CHAPTER Xxx.
A Wedding on Wheels.


The commotion of the matrimony-
mad women brought the men troop
ing in from the smoking room and
there was much circumstance of dec
Grating the scene with white satin
ribbons, triile crumpled and dim OF
luster. Mrs. Whitcomb waved them
at Mallory with a laugh:
Recognize these?"
He nodded dismally His own fu-
neral baked meats were coldly fur
nishing forth wedding breakfast for
Ira Lathrop. Mrs. Wellington was
moving about distributing kazoos and
Mrs. Temple had an armload OF old
shoes, some of which had thumped
Mallory on an occasion which
seemed so ancient as to be almost
prehistoric.
Fosdick was bowling to the porter
to get some rice, quick!
How many portions does you ap-
proximate?"
An you've got"
Boiled or fried"
Any old way" The porter ran
forward to the dining-car tor the am
munition.
Mrs Temple whispered to her hus-
band: TOO bad you're not officiating,
Walter" But he cautioned silence:
Hush! I'm on my vacation"
The train was already coming into
Ogden. Noises were multiplying and
from the increase OF passing objects,
the speed seem(d to be taking on a
squirt. The bell was clamoring like
a wedding chime in a steeple,
Mrs. Wellington was on chair fast
ening a ribbon round one OF the
lamps, and Mrs. Whitcomb was on an.
other chair braiding the bell rope with
withered orange branches. when Ash.
ton, with kazoo all ready, called out:
What tune shall we play"

Wellington glared across at her.

pie, to make peace.
Mrs. Fosdick murmured to her
spouse: The old Justice OF the Peace
didn't give us any music at all" and
received in reward one OF his most
msciouseyed looks, and a whisper:

Now and then" she pouted

The train jolted to a dead stop. The

Marjorie answered with worldolt
wisdom: "A woman can forgive 4
man anything except what he did be-
fore he met her"
He stared at her with masculine dis
may at feminine logic: If you can
forgive me, then why do you marry
me?"
For reyenge!" she cried. You

used to spoon with. And | don't like

"Oh. you admit it,"
No"
We'll, I'm going to marry you

Divorce me! Good Lord, On what
grounds?"
"On the grounds OF Miss Kitty

Mallory was groggy with punish
ment, and the vain effort to foresee
her next blow. But you cant name

just being nice to me before | ever

That's the worst kind of unfaith-

"Oh, no, 1t isn't, and If 1t is, how do

Mallory urged, 81 want you"
You'll get me-but not for long.

Mallory surrendered completely.

you'll really marry me-"
"Oh, I'll marry you. sir. but not

And while he stared In helpless awe
at the cynic and termagant that
jealousy had metamorphosed this tim
id. clinging creature into, they heard
the conductors voice at the rear door
of the car: Hurry up-we've got to
start"
They heard Lathrop's protest:
Hold on there, conductor" and Sell
by's plea: oh say, my good man.
wait moment cant you?"
The conductor answered with the
gruffness OF a despot: Not minute.
I've my orders to make up lost time.
All aboard"
While the minister was tying the
last loose ends of the matrimonial
knot, Mallory and Marjorie were
struggling through the crowd to g%
at him. Just as they were near, they
were swept aside by the rush of the
bride and groom for the parsons Il

Once more Ira and Anne were show
cred with rice. This time it was their
own. Ira darted out into the corridor,
haling his brand-new wife by the
wrist, and the wedding guests pur-
sued them across the vestibule,
through the next car, and on, and on.
Nobody remained to notice what
happened to the parsOn. Having per-
formed his function. he was without
further interest or use. But to Nal
lory and Marjorie he was vitality
necessary.

use had he now for ministers! His
plans were shattered ruins.
The porter came flying in with two
large bowls OF rice, and shouting,
Here comes the 'possum-er-pos
SON" Seeing Marjorie, he said:
Shall | perambulate Mista Snoozle-
ums?"'
She handed the porter her only
friend and he hurried out, as lean
and professionally sad ascetic hur-
ried in. He did not recognize his
boyish enemy in the gray-haired. red
faced giant that greeted him. but he
knew that voice and its gloating
irony:
Hello, Charlie"
He had always found that when Ira
grinned and was cordial, some trouble
was in store for him. He wondered
what rock Ira held behind his back
now, but he forced an uneasy cor.
diality: And is this you, Ira? Well,
well! 1t is yeahs since last We met.
And you're just getting married. Is
this the first time, Ira?"
First offense, Charlie"
The levity shocked Selby. but
greater shock was in store. for when
he inquired: And who IS the-er-
happy-bride?" the triumphant Lath-
rop snickered: ''I believe you used to
know her. Anne Cattle"
This was the rock behind Ira's back.
and Selby took it with vince: Not
my old"
The same. Anne, you remember.
Charlie"
"Oh, yes," said Anne, How do you
do. Charlie?" And she put out shy
hand. which he took with one still
shyer. He was so unsettled that he
stammered: We'll. well, | had always
hoped to marry you, Anne. but not
just this way"
Lathrop cut him short with sharp:
Better get busy-before the train
starts. And I'll pay you in advance
before you set off the fireworks"
The fiippancy panied Rev. Charles,
but he was resuscitated by one
glance at the bill that Ira thrust into
his palm. If mans gratitude for
his wife is measured by the size OF
the fee he hands the enabling par
son, Ira was madly in love with Anne.
Rev. Charles had reminiscent sus-
picion that it was probably a counter
felt, but for once he did Ira an in
justice.
The minister was in such a tiutter
from losing his boyhood love, and
gaining so much money all at once
and from performing the marriage on
train, that he made numerous err
rors In the ceremony, but nobody no.
ticed them, and the spirit, II not the
letter of the occasion, was there and
the contract was doubtless legal
enough.
The ritual began with the pleasant
murmur of the preachers voice, and
the passengers crowded round in a
solemn calm, which was suddenly vio
lated by loud yelp of laughter from
Wedgewood, who omitted guffaw after
guffaw and bent double and opened
out again, like an agitated umbrella
The wedding-guests turned on him
visages of horror, and Kissed silence
at him. Ashton seized him, shook
him, and muttered:
What the-what's the matter with
you?"
The Englishman shook like a boy
having a spasm of giggles at a fu-
neral, and blurted out the eXplana-
ton
rhat ,hN h, ,.fI
| just saw the point"
Ashton closed his jaw by brute
force and watched over him through
the rest of the festivity.
