Suit-cafe in one hand, umbrella in
the other, he sped along the corridor
to the elevator shaft, arriving^tn time
to catch a glimpse of the lighted roof
of the cage sliding into the depths
below.
“Downf*' he shouted; but the glim
mering cage disappeared, descending
until darkness enveloped it.
' Then the young man jammed his
hat on his head, seised the suit case and
umbrella, and galloped down the steps.
The spiral marble staircase echoed his
clattering flight; scrub-women heard him
coming and fled; he leh|»y] a pail of
water and a mopgfseveral old gentlemen
flattened themselves against the wall
to give hiiii room; and a blond young
person with pencils in her hair lisped
“Gee!” as he whizzed past and plunged
through the storm doors, which swung
back, closing behind him with a hollow
thwack.
Oiltsid* in the darkness, gray with
whirling snow-flakes, he saw the wot
lamps of cabs shining; and he darted
along the line of hansoms and eou|>es
in frantic search.for his own.
“Oh, there you are!” he panted,
flinging his suit-case up to a snow-
covered driver. “Do your best now;
we’re late!” And he leaped into the
dark coupe, slammed the door, and
sank back on the cushions, turning up
the collar of his heavy overcoat..*
There was~a young lady in the farther
corner of the cab, buried to her noserin
a fur «;ont. At intervals she shivered
and pressed a fluffy muff against 4 ’ her
face,- A glimmer from the sleet smeared
lamps fell across her knees.
Down-town flow the cab, swaying
around icy .corners, bumping over car-
tracks, lurching, . rattling, jouncing,
while ift silent .occupants, huddled in
separate corners, brooded moodily at
their respective windows.
Snow blotted the glass, melting and
running dowgi; and ov«*r the watery
panes yellow light from the shop win
dows played fantastically, distorting
vision.
Presently fhe young man pulled out
his watch, tumbled for a match-box,
struck a light,'ami groaned a* he read
the time.
At the sound of the match striking,
^the young lady turned her head.
THt.cn, as the bright flame illuminated
the young man’s face, she sat bold
upright, dropping the muff to her lap
with a cry of dismay-..
He locked up at her. The match
burned his fingers; he iffopped it and
hurriedly lighted another;, ami the
flickering radiance brightened upon thy
face of n girl w hom he |iad never la-fore

“Good Heavens!” he said. “Where’s

her voice. “You must sto>iit at <Thce!”

“Do you refuse to leave this cab?”

“Please don!t open that door!” h e
said. She tried to wrench^jt open;
th£ handle stuck—or perhaps the
strength had left her wrist. But it
was not courage that failed, for she
faced him, head held high, and—
She looked him straight in the eyes,
om^hand twisting at tfje knob.
“Don’t you suppose that this mistake
of mine is as humiliating ami unwel
come to mo.as it is to you?” he said.
“If .you stop this cab, it will ruin some
body’s life. Not; mine—if it were my
own life, 1 wouldn’t-hesitate.”.
Her hand, still clasping the silver
knob, suddenly fell limp.
“Y'ou say that-you are in a,hurry?”
she asked, with dry lips.
“A desperate hurry,” he replied,
“So am I,” she said bitterly; “and
thanks to your stupidity, I must make
the journey without niy brother!”
There was a silefice, then she turned
r . .
toward him again*.
“Where do you imagine this cab is
going?” .* ■
“It's going to Cortlandt Street —
.isn’t it?” Suddenly the recollection
came to him that it was her cab, and
that he hail only told the driver to.
drive fast. .
The color left his face as he pressed
on her; he was at her mercy. But there
was nothing viridictive in her. * ^
“1 also am going to Cortlandt Street;
you need not be alarmed,'” she said.
The color came back to his cheek*.
“I suppose,” he ventured, “that, you
iare tryiigx to catch the Kdcn Limited, as
I rftn.”'^ 1
“Yes,” she said coldly; “my brother
—"• An cxpA*s*ion of utter horror
came into her face. “What on'earth
shall 1 do?” slje cried, “my brother
lue- my ticket and my purse!”
A lunge and a bounce sent them into
momentary collision; a flare of light
from a ferry lantern flashed in their faces,
the cab stnp|>ed ami a porter jerked
open the door, crying:* J- •* *-
“I den Limited? ''You’d better hurry-
lad v They’re closin’ the gates, now.”
They .sprang out into the storm, she
refu-ing his guiding arm.
“What am I to dp?” she said, des
perately. “I must go <* that train,
and 1 haven’t-a penny.”
“-.It's all right; you’ll take my sister’s
ticket,’', he said, hurriedly paying the
cahlli:tu. v
e A porter seized.their two valises from
tlic I h»x and dashed towards the ferry- .
• hou-e; they followed to the turnstile,
where the tickets were clipped.
“Now, we’ve got to run!” jie said.
And off they sped,’ slipped through the
closing gates, and ran for the gang
plank, where their porter was making
frantic signs for them to hasten. It
wJbya close connection, but they made
it, to the unfeigned amusenjent of the
passengers on deck. •
“Su-ay!” drawled a ferry-hand, giving
• an extra twist to the wheel as the chains'"
came clanking in, “she puts the bunch
on the blink f’r a looker. Hey?”
‘ I’lenty,” said his comrade*, adding,
after a moment’s weary deliberation,
“She’s his tootsy-wootsy, sure. ! B. and
G.”
The t wo young people who had caught
tin- boat at the last second, stood to
gether. muffled, ttf the eyes, breathing
rapidly. She was casting tragic glan
ces astern, where, somewhere, behind
the smother of snow, New York city
lay, he, certain at last of his train,
stood beside her, attempting to colleVt
his thoughts and arrange them in some
sort of logTcal'sequence.
But the harder he thought, the mor$
illogical the entire episode appeared.^
How on earth hail he ever come to
enter a stranger’s cab and drive with
stranger half a mile before either
discovered the situation? And what
blind luck had sent the cab to the
destination he also was bound for—
and hot,a second to spare, either?
He looked at her furtively; she stood
J»y the rail, her fur coat white with
snow.
“The poor little thing!” he thought.
And he said; “You need not worry
about your section, you know. I have -
my sister’s ticket for you.”
' After a moment’s gloomy retrospec
tion, he added: “When your brother
arrives to -knock my head off, I’m
going to let him do it.”
She made no comment. *
