CHAPTER XXI.
Eoiled Yet AGAIN.


Mallory had fled from the scene at
the first hum OF the minister's words.
His fate was like alkali on his palate
For twelve hundred miles he had ran
sacked the world for a minister. When
one dropped on the train like mama
through the roof, even this miracle
had to be checkmated by a perverse
miracle that sent to the train an early
infatuation, a silly affair that he him
self called puppy-love. And now Mar.
jorie would never marry him. lie did
not blame her. He blamed fate.
He was in solitude in the smoking
room. The place reeked with drifting
tobacco smoke and the malodor OF
cigar stubs and cigarette ends. His
plans were as useless and odious as
cigarette ends. He dropped into a
chair, his elbows on his knees and
his head in his hands-Napoleon on
st. Helena.
And then, suddenly he heard Mar
jorie's voice. He turned and saw her
hesitating in the doorway. lie rose
TO welcome her, but the smile died
on his lips at her chilly speech:

"Of course. The airs rather thick

said, with a squared jaw
But, really. you ought TO marry
me-not merely because ! love you
and you're the only girl ever" He
stopped short and she almost smiled
as she tainted him: Go OIL dare
you to say it,"
lie swallowed hard and waived the
point: We'll, anyway, you ought TO
marry me-for your own sake"
Then she took his breath away by
answering: "Oh, I'm going TO marry
you. never fear"
You are" he cried, with a rush or
returning hope. oh. | knew you
loved me-"
She pushed his encircling arms
aside: Il don't love you, and that's
why I'm going to marry you"

CHAPTER Xxx.
A Wedding on Wheels.

The commotion OF the matrimony-
mad women brought the men troop
ing in from the smoking room and
there was much circumstance of dec
Grating the scene with white satin
ribbons, a trifie crumpled and dim OF
luster. Mrs. Whitcomb waved them
at Mallory with laugh:
Recognize these?"
He nodded dismally. His own fu-
neral baked meats were coldly fur
nishing forth a wedding breakfast for
Ira Lathrop. Mrs. Wellington was
moving about distributing kazoos and
shoes. some of which had thumped
Mallory on an occasion which
seemed so ancient as to be almost
prehistoric.
Fosdick was bowling to the porter
to get some rice, quick!
How many portions does you APP
proximate?"
"All you've got"
BOILED or fried?"
ANY old way" The porter ran
forward 20 the dining-car for the am
munition.
Mrs. Temple whispered to her nus
band: TOO bad you're not officiating,
Walter" But he cautioned silence:
Hush! I'm on my vacation"
The train was already coming into
Ogden. Noises were multiplying and
from the increase of passing objects,
the speed seemed to be taking on a
squirt. The bell was clamoring like
a wedding chime in steeple.
Mrs. Wellington was on a chair fast
ening a ribbon round one of the
lamps. and Mrs. Whitcomb was on an
other chair braiding the bell rope with
withered orange branches, when Ash
ton, with kazoo all ready, called out:
what tune shall We play?"
Il prefer the Mendelssohn Wedding

Wellington glared across at her.

Mrs. Fosdick murmured to her

luscious-eyed looks, and whisper:

The train jolted to dead stop. The
conductor called into the car: "Og-

body stood watching and waiting.
Ira, seeing Mallory, edged close and
whispered: stand by TO catch the
minister on the rebound"
But Mallory turned away. What

Marjorie answered with world-oid

He stared at her with masculine dis

forgive me. then why do you marry
me?"

The conductor answered with the
gruffness of despot: Not minute.

