"To? bad," Mallory condoled, per?
functorily, then with eudden eager?
ness, and a trial at Indifference: "1 j

"Of course, you dear fellow. 1
wouldn't be parted from It for worlds." |
Marjorle gnashed her teeth, but
Kathleen could not hear that She j
gushed on: "And now we have met ,

her arm over the back of the eeat
ooquettlshly, and Marjorle made a
desperate lunge at It. but missed,
since Kathleen, flndtnf: that Mallory
did not pursue tho fugitive hand,
brought It back at once and yielded
It up:
"There?be careful, sorvecae might

Mallory took her by .no wrist In a
gingerly manner, n-.? eald, "So that's

Mallory caught Marjoiie'a accusing
aye and lost his head. He made a
ferocious effort to snatch the bracelet
off. When this onset felled, he had
recourse to entreaty: "Just allp It
off." Kathleen shook her head tantal
lslngly. Mallory urged more strenu?
ously: "Please let me eee It."
Kathleen shook her head with so?
phistication. "You'd never give It
back. You'd pass It along to that?
train-acquaintance."
How can you think such a thingV
Mallory demurred, and once more
'made hie appeal: "Please, please, slip
It off."
"What on earth makee you so anx?
ious?" Kathleen demanded, with sud?
den suspicion. Mallory was stumped,
till an Inspiration came to him: "I'd
like to?to get you a nicer one. That
one Isn't good enough for you."
Here was an argument that Kath?
leen could appreciate. "Oh, how sweet
of ycu, Harry," she gurgled, and had
the bracelet down to her knuckles,
when a sudden Instinct checked her:
"When you bring the other, you can
have this."
She pushed the circlet back, and
Mallory'a hopes sank at the gesture.
He grew frantic at being eternally
frustrated In his plans He caught
Kathleen's arm and, while bis words
pleaded, his hands tugged: "Please?
please let me take It?for the measure ,
?you know!"
? Kathleen read the determination In
his fierce eyes, and .*ue struggled fu- ;
rtously: "Why, Richard?Chauncey!
?er?Billy! I'm amazed at you! Let
go or I'll scream'.''
She rose end. twisting her arm
from his grasp, confronted him with
bewildered anger. Mallory cast to?
ward Marjorle a look of surrender
and despair. Marjorle laid her hand
on her throat and In pantomime sug?
gested that Mallory should throttle
Kathleen, as he had promised.
But Mallory wan incapable of fur?
ther violence; and when Kathleen,
with all her coquetry, bent down and
murmured: "You are a very naughty
boy, but come to breakfast and we'll
talk It over.' be was so addled that
he answered: "Thanks, but I never
eat breakfast."
CHAPTER XXXVII.
Down Brakes! '
Just as Kathleen flung her head in
baffled vexation nnd Madory started
to slink hack to Marjorle. with an?
other defeat, there came an abrupt
shock as if tha' gigantic child to
whom our railroad trains are toys,
had reached down and laid violent
hold on the Trans American In full
career
Its smooth, swift Might became sud?
denly stich a spasm of Jar*, shivers
and thuds that Maiiorv cried:
"We re off the track."
fie wae sent flopping flown the aisle
like a bolster hurled through the car.
He broi ght up with a sickening slam
across the seat Into which MarJorla
had been Jounced back with a breath?
taking slam. And then Kathleen
came (lying backwards and landed in
a heap on both of them.
Several of the other passengers
were Just returning from gfsatfast
snd they wero shot and scattered all
over the car as If a great chain of hu
man head* had burnt.
Women screamed, men yelled, and
then while they WOTS ?tili struggling
against the Rents and one another, the
trsln came to a halt.
"Thank (lod. we stopped In time!"
Msllory gasped, as he tried to disen?
gage himself snd Marjorle from Kalk?
iges)
The passengers began to regain
their courage with their equilibrium.
Little Jlmmle Wellington had flown
the whole length of the car, clinging
to his wlfo as If she were Prancesca
da Rimini, and he Paolo, flitting
through Inferno. The flight ended at
the stateroom door with such a thump
that Mra. Fosdlck was sure a detec?
tive had come for her at last, and
with a battering ram.
But when Jlmmle got back breath
enough to talk, he remembored the
train stopping excitement of the day
before and called out:
"Has Mrs. Mallory lost that pup
again?"
Everybody laughed uproariously at
thla. People will laugh at anything
or nothing when they have been
frightened almost to death and sud?
denly relieved of anxiety.
Everybody waa cracking a Joke at
Marjoi le's expense. Everybody felt a
good-natured grudge against her for
being such a mystery. The car was
ringing with hilarity, when the por?
ter came stumbling in and paused at
the door, with eyes all white, hands
waving frantically, and lips flapping
like flannel, in a vain effort to speak.
The passengers stopped laughing at
Marjorle, to laugh at tho porter. Ash
ton sang out:
"What'i the matter with you, por?
ter? Are you trying to crow?"
Everybody roared at this, till the
porter finally managed to articulate:
"T-t-t-traln rob-rob-robbers!"
Silence shut down as li the whole
crow* had been smitten with paraly?
sis. From somewhere outside and
ahead came a pop-popping as of fire?
crackers. Everybody thought, "Re?
volvers!" The reports were mingled
with barbaric yella that turned the
marrow in every bone to snow.
These regions are full of historic
terror. All along the Nevada route
the conductor, the brakemen and old
travelers had pointed out scene after
scene where the Indians had slaked
the thirst of the arid land with white
man's blood. Ashton, who had trav
eled thla way many times, had made \
himself fascinatingly horrifying the I
evening before and ruined several
breakfasts that morning In the dining
ggfi by regaling the passengers with
stories of pioneer ordeals, men and
women massacred in burning wagons, I
or dragged away to fiendish cruelty
SSI obscene torture, staked out supine
on burning wastes with eyelids cut
off, bound down within reach of rat-1
tlesnnkes, subjected to every misery
that human deviltry could devise.
Ashton had brought his fellow pas?
sengers to a state of ecstatic excit
ability, and, like many a recounter of ,
burglar stories at night, had tuned 1
his own nerves to high tension.
The violent stopping of the train,
the heart-shaking yells and shots out- !
side, found the passengers already apt
to respond without delay to the ap- (
peals of fright. After the first hush
of dread, came the reaction to panic. 1
Each passenger showed his own i
panic in his own way. Ashton whirled
round and round, like a horse with
the blind staggers, then bolted down '
the aisle, knocking aside men and .
women. He climbed on a seat, pulled j
down an upper berth, and, scrambling
into it, tried to shut it on hlms* If,
Mrs. Whltcomb was so frightened that
Bh* assailed Ashton with fury and
seizing his feet, dragged him back In?
to the aisle, and beat him with her
fists, demanding thut he protect her
and save her for Sammy's sake.
Mrs. Fosdick, rushing out of her
stateroom and not finding her lus?
cious-eyed husband, laid hold of Jlm?
mle Wellington and ordered him to
go to tho rescue of her spouse. Mrs.
Wellington tore her hand9 loose, cry?
ing: "Let him go, madam. He has a
wife of his own to defend."
Jlmmle was trying to pour out dy?
ing messages, and only si uttering, for.
getting that he had put Ms watch In
his mouth to hide it, though its chain
was still attached to his waistcoat.
Anno Cattle, who had read much j
about Chinese atrocities to mission- (
nries, gave herself up to doath, yet re- I
Jolced greatly that she had provided
a ttmely man to lean on and should
not havo to enter pgfgdtgg a spinster,

