Las! chance to get your reading matter! No books sold on train after it starts!" The newsboy bawled this in Amy Cur tltf ear, and she lost all the young man Bald except the words "can't climb those beastly steps." Not that she cared. She was quite able to climb the little ladder to the upper berth. Her lip curled scornfully. "Oh, it doesn't matter in the least, j'ou know. It was the conductor's Idea, I assure you. Only In the south, where I come from, men, as a rule, are more obliging." She picked up her novel and pro ceeaea to iguore Jicwean s presence. He looked at tier blankly, then flung himself down the sleeper to the smoking compartment. "Well, I do think she's a bit harsh!" lie pulled out a paper and tried to forget the scorn !n the eyes but recently lifted to meet his. In the meantime the girl In section 1 stared wrntbfully at the letters in her book, which fairly danced before bor eyes. "A nice beginning for niv trip! I never wanted to go to Colorado Springs anyhow. I had much better remained at Bar Harbor than to let the Carters inveigle me into coming west." With this final reflection she commenced to read in earnest, but somehow her mind went back to the very disagreeable young man who had disregarded the sleeping car conductor's request that he yield the lower berth to the young woman, whose i'ullinau ticket had been duplicated by a careless employee in an uptown olllcc. She could not forget the real regret in his eyes nor the nervous, embarrassed way In which lie had smoothed his hair while he was offering his halting ex |/lcl uauuu. out? UUIUU IIUL 1VLUUCUI this, however, with the fact that ho had declined to climb the little steps In her 6tead. It was most annoying she argued, that she could not forgot a certain fascination which his long, tinn hand had held for her and the hair In had smoothed. She could imagine that he had spent honrs trying to brush out a certain tendency to crisp curls. She was very glad there was something that coulil defeat lilm, If it was nothing more thai curls, and after deciding thus she \va> more content. She did not see him again until she entered the diner at dusk. The only place left for her was a single seat at a table meant for four. The three pas ftengers already seated were men. talk ing business in rather loud tones. Amy hesitated. A ligure at the table ?>pj*? site vosc suddenly. The vor.v disagree able^roung man who had sentenced her to the upper berth was standing beside her. "Take my place." be said eagerly, "and I will go over there with the men." lie bad been occupying a scat at one of the small tables, and a gray haired woman was sitting opposite him. Amy saw all this at a glance, and with a surprised uplifting of her eyebrows und a mechanical "Thank you!" flPPnntft/1 f hn en-it T1w> vrAiim* muti h.>.) not yet been served, aiul she realized that tbc change had not embarrassed him in the least. "Quite willing to do things that (lo uot incommode him." she thought scornfully. The young man did not presume upon the reception of this courtesy. Directly after dinner he once more retired to the smoking compartment, and Amy early ordered the porter to make up her berth. Once tucked snugly away, she forgot her grievance. The steady clunkcluuk of the wheels was a singular lullaby to which she soon yielded. It seemed as if she had not beeu asleep more than three minuted when she awoke to the most horrible noises that she had ever heard. What had happened? Had the train run into a circus or a juugle of wild beasts? No, the tralu was still moving. Its unremitting clunk-clunk could be heard fit intervals hetweeu the awful sounds which now assailed her cars. If it was not wild beasts, then maybe some one around her was dying. This pretty, carefully reared, ever protected southern girl had never soon any one die. and in her ignorance of this and various oilier matters she was working herself up into n lino frenzy. A particularly deep and agonized roar was followed by a sound that was u cross between a penny whistle and n Bob. She could stand the suspense no longer. She pushed the tiny button and, carefully arranging the curtains, stuck ?nt her head to meet the look of in qulry In the porter's black face. T.'p And down the car fche Rave a hasty glance. Apparently no one else realized tha tragedy that was going on so close at band, for no other curtains wero swaying, no other beads were thrust , out. "Sumfln' you want, miss?""Why?why, don't you hear that dreadful noise?" she said, "I think some one In the berth neit to me Is dying." In the dim light she could see the darky's teeth gleam Ivory white In a grin that reached from ear to ear. >' "It's Jnst the gentleman in the lowtti or berth, miss, snoring. I will wake ^ him up. Soon as he r</Ua over be'll ) top" , ? r. if J Amy jerked