He was followed by Little Jinarnie, who had not quite reached his wife when the stopping of the train put an end to his excuse for chivalry. He was regretfully mutn- bling: It would have been such a good slaansh to stave my lite's wite-1 mean my—I don't know • what t mean." He sank into a chair and ordered .o drink; then suddenly remembered his vow, and with greet heroism, rescind- ed the order. Mallory, finding that the train was checked just before he reached the conductor, saw that offlcial'e bewil- dered wrath at the stoppage and had a fearsome intuition that Marjorie had Somehow done the deed. He hur- ried back to - theobservation room, where he found her charging up and 'down, still distrauget. He paused at a safe distance and said: "The train has stopped, my dear.. Somebody rang the bell' "t . guess somebody did!" Marjorie 'answered, with a proud toss of the head. ''Where's the conductime" ' "He's looking for the fellow that pulled the rope." "You go tell him to back up—and 'slowly, too." "No, thank you!" said Mallory. He Vas a brave young man, but he was not bearding the conductors of stop- ped expresses. Already the conduc- tor's voice was heard in the snioking room, where he appeared with the! rush and roar of a Bashan bull, "Well!" he bellowed,• "which one of you guys pulled that roper' "It was nobody here, sir," Dr. Tem- ple meekly explained. The conductor transfixed him with a baleful glare: "I wouldn't believe a gambler ou oath. I bet you did it." "I assure you, sir," Wedgewood in- terposed "he didn't touch it. I was. iheah." The conductor 'waved him aside and charged into the observation room,. followed by all the nassengers In an awe-struck rabble. Here, too, the 1 conductor thundered: "Who pulled that rope? Speak up somebody." ' Slattery was about to sacrifice hime !Self to save Marjorie, but she met the: onductor's black rage with the with- ering contempt dL a young queen: "l, ulled the old rope. Whom did you 111)Pose?" ' The conductor almost dropped with 'apoplexy at Ending himself with no, body to vent his immense rage on, but this pink and white slip. "You!" the gulped, "well, what in— Say, in the name of—why, don't you know it's a penitentiary offense to stop a train this way?" Marjorie tossed her head a little: *igher, grew a little calmer: "What do I care? T. want you to back up." The conductor was reduced to a wet rag a feeble echo: "Back up— he train up?" "Yes, back the train up," Marjorie; answered, resolutely, "and go • slowly' till I tell you to stols" The conductor stared at•her a in-' meant, then whirled on Mallory: "Say,, what in hell's the matter with your' wife?" Mallory was saved from the prob- lem of answering by Marjorie's abrupt !change from a young Tsarina rebuk- Ing a serf, to a terrified mother. She lung out imploring palms and with a gush of tears pleaded: "Won't you please back up? My darling child fell off the train." The conductor's rage fell away 131 km instant. "Your child fell off the 'train!" he gasped. "Good Lord! HOW old was he?" With one hand he was groping for the bell cord to give the signal, with the other he opened the door to look back along the track. "He was two years old," Marjorie sobbed. "Oh, that's too bad!" the conductor groaned "What did he look like?" "He had a pink ribbon round his neck." "A pink ribbon—oh, the poor little fellow! the poor little fellow!" "And a long curly tail." The conductor swung round with a yell: "A curly tail!—your son?" "My dog!" Marjorie roared back at him. The conductor's voice cracked weakly as he shrialted; 'Your dog! You stopped this train for a fool dogr • "He want a fool dog," Marjorie , retorted facing him down, "lie knows , more than you do." The conductor threw up his hands: "Well, don't you women beat—" He studied Marjorie as if she were some :curious freak of nature. Suddenly an ;idea struck into his daze; "Say, what ;kind of a dog was it?—a measly little cheese -hound ?" "He was a noble, beautiful soul twith wonderful eyes and adorable 'ears." ••1 The conduetor was growing weak- er and weaker: "Well, don't worry. 1 !got him. He's in the baggage car." Marjorie stared at him unbelieving- ly. The news seemed too gloriously :beautiful to be true. "He isn't dead— Snoozleums is not dead!" she cried, "he lives! He lives! You have saved ihim." And once more she flung her- self upon the conductor. He tried to 'bat her off like a gnat, and Mallory came to his rescue by dragging her away and shoving her into a chair. But she saw only the noble conductor: "Oh, you dear, good, kind angel. (let hini at paced "He stays in the baggage car," the 'conductor answered, firmly and as he supposed, finally. "But Snoozleums doesn't like bag - ;gage cars," Marjorie smiled. "He won't ride in one." "He'll ride in this one or I'll wring his neck." "You flend in • human flesh!"

