She comes down to the depot in an
express wagon three hours before
train time. She insists on sitting on
her trunk, out on the platform, to
keep it from being stolen. She picks
up her reticule, fan, parsoI, lunch-bas-
ket, small pot with house plant in it,
shawl, paper-bag of candy, boquet,
(she never travels without one) small
tumbler and extra vail, and chases
Historically every switch train that
goes by, under the impression that it
is her train. Her voice trembles as
she presents herself at the restaurant
and tries to buy a ticket, and she
knocks with the handle of her parasol,
on the door of the old disused tool
house, IN vain hopes that the baggage
man will come out and check her
trunk. She asks everybody in the
depot and on the platform when the
train will start, aud viii stand, and
looking straight at the great clock,
asks: "What time is it now ?" She
sees with terror, the baggageman shy
her trunk into car where two men
are smoking, instead of locking it up
by itself in a large, strong, brown car
with FtBad odor shops,p chalked on
the side, which she has long ago de-
termined to be the baggaee-car as the
only safe one in sight, Although the
first one at the depot, she is the last
to get her ticket, and on the cars she
sits to the end of her journey in an
agony Of apprehension that she has,
got on the wrong train, and will be
landed at some strange station, put in
close carriage, drugged and murder
ed, and to every male passenger who
walks down the aisle she stands up
and presents her ticket, which she in
variabIy carries in her hand. She fin
ally recognizes her waiting friends on
the platform, leaves the car in burst
of gratitude. and the train Is ten miles
away before she remembers that her
reticule, fan, parasol, lnRch-baskets
verbena, shawl, candy, tuniblef, vail
and boquet are on the car seat where
she left them, 6rin the depot.at Peoria,
