CHAPTER XXVII.
The Dog-on Dog Again.
As the conductor left the M1allorys
to their own devices, it rushed over
him anew what sacrilege had been at
tempted-a fool bride had asked him
to stop the Trans-American of all
trains!-to go shopping of all things!
He stormed into the smoking room
to open the safety valve of his wrath,
and found the porter just coming out
of the buffet cell with a tray, two hol
low-stemmed glasses and a bottle
swaddled in a napkin.
"Say, Ellsworth, what in - do
wants?-wants me to hold the Trans
American while-"
But the porter was in a flurry him
self. He was about to serve cham
pagne, and he cut the conductor short:
" 'Scuse me, boss, but they's a byv
in' couple in the stateroom forward
that is in a powerful hurry for this. I
can't talk to you now. I'll sey you
later." And he swaggered off, leav
ing the door of the buffet open. The
conductor paused to close it, glanced
in, started, stared, glared, roared:
"What's this! Well. I'll be-a dog
smuggled in here! [I'I break that
coon's head. Come out of there, you
miserable or'nary hound." He seized
the incredulous Snoozleums by the
scruff of his neck, growling, "It's you
for the baggage car ahead," and
dashed out with his prey, lust as Mal
lory, now getting new bearings on
MWarjorie's character, ' sppke across
the rampart of his Napoleonically
j folded arms:
"Well, you're a nice one!-making
violent love to a conductor before my
very eyes. A minute more and I
would have-"
She silenced him with a snap:
"Don't you speak to me! I bate you!
I hate all men. The more I know
men the more I like-" this reminded
her, and she asked anxiously: "Where
is Snoozleums?".
Mallory, impatient at the shift of
subject, snapped back: "Oh, I left him
in the buffet with the waiter. What I
want to know is how you dare to-"
"Was it a colored waiter?"
"Of course, But I'm not speaking
of-".
"But suppose he should bite him?"
"Oh. you can't hurt those nigger
waiters. I etart~ed. to say-"
"But I can't have Snoozioums bit
in; colored people. It might not agree
with om. Get him nt once."
Mallory trembled with suppressed
rage like an overloaded boIler, but he
gave up and growled: "Oh. Lord, all
right. I'll get him 'wheni I've tin
ished-"
"Go get him this minute. And bring
the poor darling back to his mother."
S"His mother! , Ye gods!" cried Mal
lory, wildly. He . turned' away and
dashed into the men's room with a
furious: "Where's that damned dog?'
The porer the porter just returning.
Th otrsmiled: "He's right in
beah, wir." and ppened the buffet door.
His eyes popped and his Jau astaged:
"Why, I let' him .here just & minute
ago."
"You left the window open, too,"
Mallory'observed. "Well, I guess flea
gone."
The porter was panic-stricken: "On.
SI'm tterrlble sorry, boss, I wouldn't
hav lost dat Gog for a foreine. IAt
you was to hit me with a axe I
Woul(l lt mind."
To his utter hefudiidleiimeint, Mallory
grinned ra1l winked at himI, and nIulr
inured: ''()h, that's all riýlit. l)n't
worry.''" And natually laid half a dol
lar in lila palr. Leaving Itho bhrl(c
lids betting over the starting eyes.
Malnllory pulled hir suisei inito a long
face and went back to Mlarjorie like I
an undertitker: ''.y love, prepare
yourself for had Inews.'
Mairj trio looked up, startled and ap- i
prehensrive: ' Snoozleums is 111. He
dit bite the darkey."
"Worse thani that-he--he--fell out
of the window.''
"Whon!" she shrieked, "in heaven's
Iuame-whenl?"
"lie was there just a minute ago,
the waiter says."
Marjorie went into instant hysterics,
wringing her hands and sobbing: "Oh,.
my darling, my poor child-stop the
train at once!"
She began to pound Mallory's
shoulders and shake him frantically.
lie hadl never seen her this way eith
er. I-e was getting his education in
advance. He tried to calm her with
inexpert words: "How can I stop the
train? Now, dearie, he was a nice
dog, but after all, he was only a dog."
She rounded on him like a panther:
"Only a dog! lie was worth a dozen
men like you. You find the conductor
at once, command him to stop this
train-and back up! I don't care if
he has to go back ten miles. tun,
tell him at once. Now, you run!"
Mallory stared at her as if she h'ad
gone Inad, but he set out to run some
where, anywhere. Marjorie :paced up
and down distractedly, tearing her
hair and moaning, "''Snooz!eums, Snoo
zhunms! My child. .My poor child!''

