How a Mother and Her Children Ran
from u Seeming Danger.
A flushed woman dragged small boy
and a smaller girl into the Central sta
ton lunchroom on Friday afternoon
and glanced about her with mingled
| ferocity and indecision. She was care
full to scrutinize all the persons in the
place. who comprised dirty waiter. a
fat travelling man and an official in uni
| form.
Now, you children, stay close to
me" exclaimed the flushed woman in
a loud voice. "These railroad stations
are the worst places for cholera in the
world"
She advanced upon the dirty waiter
as she would approach rampant wild
| beast.
Had anybody with cholera in here?"
she demanded.
The waiter smiled and shook his head.

me as if everything was full of cholera.

upon the water cooler.

She repeated the word with tremen-

The smaller girl, evidently in the hope
Of Fastening matters, was essaying to
climb upon stool at the counter.

The smaller girl was jerked into the
middle Of the floor with suddenness
that made her gasp.
that probably somebody sick
with cholera has been sitting on that
stool?"
The smaller girl had clearly not sus-
pected anything of the sort. She began
to cry.

dren side by side in the farthest corner
of the room.

promptly.

considerable ecstasy.

were impressed to that extent that they
both broke into boisterous lamentations.
