CHAPTER XIX.
Foiled Fl!

OlIeQt
It was late in the forenoon before
the train came to the end of its iron
furrow across that fertile space be-
tween two of the worlds greatest riv-
ers, which the Indians called Iowa"
nobody knows exactly why. In con-
trast with the palisades of the Missis-
sippi, the Missouri twists like a great
brown dragon wallowing in congenial
mud. The water itself, as Bob Bur-
dette said, is so muddy that the wind
blowing across 1t raises a cloud Of
dust. 20.
A sonorous bridge led the way into
Nebraska, and the train came to a
halt at Omaha. Mallory and Marjorie
got out to stretch their legs and their
dog. II they had only known that the
train was to stop there the quarter of
AN hour, and II they had only known
some preacher there and had had him
to the station, the ceremony could have
been consummated then and there.
The horizon was fairly saw-toothed
with church spires. There were
preachers, preachers everywhere, and
not a dominic to do their deed.
After they had strolled up and down
the platform, and up and down, and
up and down till they were fain OF
their cramped quarters, again, Mar
jorie suddenly dug her nails into Nal

CHATTER Xxx.
FolIec AGAIN.

Mallory tucked Marjorie under lis
arm and Marjorie tucked SnoozleLns
under hers, and they did a sort Of
three-legged race down the platform.
The porter was pHle blue with excite
ment, and it was with the last gasp If
breath in all three bodies that they
scrambled up the steps of the only
open vestibule.
The porter was mad enough to give
them piece of his mind, and they
were meek enough to take it without
a word Of explanation or resentment.
And the train sped on into the
heart Of Nebraska, along the uapoetic
valley Of the Platte. When lunch
time came, they ate 1t together, but
in gloomy silence. They sat in Mar
jones berth throughout the appalling
ly monotonous afternoon in a stupor
of disappointment and helpless detec-
ton, speaking little and saying Goth
ing then.
Whenever the train stopped, NAL
Tory watched the on-getting passeH-
gers with his keerest eye. He had a
theory that since most people who
looked like preachers were decidedly
lay, it might be we'll to take a gam
bler's chance and accost the least
ministerial person next.
So, in his frantic anxiety, he select
ed horsey-lookirk individual who got
on at North Platte. He looked so
much like a rawhided ranchman that
Mallory stole up on him and asked
him to excuse him, but did he happen
to be a clergyman? The man replied
by asking Mallory If he happened to
be a flea-bitten maverick, and embel-
lished his question with a copious flow
Of the words ministers use, but with
secular arrangement of them. In
fact he split one word in two to insert
a double-barrelled curse. All that NAL
lory could do was to admit that he
was a fiea-bitten what-he-said, and
back away.
After that, If a vicar In full uni
form had marched down the aisle
heading a procession Of choir-boys,
Mallory would have suspected him. He
vowed in his haste that Marjorie
might die an old maid before he would
approach anybody else on that sub
ject.
Nebraska would have been a nice
long state for honeymoon, but its
four hundred-odd miles were a dreary
length for the couple 80 near and yet
SO far. The railroad clinging to the
meandering Platte made the way far
longer, and Mallory and Marjorie left
like Pyramus and Thisbe wandering
along an eternal wall, through which
they could see, but not reach, one
another.
They dined together as dolefully as
II they had been married for forty
years. Then the slow twilight soaked
them in its melancholy. The porter
lighted up the car, and the angels
lighed up the stars, but nothing light
ed up their hopes.
We've got to quarrel again, my be-
loved" Mallory groaned to Marjorie.
Somehow they were too dreary even
to nag one another with an outburst
for the benefit Of the eager-eyed pas
sengers.
A little excitement bestirred them
as they realized that they were con-
fronted with another night-robeless
night and morrow without change OF
gear.

