It was mld.arternoon when Tom
Jamieson finlslled the last cigar In his
case. Two hours more to New Yorl
and nothing In sight to nmuse him.
He had de\'oured all the magazines on

There seemed nothing for it but two
hours of ennui and that he decided he

tion tllat every detail of the girl's

'Th < sr conversation was distinctly audl.

The girl forced tllo open magazlno

tbe bool ! .
"What was that story about , any.
