Ian for new excursions, and after ber York friend* arrived, in July, she led then* off aotnewbeie, on tbe train every few days. 80 she saw Mr. Ingleside often, and their acquaintance slowly but aurely progressed. She eauie at last to greet him with a smile aad a good morning, and though he often just punched ber ticket and passed on without speaking, still Rosamond could generally contrive some excellent reason to detain him for a few words. Sometimes see wanted to inquire the time of tbe trains ou a con necting railway sometimes sbe asked bim to get excursion tickets for her party to Home point on tbe line sometimes ber carelessness helped her, and book, or umbrella, or lunch basket was left on tbe train, and Mr. Icgleeiee must look it up. Sbe liked bim ali the better because be never presumed upon tbe opportunities sbe gave him, nor lingered alter tbe neoessary words were spoken and yet sbe often wished that be would some further advances, that her vanity might be gratified, even while she relentlessly snubbed him. "He knows his place, and keeps it," she thought. ''It isn't his business to be making himself agreeable to tbe ladies on tbe tra.n and yet I wish he wouldn't dash off so, the minute he gets through." The roar and motion of a railway tra.n do not give favorable opportunity for the interchange of casual remarks graceful little nothings become ridiculous when shouted in a high key, and then repeated because not heard at first. So poor Rosamond bad much to contend with but she found, by standing in the door at tbe end of tbe train for tbe bretse, wben heated by walking, tbat sbe bad a much better opportunity to talk with tbe conductor, as 'belin gered there to record tbe fares. So sho sometimes ventured on a general remark, to which be responded promptly and pleasantly, going just about as far as sne did, bpt making no farther advances. One comfort she had sbe was tbe only one of the party of whom he ever took tbe least notice. Folly loves company, as well as misery, and Rosa mond was pleased and amused to see how tbe otner girls were attracted by ber handsome friend, and how they were actually piqued tbat tbey could draw from him only tbe few words their questions required. Even fastidious Amy James must compare her watch with Mr. Iagleside's, to see if it kept its New York time, or ask for a drink of water. Tbey called him "Rosamond's conductor," and Ai James vowed "tbat fellow would stop his tra*n anywhere if he saw Miss Rosamond's bat." Ail this was delightful to her yet she sometimes longed lor a little variety, anl ieit an irresistible impulse to say or do something startling- One week there were races at New field that attracted a good deal of attention, and extra trains were run, and a few days after tbey were over Rosamond and ber Mends were going to Bethel 011 the train: As they stood in the space about the door of the car, Mr. Ingleside among them, she asked, "What do you write in tbat book?" "1 write the names of all the passengers," he said, lookinginto her eyes. "Dear me," she laughed, "what an interesting list you must bave "Yes, it is, very," be answered, step-

on the platform. It seemed to mond tbat ttie train always stopped at tbe station when sbe was having a good time. "What is the charm of that conductor's manner?" said Amy James, meditatively, as they walked away from the station. "I've been trying* to deteet It." "It's just because he's tall, and good lookin', and sot broad shoulders," said Al, scornfully. Al was a small man. "No," continued Amy, not deigning to notice tbe interruption, "there's somotlng in his tnauuer it's respect without civility, ana deference without

She was restless and dissatisfied, but she was excited, and with her anything was better than monotony. She watched Mr. Ingleside like a hawk, and studied his every loo£ and tone, thinking 00% day that be carefully improved every legitimate opportunity

few words with her, and was only deciding he was utterly indifferent to her. September came, and Mrs. James went back to the city, taking Rosamond with ber lor a visit. Rosamond was glad of the change of scene and diversion for her mind. It was a real relief to her to be occupied for a week with new and exciting amosemeats. But she did not forget tbe conductor, and when the day of herretfcrn came lier thoughts turned to him with resistless force, and she laid her plans for a fresh attack. "Mr. Ingleelde baa never seen me «ritb my war paint and feathers* on," she thonght. "I always wear some plain old thing to travel in, and tie myself up in a veil, or else he has seen me in tbat

