CHAPTER XXI.
Fooled Yet AGAIN.


Mallory had fed from the scene at
the first hum OF the ministers words
His fate was like alkali on his palate
For twelve hundred miles he had ran
sacked the world for a minister. When
one dropped on the train like mama
through the roof, even this miracle
had TO be checkmated by a perverse
miracle that sent to the train an early
infatuation, a silly affair that he him
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, 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
on his lips at her chilly speech:
May have a word with you, sir?'
"Of course. The airs rather thick
in here" he apologized.
Just watt" she said, ominously.
and stalked in like a young Zenobia.
He put out an appealing hand Now.

me-not merely because ! love you

stopped short and she almost smiled
as she taunted him: Go on dare
you TO say IT,"
He swallowed hard and waived the
point: We'll. anyway. you ought 10
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 a rush OF
returning hope. oh, knew you

Made Daddy Gasp.

A certain small Chicago laddie is
quick.witted as initiative, and so given
10 considering himself as quite an
adult in comparison with his baby
brother, that he now and then talks
and acts in manner that might by
the uncomprehending be judged i'm
pertinent. Not long since at the fam
lily table the boy attempted To relate
a recent experience. His father. who
was talking, paid no attention, and
the child's anger got the better OF
his politeness. Raising his voice
shrilly and speaking with an absurdly
unconscious resemblance to his IA.
TIERS tone and manner under similar
circumstances. he demanded:
Papa, will you kindly close your
little trap for just one moment while

use had he now for ministers! His
plans were shattered ruins.
The porter came flying in with two
large bowls OF rice. and shouting.
Here comes the 'possum-er-pos-
SON" Seeing Marjorie, he said:
Shall perambulate Mista Snoozle-
ums?"
She handed the porter her only
friend and he hurried out, as a lean
and professionally sad ascetic hur-
ried in. He did not recognize his
boyish enemy in the grayhaired, red
faced giant that greeted him, but he
knew that voice and its gloating
irony:
Hello, Charlie"
He had always found that when Ira
grinned and was cordial, some trouble
was in store FOR him. He wondered
what rock Ira held behind his back
now, but he forced an uneasy cor
diality: And is this you, Ira? Well,
we'll! 1t is yeahs since last We met.
And you're just getting married. Is
this the first time, Ira?"
First offense. Charlie"
The levity shocked Selby, but a
greater shock was in store, for when
he inquired: And who is the-er-
happy-bride?" the triumphant Lath-
rop snickered: 81 believe you used 10
know her. Anne Cattle"
This was the rock behind Ira's back,
and Selby took it with vince: Not
my old"
The same. Anne, you remember,
Charlie"
"Oh, yes,' said Anne, How do you
do, Chaslie?" And she put out shy
hand which he took with one still
shyer. He was so unsettled that he
stammered: We'll, we'll, ] had always
hoped TO marry you, Anne, but not
just this way"
Lathrop cut him short with a sharp:
Better get busy-before the train
starts. And I'll pay you in advance
before you set of the fireworks"
The fippancy panied Rev. Charles,
but he was resuscitated by one
glance at the bill that Ira thrust into
his palm. If a mans gratitude for
his wife is measured by the size OF
the fee he hands the enabling par
son, Ira was madly in love with Anne.
Rev Charles had a reminiscent sus-
picion that II was probably a counter
felt, but for once he did Ira an in
justice.
The minister was in such tiutter
hnNhnnd
gaining so much money all at once
and from performing the marriage on
a train, that he made numerous err
rors in the ceremony, but nobody no.
ticed them, and the spirit, If not the
letter of the occasion, was there and
the contract was doubtless legal
enough.
The ritual began with the pleasant
murmur of the preachers voice, and
the passengers crowded round in a
solemn calm, which was suddenly vio-
lated by loud yelp of laughter from
Wedgewood, who omitted guffaw after
guffaw and bent double and opened
out again, like an agitated umbrella.
The wedding-guests turned on him
visages of horror, and Kissed silence
az him. Ashton seized him, shook
him, and muttered:
What the-whats the matter with
you?"
The Englishman shook like a boy
having a spasm of gfggles at a fu-
neral, and blurted out the explana-
ton:
That story about the Bridegroom
| just saw the po!nt!"
Ashton closed his Jaw by brute
force and watched over him through
the rest of the festivity.

A Wedding on Wheels.


Tho commotion of the matrimony-
mad women brought the men troop

there was much circumstance OF dec
Grating the scene with white satin
ribbons, a trifie crumpled and dim OF
uster. Mrs. Whitcomb waved them
nj Mallory with a laugh:
Recognize these?"
He nodded dismally. His own fu-
nernl baked meats were coldly fur
r!shing forth wedding breakfast for
Ira Lathrop. Mrs Wellington was
moving about distributing kazoos and
Mrs Temple had an armload OF old
Fhoes. some of which had thumped
Mallory on an occasion which
seemed so ancient as 10 be almost
prehistoric.
Fosdick was bowling to the porter
to get some rice. quick.
How many portions does you ap-
proximate?'
All you've got"
Boiled or fried?"
ANY old way" The porter ran
forward to the dining-car for the am
munition
Mrs. Temple whispered TO her hus-
hand. TOO bad you're not officiating,
Walter" But he cautioned silence:
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
spurt. The bell was clamoring like
a wedding chime in a steeple.
Mrs. Wellington was on chair fast
ening a ribbon round one OF the
lamps. and Mrs. Whitcomb was on an
other chair braiding the bell rope with
wlthered orange branches, when Ash
ton. with kazoo all ready, called out;
What tune shall We play?'

Wellington glared across az her.

"Oh, no, it isn't. and II II is, how do
know I'm TO be your last love? No,
sir, when I've divorced you, you can
go back TO your first love and so

You'll get me-but not for long.
And one other thing. want you 10

Take Ii away! Do you promise?'
Mallory surrendered completely.
Anything to get Marjorie safely into
his arms: Il promise anything, II
you'll really marry me-"
"Oh, III marry you, sir, but not
really"
And while he stared in helpless awe
at the cynic and termagant that
jealousy had metamorphosed this tim

the conductors voice at the rear door
of the car: Hurry up-we've got &c

They heard Lathrop's protest:
