Observation-Disclosures.

Marjorie, as the supposed wife OF
the rescuing angel, was permitted
first search, and the first thing she
hunted for was a certain gold brace
let that was none Of hers. She found
1t and seized it with prayer OF
thanks, and concealed it among her
own things.
Mrs. Temple gave her guilty start,
by speaking across barrier:
Mrs. Mallory, your husband is the
bravest man on EARTH"
"Oh, know he is" Marjorie
beamed, and added with a spasm OF
conscience: "but he isn't my hus-
band!"
Mrs. Temple gasped il horror. but
Marjorie dragged her close, and
poured out the whole story, while the
other passengers recovered their prop
critics with as much Joy as it they
were all new gifts found on a bush.
Meanwhile, under MaHory's guild
ance, the porter fastened the outlaws
together back to back with the straps
of tseir own feed-bags. The porter
was rejoicing that his harvest OF tips
was not bighted after all. ...-..--

The porter chuckled: "My fingers is

Mallory pocketed two of the cap
tured revolvers, lest a 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.
She regarded him with such idol
airy that he almost regretted his deed.
But this mood soon passed in her ex-
| element, and in a moment she was
surreptitiously showing him the
bracelet. He became an accessory

AS he drew his head In, a side
glance showed him that up near the
engine a third train-robber held the
miserably weary train crew in line.

to pull the bellrope, to proceed. The

conductor followed Mallory through

Wolves in the Fold.


Mallory's heart sank to its usua
depth, but Marjorie had another OF
her inspirations. She startled every
body by suddenly reckoning and call
Ing: Excuse me, Mr.. Robber. Come
here, please"
The curious gallant edged her way,
keeping sharp watch along the line:
sWhat d'you want?"
Marjorie leaned nearer, and spoke
In a low tone with an amiable smile:
THAT lady who wanted to kiss you
has bracelet up Der sleeve"
The robber stared across his mask,
and wondered, but laughed, and
grunted: Much obliged" Then he
went back, and tapped Kathleen on
the shoulder When She turned round,
In the hope that he had reconsidered
his refusal to make the trade, he in
furiated her by growing: Excuse

He ran his hand along her arm, and
found her bracelet, and accomplished

Il wish it on" the villain laughed,
and 1t Joined the growing heap in the
feed-bag.
Kathleen, doubly enraged, broke
out viciously: You're a common,

'Ah, turn round!" the man roared.
and she obeyed in silence.
Then he explored Mrs. Whitcomb,
but with such small reward that he
said: Say, you'd oughter have a
pocketbook somewhere. Where's it
at?"
Mrs. Whitcomb blushed furiously:
''None of your business, you low
brute"
"Perdooce, madame" the scoundrel
snorted, "perdooce the purse, or I'll
hunt for it myself"
Mrs. Whitcomb turned away. and
after some management of her skirts,
slapped her handbag into the eager
palm with a wrathful: You're no gen.
tleman, sir!"
"If 1 was, I'd be in Wall street." he
laughed. Nov you can turn round"
And when she turned, he saw a bit
Of chain depending from her back
hair. He tugged, and brought away
the locket, and then proceeded to
sound Ashton for hidden wealth.

CHAPTER XII.
A Hero in Spite of Himself.

A Hero in Spite of Himself.
Passion sent Mallory into the I'M
equal fight with two armed and des-
perate outlaws. But reason had
planned the way. He had been study
ing the robber all the time, as if the
villain were a war-map, studying his
gestures, his way of turning, and how
be held the revolver. He had noted
that the man. as he frisked the pas
sengers, did not keep his finger on
the trigger, but on the guard.
Marjorie's little battle threw the
desperado off his balance a trifie; as
he recovered, Mallory struck him, and
swept him on over against the back
of a seat At the same instant, NAL
lory's right hand went like lightning
to the trigger guard, and gripped the
fingers in a wise of steel, while he
drove the mans elbow back against
his side. Mallory's left hand mean
while flung around his enemy's neck,
and gave him a spinning fall that sent
his left hand out for balance. 1t fell
across the back of the seat, and NAL
lory pinioned it with elbow and knee
before it could escape.
All in the same crowded moment,
his left knuckles jolted the mans chin
in the air, and SO bewildered him
that his muscles relaxed enough for
Mallory's right fingers to squirm their
way to the trigger, and aim the gun
at the other robber, and finally to get
entire control of it.
The thing had happened in such a
flash that the second outlaw could
hardly believe his eyes. The shrek
of the astounded passengers, and the
grunt of Mallory's prisoner, as he
crashed backward, woke him to the
need for action. He caught his other
gun from its holster, and made for a
double volley, but there was nothing
to aim at. Mallory was crouched in
the seat, and almost perfectly COW
cred by human shield.
Still, from force of habit and fool
hardy pluck, Bill aimed at Mallory's
right eyebrow, just abaft Jake's right
ear, and shouted his old motto:
Hands up! you'll