was hogging her llrst heathen to Join

Mrs. Tamplg wrung her twitching

"Oh, Walter, Walter, won't you
please eay a prayer??a good strong

Hut tho preacher was so contused

Mnrlorle was trying at tho tame
time to c( rupel Mallory to crawl under
a sent and to find a place to hldo
Snoozleuma Whom ?he was warning
not to pay a word. Snoozleums, un?
derstanding only that his mistress
was In boine distress, refused to stay
in his basket and kept offering bis
services and his attentions.
; Suddenly Marjorie realized that
Kathleen was trying to taint In Mal
iory's anus, and forgot everything else
in a determined effort to prevent her.
After the first blood-sweat of abject
fright had begun to cool, the passen?
gers came to realize that the invaders
were not after lives, but loot. Tben
came a panic of miserly effort to con?
ceal treasure.
Kathleen, finding herself banished
from Mallory's protection, ran to Mrs.
Whitcomb, who had given A6hton up
as a hopeless task.
"What shall we do, oh, what, oh
what shall we do, dear Mrs. Welling?
ton?" she cried.
"Don't you dare call me Mrs. Well?
ington!" Mrs. Whitcomb screamed;
then she began to flutter. "But we'd
better hide what we can. I hope the
rah-rah-robbers are ge gentlemen
men."
She pushed a diamond locket con?
taining a small portrait of Sammy In?
to her back hair, leaving part of the
chain dangling. Then she tried to
stuff a large handbag into her stock?
ing.
Mrs. Fosdlck found her husband at
last, for he made a wild dash to
her side, embraced her, called her his
wife and deh>d all tils powers of Ne?
vada to tear them apart. He had a
brilliant idea. In order to save his
fat wallet from capture, he tossed It
through an open window. It fell at
the feet of one of the robbers as he
ran along the side of the car, shoot?
ing at such heads as were put out of
windows. He picked It up and dropped
It into the feed-bag he had swung at
his side. Then running on, he clam?
bered over the brass rail of the ob?
servation platform and entered the
rear of the train, as his confederate,
driving the conductor ahead of him,
forged his way aft from the front,
while a third masquerader aligned the
engineer, the fireman, the brakeman
and the baggagemen.

