wanted to take the first train, but her
companions laughed her out of IL. When
the second section pulled down TO load,
she stepped aboard, and her friends fol-

By this time the people round about the
village were beginning TO feel sorry for
the new agent. After all he had but

was washing his face. She raped upon
the closed window with her fan. but the

about the train when the agent put his
hand to his forehead and fell heavily to
the floor. E
The girl gave a slittle scream, but no.
body heard her. Nobody was near enough.
Nearly all the people ia the place had
gone to the picsze.s For q moment she felt
like running away but changed her mind.
She could see thai the young man wa
i'll. He had been hurt. She had seen blood
stains on his shirt front He had tainted

have any other sensible girl help Charley
If he were i'll and alone, She tried the
door that opened into the little ticket Of

she had seen the old agent unlock so Oft

Fortunately. the ex-agent, ia, leaving
the office, had slammed the door as he
hurried out ana the lock had failed TO

A moment later the agent, 'opeped his

bathed his head with her own handker-

water cooler.
1t would be difficult to say which Of the
two showed the greater embarrassment
as the agent regained consciousness.
In his anxiety to get to his feet and
help her to forget that he had tainted
he stumbled and fell again, but not in a
faint.

tleness OF her voice added a new charm
to her.

He rose and staggered from the room,

close by his side as he passed out into
the waiting room,
When he could talk better he asked
the girl how she happened to get left

train would be along. When she learned
that all the excursion trains had gone
she seemed greatly disappointed.

the prospect of helping her out Of her
trouble.
She glanced at the excursion ticket thai
she had taken from her glove. She was
about to say that would not go on the
limited, but he interrupted
'I'll fix that" he said taking the ticket
and walking unsteadily back into the tick

The captain Of the steamship Lake
Huron complained to the police last eve
ming that about 6G fathoms of nine inch
hawseJ and 80 fathoms of thee inch wire
had teen stolen from the Grand Trunk

wards mysteriously disappeared. some
of the steamship people complained that
they believed boy had stolen this rope.
They are almost sure il will be found In
the possession of some small boy. 1t is
"A most mysterious case, comparing some
what with the remarkable theft OF a
white elephant as related by Mark Twain.
In the midst of the binding snow storm
last night the police were searching for
the boy who had on his person 90 fathoms
OF nine inch hawser and 80 fathoms of
wire cable. Up to midnight the thief had
not been found nor had the rope The

leve that the rope must have fallen into
