Marjorie. how can you think such
thing?" still from behind the paper
We'll, Mrs. Wellington said we
ought to have some place to spoon,
and she went away and left us, and
there you stand-and-"
This pierced even the baseball
news, and he threw his arms around
her with glow of devotion.
She snuggled closer, and cooed:
Aren't we having nice long engage
ment? We've travelled a million
miles, and the preacher isn't in sight
yet. What have you been reading
wedding announcements"
MOL was reading about the most
wonderful exhibition. Matte was in
the box-and in perfect FORM"
"Mattie?" Marjorie gasped uneas-
lily.
Mattel" he raved. "and in perfect
FORM"
And now the hidden serpent of jeal-
ousy, which promised to enlivef their
future, lifted its head for the first
time, and Mallory caught his first
glimpse of an unsupported member
Of their household. Marjorie demand
ed with an ominous chill:
"And who's Mattie7. Some former
sweetheart of yours?"
my DEAR" laughed Mallory.
But Marjorie was up and away,
with apt temper: 80 Matte was in
the box, was she? What is it to you,
where she sits? You dare to read
about her and rave over her perfect
form, while you neglect your wife-or
your-oh, what am l, anyway
Mallory stared at her in amaze
ment. He was beginning to learn
what ignorant heather women are
concerning SO many Of the gods and
demi-gods OF mankind. Then, with a
tenderness he might not always show,
he threw the paper down and took
her in his arms: You poor child.
Matte is mana pitcher-and you're
the only woman I ever loved--and
you are liable to be my wife any
minute"
The explanation was sufficient, and
she crawled into the shelter of his
arm with little noises that served for
apology, forgiveness and reconcilia-
ton. Then he made the mistake OF
mentioning the sickening topic of de-
ferred hope:
"a minister's sure to get on at the
next stop-or the next"
Marjorie's nerves were frayed by
too much enduring, and it took only a
word to set them jangling: IF you
say minister to me again, I'll scream"
Then she tried to control herself with
polite: Where is the next stop?"
Ogden"
Where's that? On the map?"
well, it's in Utah"
"Utah!" she groaned. They mar
ry by wholesale there. and We can't
even get sample"

CHAPTER XIV.
The Train Wrecker.

The train-butcher entering the OBJ
servation Room, found only loving
couple. He took in at glance their
desire for solitude. A large part OF
his business was the forcing of wares
on people who did not want them.
His voice and his method suggested
the mosquito. Seeing Mallory and
Marjorie mutually absorbed in read
ing each others eyes, and evidently
in need of nothing on earth less than
something else to read, the train
butcher decided that his best plan OF
attack was to make himself nuis-
ance. It is a plan successfully adopt
ed by organ-grinders, street pianists
and other blackmailers under the
guise On art, who have nothing So
welcome to sell as their absence.
Mallory and Marjorie heard the
train-boy's hum, but they tried to is-
more It.
Papers. gents and ladies'? Yesf
No? Paris fashions, Iady?"
He showed a large periodical be-
tween their very noses, but Marjorie
threw 1t on the floor, with bitter
glance at her own borrowed plumage:
Don't show me any Paris FASH
ions!" Then she gave the boy his
congo by resuming her chat with NAL
lory: How long do we stop at Og-
denw
The train-boy went right on auc-
tionilg his papers and magazines,
and poking them into the laps OF his
prey. And they went right on talking
to one another and pushing his papers
and magazines to the floor.

den, and take the next train back
That's just what I'll do. Nothing,

Indeed I didn't. That is the part
that Is 80 funny. She sent the SUIT
case over to the checking room at the
railroad station and then she went
around and gathered up the other
stuff she wanted to bring. There was
an armful OF gifts for the children
and things OF that sort Then she
thought she would bring dozen
oranges. So when she climbed aboard
the train. with her cloak and her um-
brella and her. oranges and her suit
case. she was pretty we'll loaded

a while she leaned her head on some
thing and went to sleep

into the station Alice woke up. put on

thousand and one belongings. then
for her suitcase. and withdrew hnr
hand full of empty air. She stopped
over and looked-the suitcase was

Yes. while she had slept in her
seat someone had deliberately taken
her suitcase and climbed off at one
OF the way stations with it. You
should have seen her when she ar.
rived for weeks visit with no
clothes but those she stood in and
with no baggage but dozen oranges
and bundle of gifts. She was
tragedy personified."
well I should think so!"
when We had heard all about the
suitcase took Alice up to her room
to Ak up as best she could. and there
was barely time to get ready for din
ner. But she said she would just curl
her hair little and wash her face.
and make her travelling dress do until
she could send home or do some
shopping. So sat down while she
was. preparing herself before the
glass. The first thing she said was:
oh. dear, My curling iron is in the
suitcase"
How provoking"
Wasn't 1t? But said: Never
mind. You can curl your hair with
my iron

her and she fell back on the bed and

LAST WEEKS FIRE

The disastrous results of last week 8
fire bring forcibly to our minds many
things that we need and ought to have
in Hood River. The main thing need
ed is a water system with more water
and greater force. The city govern
ment has worked energetically for
such an Institution for several years.
But, hampered by litigation, it has
been impossible to bring the sale of
bonds to completion and thus secure
funds for the installation of the plant.
Now that action has been taken to
amend the city charter, the work
should be rushed through as swiftly as
possible and the new system installed.
However. with the present water
system the Volunteer Fire Department
does not have proper facilities for
fighting fires, The fire plugs are few
and far between. The city should
make an effort TO provide the depart
ment with more hose. At last week s
fire, with the nearest fire plug many
blocks away, the department did not
have hose sufficient to reach half way
and il was found necessary to make
hurried trips in automobiles to different
private places in the city in order to
borrow hose to get the water supply
where it could be used effectively on
the fire
