watching the trees and telegraph poles
fly past, while the grown-ups arranged
the travelling rugs and grips and got
things in shape before night came.

seeing some pretty flowers up the road
started after them, but the train start

Carl was left behind, very angry
and frightened boy as it was almost
dark and it would be an hour or two
before the next train would be along,
but in the meantime he telegrapned
ahead to the next station.
Meanwhile every one was excited in
the Hopkins party. Mary and Jessie
were crying, but Mr.. Hopkins told

of himself; besides it would teach him
a lesson.
When they reached Ogden they wait

Our party of travellers started at 4:30
o'clock. The girls could hardly wait till
the train came, but soon they were
settled in seats on the shady side. They
were to travel all night in the train.
When 1t was time to have their sup
per they found out that they had left
their basket of food at the depot. They
had brought the basket of food along
because they did not want to go into
the dining car. Mary and Jessie began
to cry, because there were some cakes
in the basket that they had made.
Papa said: II will go and buy some
thing to eat the next time the train
stops"
Just then the train stopped and papa
went out. In five minutes he came
back and brought all kinds of good
things to eat. Mary and Jessie soon
were happy
Next morning they came to San
Francisco. where they were to stay one
day. They had a very pleasant time.
and when they went on the ferry boat
to Oakland Jessie nearly fell into the
water Carl saved her by catching
hold of her dress. They were soon on
their way again.
The next place they stopped at was
st. Louis. They got there without any
accident and stayed there two days,
when they went on to Chicago.
When they were between two little
towns in Illinois the train suddenly
stopped The reason was that the en-
gineer hurt his head when he was lean
ing down to get something. He bumped
it so hard that he fell down insensible.
