up with q first consideration of sOr-
row.
What fools we mortals be" Quoted
Mr.. Doroman to himself, and thes
with an audible sigh to emphasis his
thought, Poor Harry"
This Internal ejaculation will
make quite apparent that Mr.. Rey-
nolds was known to DOraaoan.
The professional beauty was sur
rounded by bundles and baskets-sll
OF the most approved and dainty
fashion. Their con tents were evident
from their exteriors. At the dinner
station she did not get off, but par
tooK of white grapes and some dainty
waters. The conductor Was press
ingly attentive, but she refused all
attempts at courtesy with q dignity
quite chilling.
"She's lady in spite of her fast
reputation" thought Doroman II
never had mnch opinion of Reynolds.
Perhaps she has been 30 miserable
With him that she's turned to others"
just here the object of his thoughts
rose and went to lady in the fourth
section. She was forlOrn young
woman with a large baby and no
nurse. The baby objected to travel
| ing and had been rendering vigor.
Gus solo to that effect. Mrs.
! Reynolds spoke to the mother and
offered some of the waters to the
| baby, she even took it in her arms and
soon brought quiet and satisfaction
where there had been hunger and
confusion.
Doroman's heart warmed to her.
"She's not near 80 black as she's
painted" he thought. II cant i'm
agine her singing a comic song over a
champagne supper, as they say she
does"
At three in the afternoon the moth
or and baby reached their home.
This left but few occupant is in the car.
At o'clock they were to pass the
university town OF l..
Mrs. Reynolds had been reading
until they reached the last named
place, and then Mr.. Doroman saw her
scan the depot with her downcast
but observant eyes.
Presently q fresh-faced, handsome
| student boarded the train and was
warmly welcomed by Mrs. Reynolds.
Ppm going on with you, perhaps as
far as CINCINNATI"
10! Christopher, you must not neg
lect your studies, you b. better just
come little tiny way"
When the train started again Doro.
man went to the end of the Car in the
little unoccupied section. He felt
vaguely angry at the student, so an
cry that he wished to have him out
of his sight. Gradually as the time
passed in utter lonesomeness, and his
novel grew denser and denser, his
eyes involuntarily closed.
When he woke he heard voices
speaking earnestly. The tones ere
pitched to suit the noise and motion
of the train and the sound came to
to him distinctly in the lulr OF a halt
at station.
"You know have loved you for a
long time. long time"
20! yes as boys measure time" re-
Piled the feminine voice, the same
which had soothed the baby.
"Well what's the harm of 1t? Why
won't you listen to me?"
why there isn't the least harm in
it, of COURSE" from the feminine
voice, land l would listen to you
il loved you"
This from q welded wife, u woman
eyes of young girl.
The bell rang, the wheels turned,
the clamor began anew, and Mr.. Dor
oman smiled to himself with intense
and bitter cynicism.
Al S:l5 Mr.. Doroman made the dis
covery that he was alone in the Pull.
man car with the celebrated beauty.
In common with many of her kind
she had figured largely in society
newspapers, for the world winked at
the Irregularities which her hus.
bands money CLOSED over. He had
heard her say
81 would listen to you if I loved
you" From the judgment of his au-
ditory nerve there was no appeal. He
had met Reynolds in business several
times lately. They had been at the
University of Michigan together,
though not in the same class. surely
this might serve as an Introduction.
He rose and approached her.
| II see that you are travelling alone
and since l have been informed of
your name, 1 learn that [ am an old
friend of your husband, Mr.. Henry
Reynolds. We were school mates, or
rather college mates. May offer you
my card?"
He extended the regulation bit of
pastebosrd.
Her face lighted up with pleasure.
II am delighted" she said. II
have heard so much of the editor and
proprietor of the - Globe. Papa
is suoh an admirer of yours. He says
that inherited capital is usually with
out brains, and inherited brains
usually without capital. He is al.
ways quoting you as an exception"
Mr.. Doroman was astonished. He