'rThe engineer, far ahead, could not
inuagin e a' hat unheard -ou crisis could
bring about such ii lad ignals. 'The
fireman yelled:
"I bet that crazy conductor is at
tacked with an elhilettic fit."
Iut there was no disputing the
command. The engine was reversed.,
the air brakes set, the sand run out
and every effort made to pull the
iron horse, as it were, back on Its
haunches.
The grinding, squealing, jolting,
shook the train like an earthquake.
The shrieking of the whistle froze the
blood like a woman's cry of "Mur
der!" in the night. The women among
the. passengers echoed the screams.
The men turned pale and braced
themselves for the shock of collision.
Some of them were mumbling pray
ers. Dr. Temple and Jimmie Welling
ton, with one idea in their dissimilar
souls, dashed from the smoking room
to go to their wives.
Ashton and Wedgewood, with no
one to care for but themselves, seized
windows and tried to tight them open.
At last they budged a sash and knelt
down to thrust their heads out.
"I don't see a beastly thing ahead,"
said Wedgewood, "except the heads
of other fools."
"We're slowing down though," said
Ashton, "she stops! We're safe.
Thank God!" And be collapsed into
a chair. Wedgewood collapsed ilto
another, gasping: "Whatevah are we
safe from, I wondah?"
The train-crew and various passen
gers descended and ran alongside the
,train asking questions. Panic gave
way to mystery. Even Dr. Temple
came back into the smoking room to
finish a precious cigar he had been at
work on. He was followed by Little
Jimmie, who had not quite reached
his wife when the stopping of the
train put an end to his excuse for
chivalry. He was regretfully mum
bling:
"It would have been such a good
shansh to shave my life's wife-I
mean my-I don't know what I mean."
He sank into a chair and ordered a
drink; then suddenly remembered his
vow, and with great heroism, rescind- i
ed the order.
Mallory, finding that the train was
checked just before he reached the
conductor, saw that official's bewil
dered wrath at the stoppage and had
a fearsome intuition that Marjorie
had somehow done the deed. He hur
ried back to the observation room,
where he found her charging up and
down, still- distraught. He paused at
a safe distance and madd:
"The train has stopped, my dear.
Somebody rang the beli."
"I guess somebody did!" Marjorie
answered, with a proud toss of the
head. "Where's the conductor?"
"f"Hl's looking for the fellow that
pulled the rope."
"You go tell him to back up -and
slowly, too."
."No, thank you!" said Mallory. He
was a brave young man, but he was
uot bearding the conductors of atop
ped expresses. Already the conduc
tor's voice was heard in the saoking
room, wgere he appeared with the
rush an@ roar of a Bashan bill.
"Well!" he bellowed, "which one of
you.guys pulled that rope?"
"It was. nobody here, sir," 14'. Tem
pip meekly explained. The conductor
transfized him with a baleful glare:
"I wouldii't believe a gambler on oath.
I bet you did it""
Ij assure you, sir," Wedgewood io
terposed, "he didn't touch it I was
heah."
The conductor waved him aside and
charged into the observatioih room,
ifollowOb by all the passengers no an
awe-struck rabble. Here too, the
conductor thrinered: "\Who pulled
that rop ?:Y Speak up oe5J btody"'
ralliry as about to '4tItiice him
self to Irve Marjorie, but she Erte the

rMarjorie tossed her head a little
higher, grew a little calmer: "What
do I care? I want you to back up."
The conductor was reduced to a
wet rag, a feeble echo: '[ack up
the train up?"
'Yes, back the train up," Marjorien
ancwered, resolutely, "and go slowly
till I tell you to stop."
The conductor stared at her a mo
ment, then whirled on Mallory: "Say, i
what in hell's the matter with your
wife?"
Mallory was saved from the prob
lem of answering by Marjorie's abrupt
change from a young 'T'sarina rebuk
ing a serf, to a terrified mother. She
flung out imploring pialms and with a
gusQi of tears pleaded: "Won't you
please back up? My darling child tell
off the train."
The conductor's rage fell away in
an Instant. "Your child fell off the

The conductor threw up his hands:
"\\'ell, don't you women beat-" He
studied Marjorie as i$ she were some
curious freak of nature. Suddenly an
Idea struck into his daze: "Say, what
kind of a dog was it?-a measly little
cheese-hound ?"
"He was a noble, beautiful soul
with wonderful eyes and adorable
ears."
The conductor was growing weak
er and weaker: "Well, don't worry. 1
got him. He's in the baggage car."
Mqsrjorie stared at him unbelieving
ly. The news seemed too gloriously
beautiful to be true. "He isn't dead
Snoozleums is not dead!" she cried,'
"he lives! He lives! You have saved
him." And once more she flung her
self upon the conductor. He tried to
bat her off like a gnat, and Mallory
came to his rescue by dragging her
away and shoving her into a chair.
But she saw only the noble conductor:
"Oh, you dear, good, kind angel. Get
him at once."
"He stays in the baggage car," the
conductor answered, firmly and as he
supposed, finally.
"But Snoozleums doesn't like bag
gage4 cars," Marjorie smiled. "He
won't ride in one."
"He'll ride in this one or I'll wring
his neck."
"You fiend in human flesh!" Mar
jorie shrank away from him in hor
ror, and he found courage to seize
the .bell rope and ,ank it viciously
with a sardonic: "Please, may I start
this train ?"
The whistle tooted faintly. The bell
began to hammer, the train to creak
and writhe and click. The conductor
pulled his cap down hard and start
ed forward. Marjorie seized his
sleeve: "Oh, I implke you, don't con
sign that poor sweet child to the hor
rid baggage car. if you have a human
heart in your breast, hear my pray
er."
The conductor surrendered uncon
ditionally: "Oh, Lord, all right, all
right. I'll lose my job, but if you'll
keep quiet, I'll bring him to you." And
he slunk out meekly, followed by the
passengers, who were sha4ing their
heads In wonderment at this most
amazing feat of this most amazing
bride.

The Cure.
Miss Fay Templeton, at a supper at
the Ritz-Carlton In New York given
lb honor of her return to'the stage,
praised the American business man.
"I have only one fault to find with
him," she said. "He works too hard.
Hence, of an evening, he is some.
times a little dull.
"But Intelligfint VIva can soon cure
their husbands of overworking. I
know a wife-she and her good man
are in Egypt now-who came down to
dinner one night in a somber black
robe.
"Her husband-a frightfully over
worked millionaire-looked at her cos
tume and exclatimed:
"'Why on earth, my love, are you
'wearing a dress like that? It's posi
tively half-mourning,'
"'Of course it's half mourning,' she
replied. 'When you come home from'
the ofilce. don't you always complain
that you're half deadt"
