This pierced even the baseball
news, and he threw his arms around
her with glow of devotion.
She snuggled closer, and cooed:

miles, and the preacher isn't in sight
yet. What have you been reading

lily.
Mattel" he raved, "and in perfect

And now the hidden serpent of jeal-
ousy, which promised to enliven their
future, lifted its head for the first
time, and Mallory caught his first
glimpse of an unsuspected member
of their household. Marjorie demand.
ed with an ominous chill:
And who's Mattie7. Some former
sweetheart of yours?"
MY DEAR" laughed Mallory.
But Marjorie was up and away,
with apt temper: 80 Matte was in
the box, was she? What is 1t to you,
where she sits? You dare to read
about her and rave over her perfect
form, while you neglect your wife-or
your-oh, what am l, anyway"
Mallory stared at her in amaze
ment. He was beginning to learn
what ignorant heather women are
concerning so many OF the gods and
demi-gnds of mankind. Then. with
tenderness he might not always show,
he threw the paper down and took
her in his arms: You poor child.
Matte is mana pitcher-and you're
the only woman | ever loved-and
you are liable to be my wife any
minute"
The explanation was sufficient, and
she crawled into the shelter of his
arm with little noises that served for
apology. forgiveness and reconcilia-
tion. Then he made the mistake OF
mentioning the sickening topic of de-
ferred hope:
"A minister's sure to get on at the
next stop-or the next"
Marjorie's nerves were frayed by
too much enduring, and 1t took only a
word to set them jangling: If you
say minister to me again, I'll scream"
Then she tried to control herself with
a polite: Where is the next stop?

where's that? On the map?"

The conductor looked at her in sur
prise: why, what's it to you?" She
turned her eyes on him at full candle
power, and smiled:
oh l just wanted TO do a little
shopping there"
Shopping! While the train waits!
Excuse mel"
You see," Marjorie fiuttered, "by a
sad mistake, my baggage isn't on the

But to oblige me? To save me

twisted one of the brass buttons on
his coat sleeve, and wheedled: Don't
you think you might hold the train
just little tiny half hour?"
He was sorry, but he didn't see how
he could. Then she took his breath
away again, by asking, out of clear
sky: Are you married?"
He was as awkward as II she had
proposed to him, she answered for
him: ".Oh. but Of course You. are. The

women Wouldn't let big, handsome,
noble brave giant like you escape
long" He mopped his brow in agony
as she went on: I'm sure you're a
very chivalrous man. I'm sure you
would give your life to rescue a
maiden in distress. Well, here's your
chance. Won't you please hold the
train?"
She actually had her cheek almost
against his shoulder, though she had
to poise atiE1oe to reach him. NAL
Iory's dismay was changing to boil
ing rage, and the conductor was a
pitiable combination of Saint Anthony
and Tantalus. I'D love to oblige
you" he mumbled, "but it would be as
much as my jobs worth
How much is that?" Marjorie
asked, and added reassuringly, IN

would get you better one"
Maybe" said the conductor, "but-
got this one"
Then his rolling eyes caught sight
Of the supposed husband gesticulating
wildly and evidently clearing for ac-
ton. He warned Marjorie: Say, your
husband is motioning at you"
Don't mind him." Marjorie urged,
Just listen to me. implore you.

ing, she played her last card, and.
crying, "Oh, you can't resist my pray
ers so cruelty" she threw her arms
around his neck, sobbing, DO you

Mallory rushed into the scene and
the conductor, tearing Marjorie's arms
loose, retreated, gasping, mo! and l

Mallory dragged Marjorie away, but
she shook her little fist at the COLI
ductor, crying: "Do you refuse? DO
you dare refuse?"

ly insisted.
Marjorie blazed with fury and the
siren became Scylla. Then I'll see
that my father gets you discharged.
If you dare to speak to me again, I'll
order my husband to throw you on

ductor, of stupid old emigran<

Then she hurled herself into chair
and pounded her heels on the floor
in tantrum that paralyzed Mallory.

shoulder and said: you have my SYM

CHAPTER XIV.
Tho Train Wrecker.


