CHAPTER XXX.
Ambrosia In Arcadia.

Passengers and trainmen went for
ward to investigate. Left alone,
Esther leaned far out of the door and
peered forward, but could see nothing
of them. In front the train curved
out of sight around the shoulder of the
mountain. An undulating sweep Of
white sand and gray sage brush
stretched on either side to the hori-
zon-that was all. Breathless and ap-
~prehensive, she waited. She could
hear the steady hiss of escaping steam,
an occasional shout far beyond: for
the rest. desert silence.
1t was late in the afternoon, yet the
sand reflected the heat in pulsing
waves. burning her cheek. She
climbed down after q little and walked
forward, meeting one OF the brake
men.

place for you--it's not"
"Oh, what Is 1T" she interrupted
a~nxiously. rs any one hurt? Can't
I help?"
NO; not now, anyway. No one can
help n poor fellow; he's passed in

other out before he dies"
Esther felt faint. yet kept pace with
his h~urrying stops.
Miss Anthony, won't you please go

He passed her and hurried into the
car. IN a moment he ran by again
with blankets. q basin, and q bucket
OF water,
The car he had designated was
partly filed with q great pile Of cab
bages, and looked rather impossible.
Esther sat down on the end Of q tie
In the shade Of the train and waited.

ans part was especially distasteful to
her. Yet here obedience was evident

But while the sky was yet red, well

men came around the curve, holding

Esther stepped between the cars. and
with averted ayes waited for them to
pass. With gentlest care they lifted
him into the car. The sufferer moaned
unconsciously. and Esther tried to be-
iieve that he knew nothing OF his pain.
Four nor men appeared with q laden
blanket: this was q winding-sheet. The
men spoke no word. and were uncov-
cred. Their burden. too. they bore on to
