II you pay me an advence deposit
now, l file your claim de minute de
train stops and your own wife don't
know you're divorced"
"I'll think it over" said Wellington,
rising with resolution.
Don't forget us. Baumann and
Blumen. Satisfaction guaranteed or
your wife refunded. Avoid substi-
toots." And then, seeing that he could
not extract any cash from Little JIM
nile, Mr.. Baumann descended upon
Mallory, who was just finishing his
shave. Laying his hand on Mallory's
arm, he began:
"Excoose. pleass. Can At you out
Wit a nice divorce?"
Divorce? = me! - that's good"
laughed Mallory at the vision OF 1t.
Then a sudden idea struck him. 1t
took no great genius to see that Mr..
Baumann was not q clergyman, but
there were other marriers to be had.
You don't perform marriages, do
your" he asked.
Mr. Baumann drew himself up:
"Who says don't? Amt justice
of the peaces!"
Mallory put out his hand in vel.
come: then q new anxiety chilled
him. He had a license for Chicago,
but Chicago was far away: DO
need a license In Nevada?"
why shouldn't your" said Mr.. Bau-
mann. Don't all sorts of things got
to have q license in Nevada, saloons,
husbands, dogs" &
"How could I get one?" Mallory
asked as he went on dressing.
Amt got few Wit me? Do you
want to get a nice re-marriaSe II
censeT
"Re-marriagei-huh!" he looked
round, and. seeing that no one else
was near: II haven't taken the first
step Pet"
Mr.. Baumann laved his hands In
one another: "A betchelor? All, l see
you want to marry 4 nice divorce
lady in R-r-reno"
"She isn't in Reno and she has
never been married. either"
This simple statement seemed to
astound Mr.. Baumann:
"A betcheller marry maiden!-tn
Reno!-oi, OF, OF! It hasn't been
done yet, but It might be-"
Mallory looked him over and
twinge Of distaste disturbed him:
you furnish the license, but--er-ah
lis there any chance OF clergyman
"a Christian clergyman-being at the
station?"
IVY do you want It a cloigymany
Can't do It just as good? Or nice
tat alderman I can get your"
Mallory pondered: II don't think
she'd like anything but clergyman"
"Vell," Baumann confessed, "a lady
is liable to be particular about her
foist marriage. Anyway sell you de
license"
"All right"
Mr.. Baumann whipped out port
folio full of documents, and as he
searched them, philosophical: "A
man ought always to carry a good mar
riage license. It might be he should
need 1t in a Lurry." He took a large
iron seal from his side-pocket and
stamped the paper and then, with
fountain pen poised, pleaded: Vat is
the names, pleass?"
mot SO loud!" Mallory whispered.
Baumann put his finger to his nose,
wisely: II see, It is confidential
marriage. Sit down once"
When he had asked Mallory the
necessary questions and taken his fee,
he passed over the document by
which the sovereign state OF Nevada
graciously permitted two souls to be
made more or less one In the eyes OF
the law.
Here you are" said Mr.. Baumann.
''vit dat you can get married anyvere
in Nevada"