fn her blad as if the porter'tod struck^ier. Mas couij feel h+m switch aside the curtains below her. Two masculine voices were wafted toward her. then the sound of a deep grunt that was decidedly masculine-and .silence. Up in her eyrie Amy lay. still hushing hotly with mortification. Site knew that porter would tell everybody on the train next looming. She wished she could change ears. Then suddenly from the berth below the hated sound rose again. Evidently there was no respite from this infliction, and. oddly enough, she felt herself pitying the man who was responsible for it. it was really a disease, site decided, and he was so young loo! The next morning she met him face to face in the dining ear. I lor checks were flooded with crimson. She knew by the quizzical light in his eyes Hint he had heard of her mistake, and undoubtedly every one 011 the car knew it by this time and would consider it a fine joke. She ate her breakfast in a resentful humor. She felt reckless and miserable, and It may have been this mood which caused her to sway uncertainly as she crossed from the diner back to the sleeper. She reached out a bund to steady herself against the side of the vestibule. Suddenly it seemed to her as if a sharp, red hot iron had been thrust, into her finger tip and run lip to h t ;shoulder. She tried to draw away I her hand as a child does from a hot stove, but something held it tight, and then she awoke to the truth. The train had been swinging around a cmt e, and the iron plaits, or folds, of the vestibule. left uncovered by a careless employee, bad opened just far enough to admit her finger and then had closed j upon it again. She was held as in a i vise, and her calls for assistance could not be heard above the roar of the train. And so it happened that the "hateful young man" came upon her, white lipped and fainting. When tliey had pried the hand loose be carried her unconscious figure into llic vacant drowing room. The conductor came hurry in? up. greatly perturbed over the uceideut, which meant a damage suit for the company. Tie turned to the i porter. i. "Hustle through the train ami find out whether there is a physician on - hoard." The young uuiu spoke sharply. "1 . am a physician. Porter, bring nie that long, narrow black bag from my i' berth/' And so it happened when Amy woke up it was to iind the hatefiH young man deftly bandaging her injured hand. The drawing room was placed at her disposal by the anxions-couduct; or, and the entire train force was on , its knees beforo her. The uncovered vestibule meant that some employee's [ head would fall into the basket, i Toward noon, in spite of the terrific ? pain in her crushed finger, Amy commenced to l'eol drowsy, thanks to the mild narcotic which Dr. McKean had administered, lie plumped up the pil; lows for her, and she murmured drowsily, "I didn't sleep very well last night." McKean bit his Up. "1 was afraid you wouldn't. That was the worst part of my having to put Mr. Carter in the berth with you. but 1 couldn't . gel bin) another lower in the car, and he stubbornly refused to buy up a , drawing room." Amy felt suddenly wide awaVe. "Mr. Carter, whv didn't vmi"? "Lord. uo. You didn't think I was raisins: the roof of 1113* berth, did you? Mr. Carter has been at a sanitarium Just east of Ilnrrisbuvg. He is a patient of my father's, and his people asked ine to pick hlui up ami bring him on to Colorado Springs, where I am visiting for a week or so. That's what I was trying to tell you last nlglit." A sudden light dawned on Aiu3\ "Oh, it's all the fault of that newsboy 1 I am going to the Carters myself. They'ro giving a house party." "Yes. I know," said McKcan. "I saw your name on your luggage. But now you're golug to sleep, and If you don't mind I shall sit hero beside you and see you are not rocked off when we make a fast run." Amy dropped back weakly among the pillows. "No, I don't mind. I will be only too glad to have?you?stay." Suddenly she raised her heavy eyelids. "But promise me you will never tell-what?1 said to the porter last night." Dr. McKean's eyes twinkled. "I promise on my honor." A Qneation of Science. ' I I'Atn/ttnluii* w1?nn 1 troa o utiulnrtf nt Wyoming seminary," said n clergyman, "a farmer caiue to Kingston to visit his nephew, whom lie was educating. "The farmer had no urban polish. Ills tea when it was brought was very | hot, and lie poured It In his saucer, to ids nephew's great mortification. "Finally, unable to restrain himself, the nephew was so rude as to say; " 'Uncle, why do you pour your tea in the saucer?' "The old farmer looked up In surprise. Then ho said in a loud, hearty voice: " 'To cool it, to be sure. The more ' air surface you give it The quicker it i cools. These hero modern seminaries don't teach much science, do they?'"
