1 THE MORNING AST01UAN, ASTORIA, OREGON. Wednesday, April a, ml Marooned In London. By FRANK CLIFTON. Copyright. inc. by May McKeon. "I'm eony, nits." aM the agent po litely, "but there Is not even a berth left" "Perhaps I might get In the second cabin," suggested Madge, with a sud den accession of hope. The agent t ml led. ' "There are more persons going back second cabin than there are who want firsts," be explained. "You see, lots of those who come over first cabin only have enough for the second cabin on the way home. Some of them discount their return ticket for the little extra money they can get that way. Of course some one might decide not to go at the last moment, but there are 137 applications In ahead of yours, and there would have to be 139 passengers not going before I could fix yon up on that boat" "But the next?" she persisted. "Just as bad, If not worse. I am afraid that I shall not be able to book yon before the end of next month." With a sigh. Madge turned away from the counter. She had lingered on In Europe after the rest of her original party had returned. She had Joined the Worthicgtons after that but now they were starting for the Nile trip, and It was Important that she should get home. There had been no hope of obtaining passage on the French and Hamburg liners, and she had run over to London supposing that there would be better opportunity. But everywhere the same story was told. The rush of westbound traffic was unexpectedly heavy and there would be no chance for a stateroom for weeks to come. Auut Clara was fretting at the delay, ber father had written her that he was not well and he wished her to return at once, and yet they would probably be forced to remain In London for five or six weeks. Madge always thought better when be walked, so she dismissed her cab and started to walk back to the Cecil. The busy London streets quickened her thoughts, but these ouly served to show how unpleasant was her situa tion. It was a very blue face that crossed Tom Manning's line of vision. "Miss Howard." he cried, starting forward. "This Is Indeed a surprise. I had supposed that you returned long ago."

James F!'. alyson, Agent Astoria Or. SSeechwnti "Returned." sho laughed dismally. "Why, we are marooned here. W cannot got a lnrth for love or money." "If misery loves company you bare lots of it," he toughed. "Let's go and have some lunch. That may -cheer you up a little I'll telephone Mrs. Two mey." Madge nodded gratefully. She had always liked Tom Manning, and they turned their steps toward the Carle ton. She waited while he weut oft to telephone her aunt. He ordered u capital lunch, for he had a rare souse of gastronomic pro portions, ami sho really enjoyed the dainty meal, though she caught herself wouderlug how much more glad she would have been, had It been Frank Roper whom sho hud encountered. He was a business man, where Tom was a mere society butterfly. Frank could have found some way of getting her out of the trouble; Tom was only a momentary diversion. Almost as though iu answer to her question ltoper entered the dining room and came toward them. Hts alert bearing was In marked contrast to Manning's rather Kylsh pose, and yet somehow she did not feel' so glad to see him as she had been to greet Tom. He took a seat at their table In re spouse to Manning's invitation and lis tened gravel to her recital of her troubles. "I regret that I cannot be of assist ance," he said when she had conclud ed. "1 made every eudeavor yesterday to arrange a similar matter for the relatives of some business friends, aud the case Is hopeless. F.von the freight ers are booked far ahead." "Theu you are marooned, too," she laughed gleefully. "I never permit such a situation," ha did complacently. "My Interests art too large to admit of a delay. My list "ESt THAT THE RICHEST JOKir BE CHI.TKLK. room was booked before I came erar. I am going day after tomorrow." "I guess we exiles shall have to char ter a steamer," laughed Manning. "If you' are dose. Miss ll nvard. shall we go? She left the table with relief. Some how Roper's attitude of complacent satisfaction was positively hateful. She had always liked bim before. Down In her heart of hearts she had vacillated between the two men ew since her coming out ball. Her prefer ence had been for Koper until now, but at present Tom's mercurial tempera ment suited her mood better, and she was glad that she had met him first Since Frank has refused the re quest may I take It up?" he asked as they parted at the hotel. "I may be able to sandbag some unwary tour ist and take bis stateroom from him." "If you only could!" she cried Im pulsively. "Father Is In poor health, and I am so anxious to get to him." "Can you sail at once?" he asked. "I'd like to go this minute," she cried. "Consider It done," he said, with mock dramatics. "I will work the sandbag persuasion this very day." Madge