was not at oil disagresatle to tho
~skeful traveller. By gradual de-
grees the lady's head leaned TO ose
side and descended in graceful mods
until It rested fairly on the geutie-
mans shoulder. The sweet relaxa-
tion OF sleep unstrung every nerve,

gradually nestled down until its
weight bore entirely upon him. To

ter, he placed his arm about her
waist, and. with q sigh, gave him
seli up to the delicious intoxication
OF the moment, which was perhaps
the 6rst that ever afforded him the
JOY Of holding so much temptis&
beauty in his arms, or Of feeling 90

enough to taste without kissing.-
He thought Of course that 'twould be

The train passed Battle Greek,
where the Detroit train meeIs, and
sped onward. Shortly after leaving
the station, the car door opened and
a gentleman entered who seemed in
search Of somebody. He examined
the faces attentively as he walked
along, in the very dim light, taking
a long and puzzled stare at the cou-
pile OF whom we have been speaking.
Having reached the end of the car,
he then turned back, as IL in doubt,
and, in passing, again paid his re-
CARDS in very inquisitive manner
to the cozily situated pair. He
seemed to arrive 1t q conclusion ct
las,, and again walked back to the
place. The gentleman who held
the lady had his hat pulled over his
eyes, and did not notice the atten-
tion with which he was regarded,
until he saw the other reach over and
tap his lovely companion on the
shoulder. She opened her eyes
dres mily and looked up, seemed to
recognize him, and then turned her
gazo in wilderment to the face of
her supporter. At last she seemed
to realize her position, and started
up with an exclamation of terror
The newcomer then administered Q
tap to the gentleman whom he had
found in SO equivocsl a situation,
aud informed him that he would re-
lieve him OF trouble, and take care
Of his own wife, II he had no object
ion. The latter arose with impsft-
urable GOODNESS and walked forward,
followed by the other with wrath in
his eye. The passengers, who had
become qn.te interested,
saw some expressive psntomime and
4 few passes, after which the hus-
band returned to the lady and sat
1own with a suspicious air, which
,er smiles Jailed to clear up during
he remainder Of the trip. The gen.
.leman who had been ousted, told
he story with a malicious smile,
which ran as follows:
The lady had been absent for Q
long time, and was returning to De-
trolt to her home and husband. The
latter. being over. anxious to meet
her. had taken the outward bound
train. which met the one upon which
he expected to find his beloved at
Battle Greek, and. upon getting ON
board, full Of anticipation at the
meeting, had been satuted by the
sight which We have described--
quite a different one from what hs
expected. Whether bis doubts wsre
finally cleared mp is not known, bus
spectators set it down "a a certainty
that the ls1y will not soon be caught
again In railroad car.
