily up and down the long room. Now
he paused before the fire and looked
steadily at the glowing logs.
"If your Cousin Robert gives you
back your troth, what then?"
Her voice was unwavering. "Do not
try to shake my faith in Robert I
am as sure of his love as I am posi
tive that were 1 married toBroadmead
ow aud his gold wiped out the debt
upon our acres within a twelvemonth
you would gamble it away again."
"□old. minx!" shouted the earl angri
ly. "The lad's owu hand will shake
your faith in that tricksy soldier, I
warrant!" lit* held before her unwlll
ns gaze a sheet of paper which bore
Robert Southley's seal on its broken
edge. She read with whitening face:
Denr I..ottijiiu'udow—This to Inform you
that I • ; i p.irt with my lady for & hun

Lomlor ye 1? day of Nov'r, 17*.
I.ndy Rosamond stood in her bed

tugged at the halter, and the mare
pranced and curveted and arched her
satin neck :;nd snorted disdainfully.
"Whoa, my lady!" shouted the lad.
clinging to the bit as his feet cleared
the grouiiil .'Dee more.
Lady Rosamond pushed wide the
casement and leaned out "Ho, lad!"
she called sharply.
Fie looked up and awkwardly touched
bis forelock.
j "What name do you give the mare?"
she asked.
"'Tis Ladybird, my lady," replied
the blushing youth. "Mr. Robert calls
her 'My Lady' sometimes," be added,
as a heavenly smile broke over the sad
little face at the lattice.
She sj*)Ue again, carelessly, though
her sweet voice trembled.
"Oh, 'tis the mare Squire Broadmead
ow wishes to buy. eh?"
"Yes. my lady."
She throw a coin to the grinning lad
and. closin.tr (he lattice, she broke into
angry sobs.
"I knew Robert was true to me, but
what a scurvy trick to play on a sim
ple glri: How could I know, the mes
sage was so deceiving? That careless
! Hubert. and. oh, the tricksters, to try
I to befool me!"
Sb<? rendered long and earnestly be
fore she stole down to the great stone
fia:;i;ed room where the earl kept his'
private rtccounts and bullied his long
suffering tenants. She dipped a quill
into the huge ink pot and covered Sev
erii sheets with her angular writing.
She printed a kiss on Robert's name
as she folded the missive, and there
was a gleam of mischief in her brown
eyes as she sealed it with the earl's
private spal, which by some mischance
lay upon the table. She addressed the
letter carefully and, when the Ink had
dried, shook the sand from it and, hid
ing it in her bosom, flew up the wide
stairs to her room Robert was in Lon
don, and London was fifty miles away.
The London coach would pass tho park
gates the tiest day; but, even if deliv
ered to the coachman, something might I
present itsaafe delivery. Oh, for a
treaty mttstager! K 3 J'
That evening the earl sent for her.
■ad when ahe entered his library be
looked with surprise upon tbe docility
of her mkn&et. '
"Well, Tsesald gayly, "wilt atop
this silly nonsense and wed Broad
meadow at Tuletide?" '
"I will be wed at Christmas," sh«
replied meekly, wltb downcast eyes.
Two days dragged by, and no chance
arose to send her message to Robert
Then one morning as she lingered
near the lUghroAd Shd beard tho nim
ble of the 'ipproacfifng coach. and,
wrapping' her ' furred cloak' closoly
about' her, she sped into the road and
held up her 'tttsatve together with a
silver coin. A postilion swooped from
his saddle and snatched both'coin and
letter, qpd the coach thundered on to
ward London.
The wedding had been set for Christ
maa evening, and the preparations for
the bridal and'the Tuletide feast went
on apace. Christmas ove dawned gray
and cold. Lady Rosamond crept
around in her old brown velvet gown,
a sorry little figure." v • • -c ♦
She wandered aimlessly from room
to room, and then at twilight she slip
ped into'a warm cloak, called her wo
man fend stepped Into tbe fast gather
lngdufik. » fi-"* i ■
She walked Slowly flown tae avenue
beneath the naked bougba of the oaks.
New the gates crone was gathering
fagots, her wild, gray locks stream
