him anew what Sacrilege nad been at- tempted-a fool bride had asked him to stop the Trans-American of all trains!-to go shopping of all things!
 He stormed into the smoking room to open the safety valve of his wrath, and found the porter just coming out of the buffet cell with tray, two hol- low-stemmed glasses and a bottle swaddled in napkin.
 Say, Ellsworth, what in - do you suppose that female back there wants ?-wants me to hold the Trans American while"
 But the porter was in furry him. self. He was about to serve cham pagne, and he cut the conductor short:
 "'Scuse me, boss, but they's lov- in couple in the stateroom forward that is in powerful hurry for this. l can't talk to you now. I'll see you later" And he swaggered off, leav- ing the door of the buffet open. The conductor paused to close it, glanced in, started, stared, glared, roared: What's this Well, I'll be-a dog smuggled in here! I'll break that coons head. Come out of there, you miserable or'nary hound" He seized the incredulous Snoozleums by the scruff of his neck, growing, Its you for the baggage car ahead" and dashed out with his prey, just as Mall lory, now getting new bearings on Marjorie's character, spoke across the rampant of his Napoleonically folded arms:
 Well, you're a nice one!-making violent love to conductor before my very eyes. A minute more and 1 would have"
 She silenced him with a snap: Don't you speak to me! 1 hate you! l hate all men. The more l know men the more I like" this reminded her, and she asked anxiously: Where is Snoozleums?"
 Mallory, impatient at the shift of subject, snapped back: "Oh, left him in the buffet with the waiter. What l want to know is how you dare to-"
 "Was it a colored waiter?"
 "Of course. But I'm not speaking
  of"
 But suppose he should bite him?"
 "Oh, you can't hurt those nigger walters. I started to say"
 But I can't have Snoozleums bit ing colored people. It might not agree with him. Get him at once"
 Mallory trembled with suppressed 6ad hut h gave up and growled: "Oh, Lord, all right. I'll get him when I've fin ished-"
 GO get him this minute. And bring the poor darling back to his mother"
 His mother! Ye gods!" cried Mall lory, wildly. He turned away and dashed into the mems room with a furious: Where's that damned dog?"
 He met the porter just returning. The porter smiled: Hes right in heah, sir" and opened the buffet door. His eyes popped and his jaw sagged: Why. I lef' him here just a minute ago."
 You left the window open, too," Mallory observed. Well, I guess he's gone"
 Tue porter was panic-stricken: "Oh, I'm turrible sorry, boss, I wouldn't have lost dat dog. for fortune. If you was to hit me with axe wouldn't mind"
 To his utter befuddlement, Mallory grinned and winked at him, and mur mured: "Oh. that's all right. Don't worry" And actually laid half dol lar in his palm. Leaving the black lids batting over the starting eyes. Mallory pulled his smile into long face and went back to Marjorie like an undertaken: My love, prepare yourself for bad news"
 Marjorie looked up, startled and ap prehensive: "Snoozleums is ill. He did bite the darkey,"
 'orse than that-he-he-fell out of window"
 len!" she shrieked, "in heavens mar, e-when?"
 He was there just minute ago, the waiter says"
 Marjorie went into instant mysteries. wringing her hands and sobbing: "Oh, my darling, my poor child--stop the train at once!"
 She began to pound MalIorys shoulders and shake him frantically He had never seen her this way eith- CT. He was getting his education in advance. He tried to calm her with inexpert words: How can I stop the train? Now. dearie, he was a nice dog, but after all. he was only dog" She rounded on him like A panther.
