plenty of time for me- Il dashed back
to the little room, but h hang me ifithere,

long double lad der they wheel about to
clean the lamps, took off the poor fell

by the door, put toff my own cap, and
hurried across the platform as Though L
had just come nom the refreshment

felt very uncomfortable. I didn't ut all

where else, However, there was no help
for it now, and made up my mind to

would be out. When the cafrihge drew
up alongside the ticket platform, and !

he Thought the notice did not apply 70
him, so he calmly put his glasses ON
again. Atthat nelnent a guard-a regu-