lory's arm.
Honey! look-look!"
Honey looked, and there before
their very eyes stood as clerical
looking person as ever announced
strawberry festival.
Mallory stared and stared, till Mar
jorie said:
Don't you see? stupid! it's a
preacher! preacher!"
ut looks like one" was as far as
Mallory would commit himself, and he
was turning away. He had about come
to the belief that anything that looked
like parscn was something else But
Marjorie whirled him round again,
with shrill whisper to listen. And
! he overheard in tones addicted to the
pulpit:
yes, deacon. trust that the har-
vest will be plentiful at my new
church. 1t grieves me to leave the
dear brothers and sisters in the Lord
in Omaha, but felt called to wider
pastures"
And lady who was evidently Mrs.
Deacon spoke up:
We'll miss you terrible. We all
say you are the best pastor our church
ever had"
Mallory prepared to spring on his
prey and drag him to his lair, but
Marjorie held him back.
Hes taking our train, Lord bless
his dear old soul"
And Mallory could have Rugged him.
But he kept close watch. To the rap
ture Of the wedd:ag-hungry twain, he
| preacher shook hands with such of lis
flock as had folio we'd him to the sta
ton, picked up his valise and wa ID
up to the porter, extending his tic IT.

coud have throttled him for saying t:
"Scuse me, poison, but that's go

With little shrek of dismay, tie
parson clutched his valise and set IF
at a run. Mallory dashed after LIN
and Marjorie after Mallory. TIey
shouted as they rGn but the conduCt tr
Of the east-boun6 train sang out "All
aboard" and swung on.
The parson made a sprint and
caught the ultimate rail of the moving
train. Mallory made frantic leap at
flying coat-tail and missed. AS ne
and Marjorie stood gazing reproach-
fully at the train which was giving a
beautiful illustration of the laws Of re-
treating perspective, they heard wild
bowls of "Hi! hill" and Hay! hay!"
and turned to see their own train in
motion, and the porter dancing a
Zulu step alongside.

z2-SSns.:!s, and through the wisps his
face was one of Oriental luxury.
Mallory's eyes were caught from
this picture of beatitude by the en-
trance, at the other door, of man
who had evidently swung aboard at
the most recent stop-for Mallory had
not seen him. His gray hair was
crowned with a soft black hat, and
his spare frame wes swathed in a
frock coat that had seen better days.
His soft gray eyes seemed to search
timidly the smoke-clouded atmos'
phere, and he had bashful air which
Mallory translated as one OF dittidence
in a place where liquors and cigars
were dispensed.
With equal diffidence Mallory ad-
yanced and in low tone accosted the
newcomer cautiously:
Excuse me-you look like a clergy
man"
The hell you say!"
Mallory pursued the question no
further.

, What pity that we left our things
in the taxicab," Marjorie sighed. And
this time she said, I'VE left Them" in
stead of you left them" 1t was very
gracious of her, but Mallory did not
acknowledge the courtesy. Instead he
gave start and a gasp: ,..-...
Good Lord, Marjorie, we never
paid the second taxicab!"
Great heavens, how shall we ever
pay him? He's been waiting there
twenty-four hours. How much do you
suppose we owe him."
About a year Of my pay, guess"
"You must send him a telegram Of
apology and ask him to read his
meter. He was such a nice man-the
kindest eyes-for a chauffeur"
But how can l telegraph him? I
don't know his name. or his number,
or his company, or anything"
tits too bad. He'll go through life
hating US and thinking we cheated
him"
We'll, he doesn't know our names
either"
And then they forgot him temporari-
ly for the more immediate need Of
clothes. All the passengers knew that
they had left behind what baggage
they had not sent ahead, and much
sympathy had been expressed. But
most people would rather give you
their sympathy than lend you their
clothes. Mallory did not mind the
men, but Marjorie dreaded the wom-
en-. She was afraid of all of them but
Mrs. Temple.
She threw herself on the little lady's
mercy and was asked to help herself.
She borrowed nightgown of extraor-
binary simplicity, shirt waist of an
ancient mode, and a number of other
things.
If there had been anyone there to
see she would have made a most anG-
chronistic bride.

