"Undeniably a gentleman, said Anc, with decision. "Ha baa I food toiler, a"1' hi boota ure anexceptlonai." Tbefirla aettled down for the journey, fxtnu-ting from among the urroandli v impediiienul the usual lii-rary solaces in the Wy of newspaper and virtdly . i book. ! irst, however, they talked over in loss toaea the visit on whJeh ihcj ware going in Yorkshire.
Th-ir hojtfhs was a Inend and couUmponrf, who hau1 lateTy married the quirl of" SfanTedetie. The girls ware full of gjudtaonanUauianiaeaud pleasant tntiei potion regarding the visit to their friend in her now place und positioa. It was tome time oefore the How of conversation ceaaed, and they took a their book. Angela was soon enraged in following the unwholesome career of u nsodera heroine through all Ita riaky Intrlcaciaa. Mollklfad chanced ,n a volume ot shoi i stories, plainly innired by the triumphs of Bbesioch Hohne. They ware full of ghastly adventures with criminal ami lunatics; the situations, though infinite in ariety. were ail tin tiling ami bloodeurdling. MollicV youthfut imagination took lire; one M.jry. an i.d'.eniure with a lunatic in a railway en mayc. OS

It was only in hooks, however, thai awful, ereetpf Bdeentnrea happened to travelers. Bhe had never know n a real pemoa who waj nnluoky enough to meet ei mtnal or innatk in train. An the i. - -tiring thoughl enteret her mind, bi r eyes wandered to the far end of the carriage, They oneapecledly met hose of the jnan in the corner seat; the shock wa .sharp and violent. He nan aitling up, the Times folded on his kin-en, allowing his whole face to be teen. Buch faeel lust like so many of those described in the stories kiollie
hud been reading. The coincidence waa fxtraordinary and startling. The girl's onagination rushed off on a series of viki llihts, and she drew tptitUly back, wering behind her book. She had Bevor seen stranger lOOkihg man; i ollowbeeked, gaunt, grim, but,abova Mil. with the mtMit jwH-nliar eye. MarLng and prominent, she had sollttlej - peelad such a development in tl.e harui-leaa-looklng man behind the Times thai the shack and eurprise were rary great, Rbe retained, however, sen -control nough not to appeal to Angela on the impulse of the moment. Mollie waa
ttaed to having fears rtoicmea. w therefori floxidwl to wait before giving any alarm, for it was (M.-csil.le thai tier exerted imagination was ranntBf sway with hey.
After I few minutes bh ventured 10 peep cautiously from behind her hook, The man hud' turned away, and stl looking out of the window, the gaunt face only showing in profile. Itollie breathed more freely, relieved from the at are of those terrildet-ye; she. made a fpiiek. elose stinl of the stranger. A the scrutiny progressetl, however, iinOther change came ovi r her faee t he ' mp.sure ahe lutd regained began to diminish rapidly. Her eyes noted the man's bhra bead, then went from it to UM rnek above, to the se.it oppoaite, t" the floor. No trace of hat or hat box, of bag, rngM or luggage of any kind could she discover. Her In art stood still. Who but an escaped lunatic or criminal would be traveling hatle.s and
w ithout baggage? To gneeuy ideas, vague Itefore. now took terrible and definite shape. She bent qu.okly across and leOchei the unconeions Angela, whom the doubtful heroine's adventures still held wholly absorlted. "Take cere," Mollie whispered. "Don't start and look around. I want to tell you eomething." " iooll faeious! What has hnppened f Are you Ul?" Angitn, so suddenly arowed from her rending, found it hard not to. exclaim alOftd at her sister's words and he sieht of her na.' face.
"No, BO, I am all right. Only it's
