when he made daring dash and flung
himself headlong upon the platform, to
the horror of several trainmen who
stood on the adjoining tracks.
He found the girl sitting where he
had left her, only she had flung up the
shade Of the window next her, and was
gazing with wide, frightened eyes into
the fast flying darkness. He touched
her gently on the shoulder, and she
turned with cry.

"You will at least take this" he said,
drawing from his pocket an incon-

the most decent one they had. You
will need 1t to carry your ticket And
I have put in the change. 1t would not
