CHAPTER V.

After an extremely frugal breakfast
the doctor appeared. Howe put up the
pass talk" To John, who, IS hidden,
sat watching his smoke" he seemed
Ike a new boy. as In frankly innocent
words he told how they wished to go
To Erie and. carefully suppressing any
reference TO railway affairs. told of their
desire to go on the lakes.
The doctor. after patiently extracting
all the apparent plans of his innocent
patient. promised TO see what he could
do for them" About an hour later a
boy handed Howe a strip of blue paper

A merry, bright glow chases the rage
from the perfect face. Then as the
hand falls lovingly upon Howe's shout
Ger clear welcoming voice sings out
Frank Howe, by all that's good-where
did you come from-have you had any
thing to eat? Who is your partner
Here Howe laughingly interposed.

Arising, the trio stood for a moment
behind their chairs. From a table at
little distance distinguished gentleman
looked AT them keenly, remarking to his
companion: There Is a great future
ahead of a country that can produce
from its middle classes young men like
those standing there. From their con-
yersation. they are railway servants. as
we call them In England. and nothing

young men passed OUT to the street the

street.
