Travelling Without
Escort.

A young lady who last fall
journeyed from St. Paul to Duluth
had a very uncomfortable adven.
ture. She reached the station
just as the train was starting, and
had only time to jump into the
first Pullman, where she dropped
upon a seat. Not until the train
was in motion did she notice that
she had a single fellow passenger.
man, young, well dressed, but of
a somewhat forbidding aspect.
The young lady unfolded news
paper and began to read, but as
the first station was passed she
CHANGED to glance again toward
the other end of the carriage.
The young man was there, but
his face was no longer serene.
He appeared to be greatly agi-
tated, and was gazing intently in
the direction of the young lady.
A sudden, overwhelming fear
took possession Of her. All the
wild stories of train hold-ups
which she had ever heard rushed
through her mind. She felt her.
self doomed. She thought of
shrieking for help, but her tongue
refused to move. The monster
for so he seemed to her-looked
anxiously about him, apparently
to assure himself that the time
was ripe for his murderous design.
Then he advanced to the other
end of the carriage, came quite
close to his panic stricken fellow
passenger, and put his right hand
into his light overcoat pocket.

farthest from my thoughts, but
the fact is, I have to alight at the
next station, and since you entered
the train you have been sitting on
my hat" The revulsion of feeling
on the lady's part can better be
imagined than described. Blush
es took the place Of panic. For
tunately the hat was soft one.
