 She sat hy tha cur window, gazing out upon the uurolling scenery and pos. eibly dreaming of home and things like that,
 About six feet away from her. across tho aisle. was an empty seat, which at the next station vas hled by man with 8 sample ease Ha was 50 years of age or thereabout and was quito as dap per looking aa if he were 50 and still tho knight to please every fair dame who set her soft eyes upon him.
 The lady was young and pretty, with perhaps a shade too much display in her makeup but still one oonld hardly say rhat for all is not gold that glitters in such cases--or words to hat effeot
 When the la had sat down in the vacant seat and composed himself for the journey before him, he began to look about to familiari2e himself with his environments, and in the course of his visual wanderings his eyes fell upon the young lady He gave a slight start, as people do wlieu they think they see somebody they know, and looked again.
 The lady wash t looking, of course But she wasn asleep.
 Not in the slightest.
 After D minute or two CT three os four of hesitating investigation tho tray. cling man, for t was he, arose and very politely and deferentially approached the young lady

 It was now his turn to gaze at her in startled wonder
 8Oh, that's all right, she laughed, moving over to make room beside her and I'll forgive yuu You know I am not Miss Morton ot Philadelphia or any where else, and so do I know it. Bui sit down. I'm lonesome, and I'd just az soon have pleasant little talk with yon as not. I'm to meet mamma at tho ste tion where wo take dinner.
 I beg your pardon, said tho travel ing man, backing away. q am sure if you are not Bliss Morton I have no de. sire whatever to talk with you

 This picturesque group entered the station house about 3 P. n.
 They were led into the section room, where Duke seemed to gain more eonfi- dence in those around him. Flo wanted help, not for himself, but for his little master. Finally he let a policeman ex. anime his collar, and the bluecoat read aloud to the sergeant No 8l, 563, the license number.
 Then the telephone bell rang, and the sergeant repeated the numerals to tho clerk away down town in the office of the Society For the Prevention of Cruel ty to Animals Dukes name is on it's books alongside his license number. He is described there and hia age is record ed. but best of all were his master's name and address.
 There was only a few minutes delay, when the clerk told tho sergeant the name of Duke master. The little boys papa was thus learned to be Berthold Tismar, who lives at 503 Brook avenue. The little boy 5 name is Bernard. He is called Barney

 Captain Anderson. superintendent of the Yellowstone National park, says that an effort is being made to secure legislation from congress which wouid add the Jaekson's Hole country to the park. The area which it was proposed to take in is about 90 miles square and contains Jackson's lake and the Th-ee Futon mountain peaks. It is rich in natural scenery and would, in the opin- ion of the captain, add materially to tke park attractiyeness. Senator Car ter of Montana has drafted bill for that purpose, which has the indorse- ment of the senators from Montana and Idaho, but the Wyoming senators have not yet been won over. -0mana hes.
