She did not think il was right for her to
That was ALL She had written it out and
pruned it and cried over it, and then she
had copied it on fresh sheet of note-paper
so that none of the tears blotted the page
that he saw.
John walked the floor a little later than
usual that night, and he smoked an addi-
tonal cigar. He wrote two or three letters
to her The one he sent said she was no
doubt right. She might make any change
she saw fit and he would not oppose her. A
little later the papers were served on him.
He was sitting in his study one evening
when he suddenly remembered that the
trial was set for the next day. He was not
to be present He had planned an excur-
sion somewhere. but now he wanted to go
not to enter a defence, but as spectator
1t was the closing scene of his life tragedy.
All the actors come before the footlights as
the curtain goes down. He felt that he orght
to be there. He took an early train the
next morning for the city where the trial
was to be held He bought parlor-car
seat, but went into the smoker to finish
cigar.
She had taken the same train from her
fathers home two stations back. She was
going down alone and hei father was to
meet her at the depot. She was glad to be
alone, she thought, as she leaned her head
YEARLY against her hand on the window
ledge.
When he came in from the smoker he
took the only vacant seat 1t was just be-
hind hers They recognized each other of
course There was moments hesitation,
and then each bowed gravely. 1t was per-
fectly natural for them to bow, and yet it
seemed strange to both of them. He sat
down behind her and took up newspaper
She had not seen him once in all the year
since they separated. She wished she might
turn around and look at him. She won
dered If the little gray patches around his
ears had grown any grayer or larger, and
whether the Trim places on his temples were
growing quite paid, as they had threatened
to do. She remembered that once she had
promised to kiss the place, to make the hair
grow-and big hot tear rolled down her
cheek Then she Strengthened up and tried
to read.
John did not get interested in his news
paper. Her chair was very high, and COM
pletely hid her from his view. He tried to
imagine how she looked but his magma
ton was not very good, and he failed
utterly. He wished she would swing around
a little in her chair. Why did she sit there
so quiet and still 1t made him inpatient
Then he laughed at himself and tried two
or three times to go back to his newspaper
Presently one of the little incidents that
happen so often on a railway train occurred
She required. a triAing assistance. and John

A Railway Comedy.

T was only case of incompatibility.
They grew quarrelsome by degrees
and over little things. At first they
made up laughingly, with a quick
caress and tender word. They were real
quarrels and they hurt, but they were short,
and when she came back into his arms
after them she seemed even dearer than
before. Then came the slower, sullen
trouble. Beginning anywhere. the old ami
mosities kept coming up again and again.
There, Nell" he would say, YEARLY,
we are at it again. We better stop"
And the caress that marked their resump-
zion of amicable relations was forced in
stead of impulsive, and they got it over
quickly as they could. And then they grew
bitter. He stayed away from home as
much as he could, and she forgot to take
care of her personal appearance, and she
cried so much that her nose was always red
when he did come home.
One day he got up from the table with an
impatient fling and went into the library,
shutting the door with slam. Presently
the door opened slowly and she came in,
looking very quiet and little paler than
usual. He was standing with his back to
the open fire, and he did not move as she
came to him and put her two hands on his
shoulders.
"John," she said, this is awful Can't
We help iii
He looked at her heavily for a moment,
and then deliberately took down her hands
and pushed her slowly away from him.
Eyes, Nell," he said, roughly, " we
might help it, but your soft ways won I
help you any now"
She looked at him in silence and then
turned and went quietly out of the room
He put on his over oat and went down
town When he came back in the evening
he had made up his mind to tell his wife
that he was ashamed of himself. but he did
not find her He found a little note in
stead. There was a lunch spread out for
him on the table, bur he did not eat any of
II. The note said she had gone home to her
mother. She did not think she could make
him happy, and she was sure she was not
happy herself. She thought 1t better for
them to live apart than go on as they had
been. John swore good deal. He tramped
up and down the little library, smoking a
cigar savagely with his hands thrust deep
into his pockets. BY the end of year the
cigar and the restless nightly walk had be-
come habit
1t was little more than year later that
he received letter from her. II was very
short and gentle. She thought 1t would be
better for both of them II they were free.

" II this man is troubling you, madam"
he said. - / will see that you are relieved of
the annoyance
John sprang up in twinkling. She put
her hand on his arm
You need not trouble yourself" she
said, frigidly, to the stranger. This gen.
tleman is my husband"
"Oh Lord" exclaimed the man who
had interfered Several of the passengers
smiled audibly.

took away the cup when she had finished,
and returned just as the train started
AS the train pulled out of the depot he
leaned over to speak to her. Her chair
was turned as it had been before. When
he leaned over he did not know what he was
going to say. He asked her if she would
not turn her chair around. She made him
no answer and he repeated the question

and man across the aisle FASTENED to help
her. John was the quicker, and she ac-
knowledged the politeness with a frigid
bow The man on the other side of the car
was looking, and his interest was aroused.
When the train stopped at a way-station
to allow the passengers to lunch, she did
not get up. John went out and came back
in moment with a cup of coffee and a
sandwich. She accepted them with some
hesitation, not knowing how to refuse. He
