The nrs' day, didn't quite make IT. though l
walked more nouis ana covered q greater dis
that IS without, much help from passing teams
But II dragged some that day and II took mo
Longer To go the distance. As a matter Of fact,
! kept going that night until about half past 8
and then l. thought l was about az near tired out
as ] could be and ] stopped. with the town l was
making for still three miles distant: IL didn't seem
as. though ] could go any further And then l
did not creep under a haystack nor seek the barn.
but l went up To the front door Of the next house
| came to and rang the bell. IL was rather a largo
house, the home Of people who were evidently
in comfortable circumstances. A servant came
"a the door andl asked for the lady Of the house.

me for the first time; was about 10 ask now, In
cold blood, for a nights lodging. | had twice
