TWO YOUNG TRAVELLERS.

op tho Rhynland.
Among the passengers on board the
steamer Rhynland recently were two
little children. a boy and girl, who
were travelling alone to different points
in Ohio. says the Philadelphia Inquirer
The boy was George Cough, nine years
old, a bright, sturdy. little fellow. who,
owing TO the serious illness of his
mother had been sent from Harrington,
England. To be cared for by his Uncle

hospital. The boy was well clothed
and very scdate. He was the proud pos

peared 10 feel rich.
The girl, in marked contrast to the
boy, was as wild as she is pretty,
curly, fair-haired eigbt-year-old, Mabel
Rlaney, of Walsell, England, who was
going to join her mother at 272 West
Sixth street, Cincinnati. Both children
had become great friends while crossing
and were familiar with almost all the
passengers. The boy took his place by
Chief Inspector Hughes desk. and as
the immigrants filed in front he would
correctly give the name of almost every
one. Each and everyone of the passen-
gers had kindly farewell for the little
lad.
On the pier the children feasted on
such delicacies as were TO be purchased
at The lunch counter and drank copious
draughts of soda water with evident
relish. They rushed hther and thither
the girl always in the lead, and varied
their delight by occasional quarrels.
AS soon as the majority of passengers
had left the pier the two children were
provided with railroad tickets, pro-
visions for the journey, and, after be-
ing duly tagged with the full directions
as TO destination, they were turned over
TO the railroad company's representa-
tive, their friends being duly notified by
telegraph of their coming.