CHAPTER XXXVill.
Hands Up!
All this time Lieutenant Mallory
had been thinking as hard as an of?
ficer In an ambuscade. His harrowing
; experiences and incessant defeats of
I the past days had unnerved him and
shattered his self-confidence. He was J
not afraid, but intensely disgusted. He
sat absent-mindedly patting Marjorle
on tho back and repeating:
I T,T)on1 worry, Honey; they're not
going to hurt anybody. The*- don't
want anything but our money. Don't
worry, I won't let 'em hurt you."
But he could not shake off a sense
of nausea. He felt himself a repre?
sentative of the military prowess of
the country, and here he was as help?
less as a man on parole.
The fact that Mallory was a sol?
dier occurred to a number of the pas?
sengers simultaneously. They had
been trained by early studies in those
beautiful works of fiction, the school
histories of tfte United States, and by
I many Fourths of July, to believe that
; the American soldier is an invincible
j being, who has never been defeated
and never known fear.
They surged up to Mallory in a
j wave of hope. Dr. Temple, being near
, est, spoke first. Having learned by
experience that his own prayers were
not always answered as he wished,
1 had an Impulse to try somo weapon
j he had never used.
"Young man," he pleaded across the
back of a seat, "will you kindly lend
, me a gun?"
j Mallory answered sullenly: "Mine Is
in my trunk on the train ahead, damn
it. If I had it I'd have a lot of fun."
i Mrs. Whitcomb had an inspiration.
I She ran to her Leith, and came back
I with a tiny sliver-plated revolver.
"I'll lend you this. Sammy gave It
to me to protect myself in Nevada!"
Mallory smiled at the .22-cailber
toy, broke it open, and displayed an
empty cylinder.
"Where ar:> tho pills that go with
it?" he said.
"Oh, Sammy wouldn't let mo have
-any bullets. Tie was afraid I'd hurl
myself."
Mallory returned it, with a bow. "It
would make an excellent nut-cracker."
"Aren't you going to use it?" Mrs.
Whitcomb gasped.
"It's empty," Mallory explained.
"But the robbers don't know that!
Couldn't you Just overawe them with
it?"
"Not with that" said Mallory, "un?
less they died laughing."
Mrs. Wellington pushed forward:
"Then what the devil are you going to
do when they come?"
Mallory answered meekly: "If they
request it, I shall hold up my hands."
"And you won't resist:" Kathleen
gasped.
"Not a resist."
"And ho calls himself a soldier!"
she sneered.
Mallory writhed, but all ho said
was: "A soldier doesn't have to he a
Jackass. I know just enough about
guns not to monkey with tho wrong
end Of 'em."
"Coward!" she flung at him. He
turned white, but Marjorle red, and
made a leap at her, crying: "lie's tho
bravest man In the world. You say a
word, and I'll scratch your eyei out"
This reheartened Mallory a little,
and ho laughed nervously, as ho re?
strained her. Kathleen retreated out
of danger, with a parting shot: "Our
engagement i* off "
? Thanks," Mallory said, and put out
hlH hand: "Will you return tho brace?
let ?"
I never return such things." said
Kathleen
The scene was ao painful and such
1 an anachroni m that Dr Temple tried
? to renew a more pressing subject:
"It's your opinion then that we d best
surrender?"
"Of course?since we can't run."
Wedgewood broke in impatiently:
"Well, I consider it a dastardly out?
rage. I'll not submit to it. I'm a
subject of His Majesty the?"
"You're a subject of His Majesty
the Man Behind tho Gun," said Mal?
lory.
"I shall protest, none the less,
Wedgewood insisted.
Mallory grinned a little. "Have you
any last message to send home to
your mother?"
Wedgewood was a trifle chilled at
i this. "D-don't talk of such things," he
i said.
j And by this time the train-robbers
had hastily worked their way through
the other passengers, and reached the
frantic inhabitants of the sleeper,
"Snowdrop."
"Hands up! Higher!! Handa up!"
"With a true sense of the dramatic,
the robbers sent ahead of them the
most hair-raising yells. They arrived
simultaneously at each end of the
aisle, and with a few short sharp com?
mands, straightened the disorderly
rabble into a beautiful line, with all
palms aloft and all eyes wide and
wild.
One robber drove ahead of him the
j conductor and the other drove in Mr.
! Manning, whom he had found trying
i to crawl between the shelves of the
linen-closet.
The marauders were apparently
cattlemen, from their general get-up.
Their hats were pulled low, and Just
beneath their eyes they bad drawn
big black silk handkerchiefs, tied be?
hind the ears and hanging to the
braaat,
Over their shoulders they had slung
the feed-bags of their horses, to serve
as receptacles for their swag. Their
shirt3 were chalky with alkali dust.
Their legs were encased In heavy
chaparejos, and they carried each a
pair of well-used Colt's revolvers that
looked as big as artillery.
Wten the passengers had shoved
and Jostled Into line, one of the men
Jabbed the conductor In the back with
the nuzzle of his gun, and snarled:
"Now speak your little piece, like I
learned It to you."