&C yted them and when he found him
self in them, he whisked out the light,
he was so ashamed of himself.
Once more the whole car gaped at
the unheard of behavior of its newly
welded pair. The poor porter had
been hungry for bridal couple, but
as he went about gathering up the
cast-off footwear Of his large family
and found Mallory's shoes at number
three and Marjorie's tiny boots at
number five, he shook his head and
groaned.

Matrimony to and Fro.

And the next morning they were in
Wyoming-well toward the center OF
that State. They had left behind the
tame levels and the truly rural towns
and they were among foothills and
mountains, passing cities of wildly
picturesque repute, like Cheyenne, and
Laramie, Bowie, and Medicine Bow,
and Bitter Greek, whose very names
imply literature and war whoops, cow
boy yelps, barking revolvers, another
redskin biting the dust, cattle STAN
pedes, town-paintings. humorous
lyrchings and bronchos in epileptic
frenzy.
But the talk Of this train was con-
cerned with none Of these wonders,
which the novelists and the maya.
zinlst have perhaps trife overpub-
lished. The talk of this train was con-
cerned with the eighth wonder Of the
world, semi-detached bridal couple.
Mrs. Whitcomb was eager enough to
voice the sentiment of the whole pop
ulace, when she looked up from her
novel in the observation room and,
nudging Mrs. Temple, drawled: by
the way, my dear, has that bridal
couple made up its second nights
quarrel YETI"
THE Mallorys?" Mrs. Temple
flushed as she answered, mercifully.
"Oh, yes, they were very friendly
again this morning" '.
Mrs. Whitcomb's countenance was
cynical: MY dear, I've been married
twice and ought to know something
about honeymoons, but this honeyless
honeymoon" she cast up her eyes
and her hands in despair. -.

Now Fear War Prices For Meat
Dealers Say Cattle Are Scarce and Stock Feed is
 High

Chicago, May While prices of beef and other commodities are frac- tionally lower here than in New York, according to the quotations telegraph
 ed from that city today, in Chicago they attained figures approximating
 the highest known in the last half century
 Wholesale dealers say the rapid risa is due to natural causes, and retailers profess to be greatly alarmed over the
 situation. Within the next few weeks. it is predicted by butchers and pack , CTS, prices something like the exorbit- ant rates Of civil war times may pre- vail. The wholesale price of dressed
 beef in the local markets today was twelve cents a pound, an advance of two cents in a week. The advance in the price of lamb was even more mark ed. It sold at fifteen cents, wholesale, as against ten cents a, week ago.
 Dressed sheep sold at twelve cents a pound, while the price a short time ago l was six cents.
 Packers say that cattle are not com ing in from Texas, owing to lack of rain. The cold winter killed off about 10 per cent. Of the live stock on the Western plains. Added to all these things is the high price of corn and all
 kinds of stock feed.
 The increase in the local prices of meats averaged from 8 to cents in advance of the prices last year. Round steak, which sold for IS cents last year, sold yesterday for 2 cents. Sir loin, which sold for 22 cents last year, sold yesterday at 26 cents. Beef ten
 derloin, which sold for 30 cents a pound last year. is scarce at 35 cents. The prices on pork, lamb, and chick ems are approximately high. In New York the wholesale price of beef was quoted at 13 cents a pound, as compared with F cents in this city.
 'sThe high price is the natural out come of the present beef shortage" said one of the officials of Su.zberger
 & Sons. t"This in turn is due to the
 high price of. corn this year. All good
 beef is corn fed, and corn recently
 jumped to 67 and 6s cents bushel,
 which made it almost prohlbitive for
 feeding to cattle. It is difficult to say
 just how long the present high prices
 will last. With the coming of the
 warm weather I should say that It
 should not last much longer"
 There has been a gradual advance
 in livestock prices for the last two
 months said Arthur Meeker, member
 of the Executive committee of Armour
 & Co.,, in explanation of the increased
 price of meat of all kinds. Like all
 movements in livestock prices, 1t Is
 due to natural causes of supply and
 demand"
