had fallen asleep. Before he told
them goodnight he rang for a porter
to make up their berths.
"And now you are all right? Is
there anything l can do? Well, then
remember your are to have break
fast with me in the morning"
Helen's mind was full of many
things as she absently watched the
porter pull down their berths, take
out the covers, slip on the clean linen
and then fasten the heavy curtain on
the rings.
Helen's Strange Dream.
When she helped her mother to
undress and get comfortably settled
she took Winifred in with. her. All
day Winifred had been unusually
good, and now the motion of the train
soon lulled her to sleep.
Helen drew up the shade by her
pillow and long after the other pas
sengers were quiet she still lay gaz-
ing out at the night.
And when at length she fell asleep,
it was a strange and confused dream
in which she seemed always trying
to reach Warren, but in some way he

always seemed to be turning from
her. The place changed from a de5-
ert-like waste to 4 dense forest. And
still she was calling out to Warren,
who still was just a little further on.
And yet she could never reach him
or even make him hear.
Helen was awakened by heavy
lurch of the train. changing bell and
a sound of kissing steam. She drew
up the shade by her pillow, raised
herself on her elbow and looked out.
They were in a great arched station

name OF the place. And then as a
newsboy dashed by, waving a paper
she saw the heading. the Cincinnati"
So this was Cincinnati. She took
her watch from her handbag. 1t was
half past seven. She drew aside the
curtains and glanced down the car
The white coated porter was making a
berth: and a number of sections we're
already UP.
She would hurry and dress herself
and Winifred, and then help her moth

VIII Farrell came through. His berth
was in the next car, and he had said
he wanted them to breakfast with
him at nine.
There was nothing much more diff
ficult than to dress a baby a
sleeper. While Winifred very
good just the getting things in and
out of satchels in such close quarters
was exasperating. And the going out
to the dressing room, carrying both
Winifred and a satChel was not easy.
And Winifred, who had never hathed
except in her own little tub. objected
most strenuously to the sponging off
process on a lurching train.
Then Helen had to help her mother
whom the night in the berth had Civ
en- a severe headache.
It was just nine when VIII Farrell
came through to take them in 10

and he dined with u.s."
"That was the night you said"
her mother hesitated.
Yes bitterly; "that was the
night Warren came home half-intox-
icated. / don't think 1 was ever so
embarrassed. Oh, there-he's turning
now! Yes, it's Willard he sees
u.s."
Helen flushed and looked down at
her plate as he rose from. his table
and came towards them.
"Why this IS surprise" shaking
cordially with them both.
After the first few moments of
greeting and explanation, he insist
ed that they both dine with him.
Helen's mother had always liked Will
Farrell and now her presence relieved
any embarrassment which Helen
might have felt.
, 1t was very pleasant dinner, Hell
en- had always had childish delight
in meal on a dining car.
So Different From Warren.
Will was most thoughtful and at
tentive, and Helen found herself
comparing his solicitude for their
comfort with the careless indiffer-
ence she had so long received from
Warren.
After dinner he took them back to
the observation car. Just the way
he had the porter place their chairs
the eager service he seemed always
|! to receive impressed Helen, as it al
ways had, with the strong person
atty of the man.
There is nothing that so thrills a
woman as the sense of being looked
after and taken care of by man
whom she feels could easily master
any situation that might arise There
is an atmosphere of reserved force
about such a man, that is the essence
of their masculinity.. And now. as
she sat beside Will Farrell, Helen was
more than ever conscious of this.
For almost an hour they stayed
| there looking out on the n1oolit coun-
try and the tracks that seemed like
an endless ladder always slipping
from beneath the car and leading
back through the dark hills.
When at length they arose, Win
