CHAPTER XxXiI.
The Empty Berth.


 The one thing Mallory was begin ming to learn about Marjorie was that she would never take the point of view he expected, and never proceed along the lines of his logic.
 She had grown furious at him for what he could not help She had told him that she would marry him out of spite. She had commanded him to pursue and apprehend the flying par son. He failed and returned crest fallen and wondering what new form her rage would take.
 And, 10 and behold, when she saw him so downcast and helpless, she rushed to him with caresses, cuddled his broad shoulders against her breast and smothered him It was the sincerity of his dejection and the complete helplessness he displayed that won her woman's heart.
 Mallory gazed at her with almost more wonderment than delight This was another flashlight on her charac- ter. Most courtships are conducted under a rose-light in which wooer and wooed wear their best clothes on their best behavior; or in a starlit, moonlit, or gaslit twilight where TO- nance softens angles and wraps everything in velvet shadow. Then the two get married and begin to live together in the cold, gray day

Whats the matter with the bridal couples on this traia, anyway" said Dr. Temple.
 T can't imagine" said his wife, we old couples are the only normal ones"
 Some more coffee, please, mother" he said.
 But your nerves," she protested.
 It's my vacation," he insisted.
 Mrs. Temple stared at him and shook her head: "I wonder what mis- chief you'll be up to today? You've already been smoking, gambling. drinking-have you been swearing, yet?"
 Not yet the old cregyman smiled, I've been saving that up for a good occasion. Perhaps it will rise before the days over"
 And his wife choked on her tea at the wonderful train-change that had come over the best man tn Ypsilanti.
 By this time Fosdick had reached the stateroom from which he had been banished again at the Nevada state-line. He knocked cautiously. From within came an anxious voice. Who's there?"
 Whom did you expect?'
 Mrs. Fosdick popped her head out like Jill in the box. "Oh, it's you.

This young couple was undergoing all the incOnveniences and temper-ex. posures of marriage without it's blessed compensations. They prom ised to be well acquainted before they were wed. If they still wanted each other after this ordeal, they were pret- ty well assured that their marriage would not be a failure.
 Mallory rejoiced to see that the hurricane of Marjorie's jealousy had only whipped up the surface of her soul The great depths were still calm and unmoved, and her love for himq was jp and of the depths.
 Soon after leaving Ogden, the train entefed upon the great bridge across the Great Salt Lake. The other pas sengers were staring at the enormous engineering masterpiece and the con- ductOr was pointing out that, in or der to save forty miles and the cross ing of two mountain chains, the rail- road had devoted four years of labor and millions of dollars to stretching a thirty-mile bridge across this inland ocean.
 But Marjorie and Mallory never no- ticed it. They were absorbed in ex- ploring each others souls, and they had safely bridged the Great Salt Lake which the first big bitter jeal- ousy spreads across every matrimo- nial route.
 They were undissturoed In their voy. hge for all the other passengers had their noses tiattened against the win. dow panes of the other cars-all ex. cept one couple, gazing each at each through time-wrinkled eyelids touched with the magic of tardy honeymoon.
 For all that Anne and Ira knew, the Great Salt Lake was moon- swept lagoon. and the arid mountains of Nevada which the train went scal- ing, were the very hillsides of Ar e Cia --,t-...
 But the other passengers soon came dropping back into the observation room. Ira had told them nothing of Mallory's confession. In the first pldCe, ue was Udu WHO 0du learned to keep a secret, and in the second place. he had forgotten that such per sons as Mallory or his Marjorie exist ed. All the world was summed up in the fearsomely happy little spinster who had moved up into his section the section which had begun its ca Ieer draped in satin ribbons unwit- tingly prophetic.
 The communion of Mallory and Marjorie under the benison of recon ciliatiou was invaded by the jokes of the other passengers. unconsciously ironic.
 Dr, Temple chaffed them amiably: You two will have to take a back seat now. We've got a new bridal couple to amuse us"
 And Mrs. Temple welcomed them with: You're only old married folks, like us."
 The Mallorys were used to the mis- understanding, But the misplaced witticisms gave them reinsurance that their secret was safe yet little while At their dinner-table, however, and in the long evening that followed they were haunted by the fact that this was their last night on the train, and no minister to be expected
The Prescott daily news., 1912-05-01

And now once more the Mallorys regained the star roles in the esteem of the audience, for once more they quarreled at good-night-kissing time. Once. more they required two sec tions, while Anne Gattle's berth was not even made up. It remained empty, like a deserted nest, for its occupant had flown south.

CHAPTER Xxxlll.
Fresh Trouble Daily.

s.~ Fresh Trouble Daily.
 The following morning the daylight creeping into section number one found Ira and Anne staring at each other. Ira was tousled and Anne was unkempt, but her blus1 still gave her cheek at least an Indian summer glow. 7 t.,.r~-
 After a violent effort to reach the space between her shoulder blades, she was compelled to appeal to her new master to act as her new maid.
 "Oh, MT. Lathrop," she stammered Ira" she corrected, wont you please hook me up?" she pleaded
 Ira beamed with a second child hood boyishness: I'll do my best, my little ootsum-tootsums, it's the first time I ever tried it."
 "Oh, I'm so glad" Anne sighed, its the first time l ever was hooked up by gentleman"
 He gurgled with joy and, forget ting the poverty of space, tried to reach her lips to kiss her, He almost broke her neck and bumped bis head so hard that instead of saying as he intended, My darling" he said, "Oh, hell!" .-.J ,.4s ..---
 "Ira!' she gasped But he, with all the proprietorship he had assumed, answered cheerily: You'll have to get used to it, ducky darling. I could never learn not to swear" He proved the fact again and again by the re- marks he addressed to certain retrac- tory hooks He apologized, but she felt more like apologizing for her self
 "Oh. Ira" she said, I'm so ashamed to have you see me Ike this--the first morning" :sl l.,a- U. 2I.-. 'aal 'a
 Well, you haven't got anything on me-I'm not shaved"
 You don't have to tell me that" she said, rubbing her smarting cheek. Then she bumped her head and gasped: "Oh-what you said"
 This made them feel so much at home that she attained the heights of frankness and honesty by reaching in her handbag for knob of supple mentary hair, which she affixed dex- trously to what was homegrown. Ira, instead of looking shocked, loved her for her honesty, and grinned:
 Now, that's where you have got something on me. Say, we're like couple of sardines trying to make love in 3 tin can

If she had thought of it she would have said, God bless the man that invented doors-and the other angel that invented locks"

Chief Gormon, Patrolman LAWYER and
two reporters witnessed the unearth-

cellar is only Ave feet deep. 1t does
not extend the entire length Of the
house, but merely covers a space in
the rear, ten by twenty-five feet. The
trap door above the cellar was covered
with linoleum, as is the rest of the
kitchen, though it was cut so that en-

Find the Body.
Coroner Pierce used a shovel to get
to the body. The earth was slowly
pulled away and the leg bone of the
missing man was found first. Gradu-
ally other parts of the body were dis
covered. The body had been so com
pletely covered with quick lime and
