AT the far end two politicians still
talked in Low tonee. and q woman IN

heavy voices and across the entrance

smoke.

sat With wide.open. half-staring eyes.
She ~ore large felt hat and carried a
muff and q doll. Evey few moments,
rubbing clear place on the frosty pane,
che would gaze out into the darkness OF
the night. broken only by the pickering
strip Of light reflected from the moving
train on the suow-covered earth beside
the track: for hours she had been gaz-
ing this wsy-gszing and listening
ducamily. to the regular clicking OF the
wheels ON the rails. She was coming

Finally the music OF the Sheele over

to the corner, half ehiveriDg, and slept,
her head resting against the window

and the other holding tightly 10 the doll
which sprawled on the seat beside her.
Then the train pulled up to little
station and stopped for water and fuel.
There vas very little hustle about the

Of the depot burned brightly and a
switch-light twinkled far down the
track. All else was darkness. and To-
side the car the child slept soundly.
With the starting Of the train the
child awoxe, turned her head slowly and

saw ihe litAlsrea station. the agent and