coming suit she had, and dressed with unusual care. Mrs. James came in while she was thus employed. "Fin so sorry to have you go.'* she said "and I can't be reconciled that yon won't come and spend the winter with me. I had set my heart on it and Mr. Herbert James being with ns will bring us a great deal of tbat literary and improving society you like so much, and I can't aee why you shouldn't come. It's all nonsense to stay at home aad teach those boys. Why can't they be sent to school "No, Margaret, we can't afford it and I ought to stay. You can't feel as badly as 1 do. I am tempted almost beyond my strength, I want so to come." She turned away to bide her tears. "Rosamond," exclaimed Mrs. James, suddenly, "you are not going to wear tbat lovely ault to travel in!" "Yee," replied Roeemond, carelessly.

"Oh, well, that makes a difference." said Mrs. James, relaxing her hold #n the trunk straps. "I didn't know ydu had an esoorft*' She' b*ard the baby crv, an£ Hew tp tbe rescue.

Rosamond nodded slgotfioantly at tbe door tbat closed behiud her, "What would yon say, MM. James, It you knew all thia fuw was for an obscure conductor on tbe Towasset railway, aud that I care more (or one stalle from him than for ten years of Tom Jennings' de votioo? I don't care! If be hsan't got better manners than Tom Jennings, or any of your New York snobs that ever honored me with tyo «t^wand«Jrawl and a sneerMthe country, thetf rdon kno.va geutleman when I see bim." She turned to the mirror. "Dress does make such a difference," she said, no ting how pretty she looked, and, better yet, bow stylish,

Rosamond spent tbe day in a fever of impatienoe. The ride from New York, Tom Jennings' languid devotion in tbe Intervals be could spare from tbesmok log oar, the hours in Newfield, the dip nor at tbe Grays', were all over at lagt and she felt calm and happy when she was seated in Mr. Ingleside's waiting train. She had what she thought was a good exouse to ask for a conversation with bim, but she did not mean to be in any hurry so sbe waited until tbey were half way to Warebam, and thin she leaned forward to arrest his atten tiou, as fce was passing through the car. *Jr. Ingleside," she said, "by aud by when you have an interval o(sleisure" would like a few momenta' talk wit you.*'

I will be back in a moment," he said bowing, and she presently saw bim com ing toward her. She noted bis rapid, hesitating glance at the seat beside hqri add gathered, up her drees to ihdldate he should take it. She leaned towards him confidentially. "There is one thing I think I ought to speak to you about* Mr. Ingleeide, but I do not want to make any trouble for you with your subordinates, and if you do not think it best to notice It you will let it pass, of course but I will at least mention it. My sister and I went to Warebam station last week Tuesday, to take your train. Papa was with us, and signsled as usual. I saw the engineer looking at us, as he approached. Just as tbe locomotive came abreast of the station, papa laid down the flag to help us on board, but the train ran by without stopping. Ic seemed to me a rather serious matter for an engineer to disregard a signal, and I'thought that perhaps you would like to know about t." "I was very much mortified by that occurrence," he said, "and I owe you an apology. I was not looking out, for if I had seen you I should have stopped. Your father notified the superintendent, and the matter has been investigated, and tbe engineer discharged. I did not have my regular engineer on, that day. He was off duty for a day or two. You did right to speak to toe of it, and I am much obliged to you, thought you had been anticipated." "You haven't your regular engine on to-day, have you?" she asked.

No the Towasset has gone to the shop for repairs." "I noticed the difference in the whistle," said Rosamond. "The Towasset has a high, shrill whistle I always know it, and when we are going to the station, and hear a freight train com ing, it does not scare me as it does the rest, for I always know that it isn't our train."

Yes, the whistle is quite different from all the rest," he said, looking pleased.

Have you been on the rail way ever since it was opened?" she went on. Yes," he answered. "I took this train tbe first day it ran over the roa 1."

Then they went on to talk of the rail way, tbe scenery, and tbe towns along the road, and various other things, till the train reached the next station, and he rose and left. "Wbat a real nice talk," she mnsed "and he really enjoyed it too. He is quite ready to improve his oppportunities."