Chief Engineer, Moncure, of tin
South <'ar<?iina Western Railway, \v is
hi Sumter last Wednesday for the
purpose of conferring with Alderman
J. P. Booth, chairman of the pub?
lic works committee, and Health Of?
ficer io. i. Reardon, in regard to
drainage of the right of way of that
transportation line within the city
limits, in the course of building up
the embankment of the railway, from
a point just south <>f Turkey ('reek
drainage canal to a point at the ex?
treme end of the right of way through
a i ranch back of the property of the
residences of Miss Roach and Mr.
Bland, the railway company has
changed the natural run of the
branch into which the city empties
the water from a large ditch cross?
ing North Main street from Live Oak
Btreet, Which drains North Main and
other .stree ts, beyond Warren street.
Water was backed up in the city
ditches, and over a considerable area
of land near the railway embank?
ment and in the cut.-; along side the
railway, within the city limits.
Health Officer io. I. Reardon took
up the matter with President Bonsai
who sent Chief Engineer Moncure
here to look into the matter. These
three official! Visited the districts em?
braced in the complaint with the re?
sult that Mr. Moncure very cheerfully
agreed to immediately remedy con?
ditions complained of by putting in
ample drainage facilities, to carry off
tin- water into Turkey creek canal.
Mr. Moncure stated that the track
laying had progressed to a point at
or about the plantation of Mr. L.
It. Praser lust Saturday. and that
from one-half to three-quarters of a
mile of track was being put down
each day.
The South Carolina Western will
be running into Sumter at this rate
of progress, early in September.
The automatic drip cans containing
keroslne oil which the board of health
and city council authorized the health
ollicer to place in the numerous sand
traps or "catch basins" of the storm
water drain pipes have proven a suc?
cess and a convenient and sure moth- |
od of preventing the breeding of
mosqultos in the pipes and sand I
traps. One drop of oil every three ;
minutes is dropped into the traps, j
Health Officer Reardon says that he
was examining the sand traps Th?rs
them where he had. after rain, per?
mitted the drip cans to remain empty
for eight days, as a tost, he found
that the water in the traps were
thickly Impregnated with mosquito
larvae. An immediate "dosing" of
oil killed every "wiggle tail." This
test proves thai sand traps without
oil arc prolific sources for mosquito
breeding und this was the object of
the test.
Drip cans ait' being placed in the
new sand traps recently built in the
Hampton and Harby avenue drainage
pipe lines.
All of the old storm drain pipe
lines, without "catch basins" or sand
traps, which are being taken up and
cleaned out, were found choked with
dirt ami practically useless for effi?
cient drainage purposes.
Examination of pipe lines with sand
traps proved that those equipped with
traps work "o. k ." but the traps must
be cleaned at intervals.
