Folled Yet AGAIN.

Foiled Yet Again.
Mallory had fed from the scene at
the first hum OF the minister's words.
His fate was like alkali on his palate.
For twelve hundred miles he had ran.
sacked the world for minister. When
one dropped on the train like mama
through the roof. even this miracle
had to be checkmated by q perverse
miracle that sent to the train an early
infatuation. a silly affair that he him.

jorie would never marry him. He did
not blame her. He blamed fate.
He was In solitude In the smoking
room. The place reeked with drifting
tobacco smoke and the malodor OF
cigar stubs and cigarette ends. His
plans were as useless and odious as
cigarette ends. He dropped into a
chair. his elbows on his knees and
his head In his hands-Napoleon on
st. Helena.
And then. suddenly he heard Mar.
jorie's voice. He turned and saw her
hesitating In the doorway. He rose
to welcome her. but the smile died

He swallowed hard and waived the
point: well. anyway. you ought to

Then she took bis breath away by
answering: "Oh. I'm going to marry
you. never fear"
"You are," he cried. with a rush OF
returning hope. "Oh. knew you