Sbe had short time for her happy thoughts before she saw him coming, and ho sat down beside her again. "I should think you would enjoy going to New York sometimes," he began.

Ob, ves,". sbe replied, "I came from there this morning." "That's the place to live," he said, emphatically. "Do you think so?" said she. "I would not want to live there."

Why! why not?" he asked, in surprise. "Oh, I enjoy visiting there ever so ranch," she replied, "but I wouldn't want to make it my home for Hie. 1 have a sister who lives there, and she has lost all Ler individual tastes and opinions. I should just wear what 'they' wore, and think what 'they' thought, aud do what

4tbey'

did. Tbe

current of life there is too strong for me: I wouldn't want to drift with it, and yet I never could help myself."

He looked amused. "I like theatres," he said. "I enjoy going to the theatre so much." "I never go," she said, smiUug.' "Ah, how amazed you look! I like to tell people tbat, especially New York people, and see them stare." "Why, do you think it wrong?" he Bskdii "No, I don't know as I da I'll tell you what makes more difference with mo than anything else I have many friends in New York—good people, nr better than I am—and they urgfc me to go to tbe theatre, to see really fine plays: and they take high moral ground, ana talk altiont Shakespeare and the enno# bling influence of the drama, and tell about tbe inspirations tbey get at the opera, and all tbat. But I notice that when tbey once set to going they forget all about the high moral part, and go to all aorta of plays indiscriminately, even to tbofte tbey acknowledge are bad, josl to aee what they are, you know, or tys* oauee the aceoery la se magnifioent, or something like that."

Just as soon go to tf variety shew as snything," be interrupted. "Yes and so I think if I onee began I should probably end as they do, for 1 am no better than they so 1 keep out of it."

They talked a little more abont tbe theatre, and then tbe conversation turned to other things. Rosamond guessed sbe would make herself most agreeable by leading him to talk abont himself, she made bim tell her bow to run a train, and explain, the air brake and the Miller platform, and a good deal about a conductor's life. He told her be had been in tbe business since be was seventeen years old she longed to ask him if Me began on the road bjr selling prise candy, bnt she did not quite dare.

In all ber acquaintance with Mr. In* gleslde, she bad never forgotten their first interview, when she had incurred! his displeasure, and had always liked him better because sbe was a little afraid of him. He kept his place at ber side, only leaving ber for a few moments after the train had stopped at each station.

When tbey were but a few miles from Warebam, the engine suddenly whls-

tied down brakes, aud tbe train stopped with a rode shock. Mr. InglettiMfpran^ to bis feet and hurried forward, end al tbe men on the train got out to see what was the matter woine of them soon turned to report that a large fpck fallen on tbe track ahead. It#as after dark, hut Ros«mond put ter out at, the window, audooul locomotive of the train and th men before It. She oould di Mr. Ingleside's powerful figure above tbe reat, and admired hii and energy .as he laid hold of An hour passed by before bet rain at last started, tnd in a few uaomeuts Mr. Iogleside entored, and hurried to Rosa mond. "Miss Ware," he said, "will thisdeteution give you any trouble about get ting home?" "Ob, I never thought!" cried she. "I was going up in the stage, and I shall aurely miss it but then," she added, "I can easily walk up, so it is no great mat ter," "You ought not to walk up alone," he said, "audTf you will allow me, I will put my train iu the oare of tbe baggage master, and go up with yon. I can get back in time to go over |p Tqwasset to night on tbe late train."' "Ob, nQ. Mr. Ingleside!1* jMcielqoftcj Rosamond. "I couldn't think ef givlri|i you so much trouble,", "Very well suit yourself," said he, ooldly "botyou ought never to $b£8 you propose and he turned and left ber. "Oh, dear," thought she, "now I've offended him he thinks I don't went to accept his escort. I never thoug thing, and I am horribly afraid to go up alone."

