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
bls trip out. Up to t\le \ present mo.
ment he had smelted his wny bacle.
There seemed nothing for it but two
hours of ennui and that he decided he
could better endure from his comfort.

in the seat in front of his , which had
been vacant out of Chicago , sat qulto
the most charming girl he had seen

emotions under the imperturable exterior -

form. Jamieson noticed with satisfaction -
tion tllat every detail of the girl's
qulpment was correct ; that tllo elder.
ly person beside her was likewise Irro.
11roachable in appearance and manner.
'Th < sr conversation was distinctly audl.

was Jamles ID's first shocle. 1'hat any
girl bred outside of his own sphere
should have such perfect poise and

The girl forced tllo open magazlno
into the un\\\1llng \ hands of her aunt
who apparently preferred to finish hcr
own story. Jamieson , loaning forward

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

It last week. Seems to me that here
