CHAPTER xxxVII.
Down Brakes!

Inst as Kathleen flung her head in
bafied 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 s-American in full
career.
It's smooth. swift flight became sud
denly such a spasm of jars. shiyers

Several of the other passengers
were Just returning from breakfast
and they were shot and scattered all
over the car as If a great chain OF hui
man beads had burst.
Women screamed, men yelled, and
then while they were still struggling
against the seats and one another, the
train came to halt.
'rhank God. We stopped in time!

CHAPTER XXXViiI,
Hands Up!

F51dS UP!
All this time Lieutenant Mallory
had been thinking as hard as an OF
flccr in an amhuscadc His narrowing
experiences and incessant defeats OF
the past days had unnoryod him and
shattered his solf-confidence. lie 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 10 hurt anybody They don't
want anything but our money. Don t
worry, | won't let en- hurt you"
Bul he could not shake off a sense
of nausea. He felt himself a repre-
sentative Of the military prowess OF
the country. and here he was as help
less as a man on parole.
The fact that Mallory was sol

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 inyncibio
being. who has never been defeated
and never known fear.
They surged up to Mallory in a
wave OF hope. Dr. Temple, being near

the stateroom door with such a thump
that Mrs Fosdick was sure detec.

with a hattering ram.
But when Jimmie got back breath
enough to talk, he remembered the
trainstopping excitement of the day
before and called out:
Has Mrs. Mallory lost that pup
again?"
Everybody laughed uproariously at
this. People will laugh at anything
or nothing when they have been
frightened almost TO death and sud
denly relieved OF anxiety.
Everybody was cracking a Joke at
Mafjories expense, Everybody felt n
good-natured grudge against her for
being such a mystery The car was
ringing with hilarity when the por-
ter came stumbling in ana paused at
the door, with eyes an white, hands
waving frantically, and lips mapping

The passengers stopped laughing at
Marjorie, TO laugh at the porter. Ash

Everybody roared at this, till the
porter finally managed to articulate:
