Foiled Vet 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 perverse
miracle that sent to the train an early
infatuation. a silly affair that he hin.
self called puppy-love. And now Mar.
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, bis elbows on his knees and
his head in his hands-Napoleon on
st. Helena.
And then. suddenly he heard Mar
tories voice. He turned and saw her
hesitating in the doorway. He rose
to welcome her, but the smile died
on his lips at her chilly speech:
May I have a word with you. sir?''
"Of course. The airs rather thick
In here" he apologized.
Just wait!" she said, Ominously,
and stalked in like a young Zenobia.
He put out an appealing hand: Nov,
Marjorie, listen to reason. or course
I know you won't marry me now"
"Oh, you know that. do you?" she
said, with a squared Jaw.
But. really. you ought to marry
me-not merely because ! love you
and you're the only girl ever" He
stopped short and she almost smiled
as she taunted him: 90 OH dare
you to say it."
He swallowed hard and waived the
point: well. anyway. you ought to
marry me-for your own sake"
Then she took his breath away by
answering: "Oh. I'm going to marry
you, never fear"
You are." he cried. with rush OF
returning hope. "Oh, l knew you
loved me-"
She pushed his encircling arms
aside: II don't love you, and that's
why I'm going to marry you"
But | don't understand"
"Of course not," she sneered, as II
she were a thousand years old. you're
only a man-and very young man"
You've ceased to love me-" he pro-

at Mallory with laugh:

He nodded dismally. His own fu.

Ira Lathrop. Mrs. Wellington was
moving about distributing kazoos and
Mrs. Temple had an armload OF old
shoes, some OF which had thumped
Mallory on an occasion which
seemed SO ancient as to be almost
prehistoric.
Fosdick was bowling to the porter
to get some rice. quick!
"How many portions does you ap-

"All you've got"

Hush! I'm on my vacation"
The train was already coming into
Ogden. Noises were multiplying and
from the increase Of passing objects.
the speed seemed to be taking on a
spurt. The bell was clamoring like
. wedding chime in a steeple.
Mrs. Wellington was on chair fast
eniug a ribbon round one OF the
lamps, and Mrs. Whitcomb was on an
other chair braiding the bell rope with
wtthered orange branches. when Ash.

"WeIl play EN- BOTH" said DR.. Tem-

Mrs, Fosdick murmured to her
spouse: The old Justice OF the Peace

luscious-eyed looks. and a whisper:
"But he gave US each other"
Nov and them" she pouted.
"But where are the bride and

Ashton, and he beat time while some
of the guests kazooed at Mendels-

the narrow corridor and stood shame

The train jolted to a dead stop. The
conductor called into the car: "Og.

body stood watching and waiting.
Ira. seeing Mallory, edged close and
whispered: "stand by to catch the
minister on the rebound"
But Mallory turned away. What

He had always found that when ira

The ritual began with the pleasant
murmur OF the preachers voice. and
the passengers crowded round In q
solemn calm, which was suddenly vio
lated by a loud yelp Of laughter from
Wedgewood. who omitted gunaw after
guffaw and bent double and opened
out again. like an agttated umbrella.
The wedding-guests turned on him
visages Of horror. and Kissed silence
at him. Ashton seized him. SHOOK

The Englishman shook like boy

You'll get me-but not for long.
And one other thing. want you to

Mallory surrendered completely
Anything to get Marjorie safely into

And while he stared in helpless awe
at the cynic and termagant that

the conductors voice at the rear door
