They gossiped across the chasm or
of years about people and things, and
knew nothing of the excitement so
close to them, saw nothing of Chicago
slipping back into the distance, with
its many lights shooting across the
windows like hurled torches.
Suddenly a twinge of ancient jeal-
ousy shot through the mans heart,
recurring to old emotions.

"Charlie Selby?" She blushed at the
name, and thrilled at the luxury OF
meeting jealousy. "Oh, he entered
the church. He's a minister out in
Ogden, Utah."
F"I always knew he'd never amount
to much" was Lathrops epitaph on
his old rival. Then he started with
a new twinge: "You bound for Ogden,
too?"
"Oh, no." she smiled, enraptured
at the new sensation of making man
anxious, and understanding all in a
flash the motives that make coquettes

her of his presence. I'm here,

once-at him, the source of all her
troubles--buried her head in her
arms, and resumed her grief. Mallory
stared at her helplessly, then rose
and bent over to whisper:
I'm going to look through the
train"
"Oh, don't leave me-" she pleaded,
clinging to him with a dependence
that restored his respect.

pered. 'Tll be back the minute l find

The porter thought he wanted the
dog back, and quickened his pace till
he reached the corridor, where NAL

, effort at casual Indifference, il he had
seen anything of clergyman on
board.
"Ain't seen nothin' that even looks
like one" said the porter. Then he
fastened ahead to the baggage car
with the squirming Snoozleums, while
Mallory followed slowly, going from
seat to seat and car to car, subjecting
all the males to an inspection that
rendered some of them indignant
others of them uneasy.
If dear old Doctor Temple could

FASHION NOTES IN
THE BAC0NlAN
BY Miss Mary Kennedy.

White, cream and fancy Serges have
lost none of their popularity in the
wooden dress line. in fact they are
growing more popular and promise to
continue so.
Whipcords in white and colors are
extremely good for tailored suits.
The vogue OF Taffeta silk continues.
Crepe de Chimes are, however, much
spoken Of as a later novelty.
Embroidered effects on fine cotton
goods in variety are IN good form.
Messaline silk in wide variety of
qualities comprise large part OF the
silk demand and indications are they
will continue in strong favor.
The style position of laces continues
strong in all parts of the country.
Interest in Shadow Laces, especially
in nottingham varieties. is increasing
as summer approaches.
Imitation Irish ball trimmings con-
tinue in good demand, being used to
edge tunics, parasols, etc.
The enormous vogue for white veil
ings has been well sustained.

all to the dreary-looking woman at
his side. Then the stranger spoke.
And this is what he said and read:

it is certain, from the writings as
cribed to him, that he disbelieved the
Egyptian theory of life after death,

ture existence was undoubtedly ac-
quired from the Assyrians, during the
captivity"

Mallory could hardly get strength
to rise and continue his search. On
his way forward he met the conductor,
crossing a vestibule between cars.
happy thought occurred to Mallory.
He said:
Excuse me. but have you any
preachers on board?
None so far"

"How can you tell?"
"Well, II a grown man offers me

Mallory guessed that 1t was, and
turned back. hopeless and helpless.
