One day Juanita Holland and Dawn
set out for Lexington to do their
Christmas shopping.

as they stood in the vestibule OF the
rickety passenger coach. 1t was u very

in his hand and said: I'm mighty glad
ter see We, Dawn"
The girl looked about the place, and
breathed rather than asked: Isn't the
world wonderful, Milt?"
Two days followed through which
Dawn passed In transports of delight
There we're the undreamed sights of
shop-windows decked for the holiday
season. and the crowds on the streets,
and the gayety and merriment OF
Christmas everywhere. She had never
heard so much laughter before, and
she found It infectious, and laughed,
too.
At last she found herself again in a
faded plush car beside Juanita, with
Young Milt sitting opposite. Old Nit
was on that train, too, but he paused
only to nod before disappearing into
the shabbier smoking compartment,
where he had business to discuss. A
man was waiting for him in there
whom old acquaintance might have
passed by without recognition. 1t was
the hope Of Milt McBriar that when
they left the train at Peril, any &C.
quaintances who might be about would
do just this.
While the Christmas shoppers
laughed In the day coach. Luke Thix.
ton received final instructions in the
empty smoker.
He was to pass as swiftly and un.
obtrusively as possible through Peril
and go direct across the ridge.
He and Milt would leave the train
without conversation or anything to
mark them as companions. After that
Luke knew what he was to do, and no
further conference would be necessary.
