There was a line of cars standing at the left
hand. Very soon Mrs Cantor came to car
winch had placard hung upon it, She was

'his announcement it did not seem reasonable
to her that it could be true Why did not that
car 90? Why should it sand there with the
train if it were not going?
She didn't believe word of it. 1t was plain
enough it was mistake of some of the men.
She felt almost determined to 90 10 Bowsidc in
| that car.
She thought for an instant that She would re
turn and ask the ticket clerk about it, and If
IL wasn't "a mistake. The remembrance OF hcr
bundles and of the difficulty in getting Scamp
through that gate again made her give up this
idea
People kept going past her. anG the terrier

The young man assisted her M the steps and

proval, tried to lick his face and showed eiiu-
sivcy that he believed in him.
