The porter put down the bags, took

looked through the now rapidly DIS
persing crowd for Della. Almost every
traveller was being greeted and car
ried of by some awaiting friend. But
where was Della? Helen's gaze was
now growing most anxious.
Perhaps she was in the waiting
room. She beckoned another porter
and had him take her bags into the
main waiting room. But Della was

seemed endless before the driver re-

helped him place it up in front and
they were soon whirling tsropgh the
crowded streets.
Home at Last
At length they drew up before the
entrance OF Helen's apartment TIE
familiar face Of the bel.boy brought
to her a sense of pleasure, of hcna-
coming, as he came running out to
help her.

Helen had sent this message from

get the apartment in order and meet

For several reasons she had planned
to surprise Warren Instead of letting

meeting would mean so much more if
he could come home to find her there.

pretty summer gowns she had had
made during her convalescence.
She wanted his first glimpse OF her
TO be 2n attractive one She lived
over and over the scene of his coming
home and his joyous surprise in find
Ing her and Winifred there.
As the train drew nearer New York
she began to count the hours until she
would see him She would send Della
for flowers and some special delicacieS
for dinner. They would make of it
very beautiful and wonderful evening.
1t had been q long and tiresome trip,
and she leaned heavily back against
the linen head rest which covered the
red plush seats. Her face was re-
hected in the narrow mirror between
the windows How pale and wan she
looked
A Chance to Rest.
She was more than ever glad that
Warren was not to meet her, and that
she would have chance to rest and
freshen up- If she let Della battle
and dress winifred. perhaps she would
have time TO lie down a while before
he came.
She was still weak from her illness.

Helen shook her head. She had
planned to take her trunk with her on
the taxscab-
The passengers were now getting
together their suit cases and hand
bags and putting on their wraps. The
whole car was in the confused stir
that always heralds the end Of a long
journey. Already they were on the
outskirts of the city.
Helen slipped on Winifred's little
coat. tied on her bonnet and then got
herself and the bags ready. Just this
preparatory stirring around made her
realize how weak she was and how
her head ached
They were now flashing through
tunnel after tunnel as they sped into
the city. At last they were in the
station-the great vaulted station, !
with its maze of trucks and waiting

Helen took Winifred and made her !
