you think I'm In this business for my
health?"
And he snatched off two earrings
?he had forgotten to remove. Fortu
nately, they were affixed to her lobes
with fasteners.
Mrs. Jimmie watt thoroughbred
enough not to wlnce> She simply com
mented: "You brutes are almost as
bad as the customs officers at New
York."
And now another touch of light re
lieved the gloom. Kathleen was next
In line, and she had been forcing her
tlpn Into their most attractive smile,
and keeping her eyes wlnsomely mel
low, for the robber's benefit. MarJorJ*
could not see the smile; she could
only see that Kathleen was next. She
Whispered to Mallory:
"They'll get the bracelet! They'll
get the bracelet!"
And Mallory could have danced with
glee. But Kathleen leaned coquet*
ttahly toward the masked stranger,
and threw all her art luto her tone
as ?eho murmured:
'Tin sure you're too brave to take
my things. I've always admired men
wtth the oouruge of Claudo Duval,"
The robber watt taken a trltle aback,
but he growled: "I don't know the par
ty you speak of ? but cough up!" ?
"Listen to her," Marjorle whispered
tn horror; "she's flirting with the
train-robber."
"What won t some women flirt
with!" Mallory exclaimed.
The robber studied Kathleen a lit
tle more attentively, as he whipped
off her necklace and her rings. Hhe
looked good to him, and ho willing,
that ho muttered: "Say, lady, if you'll
give me a klsa, I'll give you that dia
mond ring you got on."
"All right!" laughed Kathleen, with
triumphant compliance.
"My God!" Mallory groaned, "what
won't some women do for a diamond!"
The robber bent close, and was just
raising his mask to collect his ran
som, when his confederate glanced his
way, and knowing his susceptible na
ture, foresaw his intention, and stft&t
ed: "Stop It, Jake. You 'tend strictly
to business, or I'll blow your nose
off." ' vi
"Oh, all righ't," grumrt^p the roluo
tant gallant, as he drevwfyh^ rlnK from
her finger. "Sorry, miss, but I can't
make Uio trade," and he added with
an unwonted gentleness: "You can
turn round now."
Kathleen was glad to hido the blush
es of dofoat, but Marjorle was still
more bitterly disappointed. Sho whis
pered to Mallory: "He didn't get tho
bracelet, after all."
CHAPTER XXXIX.'
Wolv?6 in the Fold.
Mallory's heart sank to Its usual
depth, bat Marjorle had another of
her Inspirations. She startled every
body by suddenly beckoning and call
ing: "Excuse me, Mr. Robber. Como
here, " pleafce."
The curious gallant edged her way,
keeping a sharp watch along the line:
"What d'you want?"
Marjorle leaned nearer, and spoko
In a low tone with an amiable smile:
"That litdy who wanted to kiss you
has a bracelet up her sleeve."
The robber stared acroBs his mask,
and wondered, but laughed, and
grunted: "Much obliged." Then he
went back, and tapped Kathleen on
the shoulder. When she turned round,
in the hope that he had reconsidered
his refusal to make the trade, he In
furiated her by growling: "Excuse
me, miss, I overlooked a bet."
He ran his hand along her arm, and
found her bracelet^ and accomplished
what Mallory had failed in, its re
moval.
"Don't, don't," cried Kathleen, "It's
wished on."
"1 wish It off," the villain laughed,
and It joined the growing heap in the
feed-bag.
Kathleen, doubly enraged, broke
out viciously: "You're a common,
sneaking ? "
"Ah, turn round!" the man roared,
and she obeyed in silence.
Then he explored Mrs. Whitcomb,
but with such small reward that ho
said: "Say, you'd oughter have a
pocketbook somewhere. Where's It
'at?"
Mrs. Whitcomb blushed furiously:
"None of your business, you low
brute."
"Perdooce, madame," the scoundrel
snorted, "perdooce the purso, or 1'H
hunt for it myself."
Mrs. Whitcomb turned away, and
after some management of her skirts,
slapped her handbag into the eager
palm with a wrathful: "You're no gen
tleman, sir!"
"If I was, I'd be in Wall street," he
laughed. "Now you can turn round."
Asnd when she turned. he iaw a bit
'of chain depending from her hack

