Car Ahead
BY Harmony Weller
Copyright. .sI.. By Associated Literary Prsas)

(Copyrisht. 1878, By Associated Literary Prsas)
George Werner entered q crowded
surface car and found the last unoc-
cupied seat. 1t CHANGED to be directly
behind = very young woman and IN
infant.
Werner attempted to become inter-
ested in his paper. but the profile Of
the girl ahead of him stole his
glances with every turn OF her head.
She was very young, very new to
motherhood apparently; the man b.
hind knew this because Of the frantic,
strained effort she made to keep the
child In one position that It might
not awake. A moro experienced
mother would have known that the
baby would rest more comfortably In
the easy relaxation of her arms. Yer.
ner remembered the fearful, breath
less clutch with which he had first
held his sisters baby, but gradually
that feeling Of holding . breakable
toy had left him.
There was that same fear in the
eyes Of the young girl ahead OF him.
and Werner knew that she was living
In momentary dread OF the child fall
ing to pieces In her arms.
He was beginning to sense the
strain of her tense attitude when the
car came to stop.
"Car ahead" yelled the conductor.
The passengers, In various stages
Of peevishness, gathered themselves
and their belongings and prepared to
follow the conductors bidding.
Not so with the woman and the
baby. She cast one startled glance at
the outgoing passengers, and then her
eyes met Verner's. There was posi-
tive tragedy in their depths. Then 1t
was that Werner saw the big suit
case on the floor beside her.
How did she manage to get on the
car If she couldn't get OF with q
suit case and ,baby?" Werner asked
himself while he raised his cap and
addressed her.
III you will permit mel will car

"Oh-if you would be 80 KIND" she
gasped in q frightened little voice,
and before Werner realized It she had

about to pick up the suit case. Il

. half blush.
Il can easily take both" Werner
told her as he swung the tiny infant
against one big shoulder and took the
suit case from her.
Her eyes are decidedly coquettish

comment as he helped her into the

niFtS. even -tholsh they had shaded
gray eyes and one elusive dimple.
When no had put her comfortably
into another seat In the car ahead
she made room for him beside her
and sent up . smile into Verner's
eyes.
Although he felt himself to b
treading ON dangerous ground. he &C.
cepted the offered seat. His destina-
ton was few blocks beyond and he
felt that his heart could not be hope
lessly damaged In SO short time. He
sighed as he wondered who the man
might be who called this little beauty
his own.
You seem perfectly at homo with
babies" the girl remarked by way OF
breaking a more or less awkward
silence.
Il have three Of my own" Werner
told her in half TESTING manner. and
wondered afterward why he wanted
to convey that impression.
oh" was all the girl said. but her
tone was noticeably colder, her atti-
tude more aloof.
The girls frigidity spurred on the
mans Imagination. He talked glibly
of q beautiful wife and children whom
he had never seen. Of q home he had
| never known.
An inscrutable smile, not unlike
that Of the Mona Lisa. lowered over
the young woman's eyes and lips.
Werner wondered whether or not she
was believing him.
A sense of irritation stole over him
at the mockery In her eyes. and when
his destination drew near he was half
glad, half sorry.

Il have a business engagement"
Thank you very much" she re-
piled sweetly, but baby's father Will
meet Us at the end of the line"
Werner bowed formally and 70
ceived q cool little nod in response.
Nor did he give way to his desire to
turn and watch the car as it whizzed
OF toward the end Of the suburban
line.
The young woman looked regret
fully after him; then she sighed -
she gaxed down at the sleeping baby
and drew him with greater tender.
ness into her arms.
He ID too good looking even for
dreams," she muFmured. and wheth-
er she referred to tho small man in
her arms or the big man on tho
street no one, perhaps not even the
girl herself, knew.
Another meeting did not occur un-
til some three months later. It was
at dance given by the suburban
yacht club.
Werner entered the ball room with
. stately beauty ON his arm. Before
they had made one turn Of the room
he knew that the little mother was
among the guests and that she was
popular with . number Of cavaliers.
The stately beauty felt Verner's arms
stiffen around her waist and won
dered at his sudden lack OF interest
in her breezy conversation.
She might be . widow, was the
thought uppermost in verner's mind,
but the brilliance of her costume and
the existence of the tiny infant prac-
tically denied this.
Together with his condemnation of
married nirts Werner felt irritated
and Jealous because Of the men who
dangled over the girls dance order.
He avoided catching her eye as long
as he could. but when she danced 80
close to him that he saw the mockery
in her expression and her nod to him
he could only return her greeting.
After that Werner found that hs was
being introduced to her.

she said. looking laughingly into his
eyes. MAY I please have both Of

"Have you q dance left, Miss

candle questioned the girl.

eyes searched the girls face. and she
laughed.

questioned without regard for the
amused listeners.

beneath her lashes. "You know-l
