Down Brakes!

Down BRAKES!
Just as Kathleen flung her head In
baffled vexation, and Mallory started
to stink back to Marjorie, with an.
other defeat, there came an abrupt
shock as if that gigantic child to
whom our railroad trains are toys,
had reached down and laid violent
hold on the Trans-American in full
career.
Its smooth, swift flight became sud-
denly such spasm of jars, shivers
and thuds that Mallory cried:
Were off the track"
He was sent Topping down the aisle
like a bolster hurled through the Car.
He brought up with sickening slam
across the seat into which Marjorie
had been jounced back with breath
taking slam. And then Kathleen
came flying backwards and landed in
heap on both of them.
Several of the other passengers
were just returning from breakfast
and they were shot and scattered all
over the car as If great chain Of hui
man beads had burst.
Women screamed. men yelled. and

THE HOLO-uP.
The violent stopping OF the train,

The violent stopping Of the train,
the heart-shaking yells and shots out
side, found the passengers already apt
to respond without delay to the ap-
peals of fright. After the first hush
of dread, came the reaction to panic.
Each passenger showed his own
panic in his own way. Ashton whirled
round and round, like horse with
the blind staggers, then bolted down
the aisle, knocking aside men and
women. He climbed on a seat, pulled
down an upper berth, and, scrambling
into 1t, tried to shut it on himself.
Mrs. Whitcomb was so frightened that
she assailed Ashton with fury and
Selling his feet, dragged him back in
to the aisle, and beat him with her
fists, demanding that he protect her
and save her for Sammy's sake.
Mrs. Fosdick, rushing out of her
stateroom and not finding her lus-
cious-eyed husband, laid hold OF jim
mie Wellington and ordered him to
60 to the rescue Of her spouse. Mrs.
Wellington tore her hands loose, cry
ing: Let him 60, madam. He has a
wife of his own to defend"
Jimmie was trying to pour out dy-
ing messages, and only sputtering, for
getting that he had put his watch in
his mouth to hide 1t, though its chain
was still attached to his waistcoat.
Anne Cattle, who had read much
about Chinese atrocities to mission
aries, gave herself up to death, yet re-
joiced greatly that she had provided
a timely man to lean on and should
not have to enter Paradise spinster,
providing she could manage to con-
vert Ira in the next few seconds, be-
fore 1t was everlastingly too late. She

CHAPTER XxxViii.

Hands Up!
All this time Lieutenant Mallory
had been thinking as hard as an Of
ficer in an ambuscade. His narrowing
experiences and incessant defeats OF
the past days had unnerved him and
shattered his self-contidence. He was
not afraid, but intensely disgusted. He
sat absent-mindedly patting Marjorie
on the back and repeating:
Don't worry, honey; they're not
going to hurt anybody. They don't
want anything but our money. Don't
worry, won't let em hurt you"
But he could not shake Off sense
of nausea. He felt himself repre-
sentative of the military prowess OF
the country, and here he was as help.
less as man on parole.
The fact that Mallory was a SOL
dier occurred to number of the pas
sengers simultaneously. They had
been trained by early studies in those
beautiful works of fiction, the school
histories of the United States, and by
many Fourths of July, to believe that
the American soldier is an invincible
being, who has never been defeated
and never known fear.
They surged up to Mallory in a
wave of hope. DR.. Temple, being near.
est, spoke first. Having learned by
experience that his own prayers were
not always answered as he wished,
had an impulse to try some weapon
he had never used.
Young man." he pleaded across the
back of a seat, will you kindly lend
me a gum"
Mallory answered sullenly: Mine is
in my trunk on the train ahead, damn
1t. II !. had it I'd have lot Of fun"

"She cried all night"
For me?"
mo, for papa. He's such a good
traveler-and he had such good
start. She really kept the whole car
awake"
TOO bad" Mallory condoled, per.
functorily, then with sudden eager
ness, and a trial at indifference: Il
see you have that bracelet still"
"Of course, you dear fellow.
wouldn't be parted from it for worlds"
Marjorie gnashed her teeth, but
Kathleen could not hear that. She
gushed on: And now we have met
again! 1t looks like Fate, doesn't
it?
1T certainly does" Mallory assent.
ed, bitterly; then again, with Zest:
Let me see that old bracelet, will
you?'
He tried to lay hold of it, but Kath-
leen giggled coyly: ITS just an ex-
cuse to hold my hand" She swung
her arm over the back of the seat
coquettshly, and Marjorie made
desperate mnge at it, but missed,
since Kathleen, finding that Mallory
did not pursue the fugitive hand,
brought it back at once and yielded
it up:
"There-be careful, someone might
look"
Mallory took her by the wrist in a
! gingerly manner. and said, so that's
the bracelet? Take 1t off, won't you?"
"Never.-it's wished on" Kathleen
protested, sentimentally. Don't you
remember that evening in the moon
( light"
Mallory caught Marjorie's accusing
eye and lost his head. He made a
ferocious effort to snatch the bracelet
off When this onset failed he had
recourse to entreaty: Just slip 1t
Off" Kathleen shook her head tantal-
izingly. Mallory urged more strenu-
ously: please let me see it,
Kathleen shook her head with So
phstication: You'd never give 1t
! back. You'd pass it along to that
! train-acquaintance."
How can you think such a thing"
Mallory demurred. and once more
made his appeal please, please, slip
it off"
What on earth makes you so anx-
ious?" Kathleen demanded, with sud-
den suspicion. Mallory was stumped.
till an inspiration came to him: I'D
like toto get you nicer one. That
one isn't good enough for you"
Here was an argument that ksth-
leen could appreciate. "Oh, how sweet
of you, Harry" she gurgled, and had
the bracelet down to her knuckles,
when a sudden instinct checked her:
| when you bring the other, you can
have this"
She pushed the circlet back, and
Mallory's hopes sank at the gesture.
| He grew frantic at being eternally
frustrated in his plans. He caught
Kathleens arm and, while his words
pleaded. his hands tugged: please
you know"
Kathleen read the determination in
his fierce eyes, and she struggled fu-
riously: why, Richard-Chauncey!
-er-Billy! I'm amazed at you! Let
go or I'll scream!"
She rose and, twisting her arm
from his grasp, confronted him with
bewildered anger. Mallory cast to-
ward Marjorie a look OF surrender
and despair. Marjorie laid her hand
on her throat and in pantomime sug-
gested that Mallory should throttle
Kathleen, as he had promised.
But Mallory was incapable OF fur.
ther violence; and when Kathleen,
with all her coquetry, bent down and
murmured: You are very naughty
boy, but come to breakfast and We'll
talk it over" he was so added that
he answered.: Thanks, but l never
eat breakfast
