however, succeeded in arousing him.
He Immediately passed through tho
car, empty now of all but the sick
woman, to the diner just beyond, only
to find every table filed except the
one at which sat the girl in blue. He
was gazing longingly at the vacant
place when suddenly he became con.

side him. He turned. It was the sick
woman standing there staring straight
at her husband, her face colorless

His wife staggered back to her seat
In the other coach. and Herbert fol-

After Mrs. Halstead was seated, he
started again eagerly, hopefully, for
that vacant place beside the girl of his

And though he had lost his appetite
as well as his heart, he kept on into
