minded. Ashton of a story. Ashton was
one of the great That-4-teminds-Me
family. 1'crhaps ii was to the erodit
of the Englishman that he missed the
point of this story, even though Jim
mie Wellington saw it through his fog,
and Dr. Temple turned red and buried
his eyes in the eminently respectable
pages (if the Scientific American.
Ashton and Wellington and Fosdick
exchanged winks over the Britisher's
stare of incomprehension, and Ashton
explained It to him again in words of
one syllable, with signboards at all
the different spots.
Finally a gleam of understanding
broke over Wedgewood's face and he
tried to justify his delay.
"Oh. yes. of caw He 1 see it now. Yes,
I rather fancy I get you. It's awfully
good, isn't it ? 1 think I should have
got it before but I'm not really my
self; for two mawnings 1 haven't had
iny tub."
Wellington shook with laughter: "If
you'rt- like this now, what will you be
when you get to Sin sail frasco ? Ii
mean Frinsanaisco ? well, you know j
what I mean."
Ashton reached round for the elec- !
trie button <is if he were conferring a
favor: "The drinks are on you, 1
Wedi'ewood I'll ring." And he rang.
"Awf'lly kind of you," said Wedge
wood, "but how do you make that I
out ?" j
"The man that misses the point,
pays for the drinks." And he rang '
again. Wellington protested.
"But I've Jolly well paid for all tho
drinks for t wo da> ??"
Wellington roared "That's another
point you've missed." And Ashtun
rang again, but the pale yellow indi
vidual who had always answered the
bell with alacrity did not appear.
"Where's that infernal buffet waiter?"
grumbled.
Wedgewood began to titter. "We
were out of Scotch, so I sent him for
some more."
"When?"
"Two stations back. I fancy we
must have left him behind."
"Well, why In thunder didn't you
say so?" Ashton roared.
"It quite escaped my mind," Wedge
wood grinned. "Rather good Joke on
you fellows, what?'"
"Well, I don't see the point," Ash
ton growled, but the triumphant Eng
lishman howled: "That's where you
pay ! "
Wedgewood had his laugh to him
self, for the others wanted to murder
him. Ashton advised a lynching, but
the conductor arrived on the scene in
time to prevent violence.
Fosdick informed him of the lrre
trievable lows of the useful buffet wait
er. The conductor promised to get !
another at Ogden.
Ashton walled: "Have we got to
alt here and die of thirst till then?"
The conductor refused to "back up
for a coon," but offered to send in a
Bleeping oar porter as a temporary
substitute.
As he started to go, Fosdlck, who
had been incessantly consulting his
watch, checked him to ask: "Oh. con
ductor, when do we get to the state
line of dear old Utah?"
"Dear old Utah!" the conductor
grinned, "We'd 'a' been there already
if v/e hadn't 'a' fell behind a little."
"Just .my luck to be late," Fosdlck
moaned.
"What you so anxious to be In
Utah for, Fosdlck?" Ashton asked, sus
plclously. "You go on to 'Frisco, don't
you?" ? ,
Fosdlck was evidently confused at
the direct question. He tried to
dodge it: "Yes, but ? funny how things
hHve changed. When we started, no
body was speaking to anybody except
his wife, now ? "
"Now," said Ashton, drily, "every
body'a speaking to everybody except
his wife."
"You're wrong there," Little Jlm
mie interrupted. "I wasn't speaking
mle Interrupted. "I wasn't speaking
to my wife In the first place. We got
on aa atrangersh ana we're strangersh
yet. Mrs. Well'n'ton Is a ? "
"A queen among women, we know!
Dry up," aald Ashton, and then they
heard the querulous voice of the por
ter of their sleeping car: "I tell you,
I don't know nothln' about the buffet
business."
The conductor pushed him in with
a gruff command. "Crawl in that cage
and get busy."
"Still the porter protested: "Mlsta
Pullman engaged me for a sleepln'
car, not a drlnkln' car. I'm a berth
maker, not a iiiixer." He .cast a re
sentful glance through the window
that served alao as a bar, and his
whole tone changed: "Say, is you
goin' to allow me looae amongst all
you do, I can't guarantee my con
duck."
them beautiful bottles? Say,~man^ If
"If you even sniff one of those bot
tles," the conductor warned him, "I'll
crack it over your head."
