| 1t occurred on board train on the Rock
ford and Rock Island Railroad, near Avoca,
Iowa. The engineer had pulled her throttle
low down, and the coaches were whirling
over the track at forty miles an honr. The
passengers in the ladies car had exhausted
the ordinary means OF enlivening the tedium
| of railway trip, and were gradually becom-

ual self-absorption. In one seat sat lady
and gentleman who did not appear to be
| especially interested in each other. Their
chary conversation was confined to incidental
remarks concerning the scenery and the
weather.
The gentleman for the most part was given
to mental rumination On his own account,
while the lady, as if for the lack of an enter
tanning ompanion, listlessly studied the level
stretches of prairie. A few seats distant an
elderly gentleman of clerical aspect and neck
tie, passed the time in g1ancing over a num-
Der religious OF periodicals, and his thoughts
seemed to be wandering to the coming Sab
bath and his pulpit duties. The situation
was dull and dreary enough Suddenly, as
if without premedtated intent, the couple
languidly arose and together sauntered down
the aisle. AS they approached the reverend
gentleman. he also arose and walked forward
to meet them.
They halted and he halted. The situation
pecaiAo SOMEWHAT interesting. Then the
reverend gentleman drew little pocket-book
from his coat-tail pocket and proceeded to
expound something of its contents to the
twain. His discourse ended with the words.

to surprise and please him. She procured small
dog, put it in sack, labelled it with her sweet

for he took he sack and hurled it into the street,

lady was grieved, and ran out just in time to hear
