Mallory had fed from the scene at
the first hum OF the minister's words.
His fate was like alkan on his palate.
For twelve hundred miles he had ran
sacked the world for a minister. When
one dropped on the train like mama
through the roof, even this miracle
had to be checkmated by a perverse
miracle that sent TO the train an early
infatuation, a silly affair that he him.
self called puppy-loye. And now Mar.
jorie would never marry him. He did
not blame her. He blamed fate.
He was in solitude in the smoking
room. The place reeked with drifting
tobacco smoke and the malodor OF
cigar stubs and cigarette ends. His
plans we're as useless and odious as
cigarette ends. He dropped into a
chair, his elbows on his knees and
his head in his hands-Napoleon on
St Helena.
And then, suddenly he heard Mar
jories voice. He turned and saw her
hesitating in the doorway. He rose
to welcome her, but the smile died
on mis- lips at her chilly speech:
May | have a word with you, sir?'
OF course The airs rather thick
in here" he apologized.
Just watt" she said, ominoGsly,
and stalked in like a young Zenobia.
He put out an appealing hand: Now,
Marjorie, listen 10 reason. or course
know you won't marry me now"
"Oh. you know that. DO your" she
said, with a squared Jaw
But, really, you ought to marry
me-not merely because ! love you
and you're the only girl ever" He
stopped short and she almost smiled
as she tainted him: Go OIL dare
you to say it,"
he swallowed hard and waived the
point: Well, anyway, you ought TO
| marry me-for your own sake"
Then she took his breath away by
answering "Oh, I'm going to marry
you. never fear"
You are" he cried. With rush OF
returning hope. "Oh, knew you
loved me"
She pushed his enctrcling arms
aside Il don't love you. and that's
why I'm going to marry you"
But | don't understand"
"Of course not" she sneered. as II
she were thousand years old, you're

at Mallory with laugh:

He nodded dismally. His own fu-

Ira Lathrop. Mrs. Wellington was
moving about distributing kaZoos and
MIS- Temple had an armload OF old
shoes. some of which had thumped
Mallory on an occasion which
seemed so ancient as to be almost
prehistoric.
Fosdick was howiing to the porter
20 get some rice. quick!
How many portions does you ap-

Boiled or fried?"

forward to the dining-car for the am

band: Too bad you're not officiating
Walter" But he cautioned silence:
Hush! I'm on my vacation"
The train was already coming into
Ogden. Noises were multiplying and
from the increase OF passing objects,
the speed seemed TO be taking on a
squirt. The bell was cIamoring like
a wedding chime IN a steeple.
Mrs. Wellington was on a chair fast
ening a ribbon round one OF the
lamps, and Mrs. Whitcomb was on an
other chair braiding the bell rope with
wtthered orange branches, when Ash
ton, with kazoo all ready, called out:
What tune shall We play?"

Wellington glared across at her.

You'll got me-but not for long.
And one other thing. l want you to

Take It away! DO you promise?"
Mallory surrendered completely.
Anything to get Marjorie safely into
his arms: Il promise anything, II

"Oh, I'll marry you. sir. but not

And while he stared in helpless awe
at the cynic and termagant that
jealousy had metamorphosed this tim

the conductors voice at the rear door
OF the car: Hurry up-we've got to
start"
They heard Lathrops protest:

wait a moment, can't you?"
The conductor answered with the
gruffness of a despot: Not a minute.
I've my orders to make up lost time.
All aboard"
While the minister was tying the
last loose ends OF the matrimonial
knot. Mallory and Marjorie were
struggling through the crowd to get
at him. Just as they were near, they
were swept aside by the rush OF the
bride and groom, for the parsons Il

nounced as he backed toward the
door, was the signal for another we'd
ding riot.
Once more Ira and Anne were show
cred with rice. This time II was their
own. Ira darted out into the corridor,
haling his brand-new wife by the
wrist, and the wedding guests pur'
sued them across the vestibule
through the next car, and on, and on.
Nobody remained to notice what
happened to the parson. Having per
formed his function, he was without
further interest or use. But to Nal
lory and Marjorie he was vitality
