on the same train from Belmont with the fleeing
lady although he was not aware OF her near
proximity. She caught sight Of him, and with
out hcsitation left the car and jumped. After

cludrd that tho lady WIS the one OF whom he
had been in not pursuit, and he took the first
train back To- Belmont Before he got there the
lady had made known the circumstance and

ton. Watch was kept for tho expected lover.
