Mrs. Glennor knew the girl was
quite capable of keeping her word II
she was pushed too far, so she said

mammals frowns, chatted with her
seatmate very sociably.
1t was getting sundown when the
train stopped at Hamilton, and sew
eral passengers descended, among
them Mrs. Glennor and Mabel.

hands In their pocket, promenadine

formed her OF the fact.
They waited upon the dreary plat
form until it drove up and the drives
dismounted.
Then he came up the steps and ad

hat respectfully.
