The porter shook his head sadly: “\othin’ but. 801" drinks I in AUt,ah gemmen." ; groan went up from the club- ‘ members, and Lathrop groaned loud est of all: He regarded with contemptuous ewe the petty cause of so great an event as the stopping of the Trans- Arnerican. He expected to see Mar- jorie receive the returned prodigal with wild rapture, but she didn’t even smile when he said: “Here's your powder-putt." She just took Snoozieums on her lap, and, looking up with wet eyes and a sad smile, murmured: The Woman-Hater's Relapu. The observation room was an lone- ly as a deserted battlefield and Mar- jorie as doleful as a wounded sol- dier left behind, and perishlng of thirst. when the conductor came back with Snoozleums in his arms. “Thank you very much. You’re the nicest conductor I ever met. If you ever want another position, I'll see that. my father gets you one.” It was like offering the kaiser a new job, but the conductor swallowed the insult and sought to repay it with irony. “Thanks. And if you ever want to run this road for a couple of weeks, just let me know." Marjorie nodded appreciatively and said: ‘I will. You’ re very kind ” And that completed the rout of that (enductor.

For just as Mallory moped into the smokingroom at one door, Ira Lath- rop swept in at the other, his face rubicund with embarrassment and ecstasy. He had donned an old frock coat with creases like ruts from long exile in his trunk. But he was feel- ing like an heir apparent; and he startled everybody by his jovial hail: “Well, boi'sâ€"er-gentlemen ~â€" the drinks are on me. Walter, take the orders."

Here‘s howt” and he raised his giuss, but Mallory hauled it down to demand: “How? that's what I want to know. How are you going to get married on this parson- Iess express. Have you got a little minister in your suitcase?" Ira beamed with added pride as he explained: ”Well, you see, when I used to court Anne I had a rivalâ€"Charlie Sel- by his name was.

He passed lt over, and as Mallory read it a look of hope spread across his face. But Ira was saying: “We’re going to have the wedding obsequles right here in this car. You’re all lnvlted. Wlll you come?" "D-did he accept?" Mallory asked. excitedly, “is be coming?" There was a general yell of accept- ance and Ashton began to sing, “There Was I Waiting at the Church." Then he led a sort of Indian war- dance round the next victim of the matrimonial stake. At the end of the hullaballoo all the men charged their glasses, and drained them with an up- roarious “How ! ” Poor Dr. Temple had taken luxuri- ous delight in the success of his dis- guise and in the prospect of watch- ing some other clergyman working while he rented. He joined the dance as gaily, if not as gracefully, as any of the rest, and in a final triumph of recklessness, he tossed of! a bumper of straight whisky, Instantly his “How!” changed to “Wow!” and then his throat clamped fast with a terrific spasm that flung the tears from his eyes. He bent and writhed in a silent paroxysm till he was pounded and shaken back to life and water poured down his throat to reopen a passage. The others thought he had merely choked and made no comment other than sympathy. They could not have dreamed that. the old "physician" was as ignorapt of the taste as of the vigor 0! pure spirits. Ai’ter a riot ot‘ handshaking and good wishet-v, Ira was permitted to es- cape with his life. Mallory followed him to the vestibule, when he caught him by the sleeve with an anxious: “Excuse me." “Well, my boy-” “Your ministerâ€"after you get through with himâ€"may I use him?" "Méy youâ€"what? Why do you want a minister?" “To get. married." . “Again? Good Lord, are you a Mor- mon ?” “Me a Mormon!” “Then what do you want with an extra wife? It's against the luv- even in Utah." ' “You don't understand.” “My boy, one of us is disgraceful]! drunk." “Well, I'm not," said Mallory, and then after a fierce inner debate. he decided to take Lathrop into his con- fidence. The words came hard after so long a duplicity, but at last they were out: "Mr. Lathrop, I'm not really mar- ried to my wife."

' Then he turned and ran to Mar- jorie with the good news. He had quite forgotten their epoch-making separation. And she was so glad to see him smiling at her again that she fergot it, too.

So she pouted: “But you won’t want me for a bride now. I'm such a fright.” lie took the bait, nook and all: “1 “Won’t she?” said Mallory, with Just. a trace of dublety. Mallory laughed: “After three days' disappearance. I shouldn't be aur- prised.” But Marjorie tried to look very matronly: “Send a night letter in the day time! No, indeed, we must be- gin to economize." Then Marjorie grew serious with a new idea: “I wonder if mamma and papa have missed me yet?" “You shall never have cause for jealousy, my own.” But fate was not finished with the 'nltlatlon of the unfortunate pair, and glready new trouble was strolling In their direction. “Utah begins with You,” he saw-â€" and rather liked his wit, listened 101 some recognition, and rose to get it but she waved him away. “Don’t bother me, hone . ‘- ‘ ' .0.

HIS BLADDER WAS ' TERRIBLY INFLAMED A sad occurrence happenvd «1 the courthouse in Brampton «on Saturday last. when Mrs. Oshm‘vw. of the 3rd line east, Chlnguacmwy. dropped dead while giving v\"â€" (lence in 'a case in which her hus- band was concerned. A dispute arose with a neighbor, named lil- lor, with the result that Eller and Osborne met on the roadside and Eller attacked the latter with a hatchet, cutting off part of his thumb, and using him up in gen- 9ral. The case came up before the magistrate on Saturday and Mrs. Osborne had just given her ovi- dence and was about to be cross- oxamined when she fell seemingly in a faint, but was dead in five minutes. Mr. and Mrs. Osborne came from the old country five years ago, and bought property on the 3rd line. Mr. Osborne works in the Williams Shoe (‘0. factory, and walks to his work every day. The deceased lady was of an estimable character and leaves two children, both attend- ing the Brampton High school.â€" Bhelburne Free Press. Poor appetite is a sure sign of impaired digestion.