Mallory, and his victim, shuddering at

+ EVEN then the fellow stood nis
ground, and debated the issue, till
Mallory threw such ringing determine
ton into one last: Hands up, or by
God, I'll fire!" that he caved in, lifted
his fingers from the triggers, turned
the guns up, and slowly raised both
hands above his head.
A profound "Ah!" of relief soughed
through the car, and Mallory, still
keeping his eve Oh Bill, got down eau
tiously from the seat. The moment
he released Jake's left hand, it darted
to the holster where his second gun
was waiting. But before he could
clutch the butt of it, Mallory jabbed
the muzzle of his own revolver in the
mans back, and growled: Put 'em
up" And the robbers left hand
joined the right in air, while Mallory's
left hand lifted the revolver.
Mallory stood for moment, breath
ing hard and little incredulous at
his own swift, sweet triumph. Then
he made an effort to speak as il this
sort of thing We're quite common with
him, as if he overpowered a pair OF
outlaws every morning before break
fast, but his voice cracked as he said,
in drawing-room tone:
CDR Temple, would you mind re-
lieving that man OF those guns?"
DR.. Temple was so set up by this
distinction that he answered: Not by
"a"
"Walter!" Mrs. Temple checked
him, before he could utter the beau
tiful word, and DR.. Temple looked at
her almost reproachfully, as he
sighed: "Golly, should like to swear
just once more"
Then he reached up and disarmed
the man who had taken his wallet
and his wife's keepsakes.
American children breathe in this
desperate romance with their earliest
traditions, and DR.. Temple felt all his
boyhood zest surge back with a boys
tremendous rapture in deed Of der
ring-do. And now nothing could check
his swagger, as he said to Mallory:
What shall We do with these
damned sinners?"
He felt like apo,ogizing for the
clerical relapse into pulpitism, but
Mallory answered briskly:> WED bet
ter take them into the smoking room.
They scare the ladies'. But first, vii:
the conductor take those bags and
distribute the contents to their right
ful owners?"
The conductor was proud to act as
lieutenant to this lieutenant, and he
quickly relieved the robbers Of their
loOt-kits.
Mallory smiled Don't give any
body my things" and then he jabbed
his robber with one Of the revolvers,
and commanded: Forward, march,"
The little triumphal procession
moved off, with Bill in the lead, fol-
| lowed by DR.. Temple, looking like a
whole field battery, followed by Jake,
followed by Mallory, followed by the
porter and as many Of the other pas
sengers as could crowd into the smok-
irg room.
The rest went after those opulent
feed-bags.

he mad roreseen the wild rage that
would unseat his reason when he saw
the dirty hands of thieves laid rudely
on the sacred body of his beloved.
But his understanding had drilled
him to govern his impulses, to play
the coward when there was no hope
of successful battle, and to strike only
when the moment was ripe with per-
feet opportunity.
He had kept telling himself that
when the finger of one of these men
touched so much as Marjorie's hem,
he would be forced to fling himself
on the profane miscreant And he
kept telling himself that the moment
he did this, the other man would
calmly blow hole through him, and
drop him at Marjorie's feet, while the
other passengers shrank away in ter
ror.
He told himself that, while it might
be a fine impulse to leap to her de-
tense, it was a fool impulse to leap
off precipice and leave Marjorie
alone among strangers, with dead
man and a scandal as the only re-
wards for his impulse. He vowed that
he would hold himself in check, and
let the robbers take everything, leavi
ing him only the name of coward,
provided they left him also the power
to defend Marjorie better at another
time.
And now that he saw the clumsy
handed thugs rifling his sweetheart's
jewelry, he felt all that he had fore
seen, and his head fought almost in
vain against the white fire of his
heart. Between them he trembled
like a leaf. and the sweat globed on
his forehead.
The worst of 1t was the shivering
terror of Marjorie, and the pitiful eyes
she turned on him. But he clenched
his teeth and waited, thinking fierce
ly, watching, like lowering eagle, a
chance to swoop.
But the robbers kept glancing this
way and that, and one motion would
mean death. They themselves were
so overweight with their own ordeal
and it's immediate conclusion, that
they would have killed anybody. NAL
lory shifted his foot cautiously, and
instantly gun was jabbed into his
stomach, with snarl Don't you

who's moving?" Mallory answered,
with a poor imitation of a careless
laugh.
And now the man called Bill had
reached Mariorie's right hand. He
chortled: "Golly, look at the sinners"
But Jake, who had chosen Mar
jorie's left hand. roared:
Say, you cheated. All get is this
measly plain gold band"
"Oh, don't take that" Marjorie
gasped, clenching her hand.
Mallory's heart ached at the thought
of this final sacri'ege. He had the
license, and the minister at lart-and
now the fends were going to carry OF
the wedding ring. He controlled him
self with a desperate effort, and
stopped to plead: Say, old man, don't
take that. That's not fair"
"Shut up, both of you,' Jake
growled, and jabbed him again with
the gun.
He gave the ring a jerk, but Mar.
jorie, in the very face of the weapon,
would not let go. She struggled and
tugged, weeping and imploring: "Oh,
don't, don't take that! It's my wed
ding ring"
"Agh, what do I care!" the ruffian
snarled, and wrenched her finger SC
viciously that she gave little cry OF
pain.
That broke Mallory's heart. With
wild, believing, Damn you!" he
hurled himself at the man, with only
his bare hands for weapons.
