During this operation it was necessary for Miss Ferris to sit up in the Jolting, swaying car unsupported, but when, upon finishing the tnsk, Cunningham again slipped his arm about her shoulders and drew her head to its former position, she made no resistance. A wonderful Idea occurred to him. A blazing, beautiful idea.

He trembled before his own audacity and rested his burning creek an Instant against the cool softness of her hair, forgetting the road that reduced his words to mere, fluttering breaths. Sylvia lifted her head; Cunningham saw her lips moving and bent till her lashes swept his face, but _ still ho uuuuifu iiiui no nearn arignt. "What Is that awful smell?" she repeated, finally making herself audible. So shocked was Cunningham that he had little breath with which to sniff. There did seem to ho an odor ?now that it had come to notice? overpowering, but familiar. "Phosphate!" he shouted in answer, relieving his discomfiture by strength of lung. "It's fertilizer!" Sylvia nodded and dipped her dainty nose Into the rose that decorated his lapel. Cunningham decided that conversation was out of the question, and there was no jiso getting fretty about it. The train would have to stop some time. Meanwhile, with both hands comfortably full, he mapped out liis course of procedure. The train stopped sooner than he. had expected, but at a lonely water j laiiK wnnout visible light or habitation. # "No escape here," lie reported, looking down the pebbly slope of an embankment which fell away from the door of their prison full thirty feet. "Oil, dear, that horrible odor," sighed the girl. Cunningham struck a match. Tho car was empty but for themselves and the smell of the fertilizer which enveloped the air like a loathsome, suffocating blanket. "How can wo ever explain?" Bhe lamented. Cunningham saw his opening and rushed in. "There's only 0110 thing to do," he remarked in an elaborately J matter-of-fact tone, "and that is to get married." "What?" Sylvia's voice rose to a high note of astonishment. "Is It so distasteful to you?" he asked, affecting a coolness he did not feel. Then, reseating himself and taking the bandaged hands: "1 have been trying for two years to muster the courage to propose to yon. You must have seen how hard mi i am. i "You never said anything" "I'm saying it now; and?you?care a little, don't you, Sylvia? It's the best way." Sylvia n-'ltber answered nor shrank from bis embrace. "I have no idea where this train is taking us," lie continued, "but we shall come to a town before long, that's certain. Ministers and licenses are easily found. You have no parents to consult, nor have I, and neither of i;s are a minor. After we're married wo will come bark and tell I'rexy all about It.
