TUESDAY,


The newness Of the experience Of
travelling on the train was beginning
10 wear of and the Hooper children were
not as enthusiastic about their second
night on board as they were about the
first, and eating on the dining car had
lis drawbacks in as much as they al
ways seemed to be quite as hungry after
they finished meal as before, IN spite
Of the large amount Of money that their
mother paid Tor 1t right before their
eyes.
Mrs. Hooper's head ached from the
motion of the car, and sitting still for
so many hours with nothing special TO
do worried her and made her nervous,
SO that she was even more anxious than
she had been yesterday TO see The end
Of the journey. They were due IN In
dianapolis about o'clock tomorrow
morning, and although there were
twenty -four hours Of travel before them,
they had already begun 10 count the
hours until they should pull into re
station and find Mr.. Hooper waiting to
greet them.
IN get OF at the next station and
mail those post cards for you, Helen
! said Roger as he watched his sister ad.
dressing them with difficulty as the train
raced along.
NO, III mail them myself" answered
his sister ungraci0usly. u don't want
you to read what I've written on them"
Why not?" asked Roger.
Because I don't snapped Helen.
But, my dear, that IS no reason at
all" interposed Mrs. Hooper IF you
write on q postcard to your friends you
are not supposed to care who reads it.
I That's why 1 shall be very particular
that you do not get the habit Of dashing
off postcards 10 people. To me it al
ways seems Ike a little discOurtesy and
looks as II you don't think enough OF
/ a person to take the little extra trOubls
TO write them a letter"
"Oh, I intend to use the nice writing
/ paper that the girls gave me to write
/ letters TO them on" said Helen, "but
, these postcards that l am writing on the
/ way have only a few lines on them
/ I'D Just like to know what she's
written that she doesn't want ne to
/ see" leased Roger.
You mustn't be curious, Roger Al,
swered his mother. 'tf she doesn't wan:
us 10 know why We viii just have to Ict
II go at that"
/ "Oh, don't care II you know, mother
said Helen, but you mustn't tell Roger
+ If l let you see"
Helen crossed over 20 the seat IN
which her mother sat with Betty facing
the one she had occupied with Roger.
Smuggling up beside her and shading
the postcard with her hand so that
/ Roger could by no possibility see 1t, she
let her mother read
/ Am having g lovely trip, but I'm
/ awfully lonesome already for old May
field"
I Mrs. Hooper smiled at her IS she read
the lines. Remembering all Helen's toast
ing at her delight at leaving Nayfeld
and that she was certain she would
never miss it. Mrs Hooper was not sur
prised that she didn't want Roger to see
what she'd written.
I'VE are missing all this beautiful
scenery while we are talking idly" Mrs.
Hooper reminded them. They all looked
hastily out Of the window at the coun-
try through which they were now pass
ing and through which tbsy had been
travelling since they got up.
It's grand, OF course" said Roger,
but I don't think It beats the svoodsy
country around Mayfeld, do you?r
