In Time.

The waiting-room of the Boston anu
Dakota Railroad station was not.
Everything about it, from the dingy
letters on the door to the shaoDy
red plush of the seats, was dirty. An
odor of bananas and peppermint came
from the refreshment stand. Near the
door two schoolgirls in snowy mats
were eating caramels and rolling their
eyes at the ticket agent. A shrlveleo
old lady sat in a retired corner, sur
reptitiously adding to the dusty Pile
of peanut shells which lay under the
seat. Halfway down the room,
sticky child in a dirty white cap, be-
ing forbidden to roll on the hoof'
kicked its mother frantically and gave
vent to a series of angry shrieks.
Between the windows sat girl who,
from her small velvet turban to the
tip of her polished boot, seemed the
very embodiment of luxury. Her
mouth had determined expression,
but her blue eyes were unsophist1ca-
ted and there was an admiring, trust
full look in them as she gazed at the
man by her side.
He appeared less obviously out of
place in the forlorn surroundings. His
clothes were new-too new; and he
seemed i'll at ease. His somewhat ex-
pressionless eyes rolled nervously and
he alternately fingered his glove but
ton and fondled a scrubby little mus
tache.
Suddenly there was a rattle and jar
at the dingy door and an elderly man
hastily entered. He cast a glance
about the room, and then walked d1-
rectly toward the pair by the window.
The young man started up at his ap-
proach and began to speak with evil
dent embarrassment.
eve are-that is-you see"
Come, Marguerite, interrupted the
gentleman, I'VE have just time to catch
the three-forty- train for home"
He held out his hand for the travel
ing bag. The young girl drew herself
up resentfully.
Father she said, alfred and I are
together now, at last-and forever"
She smiled and looked proudly up
to the young man by her side for con-
firmation. He had picked up her bag
from the seat and was about to hand
it over her to her father. Her cheek
paled slightly and then flushed. Silent
ly she took the bag from his hand as
from that of servant; then lifting the
breadths of her skirts, she turned to
her father with smile; just time,
she repeated mechanically" just time
to catch the three-forty-

The mountaineers who form the two

A Message.

A Message.
Tonight, dear lad, the sun unrolled
A glowing bridge of beaten gold,
Across the uncertain blue;
And, in the glory of its track,
I sent a homesick wanderer back
A longing thought to you.
Sweetheart, be on the watch tonignt
Between the sunset and starlight;
Perchance my thought will come
On silent sandals from the west,
To lay its face against thy breast,
Albeit it's lips are dumb.

Dumfries Her dress was prettily if
not over-fashionably cut, a straw hat
shaded her bright blue eyes, and her
boots and gloves were those of a lady.
Under her arm she carried several
books-school books, to all intents and
purposes.
By her side, talking to her eagerly,
was young man about three years her

From time to time as she tripped
along with her companion she had to
stop and exchange words with passers-

Her companion, John Sutherland,
was fair compleXioned and very pale.
He was plainly clad in suit of dark
tweed. and wore a wide-awake hat
His whole aspect betokened delicate
health, and there was sad light in his
blue eyes which told of a thoughtful
spirit lodging within. His manners

jorie had asked, after some previous
conversation.
Last night, by the express from
London answered the young man.
s'I'm going down to see the old folk
tonight. Shall you be at the manse?'
Marjorie nodded, smiling gayly.
''And how did you like London?' she
demanded. Did you see the queen?
and Westminster Abbey? and did you
go to the great tabernacle to hear
Sturgeon preach?"
