CHAPTER XxxlV.
The Complete Dlvorcer.


The other passengers were growing
nervous with their own troubles. The
next stop was Reno. and in spite OF
all the wit that Is heaped upon the
town, it is solemn place to those
who must go there in purgatorial pen
ance for matrimonial error.
Some honest souls regard such di.
vorce-emporiums as dens OF evil,
where the wicked make a mockery OF
the sacrament and assail the founda-
tIons of society, by undermining the
home. Other equally honest souls,
believing that marriage is human
institution whose mishaps and mis-
takes should be rectitied as far as
possible, regard the divorce courts as
cities of refuge for ill-treated or Ill
mated women and men whose lives
may be saved from utter ruination by
the intervention OF hlgh-minded
judges.
But, whichever view is right, the
ordeal by divorce is terrifying enough
to the poor sinners or martyrs who
must undergo It.
Little Jimmie Wellington turned
pale. and stammered. as he tried to
ask the conductor casually:
What kind OF place is that
Reno?"
The conductor. somewhat cynical
from close association with the di.

Mallory put out his hand: Would
you be kind enough to lend me your
razor again this morning."
Sure thing" said Ashton. You'll
find your blade in the box there"
Mallory then negotiated the loan OF
one more fresh shirt from the Eng
lishman, and clean collar from Ash
ton. He rejoiced that the end Of the
day would bring him in touch with
his own baggage. Four days of forag-
ing on the country was enough for
this soldier.
Also he felt, now that he and Mar
jorie had lived thus long, they could
survive somehow till evening brought
them to San Francisco, where there
were hundreds Of ministers. And then
the conductor must ruin his early
morning optimism, though he made
his appearance in the washroom with
genial good mornings for all.
Mallory acknowledged the greeting.
and asked offhandedly: by the way.

The conductor answered even more
offhandedly: About two hours late
and losin'."
Mallory was transiixed with a new
fear: Good Lord, my transport sails

"Oh, we ought to make Frisco by
midnight. anyway"
Midnight. and sail at daylight"
Unless we lose a little more time.
Mallory realized that every new day
managed to create its own anxieties.

J IVY '''N'
Il should like to come back to
the earth one hundred years from
now to see what changes science,
art, and politics would bring in
the interval" " said Benjamin
Franklin shortly before his death
in 1890. 1t was a characteristic
remark. 1t was in line with the
aspiration of thoughtful persons
in all ages of the world. But
what would the American who
died on July 4th, 1776 think if he
should be permitted to take a
glance at his country today? The
thirteen struggling British col
onies of his time-for the Decla-
ration of independence was mere
ly a desire which was not trans
muted into fact until after sew
eral years of hard fghting-have
grown into a nation Of forty eight
states. The 5000, 600 Americans
Of that day have expanded to
100, 600, 900. That thin fringe of
settlers along the Atlantic sea-
board from New Hampshire to
Georgia 1873 years ago, has spread
across a continent and has adj
vanced to the Gulf of Mexico.
The country now fronts on three
oceans instead of one as in those
days, and it has dependencies in
two of them. Over Porto Rico in
the American Mediterranean"
the stars and stripes fly, as they
do over the Philippines, Guam,
Tutuila, and Alaska's thousand
islands in the Pacific. The re-
public of Cuba and the republic
of Panama are under our guard
dianship. Across the Isthmus of |
Panama, which was surveyed for
a canal in Charles VS. days, the |
United States is building, at an
outlay of several hundreds of !
millions Of dollars, a waterway
for the use of every country in
the world on the same terms as
for ourselves.
Within the memory of thou
sands of persons who are still ac-
lively at work, the United States
had a low rank among the ma
tions in the volume and the va
riety of its activities, and in its
wealth. Today the United States
with an aggregate valuation of
$l20, 600, 000,0 for its real es-
tate and personal prop erty,
equals in wealth the United King
dom and the French combined,
which are our nearest rivals in
that field. While we only have
five per cent. of the worlds pop
ulation, we produce twenty per
cent, of the worlds wheat, twen-
ty-two per cent. of the worlds
gold, thirty-fve per cent. of its
coal, thirty-five per cent. of its
manufactures, thirty-eight per
cent. of its silver, forty per cent
of its pig iron, forty-two per cent
Of its steel, fifty-five per cent. of
its petroleum, fifty-eight per cent
Of its copper, seventy per cent.
Of its cotton, and eighty per cent
Of its corn.
