blowing across 1t raises cloud Of
dust.

Nebraska, and the train came to .

Mallory would commit himself. and he
was turning away. He had about come
to the belief that anything that looked
like parson was something else. But
Marjorie wh!rled him round again,
with shrill whisper to listen. And
he overheard In tones addicted to the
pulpit:
