CHAPTER X.
Excess Baggage.

Never was young soldier so
stumped by a problem in tactics as
Lieutenant Harry Mallory, safely
aboard his train, and not daring to
leave it, yet hopelessly unaware OF
how he was to dispose of his lovely
but unlabelled baggage.
Hudson and Shaw had erected a
white satin temple to Hymen in berth
number one, had created such commo-
tion, and departed in such confusion,
that there had been no opportunity to
proclaim that he and Marjorie were
mot married-just friends"
And now the passengers had &C
cepted them as that enormous fund OF
amusement to any train, newly we'd
ded pair. To explain the mistake
would have been difficult, even among
friends. But among strangers-well,
perhaps a wiser and a colder brain
than Harry Mallory's could have
stood there and delivered brief ora
ton restoring truth to her pedestal.
But Mallory was in no condition for
such a stole delivery.
He mopped his brow in agony, lost
in a blizzard of Devil 'erment. he
drifted back toward Marjorie. half to
protect and half for companionship.
He found Mrs. Temple cuddling her
close and mothering her as II she
were a baby instead of a bride.
did the poor child run away and
get married?"
Marjorie's frantic ''Boo-hoo-hoo"
might have meant anything. Mrs.
Temple took it for assent, and MUIR
INJURED with glowing "reminiscences:
"Just the way Doctor Temple and 1
did"
She could not see the leaping flash
OF wild hope that lighted up Mallory's
face. She only heard his voice across
her shoulder:
Doctor? Doctor Temple? Is your
husband reverend doctor%
"A reverend doctor?" the little old
lady repeated weakly.
"Yes-a-a preacher"
The poor old congregation-weary
soul was abruptly confronted with the
ruination of all the delight in her lit
tie escapade with her pulpit-fagged
husband. II she had ever dreamed
that the girl who was weeping in her
arms was weeping from any other
fright than the usual fright OF young
brides, fresh from the preachers ben
ediction. she would have cast every
other consideration aside, and told
the truth.
But her husbands last behest be-

The fmpudent Shaw tapped his own
military chest: "She can use mine"
Infatuated at this bride-baiting, Nal
lory rose and confronted the two
imps with clenched fists: You're a
pretty pair of friends, you are!"
The imperturable Shaw put out a
pair of tickets as his only defense:
Here are your tickets, old boy"
And Hudson roared jovially: I'VE
tried to get you a stateroom, but 1t
was gone"
And here are your baggage checks"
laughed Shaw, forcing into his fists a
few pasteboards. 1--WE got your trunks
on the train ahead, all right. Don't
mention it-you're entirely welcome.
1t was the porter that brought the
first relief from the ordeal.
IF you gemmen is gettin' off at
Kedzie avenue, you'd better step
smart. We're slowin' up now"
Marjorie was sobbing too audibly
to hear, and Mallory swearing too in
audibly to heed the opportunity Ked-
zie evenue offered. And Hudson was
yelling: We'll, gooo-bye, old boy and
old girl. Sorry we can't go all the
way" He had the effrontery to try
to kiss the bride goodbye, and Shaw
was equally bold, bit Mallorys fury
enabled him to beat them off. He
elbowed and shouldered them down
the aisle, and sent after them one of
his own shoes. But it just missed
Shaw's flying coattails.
Mallory stood glaring after the de-
parting traitors. He was glad that
they at least were gone, till he real
lied with a sickening slump in his
vitals, that they had not taken with
them his awful dilemma. And now
the train was once more clickety-
clicking into the night and the west

CHAPTER XII.
A Chance Encounter.

