Found she Had Nothing Fixed. From the Boston Herald
 It wanted about ten minutes of train time, and the cars were already pretty well filled. Some of the pssSepgers were buried in newspapers; some. dIvssted of their sur plus clothing, were lounRing on their seats, prepared for long journey, for it WAS a through express on the Boston and Maine. The forward door of the coach opened | suddenly; there was A rustic of skIrts and rattle of small baggage and 6 little girl appeared in the doorway followed and guided sy & young lady of prepOssssEing appearance. The little girl started up the sisle, but was promptly recalled by thsse oreAthless iDiunotiens:
 "Here, Jessis, better take this seat right up front. youn have 1t all to yourself; you can put the box down there, then the bun dls can go up there tin the rack overheAd), the sstchel can stay right on the seat, so that you can get what you want out of it."
 'Is the lunch in the sAtchelF' asked the girl timidly.
 "SO. guess the lunch Is in tine box. I'd better take 1t out. too"
 The young lady, furried and excited, explored the large card board box, hshed out small parcel, laid 1t on the seat and said:
 Better let 1t stay right hsre-neednt mind putting it in the sstchel Now lei me see-oh, yes, you've got your ticket: bsttsr put 1t where you can get it eAEily- yes"
 The little girl's broad hat wasn't at & good range with the seat and she rested un- easily.
 Can't you sit comfortably thereF" asked the other. "Let me take of your hat and put 1t on the seat in front" and she pro. oeeded to do so with great haste.
 That done, she stood a moment in desp thought. In the minds of the other pGs- sengers there seemed to be dread still ness in the car. The youDg woman eI- claimed.
 "oh, my, hsd almost forgotten to give you the checksi Now, wasn't that terri bleF"
 Everybody looked up. The old gentle man with tbe banking house air pesrsd ov- CT the top of bis paper with frown, which gradually relaxed into An amused smile As he caught sight cf the young womsn-a smile from which 1t could be inferred that her sttrsctivensss might make her excusa- be. no matter if 1t did interrupt his di- sestion of the financial column. The young man with the football hair and the wide trimmed derby crswled out of his corner, looked up, and seemed half angry with himself for not taking an interest in the prtpossessinR party before; and thereafter apparently believed that 60 much huttsring was sufficient excuse for his gszing in that direction without showing bad taste. Ssv- eral women exchanged glsnces, which indi csted tha' in their opinion the young woman vss conscious of her charms and that they
 E0 un Ia quite evident, indeed, that nearly every one in the car agreed with them, no matter what additional notion they might have about ths matter.
 The train boy stoppSd in his orstion on "T5e grestest magazine in the world-just out" ss the young woman, looking st her watch. cried:
 'Now, you remember what I sAid-you stay in this csr until it stops-now, re- member, not the first time, but stay In till the msu comes and sAys it doesn't go any further. Now good-by, they'll meet you. Don't forget to give them the checks-tell now l must gc-xood-by. ktsEes. I'll watch you from the platform"
 Thres minutes and the train would start.
 The pretty young woman stepped from the car 10 the platform. while the young man with the football hair mourned be- cause she was not going to take the jour ney instead of her yonng charge.
 She stood on the platform opposite the window st which the yOung charge sat, and she wore perpleIed look As if she were not sstishsd that everything hAd been looked out for. Then she went over to tAe brakeman, ss If to relieve her mind. In su instant she was in the car SgAin more Hurried than ever. Every body again looked up.
 "Come, Jsssie, quiet' How stupid, This Is the wrong car, next one ahead, be gays" and she fiusbed fuIiously while the men smiled behind their papers, ihe wo- men giggied right out, and the train boy, resumed his orstion on the ''Grestest and only magazine of its kind In the world just out"
 When she had got ihe little girl and the bundles together and hurried ont of the car, the problem which seemed to bother the passengers who remained was:
 "How will she ever get the child settled in her new quarters before the train starts"
