TO me, and after a second or two, which
l guessed was spent in an inspection OF
an Illuminated surface. Lets have a
guessing game ns to how long it will
take to start the train, and how many
separate times they do this chugging.'
The ruse, transparent enough TO me
and ! guessed To the rest Of the adult
passengers, was eminently successful,
"Oh-h! Motherl How scrumptious"
the little girl caroled. "Ill tell you--
let's do this way. have these choco-
latcs, and you have pennies in your
purse, | know. II | guess nearest the
time, YOU must give me penny, and II

"No, Wen pretend that we each have
pennies" the mother said decidedly.
1T will be good arithmetic problem for
you, for fancy they're going. to make
a number of attempts TO start the motor.
And | do not care for chocolate today.
There was subtle undertonc in her
voice that made me start with anew
thought. Did, perhaps, this woman fear
that We might be in for an interminable
stay under the river, and that her child
might become hungry, and need the
chocolate before we were eNtricated? The
thought was sufficient to send, my
imagination journeying through many
wild fancies.
DO Not Re Alar med"
| thought that We were directly un-
derneath the East River. Suppose that
while we were held here there should
spring leak in the mass of masonry
over our heads. Though | knew how
utterly preposterous the idea was, yet
my fancy clung To it fearfully, and con-
sidcred it from all angles, and for an
awful second or two imagined ! heard

us? The reasoning that If something
were the matter with the power the
other trains would be also be incapable of
movement did not occur TO me until |
had felt the cold perspiration Of terror
starting out upon my forehead.
At the farther end of the car a faint
dull glow showed ilickeringly. That most
awful horror of all-the danger OF fire
leapcd into my brain. felt myself give
a Quivering gasping breath, then smoth-
cred IT quickly with sn iron determin-

There was swift, almost noiseless
movement beside me, and an indistinct
figure dropped into the chair beside
nc, brushing my garments.