A Chance Encounter.
While Mrs. Temple was confiding to
her husband that the agitated couple
in the next seat had just come from
a wedding-factory, and had got on
while he was lost in tobacco Land, the
people in the seat on the other side
of them were engaged in a little
drama of their own.
Ira Lathrop, known to all who knew
him as communicating snapping-tur-
tie, was so busily engaged trying to
drag the farthest invading rice grains
out of the back of his neck, that he
was late in realizing his whereabouts.
When he raised his head, he found
that he had crowded into seat with
an uncomfortable looking woman, who
crowded against the window with old
maidenly timidity.
He felt some apology to be neces-
sary, and he snarled: Disgusting
things, these weddings" After he
heard this, it did not sound entirely
felicitous, so he grudgingly ventured:
Excuse me-you married?"
She denied the soft impeachment
SO heartily that he softened little:
you're a sensible woman. / guess
you and / are the only sensible peo-
pie on this train"
"It-seems-so," she giggled. 1t
was the first time her spinstership
had been taken as material for a CON-
pliment. Something in the girlish
giggle and the strangely young smile
that swept twenty years from her
face and belied the silver lines In
her hair, seemed to catch the old
bachelors attention. He stared at her
SO fiercely that she looked about for
way to escape. Then a curiously
anxious, almost a hungry, look soft
ened his leonine jowls into a boyish
eagerness. and his growl became a
sort of gruff purr:
"Say, you look something like an
old sweetheart-er-frien mine.
Were you ever in Brattleboro. Vt.T
A flush warmed her cheek, and q
sense OF home warmed her prim
speech, as she confessed:
81 came from there originally"
$50 did J." said Ira Lathrop, lean
ing closer, and beaming like big
sun: 81 don't suppose you remember
Ira Lathrop?"
The old maid stared at the bachelor
as il she were trying to see the boy
she had known. through the mask that
time had modelled on his face. And
then she was a girl again, and her
voice chimed as she cried:
"Why, Iral-Mr. Lathropl-is IT.
your"
She gave him her hand--both her
hands, and he smothered them in one
big paw and laid the other on for
extra warmth, as he nodded his saw
age head and roared as gentle as a
sucking dove:
well. well! Annier-Anne--Miss
CattlAi What do you think OF thatr'

Yes, and then We can stop being
friends"
MY love-my friend!" They en-
braced in a most unfriendly manner.
An impatient yelp from the neg
lected dog-basket awoke them.
"oh. Lord, we've brought Snoozle
ums."
"Of course We have" She took the
dog from the prison, tucked him un-
her bridal face into II merely friendly
countenance before they entered the
car. But she must pause for one more
kiss, one more of those bitter-sweet
good-byes. And Mallory was nothing
loath.
Hudson and Shaw were still glumly
perplexed, when the porter returned
In his white jacket.
Il bet they missed the train; all
this work for nothing" Hudson grum-
bled. But Shaw, seeing the porter,
caught a CLEAN OF hope, and asked
anxiously:
Say, porter, have you seen any
thing anywhere that looks like fresh
ly married pair?"
WELL" and the porter rubbed his
eyes with the back of his hand as he
chuckled, well, they's a mighty low
in couple out theah in the corridor"
That's them-they-it!"
Instantly everything was alive and
in action. 1t was as If a bugle had
shrilled in a detected camp.
Get ready" Shaw commanded.
Here's rice for everybody"
Everybody take an old shoe." said
Hudson. You can't miss in this mar

All Aboardl

All Aboardl
The starting of the train surprised
the ironical decorators in the last
stages of their work. Their smiles
died out in a sudden shame, as 1t
came over them that the joke had re-
coiled on their own heads. They had
done their best TO carry out the time
honored rite OF making a newly mar
ried couple as miserable as possible
and the newly married couple had
failed to do its share.
The two lieutenants glared at each
other in mutual contempt. They had
studied much at West Point about
ambushes, and how to avoid them.
Could Mallory have escaped the pit
they had digged for him? They
looked at their handiwork in disgust.
The cosy-corner effect of white rib
bons and orange flowers, gracefully
masking the concealed rice-trap, had
seemed the wittiest thing ever de-
vised. Now it looked the silliest.
The other passengers were equally
downcast. Meanwhile the two lovers
in the corridor were kissing good
byes as if they were hoping to store
up honey enough to sustain their
hearts for a three years fast. And
the porter was studying them with
perplexity.
He was used, however, to waking
people out of dreamland, and he be-
gan to fear that if he were discovered
spying on the lovers, he might suf

They clutched each other again in
a fiercely blissful hug. Marjorie came

But you said you we're sure?"
"Well, when you say yo6're sure,
that means you're not quite sure"
1t was not an entirely satisfactory
justification, and Marjorie began to
quake with alarm: Suppose there
shouldn't be-"
"Oh, them" Mallory answered care.

