Her house ad joined the lovely old rambling stone homestead where Benjamin Parker, a widower, lived with his daughter Natalie and the faithful Amanda. When Mr. Parker passed away Natalie closed the house and went to teach kindergarten in Boston. Amanda went with her. The train dashed along through a whirling snowstorm. Deep in Die tender mood of remjgiscent reverie, Natalie fell asleep. "Hillsboro!—Hillsboro!" She awakened with a bound. Clutching her grip, a box of barley candy, and almost dragging the cumbersome and unwieldy pack, Natalie, still half asleep, stepped dut at the very end of a long frosty platform. A tall young man in a big fur coat was waving good-by to some one on the train as it pulled out. In his excitement he took a long, free stride backwards on the platform and crashed into Natalie.
