THE DAILY STORY
Her Railway Journey
The bell rang. The engine took a long
breath, the depot went the other way,
and the people standing on thft platform
had a foolish, left look, as If they hai
been forgotten. Then the oval of green
grass, with "Littleton" picked out In
white shells, the prldo of the Village tm
prevement League, slid pftst the window.
Familiar houses now past, .each one fly
Ing faster than the last, and ns Winifred
Mayne caught the last flutter of the.out
fcsklrta of the little town, tho train gath
ered speed and settled down to the clank
ing rhythm of the rnlls.
"Going to take a little trip, Miss Win-ntc-lo
you good," said, tho conductor,
socially. He glanced at her ticket and
noted With surprise her distant destina
tion. "Ooln" clear through? You don't say,"
with frank curiosity.
But Miss Winnie did. not explain. It
was not necessary that ntl Littleton
should know where she was going and
what for. Sho nestled back Into her seat.

touching tho red plush cushion with a
furtlvo hand. How good It was to be
going somewhere, to be out of the world
ngnln to have all this luxury of swift
movement without cxc.tlon, to get away
from two little rooms. Putting her tele
scope on the seat bcsldo her and her um
brella standing In front of her like a sen
tinel, lest she forgot It, .she settled down
between the high-backed sents with a
senso of privacy. If only she 'could keep
the sent to herself!
How goad It was to bo going some
where! Even, sho remembered with a
shock, nshamed to be so glnd, even on
such a sad, hurried, sorrowful journey as
this. For this was a Journey with a tele
gram at one end of It nnd n dying man
nt the other. It was a wonderful tole
gram In that It not only told her to come
quickly If sho would see her brother
nllvo, but had also put more money Into
her purse than had been thero for many
a day. She might have gone In the Pull
man coach; she might have fared royally
In tlio dining car; but tho Ingrained
thrifty instinct of long necessity made
her put up a modest lunch and she hoped
to be nblo to cat It In a scat all to her-,
self.
Sho looked out of tho window. Alrendy
the landscape began -to be unfnmlllar, for
sho had made few Journeys .In tlio 'hard
working years slhco she had come to Lit
tleton. They, wero among the mountains

own faco and her prim little hat, which
revealed her forehead with Its shadowing
sweep of brown hair. Now thnt she had
tlmo to look about her she saw that the
hats of other women were dragged down
over their eyes, and she saw thnt her
dainty three-buttoned kid glove, smooth
over her slender wrist, tnould have been
a mannish affair of dogskin, with ono
big button. Still fltio thought her clothes
were good nnd ladylike sho was sure of
that, and at least, her chin did not sag.
And then sho caught herself up with

the art of making the best dt things.
A new conductor camo on brusque and
unapproachable. She began to be tired;
she wondered what tlmo It was, and then
the thing she dreaded happened a big
man stopped, a pleasant voice said, "Is
this sent octiplcd?"
Tho man sat down, In tho Impersonal
fashion of the accustomed traveler.
Of course sho never meruit to talk to a
stranger, but there was something reas
suring In the bearing of this one nnd sho
asked him what tlmo It was.
He told her.
"Cannot I mako you a llttlo more com
fortnblo?" ho asked as he put her tele
scope and umbrella up on the rack.
"I wonder," she said timidly, "whether
we aro on time."
Tho man caught tho Inarticulate howl
of tho brakeman nt the door, and con
sulted his time tnble-tho tlmo tnblc that
was Greek to her and said:
"No, wo are more than nn hour late."
"Oh, It will be after midnight wncn I
get there,"
"You nro not the only one," he smiled,
"It will be after midnight when I get
there too."
Then he picked up the paper nnd show
ed her n cartoon and tnlked about tho
news of the day. When she asked the
conductor when they would reach Lo
Pero ho looked at her with siiddon In
terest, "I am going to Lo Pore," ho said; "wo
shall bo lato and If I can bo -of any as
sistance, I hope you wllPnllow mo to be,"
"Oh, thank you," she said. "I am not
used to trnvcllng. This Is unusual very.
I was sent for."
"Yes?"
"Yes It's my brothel the only brother
I have. I had a telegram. I am afraid
he Is very III. People don't Usually tele
graph until thoy are, do thoy?"
She told him all about it. It seemed
so much safer to talk to this utter
stranger than to tho Littleton conductor.
"Perhaps If you are 'acquainted In Lb

"John Mayno your brothor? I didn't

After that there was no reason why

a shock and Jar, the train stood still,
with a broken down engine.
"You're dead tired." he said, two hours
later, "and there's no sleeper. They were

She protested that she didn't mind: she
