Two Little Boys in Blue Carry Bride's Train at Picturesque Wedding

Graceful Gown of Pink and White Worn by Miss Dorothy Horton

S tew a rt —Ho rton

TULLE, arranged in crisp and bouffant pointed panels over a rose pink foundation of crepe de chine, lent a piquant charm to the delightful wedding gown worn by Dorothy, the eldest daughter of Dr. and Mrs. W. 11. Horton, of “Wandella,” Synionds Street, when she was married last evening at St. Mary’s Cathedral by Canon Percival James to Jan Bannatyne, the eldest son of Mrs. M. A. Stewart, of Warrington Road, Remuera, and of the late Mr. Alexander B. Stewart, of Normanby, Taranaki.

Exquisite in all its details, her wedding gown was fashioned with a slimly-fitting corsage of embossed chenille, which was attached in deep vandyked points at a low waistline to the billowing skirt of tulle. A graceful train of georgette with effective tulle edging was worn and was trimmed in dainty manner witli tiny pastel pink iiowers, and from a Juliet cap and orange blossoms fell the delicate folds of the bridal veil of brussels lace. A delightful finish was given to the bride’s toilette by her bouquet of white flowers palely touched with pink. Two of the smartest little pages seen at any recent wedding gave a picturesque air to the bride’s retinue. They were little Peter and Pat Samuels, and wore debonair suits of pastel blue satin and ruffled shirts of ivory silk. Mrs. Harold Knight attended the bride as matron of honour and Miss Kitty Horton was her sister’s bridesmaid. Mrs. Knight was wearing a charming gown ot orchid rose georgette embossed with a trail of velvet pansies across one shoulder and down the corsage, and again appearing on the skirt, which from a slender waist-line tiered smartly at one side. Miss Kitty Horton’s frock was of Victorian persuasion, prettily expressed in ring velvet of a briar rose shade, with a skirt of frilled tulle cascading to i an uneven hemline. Doth matron of honour and bridesmai dwore smart hats of tulle to match i their freoks, with brims that were i sharply upturned at one side and down at the' other, and softened with clusters of small flowers beneath the j brim.

much satisfaction in the detective’s voice. “It I could only prove that!” “Get from Melbourne the day Samuel Keene left for Sydney. Find out tiie day he arrived here. Try and find any trace of Samuel Keene in Melbourne, in Victoria. You will not. Then, find out the day Abel Mintos disappeared from Melbourne and compare that date with his arrival in Sydney. You will find a big interval of time. Go back and discover where Samuel Keene is now. I say he . is here, in this room—Abel Mintos.” The muzzle of the gun swung through an arc until it pointed at the Jew’s breast. Over the levelled barrel gleamed the bright eyes, shining through the mask. “So that is why you sent me to Abel Mintos’s flat?” The Inspector spoke meditatively. “I have an idea that telegram came from you, as well as the letter.” “And you muffed it, good aud strong.” For a moment the Shadow Crook glanced at the detective. ”1 gave you every encouragement for a search into the real facts. “Including an unmade bed and two letters with blank sheets of notepaper in them,” Mason laughed. “I’ve puzzled about them for days. Now I’m •rning to put my hands down and get out the cuffs I had the forethought to bring with me to-night. Mr. ShadowCrook. I’ve had you once and you got away. This time . . .” “Nothing doing.” The light laughter of the master-crook rang through the room. "Lower your hands and S I’ll put a bullet through them, and if your body’s behiud them, that’s your fault. I hope you take a prisoner to Darlinghurst Station to-night, but j you’ll find it awkward with bandaged hands.” “Meaning Abel Mintos? ! "Just that. Now before you get fresh, I want those jewels. Where I are they, Mintos?” ! “Where you won’t get them.” With i an angry snarl the Jew sprang suddenly to his feet and dodged behind i Norma. Before anyone could antici-

Their bouquets were of rose and mauve asters. The bride was given away by her father, and th© bridegroom was attended by his brother, Mr. Alistair B. Stewart, as best man, and Mr. John Torrens as groomsman. Mr. Prank Laurie and Mr. N. N. Laurie were ushers. After the ceremony Dr. and Mrs. W. LT. Horton received the guests at “Wandella,” Symonds Street. Stately tiger lilies, feathery asters of softest pastel shades and glorious goldenrod decorated the reception rooms. Mrs. Horton was gowned in black georgette encrusted with rhinestones, the flared skirt being effectively draped to one side. Her black bankok hat was osprey trimmec*. and she carried a bouquet of pastel tinted flowers. Mrs. JVL A. Stewart wore black chiffon embroidered with steel beads, and close-fitting black hat. Among the guests were: Mrs. A. H. Tait (Brisbane), lotus blue beaded georgette, with black crinoline hat; Mrs. Tudor Baker (Napier), chenille embossed georgette frock of black and black hat; Mrs. T. Bayley, black crepe de chine ensemble and black hat; Miss Jefferies, primrose yellow frilled tulle frock: Miss Baker,-swiss chiffon frock, relieved with chartreuse green; Dr. and Mrs. Swanson, Mr. and Mrs. Ben Goldwater, Dr. and Mrs. H. Pettit, Dr. and Mrs. Milsom, Dr. and Mrs. Dryer, Mrs. J. Lavett, Mr. and Mrs. C. Grevatt, Mr. and Mrs. A. Hardley, •Mr. aud Mrs. J. Hardley, Mr. and Mrs. Russed, Mr. and Mrs. Skelton, Mr. and Mrs. F. Ballin, Mrs. Frost, Mr. and Mrs. Harold Baxter, Mr. and Mrs. Marsha m, Mrs. Pavne, Mr. and Mrs. Sellar, Dr. Murphy, Mr. and Mrs. O’Leary, Mr. and Mrs. R. T.

