"While Mrs. Wellington vni rum?
maging bar bruin for a Utting retort,
the door opened, and out stopped Miss
Gattle, aa wai.
She blushed furiously at sight of
the committee wsltlng to greet her,
but they repented their criticisms snd
tried to mske up for them by the ex?
cessive warmth with which they all
unclaimed st once: "Good morning,
Mrs. Lathrop!"
"Good morning, who?** said Anne,
then blushed yet redder: "Oh, 1 can t
seem to get used to that name! 1 j
hope I hsren't kept you waiting?"
"Oh, not at all!" tbe women Insist- 1
ad, and Anne fled to number six, re
membered that this was co longer .
her home, and moved on to number
one. Here the porter was Just finish- ,
lng his restoring tasks, and laying I
aside with some diffidence two gar?
ments which Anne hastily stuffed Into
her own valise.
Meanwhile Ma-Jorle was pushing
Mrs. Wellington ahead:
*Tou go In first, Mrs. Wellington."
"You go first. I nave no husband
waiting for me,'* said Mrs. Welling?
ton.
"Oh, I Insist," said Marjorie.
"I couldn't think of It," persisted
Mrs. Wellington. "I won't allow you."
And then Mrs Whltcomb pushed
them both aside: "Pardon me, won't
you? I'm getting off at Reno."
So am I," gasped Mrs. Welling?
ton, rushing forward, only to be faced
by the slsm of the door and tbe click
of the key. She whirled back to de?
mand of Marjorie: Did you ever hear
of such Impudence?"
T never did ."
Til never be ready for Reno," Mrs.
Wellington welled, "and I haven't bad
my breakfast."
"You'd better order it In advance."
said Merjorle. "it takes that chef an
hour to b ill an egg three minutes."
"1 will, if I can over get my face
washed," sighed Mrs. Wellington.
And now Mrs. Auno Lathrop, arter
much hesitation, called timidly, "Por?
ter?porter?please!"
"Yes?miss?missus!" he amended.
"Will you call my?" she gulped?
**my busband?"
"Yes, ma'am," tho porter chuckked,
and putting his grinning head D at
the men's door, be bowed to Ira and
ssld: "Kxcuse me, but you are sent
for by tho lady in mm.her one."
Ashtcn slapped him on the back
and roared: "Oh, you married man!'

As Wedgewood stropped an old fash?

was putting up his safety equipment:
**I say, old party, ure those safety
rssors safe? Can't you really cut
yourself?"
"Cut everything but hair." said Ash
ton, pointing to his wounded chin.
Mai lory put out bis hand: "Wjuld

Mallory acknowledged the greeting,
and nobod offbaiutadly: 1 n> lbs way,
how's she running '
The conductor answered even moro
offhandedly: "About two hours late?
and losln'."
Mallory was transfixed with a new
fear: "Good Lord, my transport sails
at sunrise."
"Oh, we ought to make 'Frisco by
midnight, anyway."
"Midnight. > nd sail at daylight!"
"Unless we lose a little more time."
Mallory realized that every new day
managed to create Its own anxieties.
With the regularity of a milkman,
each morning left a fresh crisis on
hla doorstep.
CHAPTER XXXIV.
The Complete Dlvorcer.
The other passengers were growing
nervous with their own troubles. The
next stop was Reno, and In spite ot
all the wtt that is heaped upon the
town, It is a solemn place to those
who must go there In purgatorial pen?
ance for matrimonial error.
Some honest souls regard such di?
vorce-emporiums as dens of evil,
where the wicked make a mockery ot
the sacrament and assail the founda?
tions of society, by undermining the
home. Other equally honest souls,
believing that marriage Is a human
institution whose mishaps and mis
takes should be rectified as far as
possible, regard the divorce courts as
cities of refuge for Ill-treated or ill
mated women and men whose lives
may be saved from utter ruination by
the intervention of high-minded
judges.
But, whichever view Is right, the
ordeal by divorce is terrifying enough
to the poor sinners or martyrs who
must undergo it.
Little Jimmle Wellington turned
pale, and stammered, as he tried to
ask the conductor casually:
"What kind of a place la that
Reno?"
The conductor, somewhat cynical
from close association with the di?
vorce-mill aud its grist, grinned:
'That depends on what you're leav?
ing behind. Most folks seem to gel
enough ot it in about six months."
Theu be went, his way, leaving Well?
ington red, agape and perplexed. The
tioublc with Wellington was that he
had brought along^ what he was leav?
ing behind. Or, as Ashton irupudom..
Observedi "You ought to enjoy y
residence there, Wellington, with yoi r
Wife on hand."

Tho stranger had got on at an
earlier atop and worked his way
through tho triiJn to tho ear named
"Snowdrop " Wellington was his drat 1
victim here, His pushing manner,
the almost eulturedlke rapacity of his
gleaming eyea, and the very vui

Little Jimmle Wellington, hot in
pursuit of Ashton, found himself
checked In spite ot himself ; in splto

