Bradley put II carefully into his pock-

But that evening when he reached
home he tucked the print into his
looking glass aud went TO sleep to
dream OF the girl Ills own vacation

We're probably fifty or sixty stations
along the line precisely like the one
in the picture. Instead Of buying a
ticket to the fishing country. as he had
at first intended. he purchased a mile
age book and started out to find the
station.
Just above the door In which the girl
had been standing he noticed pecul-
lar knot In the boards. and, giving up
only sufficient mileage to carry him
on to the next wooden station, he
made his way down the line. He rode
on the same train until dusk prevent

stations and then left the train, to the
great relief Of the conductor, who had

The second days search was no
more successful, and on the evening
Of the third day he had come to the
end of the line without having locat-
Cd the station he sought.
He bought another mileage book and
turned back over the road. and this
time no found the place for which he
sought. The station had been newly
painted, and the knots had been GOV.
cred up by the paint.
But he found that the station was
only the first step. There still remained
the girl. There were half dozen
places where summer boarders were
taken, he learned from the station
agent. He picked out one and made
arrangements to have his trunk for
warded, and then he settled down to
prosecute his inquiry.
"Seeing the train come In" was q
popular occupation with the summer
visitors, and Bradley did not let q
single train escape him. He hune

the station agent he made no progress
It was apparent that the girl he had
sought had gone.