pate his action he thrust the girl forward, on the gun |rm of the Shadow Crook, and dived for the window. Almost as the man reached freedom Cranford ran forward, tackling low, and brought him to the ground. The tauted arm of the Shadow Crook fended Norma away, as she fell against him and she caught at the edge of a small table close by, bringing it to the ground. The master criminal sprang back to before the window, automatic raised threateningly. “Good work, Hughes.” The crook; spoke easily. He kicked the Jew to his feet. “Get over there, you cur. Stand

alongside- that police officer. Any more breaks from you and I’ll stop you, good and strong. Understand?” Mason had crossed to where the little table lay on Its side, disregarding the levelled gun. He picked it up and set it on its legs. Something on the polished surface attracted his attention and he bent to examine it. Unsatisfied, he took a magnifying glass from his pocket and focussed it on the marks. For some minutes he remained staring through the glass, then disregarding the crook, he turned to Norma. “Mrs. Etheringham, will you please come here.” Shaken and bewildered the girl j crossed to the detective’s side. He ! turned the table a quarter circle, j “Please place your finger-tips on this table and press hard. Wait.” He ] took a handkerchief from his pocket | and polished the surface. “Now, j please.” j Wonderingly Norma obeyed. Mason j focused the glass on her fingerprints, showing plainly in hair-like lines of | stearic acid. j “Wonderful!” he ejaculated. “Mrs. Etheringham, you must come down |to Headquarters and let Sergeant j Anderson see this.” j “See what?” Cranford had crossed j to Norma’s side and was bending over ! the table-top. “Mrs. Etlieringham’s finger-tip ini- ! pressions are identical with those of j her father, Stacey Carr,” Mason spoke i as if the master criminal was not in I the room, although Cranford noticed he i continually glanced back to where the ! Shadow Crook stood, watching. “Ah.

now I understand; the counter and the SU “What ot them?” The barrister asked, abruptly. “Mrs. Etheringham. ” Mason spoke only to the girl. “You searched Abel Mintos’s suitcase while he was ra prison?” , . . “Yes.” Norma spoke almost maudibly. “And, you were the boy Quito and I saw in the Carew Lane shop?” So engrossed'the detective that he did not notice the involuntary flinching of the girl. “Your fingers made the I impressions on the counter.” “The marks I effaced.” The Shadow , j Crook spoke with a slight laugh. “Ah. j I would you, inspector!” He sprang forward suddenly and ! struck the automatic from the detecS five’s hand. Cranford ducked and tried ; to close with the crook, but missed his S aim and fell sprawling on the floor, j “Quick action!” The master crook’s ; I laughter rang through the room. 1 I “Mason, you stand over there, beside i Mintos. X don’t mind you handcuffing 1 him, if you wish. No? Just as you I please. Keep your hands up. I don’t j want to shoot, but you’re tempting, j when you start playing jokes.” For a time there was dead silence jin the room. Norma had remained | by the table, Cranford at her side. Close jto her feet lay the detective’s ! automatic. j “Now for the jewels.” The Master I crook glanced round the little circle. \ “Abel Mintos, where are the jewels?” | “I don’t know.” | "Don’t know doesn't suit me.” The | Shadow Crook turned threateningly on

the man. “I shall count five, and unless you remember by the last count —Heaven help you!” The Shadow Crook paused, staring steadily at the Jew. Mintos drew himself up and glared at the masked man, defiance in his eyes. Besides the promoter Mason braced himself.

I Criminal though the Jew might be he | could not look on and see him tortured or killed. | “One r “ | “Two!" “Three!” “I haven't got them. They've been i stolen from me." Mintos suddenly j wilted. i | “So you’ve decided to talk.” The i Shadow Crook's half-hidden lips curved

in a contemptuous smile. “Well, where are they?” “I don’t know, I said. Stanley took them from where I hid them, upstairs.” “How’s that, Etheringham?” The gun pointed at the squatter. “It’s a lie.” Etheringham sprang to his feet, passion suffusing his florid face. “A damned dirty lie!” “Is it?” For the first time the Shadow Crook hesitated; he turned to the Jew again. “You’ve got to give me proof. None? No? Well—four!” “Damn you.” Mintos turned savagely on the squatter. “You’re mad on those sapphires! You’d see me murdered so that you can keep them! Curse you! Damn you! Give them up or I’ll wring their hiding place from you with my hands.”
