The porter thought he wanted the
dog back, and quickened his pace TIL
he reachedFthe corridor, where NAL
loryi overlook him and asked, in an
effort at casual Indifference, II he had
seen, anything Of . clergyman on
boards
lGAin,t eninothin' that even looks
like one .said the porter. Then he
hsstened ahead to the baggage car
with the squirning Snoozleums. while
Mallory followed slowly going from
seat to seat and carsto cal, subjecting
all the males to an inspection that
rendered some of them indignant
yodaers Of them uneasy.
I III dear, old Doctor Temple could
only have known what Mallory was
hunting, he would have Bnatched ON
I;the mask, and thrown aside the secli-
lar scarlet tie at all costs. But poor
Mallory, unable to recognize a clergy:
man SO dyed.in.the-wool as Doctor
Temple, sitting in the very next seat
--how could he be expected to pick
out another in the long and crowded
train?
ALL clefgymsn. look alike when they
are in convention assembled, but
sprlnkled through a crowd they are

In the sleeping car bound for Port

Clergyman. He had lean, ascettc
face, solemn eyes, and he was talking
to his seat-mate in an oratorical man
ner. Mallory bent down and tapped
the mans shoulder.
The effect was surprising. The man
jumped as II he were stabbed, and
turned a pale, frightened face on Mall
Tory, ho'murmured:

clergymah?' SIS

Mallory mumbled an apology and
hurried on, Just overhearing his VIC
TINS sigh:
"Such Is fame"
He saw two or three other clerical
persons in that car, but feared to
touch their shoulders. One man in
the last seat held him specially and
he hid in the turn OF the corridor, in
the hope OF eavesdrobping some clue;
This man was bent and scholastic Of
appearance, and wore heavy spec
tacles and a heavy beard, WHICH NAL
lory took for guaranty that he was
not another actor. And he was read
