 Mallory pocketed two of the cap tured revolvers, lest need might arise suddenly again. AS he hurried down the aisle, he was received with cheers. The passengers gave him an ovation, but he only smiled timidly, and made haste to Marjorie's side.

The conductor had forgotten all about the rest of the staff Mallory took him aside, and told him the situation, then turned to Marjorie, said: Excuse me a minute" and hurried forward.

 Mallory had a sort of suparstitioQs dread, not entirely untounded on ex pertenco. that if the train got under way again, 1t would run into some new obstacle to his marriage. He turned to the conductor:
 Say, old man, just hold the train tlli after my wedding. won't you2"
 It was not much to ask in return for his services, but the conductor was tired of being second fin com mand. He growled:
