Mallory wore an aspect OF arrant

Mrs. Temple wrung her twitching

prayer?"
But the preacher was so confused
that he answered: whats the use OF

Marjorie was trying at the same

After the first bood.sweat OF abject

gers came to realize that the invaders
were not after lives, but loot. Then
came a panic of miserly effort to con-
ceal treasure.
Kathleen, finding herself banished
from Mallory's protection, ran to Mrs.
Whitcomb, who had given Ashton up

Mrs. Fosdick found her husband at
last, for he made wild dash to
her side, embraced her, called her his
wife and deiied all the powers Of Ne

fat wallet from capture, he tossed it

bered over the brass rail of the OBJ

driving the conductor anead Of him,
forged his way aft from the front,

He turned towards the seat where
the clergyman and his wife were sit

citation playing SO close at hand
Little Jimmie paused, caressed the
flask, and kissed it. Goodbye, o!d
playmate!" Then. tossing his head
with bravado he reached out and
touched the clergyman's shoulder. Dr
Temple turned and rose with ques-
tioning look Wellington put the flask
In his hand and chuckled: Merry
Christmas!"
But, my good man" the preacher
objected, finding in his hand dona-
tion about as welcome and as wiedy
as a strange baby Wellington winked:
1T may come in handy for-your
patients"
And now, struck with sudden
idea, Mrs. Wellington spoke: "Oh,
Mrs. Temple
Yes, my dear" said the little old
lady, rising. Mrs. Wellington placed
in her hand a small portfolio and
laughed: Happy New Year."
Mrs Temple stared at her gift and
gasped: Great heavens! Your Gig
ars."
They'll be such consolation,
Mrs. Wellington explained, while the
doctor is out with his patients
DR.. Temple and Mrs. Temple looked
at each other in dismay, then at the
flask and the cigars, then at the Well
ingtons, then they stammered:
Thank you so much" and sank back.
Wellington stared at his wife: 'Lu.
cretia, are you sincere?"
Jimmie, | promise you I'll never
smoke another cigar"
MY love-" he cried. and seized her
hand. You know | always said you
were queen among women, Lu-
cretia"
She beamed back at him: And you
always were the prince OF good fel-
lows, Jimmie. lhen she almost
blushed as she murmured, almost shy
ly: May | pour your coffee for you
again this morning.
For life." he whispered. and they
moved up the aisle, arm in arm,
humping from seat to seat and not
knowing 1t.
When Mrs. Whitcomb, seated in the
dining car, saw Mrs. Little Jimmie
pour Mr.. Little Jimmies coffee, she
choked on hers. She vowed that she
would not permit those odious Well
ingtons to make fools of her and her
Sammy. She resolved to telegraph
Sammy that she had changed her
mind about divorcing him, and order
him to take the first train west and
meet her halfway on her journey
home.

THJJRMONT FREDERICK COUNTY, MD, THURSDAY, MAY %,

then while they were still Struggling
against the seats and one another, the
train came to halt.
THANK God, We stopped In time!"
Mallory gasped, as he tried to disen-
gage himself and Marjorie from Kath-
leen.
The passengers began to regain
their courage with their equilibrium.
Little Jimmie Wellington had flown
the whole length of the car, clinging
to his wife as II she were Francesca
da Rimini, and he Paolo, fitting
through Inferno. The flight ended at
the stateroom door with such a thump
that Mrs. Fosdick was sure a detec-
tive had come for her at last, and
with battering ram.
But when Jimmie got back breath
enough to talk, he remembered the
train-stopping 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
Marjorie's expense. Everybody felt a
good-natured grudge against her for
being such mystery. The car was
ringing with hilarity, when the por-
ter came stumbling in and paused at
the door, with eyes all white, hands
waving frantically, and lips Tapping
like flannel, in vain effort to speak.
The passengers stopped laughing at
Marjorie, to laugh at the porter. Ash
ton sang out:
What's the matter with you, por-
ter? Are you trying to crow"
Everybody roared at this, till the
porter finally managed to articulate:
"T-t-ttrain rob-rob.robbers!"
Silence shut down as If the whole
crowd had been smitten with paraly-
sis. From somewhere outside and
ahead came a pop-popping as OF fire.
crackers. Everybody thought, Re
volvers!" The reports were mingled
with barbaric yells that turned the
marrow in every bone to snow.
These regions are full of historic
terror All along the Nevada route
the conductor, the brakemen and old
travellers had pointed out scene after
scene where the Indians had slaked
the thirst of the arid land with white
mans blood. Ashton, who had trav-
eled this way many times. had made
himself fascinatingly horrifying the
evening before and ruined several
breakfasts that morning in the dining
car, by regaling the passengers with
stories OF pioneer ordeals, men and
women massacred in burning wagons,
or dragged away to tiendish cruelty
and obscene torture staked out supine
on burning wastes with eyelids cut
of, bound down within reach of rat
tlesnakes, subjected to every misery
that human deviltry could devise.
Ashton had brought his fellow pas
sengers to state of ecstatic excit-
ability, and, like many a recounter OF
burglar stories at night, had tuned
his own nerves to high tension
