The one thing Mallory was begin-- ning to learn about Marjorie was that she would never take the point. or view he expected, and never proceed along the lines of his logic. She had grown furious at him for what he could not help. She had told him that she would marry him out of spite. She had commanded him to pursue and apprehend the flying per- son. He failed and returned crest- tsllen and wondering what new form her rage would take, And, lo and behold, when she saw 'hlm so downcast and helpless, she ‘ rushed to him with caresses, cuddled fl his broad shoulders against her ibresst and smothered him.

Soon af‘ie' leaving Ogden. the train ; entered mm: the great bridge across the Great Swlr Lake. The other pas-‘j senzers were staring at the enormous engineering axiaslerrtlece and the con-4 ductor was pointing out that, in or- der to save forty miles and the cross- ilfg of two mountain chains, the rail- " road had devoted {our years of labor and millions: oi’ dollars to stretching it thirty-mile bridge across this inland ocean. ' But Marjorie and Mallory never no- itlced it. They were absorbed in ex- lpioring each other's souls. and they had safely bridged the Great Salt Lake which the first big bitter jeal- l I l 5 l 3 l l 9 I t1 Mr- and ousy spreads across every matnmoâ€"p nial route. They were undisturbed in their voy- - age, for all the other passengers had' their noses flattened against the win-t dow panes of the other carsâ€"ail ex-‘ cept one couple, gazing each at each through time-wrinkled eyelids touched} with the magic of a tardy honeymoon. For all that Anne. and ira knew,. the Great Sait Lake was a moon- swept lagoon, and the arid mountains ‘ of Nevada which the train went scaio; lng, were the very hillsides of Ar- crdia. But the other passengers soon came . trooping hack into the observation room. Ira had told them nothing. or, Maliory’s confession. In the first! place, he was a man who had iearned‘, to keep a secret, and in the second2 place, he had forgotten that such per-‘ 1 sons as Maliory or b.b Marjorie exist-l ed. All the worm was summed up, in‘ the fearsomuly happy little spiuster who had mored up into his section- the section which had begun its ca- ieer draped in satin ribbons unwit- tingly prophetic. The comimmion of Mallory and Marjorie under the henison of recon- ciliation was invaded by the Jokes 0! the other passengers, unconsciously ironic. Dr. Temyfe'chafi'ed them amiably: “You two mu have to take a back seat now. We've got a new bridal couple to amuse us.” And Mrs. Temple welcomed them' with: “You're only old married folks, like us." . The Mallorys were used to the mlsU understanding. But the misplaced witticisms gave them reassurance that their secret was sale yet a little while. At their dinner-table, however, and in the long evening that followed they were haunted'by the fact that this was their last night on the train, and no minister to be expected. And now once more the Mallorys regained the star roles in the esteem or the audience, for once more they quarreled at goodnight-kissing time. Once more they required two sec- tions, while Anne Gattle's‘ berth was not even made up. It remained empty, like a deserted nest. for its occupant had flown south. Fresh Trouble Dally. The following morning the daylight creeping into section number one found Ira and Anne staring at each other. Ira was tousled and Anne was unkempt, but her blush still gave her cheek at least an Indian summer glow. A I. After a violent effort to reach the space between her shoulder blades, she was compelled to appeal to her new master to act as her new maid. “011, Mr. Lathrop,” she stammered â€"â€"“Ira," she corrected, “won’t you please hook me up?" she pleaded. Ira beamed with a second child- hood boylshness: “I’ll do my best, my mm. mmnm-tnotsums. it's the first Ira beamed with a seco hood boyishness: “I’ll do my little ootsum-tootsums, it's time I ever tried it." “Oh, I’m so glad," Anne engueu, "it’s the first time I ever was hooked reach her lipq to kiss her. He almost broke her neck and bumped his head so hard that instead of saying, as he intended, “My darling,” he said, "on, hell!” “v-. v “Ira!” she gasped. But he, with all the proprietorship he had assumed, answered cheerily: “You’ll have to get used to it, ducky darling. I could never learn not to swear." He proved the fact again and again by the re- marks he addressed to certaln refrac- tory hooks. He apologlzed, but she ..A__1.._. knu- felt more self. “0h Ira.’ ” she said. to have you see me 1 morning." “Well, you haven't meâ€"I'm nut shaved-" Oilt‘s 3 cos; though," she said, vanished through the cur THE DUh-‘s‘ CHRONICLE CHAPTER xxxm. like apblogizing for her- ‘90 glad,” Anne signed, haven't got anything on , “I'm so ashamed Ike thisâ€"the first. to tell me that," we man man invented «orgâ€"um tn. other angel that invented locks."

Ashton was shaving when In swu- gered into the men's room. Without pausing to note whom he won od- dressing, Ashton sang out: “Good morning. Did you root won?" “What?"

And his wife choked on her tea at ithe stateroom from which he had 'gbeen banished again at the Nevada lstate-line. He knocked cautiously. lFrom within came an anxious voice: ‘ “Who’s there?" _ “Whom did you expect?" ! Mrs. Fosdick popped her head out i like a Jill in the box. “Qh. it's you. '1 Arthur.

About the same time, the man who was still her husband according t"- the law, rolled out of berth number two. There was an amazing clariiy to his vision.

His enlightenment came when Mallory snapped the towel from his hands and glared into his face with an the righteous wrath of a man hearing his dmnestic affairs pub- licly discussed. “Were you ‘alluding to me. Mr. Welllngton?" he demanded, hotly. Little .llntntlo almost perished wlth apoplexy: “You, you?" he mumbled. “Why, of course not. You're not the only brldegt'onm on the traln." Mallory tossed him the towel again: “You meant Mr. Lathrop then?" “Me! Not much!” roared the ln- dlgnant Latino; -. Mallory retmned to Wellington with a fiercer: "W hom, then?’ ' Mallory returned to Wellington with a flercet‘: “Whom, then?" He was in a dangerous mood, and Ashton came to the recue: “Oh, don’ti mind Wellington. He’s not sober yet." This inspired suggestion came like a liieobuoy to the bard-pressed Well- ington.
