CHAPTER w.


A Mouse and a Mountain.
All the while the foiled elopers
were eloping. the San Francisco
sleeper was filling up. 1t had been
the receptacle of assorted lots of hu.
manity tumbling into 1t from all di.
rections, with all sorts of souls, bodies
and destinations.
The porter received each with that
expert eye of his. His car was his
laboratory. A railroad journey is a
sort of test-tube of character; strange
elements meet under strange condi-
tiOns and make strange combinations.
The porter could never foresee the
ingredients of any trip, nor their ac-
,tions and reactions.
He had no sooner established Mr..
WedgewoOd of London and Mr.. Ira
Lathrop of Chicago, In comparative
repose, than his car was invaded by
q woman who flung herself into the
6rst seat. She was flushed with rum
ming, and breathing hard. but she
managed one gasp of relief:
rhatk goodness, made it In
time
The mere sound of a womans voice
In the seat back OF him was enough
to disperse Ira Lathrop. With not SC
much as glance backward to see
what manner Of woman 1t might be,
he jammed bis contract into his pock.
ct. seized his newspapers and retreat
ed to the farthest end OF the car.
bouncing down into berth number one,
like sullen swapping turtle.
Miss Anne Gatties modest and
homely valise had been brought
aboard by leisureiy station usher,
who set 1t down and waited with q
speaking palm outstretched. She had
her tickets In her hand. but trans
ferred them to her teeth while she
searched for money in a handbag old

That's right up this way"
Let me sit here till get my
breath" she pleaded. II ran so hard
to catch the train
well, you caught 1t good ana
strong"
"I'm so glad. HOW soon oo We
start?"
IN about half houah.
Really? Well, better half an hour
too soon than half a minute too late.
She said 1t with such a copy-book
primness that the porter set her down
as a school-teacher. 1t was not bad
guess. She was missionary with
a pupil.like shyness ne volunteered:
"Yo' berth Is all ready whenever
YOU wishes to go to bald He caught
her swift blush and amended 1t to
"tO retiah."
"Retire?--before all the car" said

lovers lane, the racine ocean a gar
den lake. and the Philippines Q chain
of Fortunate Isles decreed especially
for their Eden. And then the tam.
cab encountered lamppost. They
thought they had menely wrecked q
motor caf--and 10. they had wrecked
a Paradise.
The railroad ceased to be lovers
lane and became lingering torment;
and the Philippines q Dry Tortugas
OF exile.
Mallory realized for the finst time
what heavy burdens he had taken on
with his shoulder straps: what dis
NAL life OF restrictions and hardsbips
an ofacsF,s Life IL bouad to be. It was
hard to obey the souiiess machinery
Of discipline. to be q krass-buttone4
slave. He feit all the hot, quick re-
sentiment that turns Q faithful soldier
into q desefteT. But II takes time to
evolve Q deserter. and Mallory had
only twenty minHtes. The handouts
and legirons pf discipline hohbled
him. He was only . little cog IN a
great clock. and the other wheels
were impinging on him and reyoly.
Ing In spite of himself.
In the closepacked seats where
they were jostled and stared at, the

FIGHT or DUCK AND OYSTER
BivaIve Conquered by cIinglng TO the
Fowls Bill Until the Bird was
Drowned.

Not long ago there occurred lively
contest in Maryland waters between
a duck and an oyster. The oyster
was victorious, but it was a fatal vic
tory, for when the bivalye had killed
the duck there appeared a man VINO
killed the oyster and ate them. both
The combat between the duck and
the oyster was of the rough ard ts1In<
Bile kind. The duck was large and
full grown. It was Of the diving spe.
cies frequently seen in those waters.
Now " hen the oyster feeds it opens
its shell SO wide that the fun oyster
itself is plainly visible. The sight OF
such a norsel was too great d tempta-
ton for. the duck. He made a head
long pl nnge, inserting his bill between
the oy ster's open shell.
Like flash the shell closed on the
ducks beak. Then came struggle
for life. The oyster, which was quite
q large one, was dragged from its bed,
with three smaller bivalves clingfng
to II, the cluster being heavy enough
to ke ep the ducks head under water.
In this way the bird drowned, Its
buoE 4ncy was sufficient to float il
with the oysters, and thus it drifted
near the dock, where it was captured.
Whtaa taken from the water the oys-
ter was clinging to the birds beak
with such force that considerable diff
dc1,li:y was had in breaking its. hold.
