Meanwhile the man on the steps of

realized that the fat traveller who was

he had obeyed it. Perhaps he was fol-

half inclined to jump off again now be-
fore 1t was too late; but looking down
q network OF tracks, n trains were
flying by in every direction. BY the time
they were out of this the speed would
be too great for him to attempt a
jump. It was even now risky, and he
was heavy for athletics. He must do 1t
at once If he did it at all.
He looked ahead tentatively to see If
the track on which he must Jump was
clear, and the great eye Of an engine
stabbed him in the face. as it bore
down upon him. The next instant 1t
swept by, it's hot breath tanning his
cheek, and he drew back ~shuddering in
voluntarily. 1t was of no use. He could
not jump here. Perhaps they would
slow up Or stop. and anyway. should
he jump or stay or board?
He sat down on the upper step the
better to get the situation in hand. Per-
haps in a minute more the way would
be clearer to jump off If he decided not
to go On. Thus he vacillated. 1t was
rather unlike him not to know his own
mind.
1t seemed as IL there must be some
thing here to follow, and yet. perhaps
he was mistaken. He had been the first
