 About this time, Marjorie, tired of her pretence at slumber, strolled into the observation car, glancing into the mems room. where she saw nothing but newspapers. Then Mrs. Yelling ton saw her, and smiled: Come in and make yourself at home"
 Thanks" said Marjorie, bashfully, T was looking for my-my-"
 "Husband?"
 My dog"
 How Is he this morning?"
 My dog?"
 Your husband"
 "Oh, he's as we'll as could be ex- pected."
 Where did you get that love of waist?" Mrs. Wellington laughed.
 Mrs Temple lent it to me. Isn't 1t sweet?"
 "Exquisite! The latest Ypsilahti mode"
 Marjorie, suffering almost more acutely from being badly frocked than from being duped in her matrimonial hopes,' threw herself on Mrs. Yelling tons mercy
 I'm so unhappy in this. Couldn't you lend me or sell me something 8 little smarter?"
 ''I'd love to, my dear," said Mrs. Wellington, but left home on short notice myself. 1 shall need all my divorce rousseau in Reno. Otherwise -I-but here's your husband. You two ought to have some place to spoon. I'll leave you this whole room"
 And she swept out, holding to Nal lory, who had divined Marjories presence, and felt the need of being near her, though he also felt the need of finishing the story of the great ball game. Husbandlike, he felt that he was conferring sufficient courtesy in throwing casual smile across the top of the paper
 Marjorie studied his motley garb, and her own, and groaned:
 We're a sweet looking pair, aren't we?"
 MT. and Miss Fit" said Mallory, from behind the paper.
 "Oh, Harry, has your love grown cold?" she pleaded.
 Marjorie, how can you think such thing?" still from behind the paper.
 Well, Mrs. Wellington said we ought to have some place to spoon, and she went away and left us, and there you stand-and-"
 This pierced even the baseball news, and he threw his arms around her with glow of devotion.
 She snuggled closer, and cooed: Aren't we having nice long engage ment? We've travelled a million miles. and the preacher isn't in sight
