The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1896-03-26

1t was an all-night journey, and a
very old one. Perhaps the state of
the thermometer would not have mat
tered so much if the "Great London
Success" with which the company
were travelling, had made a stronger
impression upon the audiences of the
provincial towns to which it had been
presented.
They were going north and there
was a wait" of four hours in n OF
the dreariest of the Lancashire manu-
featuring towns. The company's car
riage had been detached from the
train and shunted on to a siding to
wait for the early morning train which
was to take it on to Paisley.
The men of the company had all got
out as soon as the train drew up at
the platform, and had gone off into
the town in search Of some establish
ment, no matter how lowly, which
would open it's doors to them and give
them r~efreshment.
The ladies', five in number, remained
In their compartment, huddled up in
their warmeSt cloakS, trying to get a
little sleep. But it would not do; it
vas too cold. The 'old woman" who
was really old, rubbed her eyes mis-
erably.
They've all got off, l suppose!' she
grumbled. "And of course they never
think of u.s."
A bright young girl from whose
cheeks not ever an all-nigbt journey
could take the roses, sprang to her
feet and let down the nearest window.
"They shall think of us, thought"
cried she, as she thrust her head and
shoulders out of the window. Come
and let us out! Come and let us out,
some of you, any of you!" cried she,
tmperiously. And the next moment,
catching sight, on the dimly-lighted
platform, of a figure she knew, she
cried: MIR. Ardener! Mr.. Ardener.
Come and have pity on us. We are
locked in like wild beasts; and l as
sure you we are getting very nearly
as savage. We've been kept too long
without food, you see"
The person addressed stepped nimb-
ly down from the platform and picked

tense of welcome or affection; but she
was kind, th%oughtfully attentive, gen
tie, as she would have been to "A
stranger.
/ For the truth vas that there was
nothing in Tom Anderson to ten
der feelings in the woman who had
found him out. He took her attentions
in a hang-dog fashion, with some lit
tie shame, perhaps, but with still more
irritation. When he had eaten his sup
per and was provided with a cigarette
he began to assume airs of lofty in
~dignation at the words he had over
heard Cyril address to her.
Il don't know whether that's the
way YOU have been allowing every
young ~iackanapes you met to speak TO
you While | have been away!' grum-
bled he. my poor darling indeed
But, much to his Amusement, Con-
anc burst Il laughing.
She had been so gentle that he was
prepared to find her humble, also, and
ready to allow him to get the upper
again.
