He remembeired how Indignantly
Mr. Wedgewood had refused to show

his number, bow he had leased the
porter's services as a sort of private
nurse, and had paid no advance roy-.

"Too bad, but I'm 'bleeged to ask

•"This is an outrage!"
"Yftssab, but I Just nachelly got to

Wedgewood gathered himself to-

under his breath At length he pro-
duced the ticket, and thrust It at the

down the aisle, plounced into berth

About this time. Little Jimmie W«U>

cfcaotlc preparations for sleep, found
that ha had put on his pyjamas hind-
slde foremost After yaln efforts to
whirl round, quickly and get at his
own back, be put out a frowsy head,
and called for help.
"Say, Porter, Porter!"
"I'm still on the train," answered
the porter, coming Into view.
"Youll have to hook me up."
The porter rebdered what aid ana
correction be could in Wellington's
hippopotamlne toilet WeUlngton was
Just wide enough awake to discern
the undisturbed bridal-chamber. He
vhtaftd:
"Say, porter, that rl< -trap, Aren't

' The porter shook his head sadly.
"We must not be seen together,
honey. Go away, 111 see you to the
morning." ' '
And Mállory was saying with blt-

"This Is outrageous! I decline to

"You may declina, but you move
Just the same," the porter said, rescu-
ing out for his various bsgs and car-
ryalls. "The train moves and you.
move with it"
Wedgewood stood fust: "You had
no right to put me In here In tha
first place."
The porter disdained to refute this
slander. He stumbled down tbe aisla
with the bundles. "Ifs too bad, It's
sijtrnly too bad; but you sholy must
come along."
Wedgewood followed, gesticulating
violently.
"Here—^wait—how dare ypu! And

, "I shall certainly report you to the

"Yassfo't p'sume so."

CHAPTER XVI.
Good Night, All!
The car was settling: gradually Into
peace. But there was stlUisome mur-
mur and drowsy energy. Shoes con-
tinued to drop, heads to bump against
upper berths, the bell to ring now
and thra, and ring again and again.
Tbe porter paid UtUe hood to it;
ho was busy making up number live
(Ira Lathrop's berth) for MarJorie,
who was making what preparations
she could for her trousseauless, hus-
bandlass, dogless first night out '
Finally tbe Englishman, wba had al-
most rung the bell dry of electricity,
shoved from his berth his Indlgnsnt
and undignified head. Once more the
car resounded with the cry ot "Paw-
tab! Pawtah!"
The porter moved up with notice-
able ¡4AUb«fstíon. "Did you ring,
aabr' , f v-", . A wf/ '-.
"Did I ring! Paw-tab, you may
draw my tub at elghMhutty la the

"Draw yo —what, aabr the porter

on sharp elbow and twisted
the corner of her heel Into his little
toe. He thrust bis bead out with his?
fiercest, "How dare you!" But
Whitcomb was fresh from a
longed encounter with Mrs: Welling-
ton, and she flung back a venomous
glare that sent the Englishman to-

