SHSSSEHHSSSHHSSSSHS, At the Immigration Station.! l By ABBIE FRANKLIN RUST. ] "Yes," said the matron at the im- ' migration station reflectively, "we do 1 have lots of queer experiences here and pitiful ones, too.

After years of oppression and scrimp- < Ing and saving some must give up the hope of a new life in a new land. Yes, there's lots of sad things happen and plenty of happy ones as well, j Weddings? Yes, we have them most every day. There was one the other day, perhaps you'd like to hear about it? It was out of the common. Not the wedding but the circumstances. "Among the last load of immigrants was an English girl, fairhaired and blue-eyed, a very gentle, modest girl who seemed too timid to have ventured so far from home alone. She told the officials that she had come over from a Lancashire mill town in order to marry her sweetheart who had been in this country for five years. He was expecting her, she said, and would surely be at the wharf to meet her, but when the big liner was tied up at the dock there was no sign of the young man, and so she was given in my charge until he came to claim her. < "It was a very sober face that she j turned away from the steamer, and. all she could see of the busy life about her seemed to Increase her evident uneasiness. I found by questioning her that her lover lived in an Inland city some miles away and that It would take some hours to get word to him. " 'He will come on just as soon as he learns you are here,' I said encouragingly. " 'Yes,' she answered eagerly, T know that. He will remember that I am all alone in a strange country with no one to turn to,' and she made a brave attempt to smile. "In spite of her determination to be cheerful, I was not surprised to be awakened in the night by a sound of sobbing from the English girl's room. It was a long time before I could find out the reason. 'No, she was not sitk,' 'No, she was not worried for fear Stephen would not come* and so on, but at last the real reason developed. "She had sorted from home full of hope and courage, but as the miles that separated her from her sweetheart diminished, a fear began to creep into her heart in spite of all her efforts to banish it. Stephen had been living in the new world now for Qve years; he was no longer the simple English mill hand as ignorant as herself of the world and the world's ways. He had become an American, accustomed to American ways; he had been successful in his chosen calling in the new country; had he not sent her the money to pay for her passage? But his thoughts and ambitions were different from those of the mill hand she remembered and perhaps his ideals had changed, too. "All during the long voyage she had tortured herself with this thought. Perhaps he did not love her any more. After seeing the smart American girls could he still have the eame feeling for his countryfifjd 1 TTT^..1 ^ -u ~ V? S ^wcciucait: vvuum uc hul ue ashamed of her, of her dress, her un- * taught accents? Probably Stephen * felt all this himself, but had been too 5 honorable to break his word and had * sent her the money, to come over, al- 1 though he no longer felt the same to- ( ward her. "The girl had argued the question 5 over and over in her mind until it had ( become too much for her and she im- } plored me to tell her what she ought ; to do. Should she go back to Eng- 1 land again or should she try to make : her way alone in the new country if the officials should allow her to land? " Perhaps in a little while she could 1 grow more like the American girls, lifcp thnsft shfi harl sppn nn thp steamer, and so nearer his new ideals, and then she might let him know 1 where she was and he would come to 1 her and they might be happy again s together. 1 "She had worked herself into such 1 a state of mind that it was a long time before I could convince her that ' she had nothing to fear from her ! sweetheart if he was still true to her. J " 'He will not care for your clothes 1 or your accent,' I said, encouragingly. 'He will look once into your eyes and [ if he sees the same love shining there that he saw when he looked into them 1 the last time in the little mill town in England he will forget everything ' else in the world. Take my word for it. And now, look! The sun is coming up. Stephen may be here any ' minute this morning. Try to sleep a nitie so that when he sees you he will find the same rosy cheeks and bright eyes that I am sure he thinks of every day of hi3 life.' "She obeyed me, comforted a lit- 1 tie, and I went out to begin a new 1 day's dufies, more than a little dis- ( turbed in my mind, for if the girl was ' right and Stephen was the kind of man who was easily influenced, the ! new life in America might very well 1 have changed his ideas and feelings. 1 "I kept watch over the girl all the 1 morning, cheering her up with a word or two whenever a shadow appeared on her face, and it was a relief to me 1 when $ message came at last that a[( young man was inqu'.iing for my Eng? I lish charge. She trembled violently when I told her that Stephen had come and for a moment drew back an if fearful that all her sorry vislona had come true. Then she collected berself and went bravely with ma [Bto the room where a broad-shouli dered, well-knit young man stood back to us, talking rapidly to an inspector in careless American fashion. "Hearing our footsteps he turned I and looked at the girl beside me for a moment?so long that my heart began to sink?and then with a glad :ry held out his arms and kissed her before us all and murmured endearments over her in the rough Lanca-1 5hire dialest. No, America had not' changed Stephen. His sweetheart's 'ace was more to him than the fashion 3f her dress, her clinging arms more lhan American accents. "So, explanations being over, we had a little wedding here, and Ste- i phen and his pretty bride, blushing ind confident where she had been . :imid and fearful, waved us farewells ind left us for their own little home, none the less cosey and full of love * because American. Such a happy ending once in a while compensates is for all the sorrowful things."?* 1 Boston Post. NEW HUNTING GROUNDS? \ Did Mexico Offers a Tempting Field tol , American Sportsmen. *1 wish to bring to the attention of sportsmen a large, new and practically unvisited region where game in 1 ;reat variety is still as plentiful as in i :he old pioneer days," writes Dillon 1 Wallace, in Outing. "It is a region, i loo, as quickly and easily reached aa i :he overhunted districts of our own J Rocky Mountains or the Canadian 1 wilderness. In this country, as for- 1 merly in the West, there are no game i laws and no restrictions upon the ] :hase save aim and conscience. i "The region referred to is in old 1 Mexico.
