When HuhhN Fooled Her

Mrs. Scatterbrain was constantly
bemoaning her lot. Her husband, who
was entitled to place half the letters
of the alphabet after his name, had
the most treacherous memory in the
world. He could remember nothing
his wife told him, in spite of bits Of
string round his finger and knots in
his handkerchief. Only once did Mr..
Scatterbrain remember to do his wlfe's
bidding.
Said friend to Mrs. Scatterbrain I:
II think you are getting as bad as
your hubby. | got note from you
yesterday dated a whole week ahead"
"Heavensr' gasped Mrs. Scatter
brain, trembling with the shock. MY
husband must have posted it the very
day | gave it to him."

 "Well, just thought I'd tell you because, if you did intend going to ! the station, thought you probably wouldn't want to miss 1t and get there too late. I've got your hat, here. all nicely brushed for you. Its nearly twenty minutes of l, Willie" "WhatW
 "Yes, it Is. Its"-
 She had no further speech. with him
 Breathless, William flung open his door, seized the hat, racketed down the stairs and out through the froAt door, which he left open behind him. Eight seconds later he returned at a galop. hurled up the stairs and. into his room. emerging instantly with some thing concealed under his coat
 Mrs. Baxter sighed and went to q window in her own room and looked out.
 William WAS already more thsn half way to the next corner, where therS was car line that ran to the station, but the distance was not too great for Mrs. Baxter to comprehend the nature of the symmetrical white parcel now carried in his right hand. Her face became pensive as she .gazed after the flying slender figure. There came to her mind the recollection. of a seyOR- teen-year-old boy who had brought q box of candy-a small one, like VII iam's-to the station once, long ago, when she had been visiting in Another town. For just moment she thought of that boy she had known so many years ago and smile came vaguely upon her lips. She wondered, what kind of @ woman he had married and how many children he had and Theth- CT he was 6 widower-
 The fleeting recollection passed. She turned from the window and shook her head, puzzled.
 "Now, where on earth could Jane and that little KIrsted girl have SoneT' she murmured.
 At the station William. descending from the street car, found that he had six minutes to spare. Reassured of so much by the great clock In the sta ton tower, he entered the building and, with calm and dignihed steps, crossed the large waiting room. Those calm and dignifed steps were taken by feet which little betrayed the trem' ulousness of the knees above them
 He made sure that the person hs sought was not in the waiting room. Therefore he turned to the doors which 1 gave admission to the tracks, but De- fore he went out he paused for an tn- stant of displeaSure. Hard by the door stood a telephone booth, and from inside this booth a little girl of nine or ten was peering eagerly out at Wil' liam, her eyes just above the lower level of the glass window in the door
 Even a prospect thus curtailed re- vealed her as a smudged and dusty little girl. To William she suggested nothing familiar. As his glance hap pened to encounter hers the PeerinG eyes grew instantly brighter with ex, cltemeut. She exposed her whole coun' tenance at the window and impulsiyely made face at him.
 Three seconds later the dusty faced little girl and her moue werO sped ut terly from Williams mind. For af the doors swung together behind hin he saw Miss Pratt. There were no gates nor iron barriers to obscure the view. There was no train shed to darken the air. She was at some dis tance, perhaps POO feet, along tho tracks. where the sleeping, cars of the long train would stop. But there she stood, mistaknble for no other on thiH wide earth