While the minister was tying the
last loose ends Of the matrimonial
struggling through the crowd to get
at him. Just as they were near, they
were swept aside by the rush OF the
bride and groom. for the parsons Il

sued them across the veStibule,

Nobody remained to notice what
happened to the parson. Having per-

further interest or use. But to NAL

plans were shattered ruins.
The porter came flying In with two
large bowls OF rice, and shouting.
Here comes the 'possum-er-pos-
SON." Seeing Marjorie. he said:
Shall l perambulate Mista Snoozie-
ums?"
She handed the porter her only
friend and he hurried out. as a lean
and professionally sad ascetic hur-
ried in. He did not recognize his
boyish enemy In the gray-haired, red
faced giant that greeted him, but ne
knew that voice and its gioating
irony:
Hello, Charlie"
He had always found that when Ira
grinned and was cordial. some trouble
was In store for him. He wondered
what rock Ira held behind his back
now, but he forced an uneasy cor
diality: And is this you, Ira? Well
well! II Is yeahs since last We met.
And you're just getting married. Is
this the first time. Ira?'
First offense. Charlie"
The levity shocked Selby, but a
greater shock was In store. for when
he inquired: And who is the-er-
happy-bride?" the triumphant Lath-
rop snickered: 81 believe you used to
know her. Anne Cattle"
This was the rock behind fra's back,
and Selby took it with a vince: Not

THE same. Anne, you remember,
Charlie"
"Oh, yes" said Anne, How do you
do, Charlie?" And she put out q shy
hand, which he took with one still
shyer. He was so unsettled that he
stammered: We'll. we'll. l had always
hoped to marry you. Anne. but not
just this way"
Lathrop cut him short with sharp:
Better get busy-before the train
starts. And I'll pay you in advance
before you set off the fireworks"
The fiippancy panied Rev. Charles.
but he was resuscitated by one
glance at the bill that Ira thrust into
his palm. IL a mans gratitude for
his wife is measured by the size OF
the fee he hands the enabling par
son. Ira was madly In love with Anne
Rev. Charles had a reminiscent sus-
picion that 1t was probably counter
felt, but for once he did Ira an In
justice.
The minister was in such tiutter
from losing his boyhood love. and
gaining so much money all at once
and from performing the marriage on
a train, that he made numerous err
rors in the ceremony, but nobody no.
ticed them, and the spirit. If not the
letter of the occasion, was there and
the contract was doubtless legal
enough
The ritual began with the pleasant
murmur of the preachers voice, and
the passengers crowded round in a
solemn calm, which was suddenly vio-
lated by loud yelp OF laughter from
Wedgewood, who omitted guffaw after
guffaw and bent double and opened
out again, like an agitated umbrella.
The weddingguests turned on him
visages of horror, and Kissed silence
at him. Ashton seized him, shook
him, and muttered:
What the-what's the matter with
you?"
The Englishman shook like boy

neral, and blurted out the explana-
ton:

COUTH BY GEORGE FIT cH,
~ DAKOTA Author Of cat Good Old Sivash"

NOUTH DAKOTA is the warmer frag-
~ ment of the old territory Of Da-
kota, which split during a con-
stitutional convention in 1888 with a loud
report and afterwards became two
states which are crowding the speed
limit in their efforts to distance each
other. South Dakota was a trifle ahead
in 1910 but North Dakota was gaining
and settlers along the state line are in
constant danger of being torn apart BY
the immigration bureaus of the rival
states.
South Dakota Is a rectangular affair
about as big as New York and New
England with a thick sprinzling of PEG
pie IN the east end and an annex in the
west end called the Black bills. The
east end raises corn. Trying to ripen the
corn crop before the frost comes is the
popular east end diversion and keeps
the country in state of nervous per
spiration after the first of September.
The west end used to raise Hades exclu-
sively, but has settled down and now
mines gold and produces local color for
Wild West shows. The west end also
contains the celebrated Bad Lands which
have never produced anything but bad
men. East and west South Dakota are
connected by several UNNAMED rivers. a
state constitution, wagon trail and a
mutual dislike of Nebraska-nOne of
which afford a satisfactory train service
South Dakota was once the home of
the indian, the buffalo, and the wild man
with the nervous and excitable trigger

Gus than land agents now. For many
years it had the most fiourishing divorce