The train-butcher, entering the OBJ
servation Room, found only loving
couple. He took in at glance their
desire for solitude. A large part OF
his business was the forcing of wares
on people who did not want them.
His voice and his method suggested
the mosquito. Seeing Mallory and
Marjorie mutually absorbed in read
ing each others eyes, and evidently
in need of nothing on earth less than
something else to read, the train
butcher decided that his best plan Of
attack was to make himself nuis-
ance. 1t is a plan successfully adopt
ed by organ-grinders, street pianists
and other blackmailers under the
guise of art, who have nothing 80
welcome to sell as their absence.
Mallory and Marjorie heard the
train boys hum. but they tried to ig.
more 1t.
Papers, gents and ladies'? Yes?
No? Paris fashions, lady?"
He showed large periodical be-
tween their very noses, but Marjorie
threw 1t on the floor, with a bitter
glance at her own borrowed plumage:
Don't show me any Paris fash
ions!" Then she gave the boy his
congo by resuming her chat with NAL
lory: How long do we stop at Og.
den?"
The train-boy went right on auc.
tioning his papers and magazines.
and poking them into the laps of his
prey. And they went right on talking
to one another and pushing his papers
and magazines to the floor

den. and take the next train back.
That's just what I'll do. Nothing,

CHAPTER XVI.
DeIiIah and tho Conductor.

Like the best of women and the
worst of men, Marjorie was perfectly
willing to do evil, that good might
come of it. She advanced on the in
nocent conductor as the lady from
Sorek must have sidled up to Sam
son, coquetting with one arch hand
and shipping the shears with the
other.
The stupetied Mallory saw Mar
jorie in startling imitation OF her.
self at her sweetest; only now 1t was
brazen mimicry, yet how like! She
went forward as the shyest young
thing in the world, pursed her lips in
to an ecstatic simper and began on
the unsuspecting official:
Isn't the country perfectly"
"Yes, but I'm getting used to It,"
the conductor growled, without look
ing up.
His curt indifference jolted Mar
jorie trite, hut she rallied her forces,
and came back with: How long DO
we stop at Ogden?"
Five minutes" very bluntly.
Marjorie poured maple syrup on her
tone, as she purred: This train OF
yours is an awfully fast train, isn't
it,"
sort off, said the conductor, with
lust trace OF thaw. What followed
made him hold his breath, for the
outrageous little hussy was actually
saying: THE company must have a
great deal of confidence in you to en-.
trust the lives and welfare OF SO many
people to your presence OF mind and
courage"
well, of course, l can't say as to
that" Even Mallory could see that
the mans reserve was melting fast as
Marjorie went on with relentless
treacle:
Talk about soldiers and tiremen
and life-savers! | think it takes a
braver man than any OF those to be
a conductor really"
We'll, it is a kind OF a responsible
job" The conductor sweled his chest
a little at that, and Marjorie felt that
he was already hers. She hammered
the weak spot in his armor:
Irresponsible! | should say 1t Is.
Mr.. Mallory is a soldier, but soldiers
are such ferocious. destructive peo-
Pile, while conductors save lives, and
If l were only a man l think it
would be my greatest ambition to be
a conductor-especially on an over
land express"
The conductor told the truth when
he confessed: We'll, | never heard
II put just that way" Then he spoke
with little more pride, hoping to in
crease the impression he felt he was
making: The main thing, of course,
Is to get my train through On Time!"
This was faCer. He was going to
get his train through On Time Just
to oblige Marjorie. She stammered:
Il don't suppose the train, by any
accident, would be delayed in leaving
Ogden?"
Not If can help it," the hero

folded arms

She silenced him with snap:

He stormed into the smoking room

To Help an Old Soldier.

Pineville, KY, Oct 18, 1912.
To the County Court Clerk,
Union, S. C.
Dear Friend: l will this afternoon
write in regard to two affidavits sent
you some time ago, about the service
of one James w. Wicks, of your place
who enlisted in the Confederate army
about the 1st of May, 1861, under
Capt. Sims, his colonel was Joe Guess,
and w. M. Steadman was his 1st
sergeant. At the last Legislature of
this state there was passed law al
lowing old Confederates $1,000 per
month, but they must make some
proof to the effect that they served
whereabouts. Now if you will assist
me in the case of Mr.. Wicks by fur
nishing me with the proofs 1 will
send you here some affidavits and YOU
have some of his comrades to swear
to them and fill them out and return
with your charges and l will see that
you are paid for same. 1t has to be
done before an officer that uses a seal,
as you will see. / take it that there
are lots of his comrades there and
who would be more than glad to help
him in getting a pension.
Awaiting your most appreciated an
swer, l remain, yours very kindly,
G. T. Simpson, Atty.
T. S.-Please have these filled out
by some Confederate soldiers and re-
turn same to me at once.