went upstairs oddly comfort ed by the assurance, though ber sense told her that Manning could not suc ceed where ltoper with his Influence bad failed. It was with misgiving that she open ed the note he sent her that evening, but a delighted cry escaped her when a ticket fell out. She let it flutter to the floor when she read the letter. It ran: Dear Miss Howard I am called out of town and am mailing thess to you. You can fix It up when I see you In New York. Hope you will nave a pleasant passage. With regards to your aunt and yourself, THE SANDBAOOER. Boper called that evening to explain that be had heard of a berth that she might obtain four weeks later and seemed much relieved to find that she had been provided for. I should have offered you my room, he said, "bad It not been that It was imperative that I should be In town next week. We shall be fellow pas sengers." Madge could not arouse great enthu siasm ovttr this fact. A few weeks be fore she would have been glad. But since the luncheon she had changed. It was unreasonable to expect hlra to give up his stateroom, yet the compla cent way In which he had dismissed that possibility had Irritated her. It was not as pleasant a trip as lto per anticipated. Madge was pleusaut, but there was no chance to g';t a chat with her, and they wero wnrlng borne before the opportunity came to put his fate to the tyst. He had regarded ber acceptance as a matter of course, and her prompt aud emphatic uegatlve put him out of sorts with himself, tie did not come near her agatu until they lay off quarantine and the steerage passenger were be ing transform! to the Kills Island boat. The cabin passengers were hnuvlng over the rail watching the odd churitc tors as they tsop:d ou board the little steamer. ltoper leaned on the rail Ih? side Madge. Suddenly he grasped her arm and pointed to the gangway. "Isn't that the richest jok ?" ho chuckled. "There goes Manning, Ho protitihly got strap, ped and came over steerage because It was the host ho could afford. This Is rich." In a Hash Madge solved the situation. "I am afraid," she said, "that we are occupying Mr. Manning's stateroom. That Is probably his reason for coming third class, lie knew how anxious I was to got home, aud that la tho way he solved the problem. Had I known I should never have consented." Roper mirth changed to a sickly smile. "1 congratulate Mr. Mauitlug." he said as he turned away. That eveulug Manning presented himself at the Howards' In response to Madge's note. "I was going to arrive officially iu a couple of weeks from now," he explained sheepishly. "I did not want to see you two left a Ion In London, and I had to get back on a big deal I was working. I'm sorry you saw me, though." "I'm not." she said decidedly. "I used to think you were Just a society butterfly, and I'm glad to know differ ently." "Ob, I work." he said lightly. "Only I don't bring my business to 5 o'clock teas, and I rather like tho teas tint's alt" "Just the teas?" asked Madge mean ingly, "Do you mean" ho stammered. Tes," said Madge. "Sine you are afraid to appear to take advantage of your action I suppose I shall have to force you to propose." "It wont take much forcing," hs laughed. "Will your "Gladly." said Madge. A Profitable Inheritance. The boatman, stolidly bonding to his oars, looked up quickly aud said, "Illus trisslmo, my grandfather was the hint man of the Signer Shelley, drowned In this bay." Saying Shelley's name, he lifted his hat as If he had mentioned one of the saints. The quick mist of emotion ruse to Carduccl's eyes at the boatman's sim ple gesture of reverence. "I salute thee, my friend," he said, stretching out his hand. The rower drew In his oars and, bonding forward, shook bands with t'arduccl. then rowed quiet ly on, driving out Into the blue waters. I have since been told but I refuse to believe It -that every boatman Iu Spezla tells the same grandfather story when Shelley's name Is mentioued by visitors to the bay. "It is our little story for the English." they say, with a gleaming, Irresponsible amlle. "They like It much. It Is worth a lira or two Ura-sometlmes five." In our case, 1 remember. It was worth five And a clasp ef Carduccl's hsnd.-Fortnlghtljr Review. Absentmindsd Prix. "I've met the most abnentmlndeil man at last" said the man who Is al ways looking for freaks. "I thought I'd fonnd him la the college profewioc who when he wsnt ujrstulrs to dress for dinner would aheentmludedly go to bed Instead. But that fellow was dis placed by a young writer who would put his foot up In a chair to tie his shoe and then, forgetting what ho did It for, would put the other foot up In the chair and stand up In it. Then 1 met a woman who confessed to look lng absentmiudedly In the back of her hairbrush roxtetid of her hand mirror when she wanted to see the back of her head, and 1 thought she bad gone the writer one lietter.
