met Nellie, and then wondered how to
ask the question. 1t was very simple,
but he could not say it. He framed a
sentence and voiced it inwardly to
see how it sounded. The longer he
waited the harder it was to say.

he realized he was speaking.
Yes, several times. She was with
her father. A charming girl, said the
Major, and repeated reflectively, and

Charlie "The brute" A huge dis

Major, pitching his cigar stump out of
the window, seFenely unconscious that
the other man wanted to kick him.

To say she cast her eye is unfair.
Nature had already cast it for her.
At any rate, she fixed it on the arch
of the station roof, and at the same
time laid her hand on her MISTRESS

trunk little behind her on the right

with gathering horses and silent wheels,
had just discharged their respective
fares. These were strangers to one
another, but each told the porter to
label his luggage to C, SO 1t was
piled on the same trolley.
The porter said there was a through
coach to c., and led the way with
the luggage For two single men
there was a good amount of it-hat
boxes, gun cases, golf clubs, rugs and
portmanteaux, and one had cycle.
Charlie Soper was very tall, very
young, and very fair. Major Sllmm
was six feet\two in his socks, and at
least four feet around; and the two,
one wheeling his machine, and the
porter with the traps, made quite an
imposing procession. At any rate,
they impressed Clarissa Fagg, who gaped
upon them with her mouth and brought
up in the rear admiringly.
The porter was a man who knew
his work. He found a 1st smoking"

trolley alongside then made a show
of feeling the footwarmers, and went
running down the platform In search
of hot ones.

feet and dived after her oranges.