He had donned an old frock coat with creases .like ruts from long exile an hie blink.

Little Jimmie woke With a start, yose.'haettlY to his' feet 'awl saluted, saying: "Present! Whosaid take the 'orders?" '7 did," said Lathrop, "Pm giving a party. Waiter, take the orders."

The porter shook his head sadly: "Nothin' but sot" drinks 'in Utah, gemmen." .5. groan went up from the club - members, and Lathrop groaned loud- est of all. •"Well, we've got to drink something. Take the orders. We'll all have stases Devine." Little Jinimie Wellington came to the rescue. "Don't do anything desperate, gen- tlemen," he said, with' a look of di- vine philanthropy. "The bar's closed, but Little Jimmie Wellington is here with the lifo preserver," From his hip -pocket lie produced a silver flask that looked to be big enough to carry a regiment through the Alps. it was greeted with a salvo, and Lathrop said to Jimmie: "I apologize for everything 1 have said—and thought— about you." He timed to the porter: "There ain't any law against giving this way, is there?" The porter grinned: "Not if you -all bribe the exercise -inspector." And he held out a glass for the bribe, mur- muring, "Don't git tired," as it was poured. He set it inside his sanctum - and then bustled round with ice -filled glasses and a siphon. When Little Jimmie offered of the •Ilask to Dr. Temple, the' clergyman put out his hand with a politely hor- rified: "No, thank you." Lathrop frightened him with a sad- den comment: "Look at that gesture! Doc, I'd almost swear you were a par - 'son." • Mallory whirled on him with the eyes of a hawk about to pounce, and "The very idea!" was the best dis- claimer Dr. Temple could manage, suddenly finding himself suspected. Ashton put in with, "The only way to disprove it, Doc, is to join us." . The poor old clergyman, too deeply :involved in his deception to brave confession now, decided to do and dare all, He stammered, "ffir—ah-- ;certainly," and held out his hand Eoi ;Itiis share of the poison. Little Jim- mie winked at the others and almost filled the glass. The innocent doctor bowed his thanks. When the porter reached him and prepared to fill the remainder of the • glass from the ,siphon, the parson waved him aside :with a misguided caution: "No, thanks. I'll not mix them." Mallory turned away with a sigh: :"He takes his straight. He's no par - !son." Then they forgot the doctor in curiosity as to Lathrop's sudden spasm of generosity—with Welling- ton's liquor. Wedgewood voiced the general curiosity when he said: "'What's the old woman -hater up to now?" • "Woman -hater?" laughed Ira. "It's :the old story. I'm going to fellow - 'Mallory's example—marriage." "I hope you succeed," said Mallory.' "Wherever did you pick up • the bride?" said Wedgewood, mellowing' with the long glass in his hand. • "Brides are easy," said Mallory, with surprising cynicism. "Where do You get the parson?" • "Hang the parson," Wedgewood re- 'peated, "Who's the gel?" • "Ill bet I know who she is," Ash- ton interposed; ''it's that nectarine of damsel who got on at Green River," "Not the same!"

