The family call me Babbles, be
cause I tell too many things and
have fluffy hair. I feel that I am a
blot on the family escutcueon; for
I've never done anything fine or no
ble; while Lucy Lee, my sister, went
to Smiths, and came home with her
notebooks full of wonderful state
ments. Omar Khayyam Is my Persian pus
sy tat.
Every year on Jan. 3 we start for
the City of Mexico. The main office
of the Randolph Explosive company
Is there. Father is president of the
company and goes there to look after
the business. Lucy Lee goes to look
after liltn. to put in his studs. 1 go
to look after Lucy Leo.
By Jan. !i we reached El Paso,
crossed the Rio Grande and had got
ten into Mexican territory. 1 looked
out upon vast stretches of alkaline
plains decorated with cacti, until I
felt like a largo prickly cactus, my
self, and turned to Lucy I.ce for
solace.
Now, Lucy Lee had a grand game,
which she invented for railroad Jour
neys. She took a largo sheet of pa
per and blocked it off into squares
corresponding to tho bertl s. Then
she would look at tho passengers
with half-closed eyes and write
things in the squares.
And so she wrote until every soul
in the Klectra was put into one of
the neat squares. Every soul bat
one.
'Lucy Lee," I murmured. "You
haven't put Lower 3 into bis square."
'Is there any one in Lower 3?"
'Well, rather," 1 replied. "You old
sneak."
Then Lucy Lee let her big eyes
rest studiously on Lower 3. "He
looks as If he might bo Marcus Aura
litis about to write out bis noble re
flections."
"Nonsense." I didn't know who
Marcus Aurelius was. "I think he has
done something desperate and is run
ning away from it." He had a looli
In his eyes that made me want to
go up and say, "Never mind, it will
all come o,it right."
The train was pulling Into the City
of Mexico. I took a final glance into
my bag. Something was missing,
called to Lucy Lee.
"Your nightgown?" said Lucy Lee
'Cassius must have carried it out
with the linen."
Cassius was called but knew noth
Ing.
"I suspect some one has stolen It.
Cassius lived on the gloomy super
stition thnt all men are black sheep
until proven white.
"Cassius Pullman," I cried. "That's
nonsense. It s been taken by mis
take." Then father came In to get brushed
and the thing was explained to him.
At such times It was not necessary
to look him up In Dunn's agency. The
explosive business was written In the
blue fire of bis eye and in his blaz
ing voice.
"Cassius, you will please find Miss
Opened his valise.
Randolph's wearing apparel at once."
Marcus Aurelius jumped to his feet,
opened his valise, tumbled his'thinM
about and produced a roll of muslin.
It was mine. 1 seized it.
"Sir," blazed my father, "what Is
the meaning of this."
"It means," said Marcus Aurelim,
"that there has been an absurd mis
take. I'm not exactly in the souvenir
business."
Then Cassius put In, "I put Uiwer
3's things in your daughter's seat
when I was making his berth."
"And In the transfer I got more
than belongs to me."
The car roared loud and merrily as
only a car of gentlemen rovers can.
El Which A
Was Never Told O
Thlnjfi are free and easy south of
the Kio Grande.
"City of Mexico," called the con
ductor. Father hustled his brood Into tho
carrlnse. and we spun rapidly toward
the It ni bble.
And so the Incident was closed. But
It was reopened with n startling
stroke. That tiiuht. rolled up In the
gown, 1 found $mi.nou. It was In tho
new one thousand-dollar Mils as fresh
as from a bank.
Into what black mystery had I been
woven?
The next morning I was up bright
and early.' As Lucy Lee and father
were sluggards, I tucked Omar under
my arm and we started over to tho
cafe at the Janlia. In the initio of
the lintel I bought a great bunch of
roses and a basket of strawberries.
As we entered the cafe, I saw Mar
cus Aurelius eating his breakfast. At
the same moment two men, who en
tered behind me, were speaking in
Spanish.
'The telegram said: 'Brown eyes,
smooth shaven, six feet.' There's our
man."
With the tail of my eye 1 saw dark
blue uniforms and buttons stamped
with the emblem of the republic. Tho
arm of the law was about to stretch
forth and pluck whom!
I stepped gayly over to the table
"The police are behind. Don't turn."
win-re the man with the brown eyes
sat.
".Marcus, dear," niul I laid my hand
hciivily and dug my seal ring into his
kniiekles. "Hurt are strawberries for
our breakfast." I took the sent lacing
him. Then I said, scarcely moving
my lips: "The police are behind.
Don't turn."
Two brown faces stared flown at
us. stolidly as Atec gods.
' I'm don us. Senorita. but this gen
tleman " and one of them laid his
hand on Marcus.
"Senora. if you please and this
gentleman is my husband." If I had
had a thousand husbands. I could not
have been haughtier.
"We're wrong. Terrazas," said tho
shorter man. "The telegram did say
he whs alone."
The man opposite me sat and
looked in amazement at me. "Why
have you done this? Of course, you've
read about me In the Morning Her
ald?" "No, I haven't," I replied, "and I
don't want to."
"lint I do want to know to whom
the money belongs."
"It belongs to the First Kntltma!
Bank of Kansas City. 1 was cashier
there." Then he smiled. "Hut it got
Into your bundle by mistake."
"1 didn't know just bow to receive
It, unless you meant it for alimony."
"Alimony!" be stared.
"Do you like my looks?" 1 said.
"My color scheme. I hope you do, lor
I'm your wife."
I told him the marriage law of Ihn
hot countries and bow be bad beeu
entangled.
lie stared.
"This Is startling." Hut 1 could sc
that he was not ninth frightened. "I
had expected to marry another girl
down lu re. She was to have come by
Eagle l'ass, but this came instead."
He handed me a telegram, which
read: "Decided not to come. Risk too
preat. Coed luc k to you. Adelaide."
"The money was for her," he said
quietly.
The business energy of my father
descended In an enormous mantle-
upon my shoulders. "You must get
out of the city at once. The train
for Vera Cnu starts in half an hour.
We'll go to the tic ket ofllco at finco.
At Vera Cruz you can get your steam
er for Central America."
When 1 went back to the cafe
father and I.ucy I .en were eating
breakfast. Fattier was devouring hU
Herald. "Another poor fellow gonn
astray; and the First National Hank
of Kansas City is tint IIoo.imio. The
paper says he's here In Mexico."
"Oh, Hubbies," f ried I.ucy I.ce. 'It
must have been that bad looking man
that got off at Chihuahua."
I suid nothing; ami still it is a fam
ily legend, that 1 cun t keep a thing
over thirty seconds.
That afternoon tho Wells Farpo
Express company forwarded to tho
First National Hank of Kansas City
a package. It contained $1"I,000.