And bow Mr*. Temple began to sob,
as sl>e parted with an old fashioned
brooch and two oUi-fasbloned rings

th* quarter of la century and more.
The old clergyman could have wept
wltb her at the vandalism. He turned
on tbe wretcb wltb m heartsick ap

"Can't you spare' tboeeT Didn't you

The robber started, bis fierce eyes

gulped hard as be drew the back of
bis band across bis eyes.
"Aw, bell," be whimpered, "that ,

But the one called Jake-~the Claude

thief at once, and he went back to
work ruthlessly. "Ob, all right, Jake.
Horry, ma'am, but business Is bual
ness.'V And he dumped Mrs. Temple's
trlhkets Into the satchel. It was too
much for the little old lady's little
old husband. He fairly shrieked:
"Young man, you're a damned
scoundrel, and the best argument I
ever saw for beU-flre!"
Mrs. Temple's grief changed to bor>
ror at such a bolt from the blue:
"Walter!" she gasped, "such lan
guage!"
But her husband answered In self
defense: "Even a minister has a right
to swear once In his lifetime."
Mallory, almost dropped In felf
tracks, and Marjorle keeled over on
him, as be gasped: "Good Dord, Dr.
Temple, you are a? a minister?"
"Yes, my boy," the old man con
fessed, glad that the robbers had re
lieved him of his guilty secret along
with the rest of his private properties.
Mallory looked at the collapsing Mar
jorle and groaned: "And he was In
the next berth all this time!"
The unmasking of the old fraud
made a second sensation. Mr*. Foe
dick called from far down the aisle:
"Dr. Temple, you're aot a detective??'
Mrs. Temple shouted back furious
ly: "How dare you?"
But Mrs. Fosdlck was crying to ker
luscious-eyed mate: "Oh, Arthur, he's
not a detective. Embrace met"
And they embraced, while the rob
bers looked on aghast at the suddea
oblivion they had fallen Into. They
focussed the attention on themselves
again, however, with a ferocious:
, "Here, hands up!" But they did not
see Mr. and Mrs. Fosdlck steal a klas
behind their upraised arms, for the
robber to whose lot Mallory fell was
gloating over his wdll-fllled wallet.
Mallory saw It go with fortitude, but
noting a piece of legal paper, he said:
"Bay, old man, you don't want that
marriage license, do you?"
The robber handled it as if it were
hot ? as If he had burned his fingers
on some such document once before,
and hq stuffed it back in Mallory's
pooket. "I should "say not. Keep it.
Turn round."
Mcanwmie tne othor felon turned
up another beautiful pile of bills In
Dr. Temple's pocket. "Not so worse
for a parson," he grinned. "You must
be one of them Filth avenue sky
shnlTures."
And now Mrs. Temple's gentle eyes
and voice filled with tears again: "Oh,
don't take that. That's the money for
his vacation ? after thirty long years.
Please don't" take -that."
Iler appeals seemed always to tlnd
the tender Bpot of this robber's heart,
for he hesitated, and called out:
"Shall we overlook the parson's wad,
podner?"
"Take It, and shut up, you molly
coddle!" was the answer he got, and
the vacation funds joined the old gew.
gawB, -
And now everybody had been
robbed but Marjorle. She happened to
be at the center of the line, and both
men reached her at the same time:
"I seen her first," the first one
shouted.
"You did not," the other roared.
"I tell you I did."
"I tell you I did." They glared
threateningly at each other, and their
revolvers seemed to meet, like two
game cocks, beak to beak.
The porter voiced the general hope,
when he sighed: "Oh, Lawd, if they'd
only shoot each other."
This brought the rivals to their evil
senses, and they swept the line \^ith
those terrifying muzzles and that
hoart-stoppfng yelp: "Hands up!"
Rill said: "You take the east side of
her, and I'll take the west."
"All right."
And they began to snatch away her
side-combs, the little gold chain at
her throat, the Jeweled pin that Mal
lory had given her as the first token
of his love.
Tho young soldier had foreseen this.
He had foreseen the wild rage that
would unseat his reason when he saw
tho dirty hands of thieves laid rudely
on the sacred body of his beloved.
But his Boldler-schoollng had drilled
him to govern his Impulses, to play
the coward when there was no hope
of successful battle, and to strike only
when the moment was ripe with per
fect opportunity.
He had kept telllhg himself . that
when the finger of one of these men
touched so much at Marjorle's hem,
he would be fotced to fling himself
on the profane miscreant. And he
kept telling himself that the moment
he did this, the other man would
calmly blow a hole through him, and
drop him at Marjorle's feet, while the
other passengers shrank away In ter
ror.
He told himself that, while It might
be a line Impulse to leap to her de
fease, ft was a fool Impulse^ to leap

