The cars whizzed on and on, past towns
and hamlets, through forests and
marshes, and stopped at great cities, the
deacon piiing up lis supplies" ON the
seat before him.
The dav had been long, and hot, and
dusty. The dacon's wife had fallen n
victim to sick headache, and was very
quiet, and looked little sorrowful OF
homesick. as she leaned her head against
the window, and closed Eer eyes to shut
out the sight Of the Refreshments" be-
fore her.
By-and-by, MS the shadows were begin.
ming to fall, the conductor opened the Car
door, and cried out:
"Junction-change for the sleeping
sarsl"
So the deacon picked up his bags and
shawls, after w'cketing as much Of his
other stuff us he could, and said to his
wife, who was half.blind with head ache.
"You'll follow light on, and I'll lead the
way"
This the good little woman tried to do,
but suddenly remembering that they had
left her great dog, whom she loved like
brother, in the baggage car, she stopped
to speak to the brakeman, who wouldn't
stop to listen 20 her.
BY this time, she had lost sight of the
deacon, but she thought he would look
for her in the ladies' room of the depot
''If it hadn't been for your own wis
dom, poor dear old fellow, )" she said to
him in an under tone, you'd have been
carried off. for your new master has for
gotten you" And with her hand on his
shaggy neck, she sat down to wait for
the deacon, who, she thought, was proba-
bly, looking about for her.
The people who had left the train with
her had departed, either in wagons Or on
foot. The cars had been gone several
minutes; and she had the station all to
herself before she began to wonder when
the sleeping cars would come up, and
why the deacon did not appear with her
shawl, for the air was chilly.
The station master shut down the win
dow of the ticket-office, and eyed her
very SHARPLY, Soon afterwards he came
"Are you waiting for anybody3"
She replied, "No."
By-and by she stepped out and looked
all round the depot, and wondered why
the deacon could not as we'll sit with hel
Is in the gentlemen's room while they
were waiting for the cars.
She saw nothing of him; but after she
had taken her seat again, she heard q
mans voice outside, saying

She lost the last word, but son fell