The porter reveled In his victory

over-'
like a schoolboy, Uptoe from his
berth, enter the next berth, brushing
the ¿orter aside, climb on the seat,
And clutch the ribbon that pulled the
Stopper from tbe trap.
Down upon the unsuspecting elop-
ers cama this miraculous cloudburSt
of Ironical rice, and with It came Ut-
Ue Jlmmle Wellington, who lost what
little balance be had, and catapulted
into their midst like the offspring of
an iceberg. (
It was at this moment thst Mrs;
WeUlngton, hearing the loud cries of
the panic-stricken MarJorie, rushed
from the Women's Room, absent-mind-
edly combing a totally detached seo-
tlon of hejjhalr. She recognised fa-
miliar pyjamaa waving In air, and
with one faint gasp: "Jlmmle! on this
trata!" she swooned away. She would
have fallen, but seeing that no one
paid any attention to her, she recov-
ered ..consciousness on her own hook,
and vanished Into her berth, to medi-
tate on tbe -whys and wherefores of
her husband's presence in this car.
Dr. Temple ta a nightgown and
trousers; Roger Asfaton, In a collar-
less estate, and the porter, managed
to extricate. Mr. Wellington from his
plight, and stow him away, though it
was like putting a whale to bed.
Mallory, seeing that MarJorie had
fled, vented his wild rage against fate
In general, and rice traps In particu-
lar, by tearing tbe bridal bungalow to
Plaoes, and then he stalked Into the
imoklng room, where Ira Lathrop,
homeless and dispossessed, was sound
Jeep, with his feet In the chair.
He was dreaming that -he was d
boy In Brattleboro, the worst boy In
Brattleboro, trying to get up the cour-
age to apark pretty Anne Gattle, and
throwing rocks at the best boy in
town, Charlie Selby, who was always
at her side. The porter woke Ira, an
hour láter, and escorted him to- the
late bridal section. '
MarJorie had fled with her dog, as
soon as she could grope t her way
through tbe deluge of rice. Bhe hop-
ped Into her .berth, abd spent an hour
trying to clear h«r hair of the mul-
titudinous grains.'And as for Snoosle-
ums, his thick wool Was so be-riced
that for two days, whenever he shook
himself, he snew.
Eventually, the car quieted, and
nothing was heard but the rumble and
click ot the wheels on the rails toé
creek Of timbers, and the frog-Ukt
chorus of a few well-trained snorers.
As the porter wm turning down the
last of fbe lights, a rumpled pate was
thrust trom the stateroom, and the
luscious-eyed man whispered:
"Porter, What time did you say wo
crossed tbe Iowa state Une?"
"Two liftj-five a. m."
Froth'within the stateroom-came a
deep sigb, then with a dismal groan:
"Call me at two fifty-live a. m.," thq
door Was closed. V -
Poor Mallory, pyjamaless and night-
shirtless, lay propped up on his pil-
lows, staring oitt of the window at the
Swiftly shifting bight scene. The state
of Illinois was being pulled-out from
under the train like a dark rug.
Farmhouses gleamed or dreamed
Ismpless. The moonlight rippled on
endless seas of wheAt and Indian
corn. Little towng slid up and away,
Large towns rolled forward, and were
you left behind; Ponds, marshes, brooks,
pastures, thickets and great gloomy
groves flowed past aa oar a river. But
tbe same stars and tbe moon seemed
to accompany the train, if the flying
witness had been less heavy of heart,
be would have found tha reeling scene
full of grace and night beauty. But
he could not see Ány charm In all the
world, except his tantalising other
aelf, from whom a great chasm
seemed to divide him, though she was
only two windowa away.
He bad not yet fallen asleep, and
he was still pondering bow to attain
his unmarried, unmarrlable bride,
when the train roiled out ta air above
a great wide river, very noble under
the star . Ha knew It for the Mis-
sissippi. He heard a faint, knocking
on a door at tbe other end of the car.
He beard sounds as of kisses, ana
then somebody tiptoed along the aisle
steAlthfiy. He did not know that an-
oto bridegroom was being separated
from his bride because they were too
where ta lowa he fell asleep.

and with the score standing 6-2 at
the close of the game. The usual
small Sunday crowd was present;
adding little to the excitement.
With the exception ot^he first in- j.,
iiing in which Stevenson Was touch-
ed for four hits and two runs, the
game was good; several fast plays
being pulled off, and good box work
shown by both Collier and Monte-
well.
Stevenson was slated tp pitch this
contest, and did start it, tout after
Nathan's team had piled lup their
total of runs in the first inning,, and
had been put out in one, two, three,
'order in the second, Stevenson was
taken from the game and Collier
sent in to pitch. Colgrove cairie sn
from right fielá to second base, and
Gil>bs was sent to the right-garden.
A fast double play was pulled off in
tbe first inning by Shack-the Beau-
mont second base man, _ by pulling
down a line drive in one band from
Underwood's "bat and touching sec-
ond before Úavís could retreat there.
Harrigan, way out in center field
pulled down three difficult chances
and Gibbs in" right made a pretty
throw to catcher Holt in the third
'inning, cutting off Wharton at the
plate. In fhe eighth inning, with
the bases full, Ballinger was sent in
as a pinch hitter to bat io Harri-
gan's plate and after, two strikes had
been called op him obliged with a
fly to deep'right, which Brazil pull-,
ed down after a long run, but could'
until after Col- j
im
grove taking
first and Golgrove on second, Col-
lier singled, advancing each a base.
Then Ballinger, batting for Adams,
came to the front and . instead of
striking out as he had started to do,
flied to. deep right, which Brazil
gathered in. after, a long run and, a'
pretty catch. In the" meantime Col-
grove, had beaten the throw in,
Gibbs singled, as did Davis, bring-
ing two more runs, making the final
score.
