it comes. Where's that agent? Never
mind him, anyway! If only one old
lady gets off, I shall know it is Sans
grandmother without any introduce
tion. I'd better be near; the dear old
soul may need help to get off,
Jack gallently drew very close to the
train as it stopped, and stood waiting
for his passenger. Half dozen coun-
trymen, two women with babies in
their arms, and a fat colored woman,
nobody else, except a slender girl in
stylish black suit, ait whom even
woman-hater Jack had to cast a Sec
ond glance, she was SO exceedingly
pretty and attractive.
''Where's my old lady," he said to
himself. "SOmething must have hap
pened, for she is certainly not here. 7
wonder why she did not come?'
But as she had not, he was about to
go back to the buggy, when he saw
the handsome girl standing near him
with a perplexed look on her lovely
face.
Jack stepped up, lifting his hat

sWered:

II do not, indeed returned Jack,
astonished. ''But [ came here from
Woodside myself. 7, too, expected to
meet lady who has not arrived-Mrs.
Dermott''
The lady smiled again, and said
brightly:
"Oh, then We are all right! 1 am
Mrs. Captain Dermott, and you must
be the friend Sam wrote they we're ex-
pecting from the city"
81 am Sans friend, certainly. but
but-there is some mistake," stam-
mered Jack. ell came to meet
Sans grandmot Their, a very old lady +"
A merry little laugh was his answer.
II think there is no mistake, Mr.
Cameron" Jack barely had sense
to supply.
'"Fhank you, Mr.. Cameron; then

grandmother, though perhaps not so
old as might have been expected. Did

he was an old man, for he was so good
to me-" she added, honestly, a regret
