lea. She determined to do her share
toward the education of her native
country, and chose, for her topic, to.
bacco as feminine accomplishment.
She had grown Indifferent to stares
and audible comment and she could
fight protesting head waiter to a
standstill. If monuments and tablets
are ever erected to the first woman
who smoked publicly in this place or
that, Mrs. Jimmie Wellington will be
variously remembered and occupy O
large place in historical record.
The narrow confines of the women's
room on the sleeping car soon palled
On her, and she objected to smoking
there except when she felt the added
luxury of Eeeping some other woman
outside-fuming, but not smoking.
And now MS. Jimmie had staked out
a Claim on the observation platform.

c1gar-smoke trailing after the train.
In Wyoming three cowboys followed
her for a mile, yipping and bowling
their compliments.
Feeling the smoke mood coming on.
Mrs. Wellington invited Mrs. Temple
to smoke with her, but Mrs. Temple
felt reminiscent qualm at the very
thought, SO Mrs. Jimmie sauntered
out alone, to the great surprise of
Ira Lathrop, whose motto was, 1.-TWO

The prim little missionary toppled
into the nearest chair: "Oh, Ira, what

"She can't Think" Ira grumbled.
"In little while she'll know"
Don't you think we'd better tell
everybody before they begin to talk?"
Ira glowed with pride at the

as he went about gathering up the
CASTOR footwear Of his large family

CHAPTER XXI.
Matrimony to and Fro.

And the next morning they were In
Wyoming-wen toward the center Of
that State. They had left behind the
tame levels and the truly rural towns
and they were among foothills and
mountains, passing cities of wildly
picturesque repute, like Cheyenne, and
Laramie. Bowie, and Medicine Bow,
and Bitter Creek, whose very names
imply literature and war whoops, cow
boy yelps, barking revolvers, another
redskin biting the dust, cattle stam-
pedes, town-paintings, humorous
lyrchings and bronchos in epileptic
frenzy.
But the talk Of this train was con.
cerned with none of these wonders,
which the novelists and the maga.
xinist have perhaps trifle overpub-
lished. The talk Of this train was con.
cerned with the eighth wonder Of the
world, semi-detached bridal couple.
Mrs. Whitcomb was eager enough to
voice the sentiment of the whole pop
ulace. when she looked up from her
novel in the observation room and,
nudging Mrs. Temple, drawled: "By
the way, my dear, has that bridal
couple made up it's second nights
quarrel YETI"
"The Mallorys?'S Mrs. Temple
flushed as she answered, mercifully.
"Oh, yes, they were very friendly
again this morning."
Mrs. Whitcomb's countenance was
cynical: my dear, I've been married
twice and ! ought to know something
about honeymoons, but this honeyless
honeymoon" she cast up her eyes
and her hands in despair.
The women were so concerned about
Mr.. and Mrs" Mallory, that they
hardly noticed the uncomfortable
plight Of the Wellingtons, or the curl
GUS behavior of the lady from the
stateroom who seemed to be afraid Of
something and never spoke to any.
body. The strange behavior of Anne
Cattle and Ira Lathrop even escaped
much comment, though they were for
ever being stumbled on when anybody
went out to the observation platform.
When they were dislodged from there,
they sat playing checkers and talking
very little. but making eyes at one an
other and signing like furnaces.
They had evidently concocted some
secret Of their own, for Ira, looking
at his watch, murmured sentimentally
to Anne: "Only a few hours more,
Annie"
And Anne turned geranium-color
and dropped a handful Of checkers. II
