Her thoughts came around again TO
the vacant seat facing her. she wished
she knew to whom that sea- belonged
Boss wanted to talk to some one If
only about the weather, in order to re-
lieve her pent-up feelings.
Suddenly q notion came to her that
she wanted to read that note again She
had forgotten the exact wording. There
was a certain sense of satisfaction iu
just looking at il, anyway,
Possibly, though, this might not be
safe She looked around and found that
everybody was deep in his own bust
ness: nobody would notice her
What If anyone aid? Who would
suspect that she had 5000 in cash In
the same incIosure with the note?
STOPPING down, Bess pulled her bag
beside her and unfasteHed if. Then
she slipped hand INTO the leather
pocket ana, after a moments fumbliug
brought out the note she had found
under the blotter in Toms room.
Spreading it out on her knee. with a
satisfied sense OF oRuership, she be-
gan TO read it again, just as the tram
pulled in at a station in large city
Bess did not even fook up when they
stopped. She was absorbed in repeating
the contents Of the note TO herself.
The bit of paper bore no address
whatever 1t was merely a penciIed
scrap that read.
Struck town tonight at g. Old water

know what is. Now, If can only back
it up with a few more facts, / think
i can make out a fair case TO show 20

In her enthusiasm over the note Bess
had entirely forgotten her surround
ings. 4 stir in front Of her caused the
girl TO look up confusedly.
Her last words rang in her ears.
She realized ia "a flash that she had
cried them aloud iu ner eageTness, and
that the person who mad caused the stir
i'm front Of her had heard. Bess flushed
and looked at the newcomer.
Evidently It was the person who mad
the upper berth. Bess was pleased at
finding her a girl vr about her own
age. nicely dressed, possibly little TOO
fashionably. but of n refined bearing.
As Bess looked she was suddenly
conscious that the young lady opposite
was staring hard at the note, whicn
still lay on her knee.
Bess dropped her eyes on realizing
the others curiosity. folded the note
and quickly slipped II back into its
place ia the suit case.
When she looked up again the girl
opposite had settled back in her seat,
and was gazing out Of the window
with a faraway air, a. though she had
not even noticed Bess as yet,

THE BURDEN OF PROOF

But, dear. 1 must insisted the
other.
Bess thought rapidly She could not
afford to flare up angrily. They had
been good friends on the train, but she
could not understand the persistency of
Miss Jackson now.
The porter had brushed them Off and
picked up their two bags, The train
was pulling i'm. Bess caught herself just
as she was about to hurry after the
porter and tell him she would carry her
own bag. She stopped, thinking that it
would look peculiar to Miss Jackson,
who, by this time, was getting ON her
nerves.
AS Bess watched the porter walking
down the aisle, she was puzzled TO note
that the two suit-cases were almost
identical In looks. Then 10 her relief,
she saw that her case bore the initials
"E. b. while Miss JacksOus was not

Bcss took her bag bldukIy, feeling that
she had done the right thing in spite

met ON the cars.
AS Miss Jackson haughuIy boarded
the train, which was an ready TO start,
Ress looked down at her suitcase sud
denly Her attention had been attracted
to it by its Iightness.
She turned up one end and looked at

Picking up her bag, she started to