"That, won't worry me none ? as
long us my mouf's open.". He smacked
his chops over the prospect of inti
macy with that liquid treasury.
'Lordy! Well, I'll try to control my
amotions ? but remember, I don't guar
antee nothln'."
The conductor started to go, but
paused for final Instructions: "And
remember ? after we get to Utah we
can't serve any hard liquor at all."
"What's that? Don't they 'low noth
in' in that old Utah but ice-cream
soda?"
"That's about all. If you touch a
drop, I'll leave you in Utah for life."
"Oh, Lordy, I'll be good!"
The conductor left the excited black
and went his way. Ashton was the
first to speak: "Say, Porter, can you
mix drinks?"
T he" po r t e r ' ~r umiTrotedr-t hen con
fessed : "Well, not on the outside, no,
sir. If you-all is thirsty you better or
der the simplest things you can think
of. If you want to command anything*
fancy, Lord knows what you'd get.
Supposin" you was to say, "Gimme a
Tom Collins.' I'd be Just as liable a
not to pass you a Jack Johnson."
"Well, can you open beer?"
"Oh, I'm a natural born beer
opener." '
"Rush it out then. My throat is as
full of alkali dust as these .windows."
The porter soon appeared with a
tray' full of cotton-topped glasses. Tho
day was hot and the alkali dust very
oppressive, and the beer was cold. Dr.
Temple looked on it when It wan am
ber, and suffered himself to be bullied
Into taking a glass.
He felt that he was the greatest sin
ner on earth, but worst of all was the
fact that when he had fallen, the for
bidden brew was not sweot, He was
inexperienced enough to sip It and it '
was like foaming quinine on his pal
ate. Hut he kept at it from sheer
shame, and his luxurious transgres
sion was its own punishment.
The doleful Mallory was on his way
to Join the "club." Crossing the ves
tibule he had met the conductor, and
had ventured to quiz him along the
old lines:
"Excuse he, haven't you taken any
clergymen on board this train yet?"
"Devil a one."
"Don't you ever carry any preachers
on this road?"
"Usually we get one or two. Lest
trip we carried a whole Methodist
convention."
"A whole convention last trip! Jnst
my luck!"
The unenlightened conductor turned
to call back: "Say, up In the forward
car we got a couple of undertakers.
They be of any use to you ?"
'TNTot Z?L"
Then Mallory dawdled on into the
smoking room, where ho found bU
own porter, who explained that he
had been "promoted to the bottlerjr."
"Do we eome to a station stop
soon?" Mallory asked.
"Well, not for a considerable inter
val. Do you want to get out and walk
up and downr'
"I don't," aald Mallory, taking from
under bit coat Sdoosleurns, whom he
had smuggled past the new conductor.
I "Meanwhile, Porter, could you give
him something to eat to distract
him?"
The port 4r grinned, and picking up
re bill of fare held it out,. "I got a
meenuel. it ain't written in dog, but
you can explain it to him, What would
yo' canine deslah, sah?"
Bnoosleum* put out a paw and Mal?
lory read what it indicated: "He says
he'd like a Met Chateaubriand, but if
you have any old bones, he'll take
those." The porter gathered Snoozle
uni9 in and disappeared with him Into
the butfet, ' Mullory calling after him:
"Don't let the conductor see him."
Dr. Temple advanced on the dla
conaolate youth with an effort at
cheer: "How Is our bridegroom thlu
beautiful afternoon?"
Mallory glanced at his costume: "I
feel like a rainbow gone wrong. Juat
my luck to have to borrow from
everybody. Look at me! Thin collar
of Mr. Wellngton's makes me feel like
a peanut in a rubber tire." He turned
to Fosdlck.
"I say, Mr. Foadlck, what site col
lar do you wear?"
"Fourteen and a half," Bald Fosdlck.
"Fourteen and a half! ? why don't
you get a neck? You haven't got a
plain white Bhirt, have you? Our
English friend lent me this, but it's
purple, and Mr. Ashton's Bocks are
maroon, and this peacock blue tie is
very unhappy."
"I think I can fit you out," aald Foa
dlck.
"And if you had an extra pair of
Bocks," Mallory pleaded ? "Juat one
pair of unemotional aocka."
"I'll show you my repertoire."