She got off the train at Warebam in great distress, and was just ready to cry, when, hearing a step behind her, she turned and saw Mr. Ingleside. He raised his lantern and it shone full in her face. "I am sorry to intrude upon you," said he, stiffly, "but your father would never forgive me, If any harm came to you for letting you go up alone. There were four rough looking fellows got off the train here this morning, and they may

be still lurking about. "Oh, Mr. Ingleside," said she, earnest laying her hand upon his arm, "ineed you mistake me. I am borribly afraid to go up alone, and I shall be gratefnl and glad beyond measure for your protection and escort but I hesitated to give you so much trouble, and spoke hastily, without reflection."

&

It is no trouble,? said he, his face bright with pleasure. "I will put your trunk in the station before we go."

Rosamond tucked up her dress for walking, while he Jjut the trunk and traveling bag. Sbe noted his slight hesitation, and took his arm as a matter of course, and they started off.

Ah, what a walk tbat was! The night was mild and clear, the road lay through tbe woods, and tbe full September moon shone softly through the branches. Tbe ground was hard and smooth from a recent shower. Mr. Ingleside proved a rapid and vigorous walker, like herself, and kept her step perfectly, ind sbe enjoyed the exercise as a town-bred girl enjoys a dance. Tbey laughed and talked gayly, though in all their conversation they never alluded to their previous acquaintance, but talked as two congenial strangers might who were just introduced to one another Rosamond was entirely happy, and wished the walk might last forever, till the lights of the village began to twinkle before them, when sbe felt a sudden embarrass ment. Wbat should she do with her conductor when she reached home? sbe was afraid he would go in if sbe asked him. He stopped as they drew near the first house. "Do you live right here in the village street?" Jhe asked. "Yes," said she, "only a few houses beyond."

Then I will leave you, for I have but just time to get back to tbe train." Oh, Mr. Ingleside," she began, "I can never thank you enough for your kindness."

Don't try, then," he said. "It has given me nothing but pleasure, and has been tbe nicest walk I ever took iq my life, to say nothing of the satisfaction of being of service to you. od night."

She gave him her band tie held it an instant in a warm, tight clasp, and turned away. Rosamond walked slowly on, her heart beating fast witb sudden terror. Did she love this man, whose mere presence gave her such perfect happiness? She turned aside the thought as troublesome. "I'll enjoy my happiness," she thought, "and be gmd to get it, without picking it to pieces to see where it comes from."

It lasted ber a long time. She did not even caro to see him again. The memory of tbat evening was enough, as sbe recalled its every incident. But when, a few weeks later, she received a letter from a friend in Bethel Plain, asking her to join positively tbe last party to the Tower, to enjoy the autumn foil age, she rejoiced in the opportunity it gave her, and wrote her friend sbe would come down ou tbe train and meet them, if they would send her home at night.

Sbe started off in fine spirits one glorious October morning. Sbe knew how it would be now. There would be no more reserveor distance between tbem, but Mr. Ingleside would come and sic beside ber, and sbe would bave some more pleasant talk. Sbe did not see him when the train stopped, but took ber seat and waited witb calm assurance. At last tbe door opened, and be caude in, with a beautiful obild upon his arni. He did not notice Rosamond, for his attention was absorbed with the little creature, who clung close to his neck. He passed by, but returned in a moment alone, said good morning pleasantly, took Rosamond's ticket, ana went forward in tbe baggage car. Two men sat just behind ber, and she listened eagerly 10 the following conversation: "Is that Ingleside's young one?"

Yes that's his wotnan back there.

They're movin' to-day. )Id' swttv Is heard him tellin' inthe img^ gage car he's gcin' to Californy goin' to start to-morrow. This is his last run on tbe train." "What's the matter? Had a row?" "No he says he likes bis place firstrate, and iikee the folks along the road: but he come here from Californy, and sbe belongs there, and all her folks are there, ana sbe wants to go back so he just bsd a first-rate offer out there and concluded to go." "That's too bad. Ingleside's a clever fellow*'* "Yes mighty tsktn' way with the women folks. My gals think everything of him."