If you have a human :heart in your breast, hear my pray - The conducter surrendered uncon- ditionally: "Oh, Lord, all right, all eight. I'll lose my job, but if you'll keep quiet, 511 bring him to you." And he slunk out meekly, followed by the ;passengers, who were shaking their heads in wonderment at this most amazing feat of this most amazing bride. • When they were alone once more, ;Marjorie, as radiant as April after a storm, turned her sunshiny smile on Mallory: "Isn't it glorious to have our little Snoozleums alive and well?" t But Mallory was feeling like a March day. He answered with sleety chill: "You care more for the dog than you do for me." "Why shouldn't I?" Marjorie an- swered with wide eyes, "Snoozleums never would have brought Inc on a wild goose elopement like this. Heav- en knows he didn't want to come." Mallory repeated the indictment: "You love a dog better than you love your husband." "My what?" Marjorie laughed, then 'ehe spoke with lofty condescension: "Harry Mallory, If you're going to be jealous of that dog, 111 never marry you the longest day I live." , "So you'll let a dog come between us?" he demanded. i "I wouldn't give up Snoozleums for la hundred husbands," she retorted. • "Pin glad to know it in time," Mal- lory said. "You'd better give me back that wedding ring." Marjorie's heart stopped at this, but her pride was in arms. She drew Ihereelf up, slid the ring from her tin- ker, and held it out as if she scorned lit: "With pleasure. Good afternoon, Mr. Mallbry." Mallory took it as if it were the imerest trifle, bowed and murmured: I"Good afternoon, Miss Newton." He stalked out and she turned her 'back on him. A casual witness would !have said that they were too indif- 'ferent to each other even to feel an - ker. As' a matter of romantic fact, each was on lire with love, and aching' madly with regret. Each longed for' strength to whirl round with outfiung. arms of reconciliation, and neither' could be so brave. And so they parts ed, each harking back fiercely for 014 Word of recall from the other. But; neither spoke, and Marjorie sat star- ing at nothing through raining eyess while Mallory strode into the Men's! ;Roam as melancholy as Hamlet with ;Yorick's skull in his hands. It was their first great quarrel, and: •they were convinced that :the world, might as well come to an end. . CHAPTER XXVIII. The Woman-Hatega Relapse, The observation room was as lone- ly as a deserted battlefield and Mar- jorie as doleful as a Wounded sol- dier left behind, and perishing of thirst, when the conductor came back with 'Snoozleums in his arms. He regarded with contemptuous awe the petty cause of eo great an event as the stopping of the Trans- American. He expected to see Mar - i0110 receive the returned prodigal with wild rapture, but she didn't even smile when he said: • "Here's your powder -puff." She just took Snoozleums on Iter lap and looking up with wet eyes and a sad smile, murmured: "Thank you very much. You're the nicest conductor I ever met. If you ever want another position, see that my father gets you one." It was like offering the kaiser a new job, but the conductor swallowed the insult and sought to repay it with honY. noose all this time—till I struck this train and met up with Anne. We got to talking over old times --waking up old sentiments. She got on ing nerven• I got on hers. Finally 1 said, 'Aw, tell, let's get married. Save price of ne stateroom to China anyway.' She says, 'Damned if I don't!',—or words to that effect." Mallory broke in with feverish in- terest: "But you said you were going to get married on this train." "Nothing easier.

The • daughters reached home earlier than usual that day, and when their father, Renel or Jethro, inquired the reason they replied that an Egyptian delivered and helped them., So he was sent for to come and eat With them, and, being content to dwell there, Jethro gave his daughter Zipporah to Moses to be his wife. It is not without a purpose that tbe Spirit has recorded for us the (incl. hag of a wife by a well and by Cr In connection with the watering of a flock, as In the case of Isaac, Jacob and Moses.