Wellington looked from the crowded
card to the zealous face. "Divorce
Outfitters, eh? 1 don't quite get you."
"Veil, In the foist place?"
" Tin- foiat place,' eh? You're from
New York.''
"Yes, Olitchinally. How did you
know it? By my feahlonable cloth
ink?"
"Y'es," laughed Wellington. "But
you say I need you. How?"
"Veil, you've got maybe some beg
getch, some trunks?yes?"
"Yes."
"Veil, in the foist place, I am an
expressman. I deliver 'em to your
address?yes? Vere iss it?"
"I haven't got any yet."
"Also 1 am aaaressman. Do you
vant it a nice hoteln?or a fine house?
?or an apartment??or maybe a

you make a residence?"
"Six months."
"No longer?"
"Not a minute."
'Take a fine house, den. I got some
beauties just wacatod."
"For a year??no thanks."
"All the leases in Reno run for six
months only."
"Well, I'd like to look around a lit?
tle first."
"Good. Don't forget us. You come
out here for six months. You vant
maybe a good quick divorce?yes?"
"The quickest 1 can get."
"Do you vant it confidential? or
very nice and noisy?"
"What's that9"
"Ve are press agents and also sup?
press agents. Some likes 'em one
way, some likes 'em anudder. Vlch
do you vant it?"
"Quick and quiet."
"Painless divorce is our specialty.
If you pay me an advence deposit
now, I file your claim de minute de
train stops and your own vife don't
know you're divorced."
"I'll think it over," said Wellington,
rising with resolution.
"Don't forget us. Baumann and
Blumen. Satisfaction guaranteed or
your wife refunded. Avoid substl
toots." And then, seeing that he could
not extract any cash from Little Jim?
mle, Mr. Baumann descended upon
Mallory, who was Just finishing his
shave. Laying his hand on Mallory's
arm, he began:
"Excoose, pleass. Can I fit you out
vit a nice divorce?"
"Divorce? ? me! ? that's good,"
laughed Mallory at tho vision of it.
Then a sudden idea struck him. it
took ro great, genius to see that Mr.
Baumann was not a clergyman, but
there were other marriers to he hath
"You e" >n't perform marriages, do
you?" ho aaki d,
Mr. I aun ann drew ? himself up:
MWho yi i don't? Ain't 1 a justice

MalJorj put ort his hand in we!

him. H< had s license for Chicago,
but Chi? ? v., i fj p away: "Do l

"She I ro'l in u< d > and i h i ho
never b< en married, i ither."
this simple statement seemed t
astound Mr. Baumann:
v
Reno!?-ol, ol, oi! It ha n't been
done yet, but it might ho."
Mallory looked bim over and a
twinge of distaste disturbed him:
"You furnish the license, but?er?ah
?Il there any chance of a Clergyman
?a Christian clergyman?being at the
.station?"
"Vy do you vant it a cloigyman?
Can't i do it just as good? Or a nice
fat alderman I can got you?"
Mallory pondered: "I don't think
she'd like anything hut a clergyman."
"Veil," Baumann confessed, "a lady
|g liable to be particular about her
foist marriage. Anyvay 1 sell you do
license."
"All right."
Mr. Baumann whipped out a port?
folio full of documenta, and as he
searched tham, philosophised: "A
man ought alvays to carry a good mar.
rlHRo license It might be he should
Deed it in a hurry " He tool: a largo
iron seal lroin his side pocket and
?tamped the paper and then, with
fountain pen poised, pleaded: "Vat Is
the names, pleaaa?"
"Not ho loud'" Mallory whispered.
Baumann put his linger to his noaa,
wisely: "I see. it p, a confidential
marriage. Hit down once "
When he had Baked Mallory the
necessary QUOBtlona and taken hit) fe?>.
he passed over the document by
which the sovereign state of Nevada
graciously permitted two souls to be
made more or leaa one in tbo eyes or
the law,
"Here you are." unld Mr Baumann.
"Vit dal you can >r,,t married anyvere
In Nevada."
Mallory realized that Nevada would
be ?i thing ol lh? p hi in a few hours
more and be aak< <i:
"It's no good in California?"
"Himmel, no. In California you bot'
gotta go and be examined."
"Examined!" Mallory gasped, in
dire alarm.
"Vit questions, poissonally," Mr.
Haumann hastened to explain.
"Oh!"
"In Nevada," Baumann insinuated,
still hopeful, "I could mary y?u my?
self?now, right here."
"Could you marry us In this smok?
ing room?"
"In a cattle car. If you vant it"
"It's not a bad idea," ?ald Mallory.
"I'll let you know."
Seeing Marjorie coming down tho
aisle, he hastened to her, and hugged
her good-mc ling with a new conti?
dence.
Dr. and Mrs. Temple, who had re?
turned to their berth, witnessed this
greeting with amazement. After the
quarrel of the night before surely
some explanation should have been
overheard, but the puzzling Mallorys
flew to caeh other's arms without a
moment's delaj'. The mystery was ex?
citing the passengere to such a peint
that they were vowing to ask a few
questions point blank. Nobody had
quite dared to approach either of
them, but frank curiosity was prefer?
able to nervous prostration, and the
secret could not be kept much longer.
Fellow-passengers have some rights.
Not even a stranger can be permitted
to outrage their curiosity with Im?
punity forever.
Seeing them together, Mrs. Temple
watched the embrace with her daily
renewal of joy that the last night's
quarrel had not proved fatal. She
nudged her husband:
"See, they're making up again."
Dr. Temple was moved to a violent
outburst for him: "Well, that tho
darnedest bridal couple?I only said
darn, my dear."

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
bj local applications, as they cannot

There is only one way to cure deaf?
ness, and that i.s by constitutional
remedies. Deafness is caused by an
Inflamed condition of the mucous lin?
ing of tin- Kustaehian Tube. When
this tube Is Inflamed you have a rumb?
ling sound or Imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed. Deafness
is the result, and unless the Inflam
mati 'U can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi?
tion, hearing will be destroyed for?
ever; nine cases out of ten are cause d
by Catarrh, which is nothing but an
Inflamed condition of the mucous
surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that cannot be cured by
