Marjorie urged, that you've bungled

It was SO undeniable that he could
only groan: "And suppose IN hear
of this till my dying day, dearest"
Marjorie had little temper all her
own. So she defended 1t: IF you are
so afraid of my temper, Nve, perhaps
you'd better call it all off before it's
too late"

"You did, too, honey. You said I'D

"Don't you dare to Think" Mallory

The porter breathed hard, and gave
this bridal couple up as riddle that
followed no known rules. He went to
find the sleeping car conductor, and
returned with the Information that

leaped to her feet: I'm going up in

"For the dog?"
"For my trunk"
And now Mallory annihilated her
completely, for he gasped: Our
trunks are on the train ahead!"
Marjorie fell back for one moment,
then bounded to her feet with shrilI
commands: Porter! Porter! I want
you to stop this train this minuts!"
The porter called back from the
depths of a berth: This train don't

Marjorie had strength enough for
only one vain protest: DO you mean
to say that I've got to 60 to San Fran

Memphis, Tenn, Jan. Five men
plundered the mail and express cars
of Rock Island train No. "a near Hull

with booty long before the alarm was
spread. The holdup was so cleverly
executed that none of the train IN
ployes could offer resistance, and few
of the passengers knew anything had
happened until they awoke to find the
train stalled.
The value of the plumber taken by the
robbers has not yet been determined
They ransacked the postal car, blew

apparently overlooking nothing that
might add to their profit. This is the
second hold-up near Hulburt within
the last four months.
The train left Memphis about mid
night. After it cleared the western
terminus of the Mississippi river
bridge it was boarded by two masked
men. They climbed over the tender,
covered the engine crew with guns
and ordered the train halted.
The engineer was bound and gagged,
then kicked off into the dlch. The
fireman ran the train on several miles
until it was signaled to halt at a
campfire alongside the track, where
three other bandits waited.
Here the baggage and mail cars
were detached from the passenger
coaches and before any OF the train
crew knew what was happening. the
locomotive with its light load was fsa-
rying farther if1o the country. Wi.iie
one Of the bandits held gun over the
fireman, the remaining four OF the
| band clambored into the express and
mail cars and covered the messengers
and clerks.
The engine with the two cars pro-
| ceeded to a point a mile east Of Hull
burt Ark. Then the robbers ran
sacked the postal car. blew open the
| express safe, gathered the plumber and
fed.
They obtained a good start before
the alarm was given. Tie telegraph
wires into Memphis had sGen cut. Tie
first intimation of danger to the train
came TO the employees Of the Rock
Island road at the western terminus
Of the Mississippi bridge. They heari
heavy detonations, apparently from Il
point far in the country. Recalling
the last November hoIdup the Rock
Island employees sent a hurry police
call to Memphis.