"Al^> right, I'll Bee you later." Then
he w?it up to Wellington, with much
hositance of manner. "By the Way,
Mr. Wellington, do you suppose Mrs.
Wellington could lend Miss ? Mrs. ?
could lend Marjorie some ? Bome ? "
Wellington waved him aside with
I magnificent scorn: "I am no longer
in Mrs. Wellington's confidence."
"Oh, excuse me," Bald Mallory. He
had noted that the Wellingtons occu
pied separate compartments, but for
all he knew their reason was as ro
mantic as his own.
CHAPTER XXIII.
Through a Tunnel.
Mrs, Jimmle Wellington, who had
(raveled much abroad and learned In
England the habit of smoking in the
corridors of expensive hotels, had ao
quired also the habit, as travelers do,
of calling England freer than Amer
ica. She determined to do her share
toward the education of her native
j country, and chose, for her topic, to
5 bacco as a feminine accomplishment,
j She had grown lndlfTerent to stares
! and audible comment and she could
J fight a protesting head waiter to a
I standstill. If monuments and tablets
are ever erected to the first woman
1 who smoked publicly In this place or
j that, Mrs Jimmle Wellington will be
variously remembered and occupy a
I large place In historical record. *
The narrow confines of the women's
' room on the sleeping car soon palled
I on her, and she objected to smoking
i there except when she felt the added
| luxury of keeping some other woman
j outside ? fuming, but not smoking.
And now Mrs. Jimmle had staked out
I a claim on the observation platform.
She sat there, puffing like a major
general, and in one portion of Ne
braska two farmers fell off their agri
cultural vehicles at the sight of her
cigar-smoke trailing after the train.
In Wyoming three cowboys followed"
her for a mile, ylpping and howling
ttretr compliments.
Feeling the smoke mood coming on,
Mrs. Wellington invited Mrs. Temple
to smoke with her, but Mrs. Temple
felt a reminiscent qualm at the very
thought, so Mrs. Jimmle sauntered
out. alone, to the great surprise of
Ira Lathrop, whose motto was, "Two
heads are better than one," and who
was apparently willing to wait till
Anne Gattle's head grew on bis
shoulder.
*'I trust I don't intrude," Mrs. Well
ington said.
"Oh, no. Oh, 3fce8."' Anne gasped In
fiery confusion as she fled Into the
i car, followed by the purple-faced Ira,
! who slammed the door with a growl:
"That Wellington woman would break
i up anything."
The prim little missionary toppled
Into the nearest chair: "Oh, Ira, what
will she think?"
"She can't think!" Ira grumbled.
[ "In a little while shell know."
| "Don't you think we'd better tell
everybody before they begin to talk?"
Ira glowed with pride at the
thought and murmured with all the
J ardor of a senile Romeo: "I suppose
so, ducky darling. I'll break It? I
mean I'll tell It to the men, and you
tell the women,"
"All right, dear, I'll obey you," she
answered, meekly.
"Obey me!" Ira laughed with boy?
lsh swagger. "And you a mission*
ary!"
"Well, I've converted one heathen,
anyway," said Anne as she dart#d
down the corridor, followed by Em,
who announced his Intention to **00'
to the baggage car and dig up his old
Prince Albert."
In their flight forward they pa? ?l
the mysterious woman in the stat*
room. They wars too full of their
own mystery to give thought to her*.
Mrs. Jfofdlck went timidly prowling
toward tbe observation car, suspect
ing everybody to be * spy, as Mallory
suapected everybody to be a clergy
man in disguise.
As she stole along tbe corridor
past tbe men's club room sbe aaw ber
husband? ber bere-and-tbere husband
? wearily counting the telegraph
poets and summing them up into
miles. She tapped on tbe glass and
signalled to him, then passed on.
lie answered with a look, then pre- ]
tended not to have noticed, and wait- j
e-d a few moments before b$ rose with
un elaborate air of carelessness. He
beckoned tbe porter and said:
"I^?t me know the moment we en
ter Utah, will you?"
"Yassah. We'll be oomln' aloug
right eoon now. We got to pass
through the big Aspen tunnel, after
that, befo' long, we splounce Into old
Utah."
"I>on't forget," said Fosdlck, as be
sauntered out. Ashton perked up hla
ears at the promise of a tunnel and
kept bis eye on hi* watch.