ho would bold himself in check. and
1st tha robber* take everything, leav
ing hi in only the at ma or coward,
provided they left blra ilso the power
to defend Marjorle better at another
time.
And now tbst be saw the clumsy
handed thugs rifling hla sweetheart's
jewelry, he fslt all that be bad fore
aeen, and hla head fought almost In
?sin age I net the white Are of hla
heart. Between them be trembled
like a leaf, and the a west globed on
bis forehead,
^ Jhe worst of It was the shivering
terror of Msrjorle, and the pitiful eyes
ahe turned on blm. But be clenched
"hla teeth and waited, tblnklug fierce
1/, watching, like a hovering eagle, a
chance to swoop.
But the robbers kept glancing this
way and that, and one motion irould
mean death. They tbemseltes were
so overwrought with their own ordeal
and its Immediate oonclusloo, tbat
they would have killed anybody. Mal
lory shifted his foot cautloualy, and
Inetantly a gun wan jabbed Into hla
stomach, with a anarl: "Don't you
move?"
"Who's moving ?" Mai lory answered,
with a poor Imitation of a careless
laugh.
And now the man called bill had
reached lfarjorle's right hand. He
chortled: "?oily, look at the shiners."
But Jake, who had chosen Mar
jorle's left hand, roared:
"Bay, you cheated. All I get is this
measly plain gold band."
"Oh, don't take that!" Mjtfjorle
gasped, clehchlng her band.
Mallory's heart ached at the thought
of this final sacrilege. He had the
license, sad the minister at last? and
now the fteods were going to carry ol
the wedding ring. He controlled him
self with a desperate effort, and
Stooped to plead: MSay, old man, don't
take that. That'a not fair."
"Shut up, both of you,- Jake
growled, sad jabbed him again with
the gun.
He gave the ring a Jerk, bat Mar
jorle, In the very face of the weapon,
would not let go., She struggled and
tugged, weeping and Imploring: "Oh,
don't, don't take that! It'a my wed
ding ring."
"Agh, what do I care!" the ruffian
snarled, sad wrenched her ltager so
viciously that she gave a little cry ol
pain.
That broke Msllory's heart With
a wild, bellowing, "Damn you!" he
hurled himself at the man, with only
hla bare hands for weapons.
CHAPTER XL. v
A Wsrs In Spite ef Himself.
Passloa sent Mallory Into the un
equal fight with two mmI mad des
perate outlaws. But ? ration had
planned the way. lie had been study
ing the robber all the tUaei al It the
villain were a war-map, studying his
gestures, his way of turning, and bow
he held the revolver. He had noted
that the man, as he frisked the pas
sengers, did not keep his finger en
the trigger, but on the guard.
Marjorle's little battlo threw the
desperado off hi? balance a trifle; as
be recovered, Mallory struck him, and
swept him on over against tho hack
of a seat. At tho Bamo Instant, Mal
lory's right hand went like lightning
to the trigger guard, and gripped the
fingers In a vise of steel, while he
drove tho man's elbow back against
his side. Mallory 'fl left hand mean
while flung around his enemy's neck,
i and gave him a spinning fall that sent
| his left hand out for balance. It fell
j across tho back of the seat, and Mal
j lory pinioned it with elbow and knee
l before it could escape.
All in the same crowded moment,
his left knuckles jolted the man's chin
j in the air, and so bewildered him
j that his muscles relaxed enough for
Mallory's right fingers to squirm their
i way to the trigger, and aim the gun
| at the other robber, and finally to get
entire control of it.
j Tho thing had happened in suoh a
flash that the second outlaw could
; hardly beliovo his eyes. The shriek
? of the astounded passengers, and the
j grunt of Mallory's prisoner, as he
j crashed backward, woko him to the
; need for action. He caught his other
' gun from its holster, and made for a
i double volley, but there was nothing
j to aim at. Mallory was crouched In
j the seat, and almost perfectly cov
! erod by a human shield.
' Still, from force of habit and fool
j hardy pluck, Bill aimed at Mallory's
right eyebrow, just abaft Jake's right
! ear, and shouted his old motto:
j "Hands up! you!"
"Hands up yourself!" answered
' Mallory, and his victim, shuddering at
the fierce look In his comrade's eyes,
gasped: "For God's sake, don't shoot,
Rill!"
Even then tho fellow stood his
grotind, and debated tho Issue, till
Mallory threw such ringing determine
tlon into one last: "Hands up, or by
God, I'll fire!" that he caved in, lifted
his fingers from the triggers, turned
the guns up, and slowly raised both
hands above his head. v
A profound "Ahl" of relief soughed
through the car, and Mallory, still
keeping his eye on Bill, got down cau
tiously from the seat The momelit
he released Jake's left hand, It darted
to the holster where his second gun
was waiting. But before he eottld
clutch the butt of It, Mallory jabbed
the muxsle of his own revolver In the
man's backhand growled: "Put 'em
up!" And the robber's left hand
joined the right In air, while 'MaU0*7*a
left hand lifted the revolver.
Mallory stood for a moment, .

