" You need not mind, child, I never was at all sensitive; awl, alas! now ray memory k not what it was." "That's it," said Edith eagerly; " only I dkl not like to say it. Here we are at a station." It was now ten o'clock ; Uncle George bought tke Times and IhtUy Xctcs, and they both began to read. About 12 o'clock tlie pangs of hunger began to assail Edith, and she exclaimed : " Uncle George, itk only 12 o'clock, and I must eat to live.11 nil must eat to live.1 " I have been existing merely for the i i 1 . ... . ...

The train (a very long one) was going round a sharp curve, thoy were in one of tlie last carriages, and, to her horror ami terror, she saw, about a hundred yards in front of the train, a whole herd of cows on and off tbe line two or three frantically galloping.