Ain't

"Yes. Ti

Roeamond's first Impulse was to look into her own mind, and see what was ing on but there wasn't mueb to aee. er next desire was to look at Mrs. Ingleside, and sbe hastily arose and went back through tbe car. She identified ber by the child. But Mrs. Ingleside looked at her curiously, so Rosamond oould not stare as Hardas she wanted to. She saw a slight, frail little womsn, in a long, gray traveling cloak, with a gray hat and feather. Her faoe was so oonoealed by a tbiok j^ray veil that liosa-

now stopped at Bethel Plata, and Rosamond aligned, beginning to be oon•clous of mental jpaln. Sbe felt it all the afternoon, thougo sbe resolutely forgot it iu tbe gayety of the picnic, and talked in her jollleat mood She came home late, and went at once to ber room and faoed ber trouble. ''I suppose this isn't heartache," said she, grimly, "lor my 'heart has nothing to do with it but I must say tbat im-agination-ache isn't a pleasant sensation. Ob, the long, dreary winter! bow shall I ever get through it, if 4 may not think of him, or look forward to seeing bis pleasant face again Sbe felt a wild, unreasonable rage, like a passionate child whose toy# are rudely snatebed away, "Ob, ray mother, my own precious mother! Life wouldn't have been so bard for me if you had only lived!"

She burst into a passion of tears for tbe mother who bad died when sbe was six years old. She thought of her lonely and isolated lot of the dear sister of ber love, wbo died a few years before of every sad and unhappy circumstance she could remembej, end worked hersolf up into a delicious melancholy, sobbing and crying with all the luxury of uncontrolled grief. She threw herself upon the bed, and wept a long time, and at last awoke at an indefinite time in the night, stiff and cold and ashamed, and hastily undressing, crept into bed

The next morning, after breakfast, *her father called ber aside:

,rResamond,"

he said, "your mother

and I bave been talking over your sister's Invitation to you for this winter. Your mother was much gratified, aud so was I, at yeur cheerful readiness to stay at home and teach tbe boys. But we know you must want to go, and as I bad an unexpected return from a poor investment, your mother has been corresponding with a friend in Andover, who offers to take the .boys so advantageously tbat we have decided to send tbem to the academy there, and set vou free. So]pack up your clothes, and be off," he concluded, smiling, and rising to go. "Oh, father," began Rosamond, "I don't want to leave you." "No, dear, I know," said be, "that will be hard all round. But you want to go, on the whole, and we want to bare you," and he kissed ber and went out.

Rosamond stood still a few moments, a great wave of foeling sweeping over ber, at the bright prospect so suddenly opened. Long weeks of happiness, excitement, congenial friends, society, in telleotual delight, ease, luxury, and pleasure, a new bright life worth tbe living—these were realities where were ber unreal fancies Tbe boose was too small for her, and she ran out into the afrd, where a cold, fresh breeze was lowing, and skipped about like a ba child in the bright October sunshine. She felt like one awakened from a rest less dream, and glad te be in the actual world again, or as if she had been walking in a thick, unwholesome mist, which was suddenly dispelled by a clear, fresh wind, and she saw realities onee more. "Good-by, old Ingleside!" she cried aloud. "I knew I never really cared about you. Good-by, dreams and fancies welcome, happy life. Ob, alter ego, I'll take you to New York with me, 11 mind every word you say, and won't we have a good time!" "Rosamond," called her step-mother from the window, "your breakfast dishes are standing." And she scampered into the house.

Rosamond's winter in New York brought her all the bappiness she ex pected, and sbe returned the next summer to Wareham, a light-hearted and happy woman. But, somehow, she never goes on tbat train now, when she can possibly avoid it: she hates with a cordial enmity the new conductor, a burly man with brusque, official manners and away in an inner recess of ber ocket-book there is still a little yellow 'owasset railway check, with three boles punched in it, and bearing this inscrip tion:— "If you wish to stop over at any waystation, please notify and receive a speoial check from G. W. Ingleside, conductor."
