He criticised the regular forces as Ill

the present laws for calling the volun-

Lack Of proper provisions for stan

Senator du Pont said. in conclusion:

very chivalrous man. I'm sure you

His curt indifference jolted Mar

and came back with: How long do
we stop at Ogden?'
Five minutes" very bluntly.
Marjorie poured maple syrup on her
tone, as she purred: This train of
yours is an awfully fast train, isn't
it?"
"Sort Of" said the conductor, with
just a trace OF thaw. What followed
made him hold his breath, for the
outrageous little hussy was actually
saying: The company must have a
great deal of confidence in you to en-
trust the lives and welfare of so many
people to your presence of mind and
courage"

the mans reserve was melting fast as
Marjorie went on with relentless
treacle: ---..--
Talk about soldiers and firemen

drawer man than any of those to be
a conductor-really."
We'll, it is kind of a responsible
job" The conductor swelled his chest
little at that. and Marjorie felt that
he was already hers. She hammered
the weak spot in his armor:
Responsible! | should say it is.
Mr.. Mallory is soldier, but soldiers
are such ferocious, destructive peo-
pie, while conductors save lives, md
If l We're only man l think it
would be my greatest ambition to be

The conductor told the truth when
he confessed: well, / never heard
it put just that way" Then he spoke
with little more pride, hoping TO in
crease the impression he felt he was
making: The main thing. OF course,
is TO get my train through On Time!"
This was a facer. He was going to
get his train through On Time just
to oblige Marjorie. She stammered:

twisted one OF the brass buttons on
his coat sleeve. and wheedled: Don't
you think you might hold the train
just a little tiny half hour?"
He was sorry, but he didn't see how
he could. Then she took his breath
away again, by asking. out OF a clear
sky: "Are you married."
