 In their flight forward they passed the mysterious woman in the state room. They were too full of their own mystery to give thought to hers Mrs. Fosdick went timidly proving toward the observation car suspect ing everybody to be spy, as Mallory suspected everybody to be clergy man in disguise
 As she stole along the corridor past the mems clubroom she saw her .husband-her here-and-there husband -wearily Counting the telegraph posts and summing them up into miles. She tapped on the glass and signalled to him, then passed on
 He answered with a look, then pre- tended not to have noticed, and wait ed a few moments before he rose with an elaborate air of carelessness. He beckoned the porter and said:
 Let me know the moment we en- ter Utah, will your"
 "Yassah. We'll be comin' along right soon now. We got to pass through the big Aspen tunnel, after that, befo' long, We splounce into old Utah."
 Don't forget" said Fosdick, as he sauntered out. Ashton perked up his ears at the promise of tunnel and kept his eye on his watch.
 Fosdick entered the observation room with a hungry look in his luscious eyes. His now-and-then wife put up a warning finger to indicate Mrs. Whitcomb's presence at the writing desk.
 Fosdick's smile froze into a smirk of formality and he tried to chill his tone as if he were speaking to a total stranger.
 Good afternoon"
 Mrs. Fosdick answered with equal ice: Good afternoon. Won't you sit down?"
 Thanks. Very picturesque scen- cry, isn't it?"
 Isn't it?" Fosdick seated himself. looked about cautiously, noted that Mrs. Whitcomb was apparently ab- sorbed in her letter, then lowered his voice confidentially His face kept up a strained pretense of indifference, but his whisper was passionate with longing:
 Has my poor little wifey missed her poor old hubby?"
 "Oh, so much!" she whispered. Has poor little hubby missed his poor old wife?"
 Horribly. Was she lonesome in that dismal stateroom all by her self?"
 "Oh, so miserable! I can't stand it much longer"
 Fosdick's face blazed with good news: Tn just little while we come to the Utah ltne--then we're safe."
