"ihrgc-quarters of an hour to wait
nthis hole, - Hinton Groaned. Better
walk over to Chorley. The train is
due there nj 9.l5, we can do it easily"
We did it little too easily; the
train WAS in sight before we resched
Chorley. We leaped over the ratings
and ran along the line the train passed
MS at the signal box, and we overlook

The Inst carriage was third class :;
a young lady, leaning through the
open window OF the end apartment
looked toward us snxiously
"Will vou be good enough TO open
| the door, - she asked, as We drew near.
We both stopped. Hinton brushed
past me to render the service he WAS
younger than I, his gallantry WAS
houndless, and the present appeal to
1t was made by one of sinGularly pre-
possessing appearance. 1t was not
common face that smiled down on us,
showing a long row of dazzling teeth,
4 white, sensitive nose, an intelligent
forehead from which the hair WAS
drawn back assertively, and pair of
dark gray eyes, capable of anything /;
not n common figure that stood re-
vealed when the door was opened-tall,
graceful, simply elegant, and dressed
with faultless taste, and the first gues-
tion that mystified me was how such n
lady came to be travelling alone in
third-class carriage and at this early
hour.
She stood at the open door in en-
barrassment that added charm to her
face. The platform did not extend to
the carriage. The depth of the ground
was considerable, the step awkward.
She put out the neatly booted foot,
aud drew it back hastily; all the time
she kept her hands close in her muR',
which made the descent more imrrac-
ticable. With faint tinge Of color
in her pale cheek, and her fine eyes
twinkling with vexation, she said
''0lay I ask YOU to help me? l have
hurt my hands they are useless Z"
