The Wreck of the Taxicab and a Chicago Elopement
A taxicab wreck forces Lieutenant Henry Mallory and Marjorie to improvise a hurried elopement to a Manila-bound transport. They chase trains and streetcars through Chicago suburbs, facing delays, misdirections, and the looming discipline of Army life. Amid chaos, they cling to each other as time slips away and a minister’s blessing seems within reach.