sighed: "Golly. 1 should like to swear

Then he reached up and diaarmed
the man who had, taken bin wallet
and bit wife's keepsakes.
American children breathe In this
desperado romance with their earliest J
r traditions, and Dr. Temple felt all his
boyhood test surge back with a boy's
; tremendous rapture In a deed of dor
ring-do. And now nothing could check
bin swagger, as he said to Mallory: <
"What a shall we do with these <
dam-ued sinners?"
He felt like apologising for the
clerical relapse into a pulpltlsm, but '
Mallory answered briskly: "We'd bob
t er take them Into the smoking room.
They, scare the ladies. But first, will
the conductor take those bags and
distribute the contents to their right
ful owners?"
The conductor was proud to act as
lieutenant to this lieutenant, and he
quickly relieved the robbers of their
loot-kits.
Mallory smiled. "Don't give any
body my things," and then be Jabbed
bis robber with one of the revolvers,
aud commanded: "Forward, march I"
The little triumphal procesalon
moved off, with Bill in the lead, fol
lowed by Dr. Temple, looking like a
whole field battery, followed by Jake,
Cot lowed by Mallory. followed by the
porter and as many \>f the other pas
aengers as could crowd Into the smok
ing room,
The rest vent after those opulent
feed-bags.
CHAPTER XLI.
Ctlckety-Cllckety-Cllckety.
Marjorle, as the supposed wife of
the rescuing angel, was permitted
frst search, and the first thing she
hunted for was a certain gold brace
let that was none of hers. 8he found
it and seised it with a prayer of
thaaks, and conoealed it among her
own things; ?
Mrs. Temple gave her a guilty start,
by speaking across a barrier:
"Mrs. Mallory, your husband Is the
bravest man on earth."
"Oh, I know he is," Marjorle
beamed, and aided with a spasm of
conscience: **but he Isn't my hus
band!"
Mrs. Temple gasped in horror, hue
Marjorle dragged her close, and
poured out the whole story, wblle t?e
other passengers recovered their prop
erties with at much Joy as ir they
were all new gifts found on a bush.
Meanwhile, under Mallory's guid
ance, the porter fastened the outlaws
together back to back with the straps
of their own feed-bags. The porter
was rejoicing that his harvest of tips
was not blighted after all.
a minute," and hurried forward The
conductor followed Mallory through
the train Into the burnt conch.
The first news the third outlaw had
of the counter-revolution occurring In
the sleeping car waa a mysterious
bullet that nicked the duet near his
r heel, and a sonorous shout of -Hands
up!" As he whirled In juna*e; h?
esw two revolvers aimed point blank
at hltn from behind a trunk. Me
hoisted his guns without parley, and
the train crew trussed him up In short
order,
Mallory ran back to Marjorle, and
the conductor followed more slowly,
reassuring the passengers In the other
i cars, aud making certain that t he
j train was ready to move on Its way.
Mallory went straight to Dr. Ten*
pie, with a burniAg demand:
I "You dear old fraud, will you marry
j me?"
I Dr, Temple laughed and nodded.
! Marjorle and Mrs. Temple had been
| telling him the story of the prolonged
' elopement, end he was eager to atone
for his own deception, by putting an
| end to their misery.
"Just wait one moment," he said, j
and as a final proof of affection, he
unbuttoned bis collar and put It on
j backwards. Mrs. Temple brought oul
the discarded bib, and he donned II
meekly, The transformation ex
plained many a mystery the Old man
had enmeshed himself In.
1 Kven at he made ready for the
ceremony, the conductor appeared,
' looked him over, grinned, and reached
I for tbe bell-cord, with a cheerful: "All
aboard!"
Mallory had a sort of superstitious
