but l think that you, like myself, have been the unfortunate victim Of d interruptions scalper.'
 She looked up and said, eagerly:
 '.Oh, did you have one of those time mi, ickets. 10 pe did the conductor m Ike you pay full fare7"
 .Yes, of course. He had to do that, you know. thought petAapo me un- expected emergency might have em- bararssed you financially. know that when ladies are away from home they are quite apt to keep their sx- penses up 10 the nmlt ot their cash on hand"
 She turned brown. appealing eyes to his.
 Really" she said impulsively, and with little hysterical giggle, T had money enough to buy legitimate ticket, and leave a good little margln for incidentals, but 1 did see such lovely bargain in a lace collar! bought it and then just had one dollar left after buying that scalper's ticket. That horrid conductor is gong to put me of as soon as we stop"
 Her tears began to flow agiin.
 No. he won't, by gracious!' thun- dered Boyden wrathfully.
 She looked at him hopefull
 That sounds like JacI. Jacks my
 ther. and he's going to meet me l told the conductor Jack would be at the station and would pay. but he wouldn't listen to me"
 You must let me help you out, said Boyden, bringing out his pocket book
 "oh. dear! I suppose I ought not to, but-oh-I never did have money look so tempting"
 That's all right Take this ten-doi- lar bill-I believe your ticket was to Buffalo That will pay your fare and incidentals"
 She thanked him effusively.
 Where do you live?" she asked Or. where are you going, now?"
 "I am going home-to Rochester" :"
 Then Jack can pay you when We get to Buffalo. If he isn't there. I can send it to you at Rochester"
 He naturally expected that she would ask for his name and address, but she didn't, and his gallantry would not permit him to ask her name lest she should think he was re- minding her of the oversight.
 When the conductor came forward. as they were approaching the next station. the young woman paid hes fare triumphantly, and Boyden glarei at him savagely, but long ago the con- ductor had become impervous to pri- vate-or public-opini0ns of passen- gers.

He vent into the Pullman coach, but the fair passenger was not there.
 She has probably hurried out to get the money of Jack, and will re- turn he thought.
 In order to facilitate this action for her, he went out on the platform and remained there until the train started but he did not have glimpse of the seventh victim of the scalper." He went back to the car. disappointed It is true. but with his belief in her good faith unshaken. She was frustrated. ]" he decided, and forgot it
 Two days later as he picked up nn evening paper he read among the per sonals:
 Will the man who loaned S10 to the holder of scalper ticket on train No. IA on Tuesday send his address to Jack Linden, care Flanders Manu- featuring company Buffalo"
 He immediately wrote to Jack Lin- den. telling him how glad he was to have rendered assistance to his sister and that he knew that only her ex- citement had prevented her asking him for his address. By return mail he received letter from Jack Linden with enclosure of check for $10, and what pleased him more, a pretty little noe of thanks from Jacks sister signed Ethel Linden, which was redo lent of yiolets and regret that Jack was ate for the train, and that the gatt ,aan would not let her out of the