ing in the wind.
"May your ladyship's wedding day
be bright," she cackled shrilly, with a
courtesy;
"Thank you, Ooody," murmured
Lady Rosamond sadly, drawing a coin
from her pocket
As her band touched the woman's
she felt a firm, wahn pressure that
sent the blood singing to her heart A
glance from ardent dark eyes spar
kling beneath the gray thatch of wig
hurried the blushes back to her pale
cheeks, and. with ai apprehensive
glance at ber handmaid, she thrust
a twisted note into her pocket Tko
yawning ablgall was gazing Idly across
the valley and started as her young
mlstreris plucked at ber sleeve. The
crone had-hobbled away, and the two
women walked swiftly back to the
castle.
* A few minutes later Lady Boeamond
was reading the fblded bit of paper
ftorn tter ToVtt*» hand. She sobbed
over the' precious Words of love and
hope that it contained, and ber flag
ging spirits revived with the knowl
edge that ill would" be well with her,
for one unbidden guest kept watch be
yond; the castle gates until the time
appointed.
Tho next 'day the castle resounded
with mirth and Jollity. Savory odors
crept up from the kitchens, where the
groaning spits slowly turned under
their toothsome'burdens. There was
a stirring and mixing of pasties and
sweet bakes, i bustling to and fro
from the musty cellars with certain
ancient, cobWebbed bottles. Huge ham
pers of fruit and frame blocked the
passageways, and * vast array of serv
ants worked and idled, laughed and
grumbled. V
x&« rooms were garianaea wild nony
and mistletoe, *htf Ledy Rosamond
JUtted gayly among heTgueets and ap
peared so happy and so gracious to
alj that Broadmeadow felt that he
might now venture within her pres
ence. ' Her kindly greeting sent his
rusty old pulses beating to youth's time
as he handed 'her to the banquet hall,
where dinner was spread at noon.
' At dtJBk ft was snowing heavily, and
within doors the fun flew fast and
furious. The Stone pared galleries
echoed to flying feet as youth and
beauty played old games beneath the
grim portraits of generations of Dour
leys. • i "»>> «
Some one proposed a game at hide
and seek, and in a moment ono was
blindfolded and the rest scattered here
and there over the great castle. One
by one they were discovered and
emerged from their hiding placesMill
save Lady Rosamond. The bride was
f missing.
p" As time ' passed ' amused curiosity
gave way to anxiety. One had seen
her disappear behind the hind's head
tapestry on the staircase landing, but
diligent search revealed naught but the
the oaken panels of the wall. She was
not within her rooms nor anywhere
that searching eyes could discover.
"Reluctantly they trailed Into the
great half ahd fold"the earl, ♦ho, with
the ancient" bridegroom, still drank be
.fore the tire."' He i^ore savagely as
he listened, and a great feat Showed
itself in Ids face as he limped up the
stairs followed by the company. Broad
meadow stumbled in the rear. On the
staircase landing Lord Douriey tore
aside the hind's head tapestry and at
a touch the oaken panels slipped aside
and tevsaled a dark bpenlhg. A gap
ing lackey stepped fbrWard with a can
dle, and - the' silent company followed
their mutterttig host down-a little wind
ing stair Into the chapel, where a single
candle on the altar shone'Hke-a star.
Near an open door that led into the
yew walk lay something white, and
some one brought forth into the can
dlelight a dainty lace kerchief. The
earl bunt Into angry laughter as he
paused In the doorway.
The "ground before the door was
trampled, lftd « tingle ridge of enow

bona ■Outside the park gates there
were tw<i rldtfee that wound away
along-the fcighW&d. ■
While the castle guests were noisily
dispersing, Lddy'Rosamond and plain
Robert Southley were quietly married
by the waiting clergyman. &
Then they mounted their sturdy
nags and resumed the journey to Lon
don. The clouds broke away, and in
the glow of the Christmas stars
. stretched a Iong, broken track of snow.