Fosdlck entered the observation
room with a hungry look In his
luscious eyes. Ills now and then wife
put up a warning finger tQ Indicate
Mrs. Whltcomb's presence at the
writing desk.
Fosdlck's smile fro?e Into a amlrk
of formality and he tried to chili his
tone as If he were speaking to a total
stranger.
"Oood afternoon."
Mrs. Fosdlck answered with equal
ice; Good afternoon. Won't you tflt
down?"
"Thanks. Very picturesque scen
ery, isn't it?"
"Isn't it?" Fosdlck seated himself,
looked about cautiously, noted that
Mrs. Whltcomb was apparently ab
sorbed In her letter, then lowered his
voice confidentially. His face kept up
a strained pretense of Indifference,
but his whisper was passionate with
longing:
"Has my poor little wlfey missed
her poor old hubby?"
"Oh, so much!" she whispered.
"Has poor little hubby missed his
poor old wife?"
"Horribly. Was she. lonesome in
that dismal stateroom all by her
self?"
"Ob, so miserable! I can't stand it
much longer."
Fosdick'a face blazed with good
news: "In Just a little while we come
to the Utah Hue ? then we're safe."
"God bless Utah!"
The rapture died from her face as
she caught sight of Dr. Temple, who
happened to stroll in and go to the
bookshelves, and taking out a book
happened to glance near sightedly her
way.
"Be careful of that man, dearie,"
Mrs. Fosdlck hissed out of one side
of her mouth. "He's a very strange
character."
Her husband was infected with her
own terror. He asked, huskily: "What
do you think he is?"
"A detective! I'm sure he's watch
j lng us. He followed you right in
here."
I "We'll be very cautious ? till we get
J to Utah."
| The old clergyman, a little fuzzy in
: brain from his debut in beer, contin
ued innocently to confirm the appear
i ance of a detective by drifting aim
lessly about. He was looking for his
wife, but he kept glancing at the un
easy Fosdicks. He went to the door,
opened it, saw Mrs. Wellington finish
ing a cigar, and retreated precipitate
ly. Seeing Mrs. Temple wandering in
the corridor, he motioned her to a
chair near the Fosdicks and she sat
by his side, wondering at his filmy
eyes.
The Fosdicks, glancing uncomfort
ably at Dr. Temple, rose and selected
other chairs further away. Then
Roger Ashton sauntered in, his eyes
searching for a proper companion
through the tunnel.
He saw Mrs. Wellington returning
from the- platform, Just tossing away
her cigar and blowing out the last of
its grateful vapor.
With an effort at sarcasm, he went
to her and offered her one of his own
cigars, smiling: "Have another."
She took it, looked It over, and
parried his Irony with a formula she
had heard men use when they hate
to refuse a gift-cigar: "Thanks. I'll
smoke it after dinner, if you don't
mind."
"Oh, I don't mind," he laughed, then
bending closer he murmured: "They
tell me we are coming to a tunnel, a
nice, long, dark, dismal tunnel."
Mrs. Wellington would not take a
dare. She felt herself already eman
cipated from Jlmmle. So she answered
Ashton's hint with a laughing chal
lenge:
"How nice of the conductor to ar
range it."
Ashton smacked his lips over the
prospect.
And now the porter, having noted
Ashton's impatience to reach the tun
nel, thought to curry favor and a
Quarter by announcing Its approach.
He bustled in and made straight for
Ashton Just as the tunnel announced
itself with a sudden swoop of gloom,
a great increase of the train-noises
and a far-off clang of the locomotive
bell.
Out of the Egyptian darkness came
til? unmistakable sounds of osculation
In various parts of the room. Doubt
less, it was repeated in other parts of
the train. There were numerous coo
ing sounds, too, but nobody spoke ex*
cept Mrs. Temple, who whs heard to
murmur:
"Oh, Walter, dear, what makes your
breath so funny!"
Next came a little yowl of pain In
Mrs. Fosdlek's voice, and than day*
light flooded-1 the car with a rush, as
if time had made an Instant laap from
midnight to noon. There were inter
eating disclosures.
was caught. wljh her
anas round the doctor's neci, and
she blushed Ilk# a spoony Ctrl. Mrs.
Fovdlck was trying to disengage bar
hair from Mr. Fosdlck'a searf pin. Mrs.