Marjorie realized at once the enor-
nous abyss between then and the
morrow, and she gasped: Tomorrow!
And no chaperon! oh, I'll jump out
of the window"
Mallory could prevent that, but
when she pleaded, what shall we
do?" he had no solution to offer.
Again it was she who received the
first inspiration.

"Yes, Marjorie?" he assented, du.

"We'll pretend not to be married at

He seized the rescuing ladder:
That's it! Not married-just

"Till we can get married."

Since the increasing racket OF the
train made no effect on the two hearts
beating as one, the small matter of a
cough was as nothing.
Finally the porter was compelled to
reach forward and tap Mallorys arm,
and stutter:
"Scuse me, but co-could git b-by?"
The embrace was united, and the
lovers stared at him with a dazed,
where-am-I? look. Marjorie was the
first to realize what awakened them

so she said, as carelessly as il she
had not just emerged from a young
gentleman's arms:
"oh, porter, how long before the
train starts?"

This simple statement struck the
wool from her eyes and the cotton
from her ears, and she was wide
enough awake when she cried: "Oh,
stop it-stop it,"
That's mon / can do, Missy" the
porter expostulated.
Then I'll jump off," Marjorie
vowed, making a dash Tor the door.
But the porter filled the narrow
path, and waved her back.
"Vestibule's done locked up
trains going lickety-split." Feeling
that he had safely checkmated any
rashness, the porter squeezed past
the dumbfounded pair, and went to
change his blue blouse for the white
coat OF his chambermaidenly duties

a rapturous feeling that circum

what business was IL OF this youhs
husbands what her old husbands
business was? Before she had fairly
begun to debate her duty, almost auto
matically, with the instantaneous in
stinct Of self-protection, her lips had
uttered the denial:
"Oh-he's-just a-plain doctor.
There he is now"
Mallory cast one miserable glance
down the aisle at DR.. Temple coming
back from the smoking room. AS the
old man paused TO stare at the bridal
berth, whose preparation he had not
seen, he was just enough befuddled
by his first cigar for thirty years to
look a trifle tipsy. The motion OF the
train and the rakish tilt Of his I'M
wonted crimson tie confirmed the
suspicion and annihilated Mallory's
newborn hope, that perhaps repentant
fate had dropped a parson at their
very feet.
He sank into the seat opposite
Marjorie, who gave him one terrified
glance, and burst into fresh sobs:
"Oh-oh-boo-hoo- so unhap-
happy"
Perhaps Mrs. Temple was little
miffed at the couple that had led her
astray and opened her own honey
moon with a wanton fib. In any case.
the best consolation she could offer
Marjorie was a perfunctory pat, and a
cynicism:
There, there, dear! You don't
know what real unhappiness Is yet.
Wait till you've been married a
while"
And then she noted a startling lack
of completeness in the brides hand.
"Why-my dear!-where's your
wedding ring?"
With what he considered great
presence of mind. Mallory explained;
"It-it slipped off-I-I picked 1t up.
I have it here" And he took the
little gold band from his waistcoat
and tried to jam it on Marjorie's right
thumb.
mot on the thumb" Mrs. Temple
cried. Don't you known"
"You see, it's my first marriage"
"You poor boy-this finger!" And
Mrs. Temple, raising Marjorie's limp
hand, selected the proper digit, and
held it forward, while Mallory pressed
the fatal circlet home.
And then Mrs. Temple, having COM
pleted their installation as man and
wife, utterly COMPOUNDED their con-
fusion by her final effort at comfort:
"Well, my dears, I'll go back to my
seat, and leave you alone with your
dear husband"
"My dear what?" Marjorie mumbled
namely, and began to smile again.
Whereupon Mrs. Temple resigned her
to Mallory, and consigned her to fate
with a consoling platitude:
"Cheer up, my dear. you'll be all
right in the morning"
Marjorie and Mallory's eyes met in
one wild clash, and then both stared
into the window, and did not notice
that the shades were down.
