REMAINED

hair and deeply scanned cheeks placed
one foot on the car platform. The
gateman tried to close the gate. but
she was half way on. He gave vent
to some muttered words expressive OF
his displeasure, to which the old wom-
an paid no attention. She fairly fell
down on her seat for the exertion had
been too much for her. In little
while. when she had recovered her
breath, she glanced about her in a
furtive way. Having apparently salts
fed herself that no one was watching
her with a special purpose. she hug

winters and gave bold evidence OF
close acquaintance with the moth fam

fur here and there. but the article
served its purpose. Every one won

an with her thin form and worn-out
dress was so attached to 1t.
Finally the mum answered these
questions of its own account. for Just
before the train had reached the next
station plaintive Meow" was watt
