the man who had taken his wallet
and his wife's keepsakes.

desperate romance with their earliest

followed by Mallory, followed by the

He told himself that, while it might
be fine impulse to leap to her de-
tense, 1t was a fool impulse to leap
off precipice and leave Marjorie
alone among strangers, with dead
man and scandal, as the only re-
wards for his impulse. He vowed that
he would hold himself in check, and
ing him only the name OF coward,
provided they left him also the power
to defend Marjorie better at another
time.
And now that he saw the clumsy
handed thugs rifiing his sweetheart's
jewelry, he felt all that he had fore
seen, and his head fought almost in
vain against the white fire Of his
heart. Between them he trembled
like a leaf, and the sweat globed on
his forehead.
The worst of IL was the shivering
terror of Marjorie, and the pitiful eyes
she turned on him. But he clenched
his teeth and waited, thinking fierce
ly, watching, like lowering eagle, a
chance to swoop.
But the robbers kept glancing this
way and that, and one motion would
mean death. They themselves We're

with poor imitation of careless

And now the man called Bill had
reached Marjorie's right hand. He

But Jake, who had chosen Mar
jorie's left hand, roared:
Say, you cheated. All / get is this
measly plain gold band"
"Oh, don't take that" Marjorie
gasped, clenching her hand.
Mallory's heart ached at the thought
of this final sacrilege. He had the
license, and the minister at last-and
now the fiends were going to carry on
the wedding ring. He controlled him.

stopped to plead: Say, old man, don't

"Shut up, both of you," Jake
growled, and jabbed him again with

He gave the ring a jerk, but Mar
jorie, in the very face of the weapon,
would not let go. She struggled and
tugged, weeping and imploring: "Oh,
don't, don't take that! It's my wed

"Agh, what do I care!" the ruffan
snarled, and wrenched her finger so
viciously that she gave little cry OF
pain.
That broke Mallory's heart. With

Wolves In the Fold.

Mallory's heart sank to its usual
depth, but Marjorie had another of
her inspirations. She startled every
body by suddenly reckoning and call
ing: Excuse me, Mr.. Robber. Come
here, please"
The curious gallant edged her way,
keeping sharp watch along the line:
what d'you want?'
Marjorie leaned nearer, and spoke
IN low tone with an amiable smile:
THAT lady who wanted to kiss you
has bracelet up her sleeve"
The robber stared across his mask,
and wondered, but laughed, and
grunted: Much obliged" Then he
went back, and tapped Kathleen on
the shoulder. When she turned round,
An the hope that he had geconsidered
his refusal to make the trade, he in
furiated her by growing: Excuse

He ran his hand along her arm, and
found her bracelet, and accomplished
what Mallory had failed in, its re.

CHAPTER XII.
A Hero In Spite Of Himself.

A Hero In Spite of Himself.
Passion sent Mallory into the up-
equal fight with two armed and des-
perate outlaws. But reason had
planned the way. He had been study
ing the robber all the time, as If the
villain were a war-map, studying his
gestures, his way Of turning, and how
he held the revolver. He had noted
that the man, as he frisked the pas
sengers, did not keep his finger on
the trigger, but on the guard.
Marjorie's little battle threw the
desperate of his balance trifie; as
he recovered, Mallory struck him, and
swept him on over against the back
OF seat. At the same instant, Nal
lory's right hand went like lighting
to the trigger guard, and gripped the
fingers in wise of steel, while he
drove the mans elbow back against
his side. Mallory's left hand mean
while flung around his enemy's neck,
and gave him spinning fall that sent
his left hand out for balance 1t fell
across the back of the seat, and NAL
lory pinioned it with elbow and knee
before it could escape.
All in the same crowded moment,
his left knuckles jolted the mans chin
in the air, and SO bewildered him
that his muscles relaxed enough for
Mallory's right fingers to squirm their
way to the trigger, and aim the gun
at the other robber, and finally to get
entire control OF II.
The thing had happened in such a
fash that the second outlaw could
hardly believe his eyes. The shrek
Of the astounded passengers, and the
grunt of Mallory's prisoner, as he
crashed backward, woke him to the
need for action. He caught his other
gun from its holster. and made for a
double volley, but there was nothing
to aim at. Mallory was crouched in
the seat, and almost perfectly GOV.

Still, from force of habit and fool
hardy pluck, Bill aimed at MaIlory's
right eyebrow, just abaft Jake's right
ear, and shouted his old motto:
Hands up! you'll"
Hands up yourself!" answered
Mallory, and his victim, shuddering at
the fierce look in his comrades eyes,
gasped: "For Gods sake, don't shoot,
Bill"
Even then the fellow stood his
ground, and debated the issue, till
Mallory threw such ringing determine
ton into one last: Hands up, or by
God, I'll fire!" that he caved in, lifted
his fingers from the triggers, turned
the guns up, and slowly raised both
hands above his head.
A profound "Ah!" of relief soughed
through the car. and Mallory, still
keeping his eye on Bill, got down eau
tiously from the seat. The moment
he released Jake's left hand, 1t darted
to the holster where his second gun
was waiting. But before he could
clutch the butt of it, Mallory jabbed
the muzzle of his own revolver in the
mans back, and growled: Put 'em
up!" And the robbers left hand

bad as the customs officers at New
York"
And now another touch OF light re-
neved the gloom. Kathleen was next
an line, and she had been forcing her
lips into their most attractive smile,
and keeping her eyes winsomely mel
low, for the robbers benefit. Marjorie
could not see the smile; she could
only see that Kathleen was next. She
whispered to Mallory:
They'll get the bracelet! They'll
get the bracelet"
And Mallory could have danced with
glee. But Kathleen leaned coquet-
tishly toward the masked stranger,
and threw all her art into her tone
as she murmured:
'I'm sure you're too brave to take
my things. I've always admired men
with the courage of Claude Duval."
The robber was taken a trifie aback
but he growled: II don't know the par

Listen to her." Marjorie whispered

for his own deception, by putting an
end to their misery.

and as final proof of affection, he
unbuttoned his collar and put it on
backwards. Mrs. Temple brought out
the discarded bib, and he donned 1t
meekly. The transformation ex.

had enmeshed himself In.
Even at he made ready for the
ceremony, the conductor appeared,
looked him over, grinned, and reached
for the bellcord, with cheerful: "AlI

Mallory had sort OF superstitious
dread, not entirely unfounded on ex

new obstacle to his marriage. He

answered, and he pulled the bell-rope

Mallory's temper fiared again. He
cried: This train doesn't go another

up and pulled the bell-rope once; in

"Oh, no, you won't" said Mallory,
as he whisked a revolver from his

conductors watch-pocket. The con.

Then Mallory, standing with his
right hand on military duty, put out
his left hand, and gave the word:
"Now, parson."

Marjorie shifted Snoozleums to her

ritual.

his work, the young husband-at-last
graciously rescinded military law, re-
called the artillery from the conduc

The conductors rage had cooled,
and he slapped the bridegroom on the
back with one hand, as he pulled the
cord with the other. The train began
to creak and tug and shift. The ding
dong of the bell floated murmurous-
ly back as from lofty steeple, and
the clickety-click, acknowledgements
quickened and softened into pleas
ant gossip, as the speed grew, and the
way was so smooth for the wheels
that they seemed to be spinning on
