in. When the girl had produced a
photograph of Mrs. Sullivan, and had
recognized the bronze-haired girl of
the train, we were both well satisfied

nature of most human, contentments.
Jennie either had nothing more to
say, or feared she had said too much.
She was evidently uneasy before
Hotchkiss. I told her that Mrs. Sulli-
van was recovering In Baltimore
hospital, but she already knew it,
from some source, and merely nodded.
She made few preparations for leav-

notes, and then, with the cat in her
arms, she climbed into the trap from

way down she told me a little, not
much.
"If you see Mrs. Sullivan" she ad-
vised, "and she is conscious. she prob
ably thinks that both her husband and
her father were killed In the wreck.
She will be in bad way. SIR"
You mean that she--still cares
ABOUT her husband?"
The cat crawled over on my knee,
and rubbed it's head against my hand
invitingly. Jennie stared at the un.