dread, not entirely unfounded on ex
perience, that If the train got undei
way again, It would run Into some
' new obstacle *to his marriage. H?
i turned to the conductor:
! "Say, old man, just hold the train
I till after my wedding, won't youT"
It was not much to ask In return
for bis services, but the conductoi
was tired of being second in Com
mand. He growled:
"Not a minute. We're 'Way behind
time."
"You might wait till Tm married,"
j Mallory pleaded.
"Not on your life!" the conductor
i answered, and he pulled the bell-rops
twice; In the distance, the-whietle an>
swered twice.
Mallory's temper flared again. Hi
cried: "This train doean't go another
step till I'm married!" He reached
up and pulled the bell-rope once; In
the distance the whistle sounded
once.
This was high treason, snd the con
ductor advanced on him threatening
ly, as he seized the cord onoe more.
"You touch that rope again, and I'll ? "
"Oh, no, you won't," said Mallory,
as he whisked a revolver from his
right pocket and jammed it Into the
conductor's watch-pocket. The con
ductor came to attention.
Then Mallory, standing with hie
right hand on military duty, put out
his left hand, and gave the word:
I "Now, parson."
He smiled still more as he heard
? Kathleen's voice walling: "But I can't
find my bracelet. Where's my braoe
let?"
THE HOLD-UP.
Mallory completed hie bliss, by giv
ing him Dr. Temple's brace of guns,
and establishing him as jailer, with
a warning: "Now, porter, don't take
your eye off 'em."
"Liordy, I won't bat an eyelid."
"If either of these lads coughs, put
a hole through both of 'em."
The porter chuckled: "My fingers is
Just a-itchin' fer them lovin' triggers."
Mallory pocketed two of the cap
tured revolvers, lest a need might
arise suddenly again. As he hurried
down the aisle, he was received with
cheers. The passengers gave him an
ovation, but he only smiled timidly,
and made haste to Marjorie's side.
She regarded him with such Idol
atry that he almost regretted his deed.
But this mood soon passed In her ex
cltement, and in a moment she was
surreptitiously showing him the
bracelet. \ He became an accessory
after the/ fact, and shared her ffullt,
for wheft she groaned with a sudden
droop: "She'll get It back!" he grimly
answered, "Oh, no she wont!** hoist
ed the window, and flung the bracelet
into a little pool by the aide of the
1 track, with a farewell: "Oood-bye,
trouble!"
\ As he drew his head In, a side
glanoe showed him that up near the
engine a third train-robber held the
mteerebly weary train crew in Mae.
lie found the oonduetor just about
I to pull the bell rope, to prooeed. The
conductor had forgotten ail about the
rest of the staff. 'Mmllolry too* him
aside. And told ^,W| the situation, then
turned to Marjode, said: "tacusejii
? ? ?
'yr f r : \ I A ,<
"Sllencel Silence!" Dr. Temple
commanded, and then: "Join 1x anda,
my children."
Marjorle shifted Snoozleums to hei
left arm, put her right hand Into MaV
lory's, and Dr. Temple, standing be
tween them, began to drone the
ritual.
When the old clergyman had done
his work, the young husband-at-last
graciously rescinded military law, re
called the artillery from the oonduo
tor's very midst, and remembering
Manila, smiled:
"You may fire wh,en ready, oonduo
tor."
The conductor's rage had cooled,
and he slapped the bridegroom on the
back with one hand, as he pulled the
cord with the other. The train began
to creak and tug and shift. The <Ung
dong of the bell floated murmurous*
ly back aa from a lofty steeple, and
the cllckety-cllck, ollck-cllckety-cUck
quickened and softened Into a'pleaa?
ant gossip, as the speed grew, and the
way was so smooth for the wheals
that they seemed to be spinning on
rails of velvet.
