Jealousy Comet Aboard. There was an air of domestic peace tn the observation room, where Mai lory and Marjorie had been left to themselves for some time. Hut the pence was like the ominous bush tbat precedes a tempest. Mallory was so happy with every? thing coming bis way. tbat be was even making up with Snoozleums, stroking the tatted coat with one hand and holding up his newspaper with the other. He did not know all that wan coming his way. The bltssrul si? lence was broken first by Marjorie: "How do you spell Utah??with a i jr "Utah begins with You." he said? and rather HkeU hie wit, listened for ?ome recognition, and rose to get it, but she waved him away. "Don't bother me, hooey. Can t you see I'm busyt" Ha kissed her hair and sauntered back, dividing his attention between Bnooaleums and the teo-lnnlng game. And now there was a small commo? tion In the smoking room. Through the glass along the corridor the men caught sight of the girl who had got on at Green River. Ashton saw her first and she saw blm. "There she goes*'* Ashton hissed to the others, "look quick! There's the nectarine " "My word! She's a little bit of all right. Isn't she?" Even Dr. Temple sfared at her with approval: "Dear little thing, Isnt ?her The girl, very consciously uncon? scious of the admiration, moved de? murely along, with eyes downcast, but at such an angle that she could take In the sensation she was creating; she went aloog picking up n tares aa If they were bouquets.

"<?o"d night!" he sighed to himself, and began to mop bis trow with Bnoozleuras. "You put it on ray arm,'* said Kath? leen, with a moonlight sigh, "and I've always worn it." "Always?" "Always! no matter whom I was engaged to." The desperate wretch, who had not dared even to glance in Marjorie s di? rection, somehow thought he saw a straw of self-defeuse. "You were en? gaged to three or four others when 1 was at West Pclnt." "I may have been engaged to the others," said Kathleen, raoon-eyelng him, "but I always liked you best. Clifford?er, Tommy?I mean Harry." "You got me at last." Kathleen fenced back at this: "Well, I've no doubt you have had a dozen affairs slneo." "Ob, no! My heart has only known one real love." He threw this over her head at Marjorle, but Kathleen seized It, to bis greater confusion: "Oh, Harry, how sweet of you to say It It makes me feel positively faint," and she swooned bis way, but he shoved a chair forward and let ber collapse Into that. Thinking and hop? ing that she was unconscious, be made ready to escape, but she caught him by the coat, and moaned: "Where am I?" and be growled back: "In tbe Observation Car!" Kathleen's life and enthusiasm re? turned without delay: "Fancy meet? ing you again! 1 could just scream." "So could t" "You must come up In our car and see mamma." "Is Ma-mamma with you?" Mai lory stammered, on tbe verge of Im? becility. "Oh, yea. Indeed, we're going around the world." "Don't let me deta.n you." "Papa Is going round the world also." "Is papa on this train, too?" At last something seemed to em? barrass her a trifle: "No, papa went on ahead. Mamma hopes T? overtake him. But papa Is a very good trav? eler." Tben ?be changed the subject. "Do come and meet mamma. It would cheer her up so. She Is so fond of you. Only this morning she was say? ing, Of all the boys you were ever engaged to, Kathleen, the one I like most of all was Edgar?I mean Clar? ence-?er?-Harry Mallory." "Awfully kind of her." "You must come and see her?she's some stouter now!" "Oh, is she? Well, that's good." Mallory was too angry to be sane, and too helpless to take advantage of his anger. He wondered how he could ever have cared for this molasses and mucilage girl. He remembered* now that she had always had these same cloying ways. She had always pawed him and. like everybody but the pawers, he "hated pawlhg7 It would have been bad enough at any time to have Kathleen banging on his coat, straightening his tie, leaning close, smiling up in his eyes, losing hin. his balance, recapturing him every time he edged away. Hut with Marjorle as the grim witness it was maddening. He loathed and abominated Kath? leen Llewellyn, and If she had only been a man, he could cheerfully nave beaten ber to a pulp and chucked her out of the window. Hut because she was a helpless little baggage be bad to be as polite as be could while she sat and tore his plans to pieces, em? bittered Marjorie s heart against him, and either ended all hopes of their marriage, or furnished an everlasting rancor to be recalled In every quar? rel to their dying; day Oh, etiquette, what injustices are endured In thy name! Bo there he sat, sweating his soul'a blood, and able only to spar for time and wonder when tbe gong would ring. And now she was off on a new tack: "And where are you bound for, Harry, dear?" Tbe Philippines." he said, and for the first time there was something beautliul In their remoteness. "Perhaps we shall cross the Pacific on the same hsjal" The first sincere smllo he bad ex? perienced came to hin?. "I go on an army transport, fortu -unfortunately ." "Oh. I Just love soldiers t'ouldn t mamma and I go on the transport7 Munin h Is far] f<>nd of soldiers, too " "I'm afrnb It couldn't bo arranged " "Too Ii,id, hut peehapf WS cart stop off and pay roe.

"< >niv about t wo thousand " "Which one will you I s on?" "Ill tu on tin third Jroui the left," said Mallory, who neither knew nor cared what he was saying. Marjorie had endured all that ehe could stand. She rose in a tightly leashed fury. "I'm afraid I'm in the way." Kathleen turned in surprise. Bhe ht>d not noticed that anyone was near. Mallory went out of his head com? pletely. "Oh, don't go?for heaven's sake don't go," he appealed to Mar? jorie. "A friend of yours?" said Kathleen, bristling. "No, not a friend," in a chaotic tan? gle, "Mrs. ? "Miss?"Miss?Kr?er? er?" Kathleen smiled: "Delighted to meet you, Miss Ererer." "The pleasure is all mine," Mar? jorie Faid, with an acid smile. "Have you known Harry long?" ifJd Kathleen, jealously, "or are you Just acquaintances on the train?" "We're Just acquaintances on the train!" "I used to know Harry very well? very well inded." "So I should Judge. You won't mind If I leave you to talk over old ! times together?" "How very sweet of you." "Oh, don't mention it." "But. Marjorie," Mallory cried, as she turned away. Kathleen started at the ardor of his tone, and gasped: "Marjorie! Then he?you?" "Not at all?not in the least," said Marjorie. At this crisis the room was sudden? ly inundated with people. Mrs. Whit comb, Mrs. Wellington, Mrs. Temple and Mrs. Fosdlck, all trying to look like bridesmaids, danced in, shout? ing: "Here they come! Make way for the bride and groom!"
