how" Cynthy said meditatively, looking
at me.
"We have large Newfoundland dog :;
too big for you to carry in your arms,
however. No, [ don't think we could
have Tower, too besides, your mother
will want him for company when you are
gone, answered
oval, eny dog'll do eff it's only dog, !"
Cynthy responded, looking entirely sat-
isfied.
Four days later we started on our
homeward journey. Mrs. johnson
kissed Cynthy with tears in her eyes, at
the same time giving her sharp instruc-
| tions as to her future behavior.
"All aboard = shouted the conductor,
and in a moment more we were off. 7
had seated Cynthy by the window that
she might see everything. I sat with a
party of friends across the aisle. TWAS
Cynthy's first experience in travelling,
and her EXPLANATIONS of wonder and de-
light, her frequent boundings in and out
of her seat, her open mouth and snap
ping eyes were q constant source Of
amusement to the occupants of the car.
After a while the monotony of the ride
subdued her spirits, and at last I looked
toward her only to see her with her head
thrown back and mouth wide open en-
joying a very audible slumber The gen
tleman of our party, who had left us a
few moments before, now returned, say
ing: "Miss Templeton, your Aunt
Cuped is in the next car and is very
anxious to see you"
Aunt Cuped was by nature spicy-not
to say peppery.
The cars approached way station.
Here my friends left the train and I
stepped into the next car, where I found
my relative with portentous frown on
her brow.
Goodness me, Dora it takes you
long enough, I hope, to get here" was
her characteristic greeting. "Im on
my way down to your house to make a
visit [ haven't sent any word to your
mother, because I didn't decide to go
until yesterday. But then I'm in the
family, and don't expect you to put your
self out for me-"
That was what she always said, and
| she exacted more attention than all the
rest of our guests put together. I sat
chatting until the train approached the
terminus of the road, and then said ''I
left the young colored girl in the next
car and must go back now, for Tn afraid
she will be worried at being left alone,
and as she has never travelled she won't
know what to do"
"What in the name of common sense
are you going to do with her? asked
Aunt Cuped, with sniff-she hated ne
groes.
81 am going to try to train her up in
the way she should go, and make good
| servant of her," I answered lightly.
"And have your labor for your pains, :"
she growled, twitching her shawl vicious
ly about her shoulders. eco along to
your charming protege, do"
And I went, and found-an empty
seat.
"Why, what has become of her ?" 7
gasped, my heart sinking down, down;
between Aunt Cuped and Cynthy life
was rendered q burden to me just then.
Are you looking for anybody,
ma'am ?" said plain-looking man in
the next seat.
Yes, a young colored girl. I left
her here asleep short time ago."
"She got off at the last station. She
woke up when the cars stopped and then
went out -
"She must have thought I had left
her." said, disconsolately. "What is
to be done now?"
The cars stopped and I went back to
Aunt Cuped. [ explained the matter in
a few words.
"A bad beginning" she said, tartly.
"Makes good ending I subjoined,
hopefully. 81 am going to telegraph
back to Woodbury., and 7 don't doubt
but that Cynthy will arrive in the next
train all right"
The next train would not arrive for
four hours, and I spent the interval at
| 1NA OAN 0OAIOOA AAlCuIl ., VIII IuSI6UCu upon
my staying all night if Cynthy did not
make her appearance. She accompanied
me to the depot, and we watched closely
for some signs of the Grant damsel.
The passengers had apparently all left
the cars, and, just as we were turning
away, Cynthy, with ry-much-sobered
and bewlldered countenance, hat and
shawl awry, and altogether decidedly
woe-begone appearance, stepped down
upon the platform. AS she caught sight
of me the poor child's face lighted up,
and she sprung forward, sobbing, sob,
Miss Dora, I didn't go for to make
trouble; thought you'd went n left me- %
-" was only in another car I should
not think of leaving you. Now we must
hurry we have just time to catch the
train home. Good-by, Sallie, I must
defer my visit until another time" I
said, hastily, seeing that we had very
little time to spare.
The clock struck 8 as Cynthy and I.
