to eat, If they don't come directly"
AS if in answer to this remark, Mrs.
Burritt at that moment re-entered the
room. She was flushed and agitated,
and, as was apparent to the most OBJ
fuse observer, on the verge of tears.
Really, cook has been most trying"
she sighed, as she sank into the near
est chair. She almost intimated that
| had done it on purpose. She says,
she has never been used to such ways,
and that flesh and blood won't stand
it, let alone legs of mutton. She says
she can give us another ten min
utes, but no more"
The ten minutes passed, as the pre-
vious thirty had done, and at the end
OF that time three very dispirited peo
pie sat down to their spoilt dinner.
May soon noticed that her brother,
whose attention had been obviously
wandering for some time past, appear
ed to be listening to something from
without. At first her heart bounded
Could it be that they had arrived at
last? Was it the click of the gate that
he was straining his ear to catch?
or the sound of footsteps upon the
gravel drive without? So she. too,
listened in her turn, hoping to be able
to distinguish one or the other of
these welcome but long delayed sig
nails. But the only thing she could hear
was the faint sound of a voice which
seemed to be shouting something
in the distance. May also perceived
that the voice was drawing gradually
nearer, and resolving itself into that
of a peripatetic newsboy, who was
vending his wares and shouting out
the most sensational headings at the
top of his voice. Was that all? Still,
he was not yet near enough for her
to distinguish the sense of the sounds
which caught her ear from time to
time, as she absently crumbled her
bread, and thought to herself over and
over again, IF only father would come

Mrs Burritt as though the thought
had set in motion some electric cur

The 4:3o Train.

Dinner at Magnolia Lodge had been
ordered for quarter to eight, in or
der to suit the convenience of the tray-
elers, who were expected to arrive at
about that hour.
AS the time drew on, Mrs. Burritt
suddenly became troubled again in her
mind concerning the soap dish.

the best spare bedroom to be got
ready, though I've generally consid-
cred the second best good enough for
a single gentleman, and | suppose he

daughter May, who was watching from
the window.
well, it's too late to make any
change now" sighed her parent, half
relieved at having the matter sum-
marily settled; land perhaps he won't
notice the crack. do hope my cap is
on straight"
The said cap was, as usual, consld-
erably out of the perpendicular; but
as 1t happened, its lack of rectitude
was, In this instance, of no particular
consequence, for the alarm proved
false, and the cab, which had at first
appeared as though about to draw up
before the house, resumed its snail
like crawl and gradually disappeared.
Then came another spell of waiting
"They must have missed their train

perhaps the other one was late. I've
looked in Bradshaw and see that it's
due in town at seven o'clock. II So
they ought to be here by this time"
The next half-hour slowly licked
itself away without bringing any
change in the position of affairs
They were all vacantly conscious of an
increasing sense of anxiety and de
preston within. Why did they not
come? Surely If they had missed
one train, there had been plenty OF
time to catch the next? Then the
clock chimed the half-hour, and, at the
same moment, an interruption tool

Burritt, hastily. you must know very
well that it isn't that. But the truth

me that the weapon isn't loaded.
I'll- "

reply. AT any rate, it isn't loaded
now and, what is more, will also
give you my word that | will not at

OF afterthought, anyone else's."
When Mr., Burritt and his friend ar
rived at the station, the latter took
considerable amount of trouble to
insure separate compartment to
themselves-in fact, Mr.. Burritt rather
fancied he saw him give something to
the guard, who thereupon locked the
door upon them and consigned them
to solitude.
The carriage in question, it may be
worth remembering, was the fourth
from the engine.

himself as the train steamed out of
