"Brampton I" . i
As 'the conductor called out the
name, two of l five pHNseiiRQis In ;
the renr coach nroe am) made their ,
wny to the door. j
The man who had nut lost In somber
abstraction wue the llrst to reach It.
A drive of rain made bin. puttee. Then !
he noticed that a young jslrl was close
In his I Aid. He stopped to the depot I
platform and caught her arm.
"It Is pouring a torrent," he snld.
'you will be sonked through If you I
do not gain shelter speedily." 1
dlstniil lump showed against n
building half a hundred feet awny. ,
The girl did not resent the courtesy (
(ff a stranger find Joined him In a dash
down the plutforn. The depot wns
locked up and there wns not a sign of
life of habitation In Its vicinity. The
nves were narrow and dripping.
"Walt here," spoko her companion
and went to a window, raised It,
climbed Inside and unset the lock of
tho door and lighted a lamp.
"This way, miss," ho called to the
girl. "Dismal Inside and out. Do you
know anything about this uncivilized
snot?" !
"Oh, yes," replied the girl animated
ly. "There nre no houses here for It
Is only a little way station, but my
homo Is a mllo distant."
"A mile In this howling tempest!"
uttered the man. "It might quite ns
well be ten, child I Are you chilly?
There Is a stove hero I sec. I will look
around nnd find out If there Is a coal
bin or woodpile handy."
Ho strode down tho platform and
examined a box with a hinged cover.
It contained kindling nnd conl. Then
he let the cover drop with a sudden
crash, for from the depot there echoed
n sharp ringing cry. Through the win
dow of the lighted room ho made out
the figure of the girl struggling with
the uncouth figure of a man In trnmp
Ish attire.
Evan Rogers sent her despoller
whirling through the open doonvny
and tho fellow made off promptly.
Rogers hastened to tho side of the girl,
who, pale nnd perturbed, came, close
to .him as If grateful for his protection.
Then after two visits to the coal box
he had a roaring flro In the stove. Tho
reaction from exposure and the shock
of her recent adventure had overcome
the girl. Hor rescuer walked over
towards the window nnd peered out
grimly.
It was a desolate prospect without,
tin t In accord with his life, and'Jjdgors
wns so engrossed In mentally surVey
Ing the circumstances that ' had
brought him to this dreary spot thnt
he almost forgot tho girl.
He had come hither on a strange
mission. Twenty years previous he
had married Alice Hllde. He wns
young. Improvident, reckless. Within
two years he had trilled away her lit
tle fortune. There hud been a final
stormy scene. Her brother, cold,
loveless, had reproached Rogers with
his misdoings, bad taken his sister to
his own homo nnd the next day had
written n brief note to Rogers. It ran:
"Alice hopes never to see your face
again, but If you nre a man you will
go to work to repay the little fortune
you have misappropriated nnd wnst-
ed."
Dominated by her brother, tho wife
never sent a further word to her hus
bnnd. Rogers later heard that a lit
tle child was horn, llo became a
changed man, accepting his dismissal
as Just. lie was too proud to sue for
forgiveness, and discerned that his
wife's brother nmld his hatred for him
hnd blocked the wny to any reconcilia
tion. At tho end of each year Rogers hnd
sent to the brother of his wife a cer
tain sum. The last payment that
marked the return to his wife of every
dollar ho had spent, had been made
only a month since. From the at
torney who acted for the brother he
received a brief letter telling that he
wns dead and suggested that ho see
his wife.
Was It thus guardedly that tho law
yer Indicated thnt the death of tho
brother removed a barrier that had
through tho years prevented n recon
ciliation? Evan Rogers mused so long
that before he turned from his ab
sorbing thoughts tho storm had cleared
and the girl stood at his side.
"Tho roads will be bad to Alden,
where I presume you nro going," she
snld, "but half the distance Is my
home. You will bo very welcome to
become our guest."
Rogers acquiesced In tho arrange
ment. She was tho guide now. A mile
accomplished, she Indicated a light In
a house somewhat oft from the road.
"It Is mother's light In the window
for me." s'he told Rogers cheerily.
How kind you have, been to me I how
mother will nppreclato your cnrlng for
mo amid storm and peril ! I shall tell
her you nro Mr. 7
"Evnn Rogers."
The girl halted with a sharp gasp.
She reeled so that her companion
caught her arm to steady her.
"And I am Evnllno Rogers," she
quavorcd, "Oh, father! Is heaven's
hand In all this? The lawyer told
mother you might come. And she oh,
dear father I she has so longed for you,
and the light of tho window Is for
both of it". Come."
She uvu his lined and led him for
ward Toward th" -ilMWlng light untl
Into imrnd'.w rvjfnlrtwi.
