now. the poor gentleman is only running
awav from his cre1itors.n
But had no more time TO waste in con-
lectures, for the train was ready; and so
taking NV yalise. | went ont. and was inst
passing through the gate. when I saw the
thin gentleman dodge behind n yerv cor
pu!ent old lady who stood few PAGES to
the right of me. But I saw his restless,
dark eve cleaning at me over the old Ia
dy's shoulder.
"Well." said /. ''if YOU 20 on this train
my dear sir, I'll see more of YOU before |
get to Worcester" And passing through
the gate, I got into the cars.
Every seat was occupied in the first car
that / went into. As 1 entered the next
car by one door, the thin gentleman enter
ed il by the other, but he didn't see me,
He advanced along the aisle, glancing eau
tiously TO the right and left. slid into seat.
and the next moment sat down beside
him.
The thin gentleman started up and made
an attempt TO spring out of the window,
but caught him by the collar and forced
him back into the seat
"Then you do want me ?" he said tremb-
ling as If with the ague.
"Yes, 1 want you TO sit down, and not at
tempt to dash your brains out by throwing
yourself out of the car window. If YOU
don't want TO go"
so, but do dow then he put his lips
TO my ear. "You won't take me back, nv
dear fellow, will your"
"Take you back Why should take
you back ?" And then the thought flashed
through my brain that was sitting beside
an escaped lunatic, and / began to feel
quite as uncomfortable as my companion.
"Who do YOU think 1 ann" asked.