THE INTERNATIONAL SERIES. Text of the Lesson, (Ix, ii, 11-25. Memory Verses, 11, 12 --Golden Text, Matt. v, 5—Commentary Prepared by " Rev, D. M. Stearns, In Acts vii, 22-29, we have quite a full comment upon the first part of onr lesson and must note these facts: Moses was learned in all the wisdom of the Egyptians and was mighty in , words and in deeds. And when be was full forty years old it came into his heart to visit hls brethren, the children of Israel. He supposed that his brethren would have understood how that God by his hand would deliv- er them, but they understood not. How briefly are summed up his forty years at the court of Pharaoh! He insist have been forty years ahead of time in his thought of delivering his people, for Acts vie 29, '30, tells us that he was forty years a stranger in the land of Millan before he received his call at the burning bush. And yet we cannot but Mutt of Him who came unto His own and His own received Him not (John 1, 11). Stephen thus spake of him in Acts vii, 85: "This Moses whom they refused." In lieb. xi, 24-27, the time of our les- son is also referred to and the position *which Moses might have filled as the son of Pharaoh's daughter. But he chose rather to suffer affliction with the people of God than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season, esteem- ing the reproach of Christ greater rich- es than the treasures in 'Egypt, for he had respect unto the recompense of the reward. IIe endured as seeing Him who is invisible. Piqua wonderful words these are, and what an insight they give us into Moses' knowledge of the God of Israel and of the promises to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob—wisdom svhicb never came to him from the wis- dom of Egypt. According to our lesson verses, al- though Moses sympathized with his afflicted brethren, be did not know the living and true Gbd as he did later on, for before he slew the Egyptian task- master he looked this way and that way to see that no man was watching. Efe was afterward afraid and fled for his life to the land of Midian. He had been from childhood to the age of forty under the training of the wisdom of Egypt, but he required to be forty years more at the school of God, learn- ing more fully the wisdom of God es David did when he kept sheep, as John the Baptist did until he was thirty and as Saul did for three years in People,- to show forth the praises of Him who hath called us out of clerk - 11058 into IlIs marvelous light (1 PA il, 9.1 1 ), Ills second son lie called Eliezer (my God is a help), for he said, "The God of My father was mine help" (Ex. ern 4, mai:glu).

Children Cry FOR FLETCHER'S cAs-roRIA ROOTS AS HOG FEED. An Abundance of Green Feed Cheapens Pork Production, If you are not fortunate enough to own a patch of several acres fenced. with good woven wire you may still plan to furnish your hogs an abun- dance of cut feed and roots during the season of short grain supply, writes a Manses hog raiser In the American Ag- riculturist, At this time you have a number of pigs, if the sows were bred for spring farrow, and in no other way, can you hasten their growth eo cheap- ly and satisfactorily as by providing plenty of succulent feed during the first six months of their growth. Rape, green oats, rye, alfalfa and clover aro among the first available for cutting and feeding green. Sorghum cloes not grow readily until settled warm weath- er; hence, although It Is very valuable later ou, it will not do to depend on early in the season. One of my neighbors who alwayS made good in the hog business kept; his hogs in a dry lot. This plan, how- ever, Is not to be recommended if there is any way to prevent it, as it necessitates extra labor at a time when labor is at a premium in othell lines of farm work. This man al- ways planted an acre or two, depend- ing on the number of hogs he kept, in sweet corn. This he began to feed, stalk and all, when the grain began tat set When this was all gone be usu- ally had some early corn ripening. Early in the summer a small patch of, oats furnished succulent feed until the oats crop was ready to harvests, and by that time sorghum was ready, to fill in the gap between the oats and sweet corn. The lie spring of 1912, with its cold rains and clammy soil, was not conchs, cive to even sprouting of corn and Kafir; hence the sweet corn crop on my farm was cut short, and I did no* have much sweet corn with which to supplement my pasture during the drss season. I ,bad, however, a good sized patch of mangele intended for winten feeding, and I used these instead. It seems strange that farmers, as a rules do not seem to realize the value et these roots as stock feed. For six or seven years I have raised them fag hogs, poultry and cows, and each se& son finds me wishing I had planted more. The main objection to them le: the amount of work required in raining 'the crop, but they are such heavy yielders a small plot produces a large amount of rich feed.