Wbltcoinb alone was deserted. Mr.
Ashton was gaslug devotion at Mrs.
Wellington snd trying to tell her
with bis eyes bow velvet be
found ber cheek.
Hut she was looking reproachfully
at him from a chair, and saying, not
without regret: &
"I beard everybody kissing every
body, but 1 was cruelly neglected."
Ashton's eyes widened with unbe
lief, be beard a snicker at his elbow,
and whirled to find the porter rub
bing bis black velvet cheek and
writhing with pent-up laughter.
Mrs. Wellington glanced the same
way, and a shriek of understanding
burst from her. It sent the porter
into a h pa Kin of yah-yahs till be
caught Ashton's eyes and saw murder
In them. The porter fled to the plat
form and held the door fast, expect
ing to be lynched.
Hut Asbton daubed away In search
of concealment and aoap.
The porter remained on the plat
form for some time, planning to leap
overboard and take his chances rather
than fall Into Ashton's hands, but at
length, finding himself unpursued, he
peered Into the car and, seeing that
Ashton had gone, he returned to his
duties. He kept a close watch on
Ashton, but on soberer thoughts Ash
ton had decided that the Incident
would best bo consigned to silence
and oblivion. Hut for ull the rest of
that, day he kept rubbing his lips
with his handkerchief.
The porter, noting that the train
had swept into a granite gorge like
an enormously magnified aisle In a
made-up sleeping car, recognized the
presence of Echo Canyon, and with
It the entrance Into Utah. He hastened
to Impart the tidings to Mr. Fosdlck
and held out his hand as he extended
the information.
Fosdlck could hardly believe thai
his twelvehundrod-inile exile was
over.
"We're in Utah?" he exclaimed.
"Yassflh," and the porter shoved
his palm into view. Fosdlck filled it
with all his loose change, then
whirled to his wife and cried:
"Edith! We are in Utah now! Em
brace me!"
She flung herself into his arms with
a gurgle of bliss. The other passen
gers gasped with amazement. This
sort of thing was permissible enough
in a tunnel, but in the full light of
day ? !
Fosdlck, noting the sensation he
had created, waved his hand reas
suringly and called across his wife's
shoulder:
Don't be alarmed, ladles and gen
tlemen. She's my wife!" He added
in a whisper meant for her ear alone:
"At least till we get to Nevada!"
Then she whispered something In
his ear and they hurried from tfce car.
They left behind them a bewilder
ment that eclipsed the wonder of the
Mallorles. That couple spoke to each
other at least during the day time.
Here was a married pair that did not
speak at all for two days and two
nights and then made a sudden and
public rush to each other's ajrns!
Dr. Temple summed up the general
feeling when he said:
"I don't believe in*wltches, but If l
did I'd believe that this train Is be
witched."
Later he decided that Fosdlck was a
Mormon elder and that Mrs. Fosdlck
was probably a twelfth or thirteenth
spouse he was smuggling in from the
east. The theory was not entirely
false, for Fosdlck was one of the
many victims of the crazy-quilt of
American divorce codes, though he
^^^ostunwiiiing of poiygamlsts.
And Dr. Temple gave up his theory in
despair the next morning when he
found the Fosdicks still on the train
and once more keeping aloof from
each other.

UU .
The Real Story of
PRINTYPE
The Idea from which "Prlu
type" sprung resulted from the
success of our type experts In
equipping a typewriter used in
our offices to write "The Oliver
Typewriter" In our famous trade
mark type just as th? name ap
pears on the outside of the ma
chine and in all Oliver pub
licity. ?
The beautiful appearance and
the marvelous clearness of the
reproduction of our "ebony"
trade-mark type, disclosed the
possibilities of equipping The Ol
iver Typewriter to write the
entire English language In shad
ed letters! >'m
We worked {or years on the|]
plan and finally succeeded in
producing, for exclusive use on
The Oliver Typewriter, the won
derful shaded letters and numer
als known to the world as "PHi-i
type."
The Public's Verdict
That the public Is overwhelm
ingly in favor of Prlntype Is Im
pressively shown by this fact: Vis
Already over 75 i>er cent of
our entire output of Oliver Tjp*
writers are "Prlntypes."
The public Is demanding
type in preference to the
style type.
Within a year, at the presertj
