MeClure jj j The train stopped with a Jolt, and f the passengers thronged out, tilling tlio I " station with bustle and confusion. ' . Chattertou, who was on his way to j -Halifax, was looking Idly out of the smoker window, when suddenly there a passed across his range of vision a eer- c j tain well cut profile which ho knew \ 3 could belong to only one woman In the li _ world. Without an instant's hesitation lie picked up his hat and left the car, s clearing the steps Just as the train t t started heavily forward. t The small station was crowded with p people, and Cliatterton looked some t time for the lady of the profile before he espied her sitting quietly In one cor- I nor of the dingy waiting rooiq. I ' She had thrown open her coat and ' was loaning bark against the wall with (; closed eyes, evidently prepared to wait n - some limo. Ohatterton seated himself 1 in the opposite corner of the room and, r drawing out a paper, pretended to read the while lie watched lier furtively. f People passed and repassed between r i them. The noise and confusion ebbed n and flowed as train after train came In f and departed. 1 t Then all at onee a lull came. Silence ' reigned on the platform, tCnd Chatter- 11 ton suddenly realized that he and the 1 lady were alone in the waiting room, t lie rose and went out abruptly, and as 1 he passed through the door he stopped for a moment before a time tahle that 11 hung beside it, one name having c ( aught his eye. "Aylwin," he muttered. "Of course ' going home for the dear old people's anniversary dinner. How could I have * forgotten itV I don't believe she ever ? traveled alone before, and It's a whole 1 hour to wait In this hole. Don't I know ' the long.

' 8 lie passed out on to the deserted ' p platform and, lighting a cigar, smoked furiously while he paced up and down, 1 e revolving many things in his mind, I At last, throwing back his bead with a sudden resolution, he tossed aside his c cigar and re-entered the waiting room. As the door closed behind him the ) girl in the corner ope??ed her eyes, and J r a sudden wave of color touched her , cheeks. 11 cr cool, gray eyes regarded t his steadily for a moment, then she 1 r turned her face slowly from him. But J ; the man, lifting his hat, advanced 1 quickly. ' G "Margaret." he cried ? ? ho im. t fore her, "I want to talk to you." Iler ' balding Rrny eyes mot 1>Ih with no trace of embarrassment. "I know of nothing you can have to ! s say to inc. You wore very explicit. Nothing of importance was omitted, but if something else has occurred to you you have my lawyer's address and can communicate with him." r He made no answer for a moment, I then lie said abruptly: . "You are going home for the annlversary dinner tomorrow.

II You will have to tell her everythlug, I. and that will mean that all Joy will go not only out of the anniversary dinner, ^ but out of her life. You know bow sho I regards such things.

"Yes," she answered simply. The cars were crowded, but he found i sent, and, putting her in It with the >1(1 air of proprietorship that had alvays been so sweet to her, he seated limself beside her in silence. * The train rattled on, and ns they sat o near together, yet so very far apart, he thoughts of each turned to the last line they had traveled that road toretlier, on their iirst visit home after heir honeymoon. fl How happy they had beeu- then! low happy they might have been now f only that little rift within the lute?
