CHAPTER TX.
All Aboardl

The starting Of the train surprised
the ironical decorators In the last
stages of their work. Their smiles
died out In 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 q 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 effer, of white rib
bons and orange flowers. gracefully
masking the concealed rice-trap, had
seemed the wittiest thing ever de-
vised. Now 1t looked the silliest.
The other passengers were equally
downcast. Meanwhile the two lovers
in the corridor were kissing good.
byes as II they were hoping to store
up honey enough to sustain their
hearts for 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-
fer. So he coughed discreetly three
or four times.
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.

console her with caresses and muir
murs of, There's there, don't cry,
dearie!"
Hudson and Shaw followed close
with mawkish mockery: Don't cry,
dearie"
And now Mrs. Temple intervened.
She had enjoyed the initiation cere-
mony as we'll as anyone. But when
the little bride began to cry, she re-
membered the pitiful terror and shy
shame she had undergone as girl
wife, and she fastened to Marjorie's
side. brushing the men away like
gnats.
you poor thing" she comforted.
Come, my child, lean on me, and
have good cry"
Hudson grinned, and put out his
own arms: "She can lean on me, II
she'd rather"
Mrs. Temple glanced up with indig-
nant rebuke: Her mother is far
away, and she wants mothers breast
to weep on. Here's mine, my dear"
The impudent Shaw tapped his own
military chest: "She can use NINE"
Infuriated at this bride batting, 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 ct you a stateroom, but 1t
was gone"
And here are your baggage checks"
laughed Shaw, forcing into his fists a
few pasteboards. I'VE got your trunks
on the train ahead, al! 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 tin 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 cant go all the
way" He had the effrontery to try
to kiss the bride goodbye, and Shaw
was equally bold, but Mallory's 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
Shaws flying coattails.
Mallory stood glaring after the de-
parting traitors. He was glad that
they at least were gone. till he real
ized with 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.
