She felt as if at any mo- ment this fat good-natured woman might say something that couldn’t ever be unsaid again—something dangerous, something that might hurt Jim. Everyone was begging Mrs. Rod- gers to go on, “Well, I don’t know as I ought. That's the worst of talking—you and then you can’t take it haven't got to Meade already!—and perhaps just as well, or I might have sald more than I ought.

It’s ‘& deal easier to get out back- wards when you come to my size.” The train jerked and clanked to a standstill, The shy young man opened the door. Mrs. Rodgers backed out, took her basket, and bade the carriage at large an affable farewell.

Mrs. Rodgers was already giving up her ticket. Caroline ran after her and caught her up just outside the station where Meade Hill runs steep- ly up between Hedges full of bram- ble and elder. Mrs. Rodgers stared at her in as- tonmunem. and Caroline realized t she had no idea what she was g to say. It must have come over her suddenly that she simply couldn’t let Mrs. Rodgers go, and’ now that.she. had caught her up she gald the first thing that came] into “Can I help you with your basket?”| Mrs, ‘Rodgers looked her up and down. . “What's & young lady like youj want to carry my basket for?” “km.going your way.” “And how do you know what way!

Caroline looked at her imploring: “I'm going your way,” Caroline said, “Well, since we're "ere, we'd best have it out.” Caroline spoke before all her cour- age left her. “Will you please tell me what Mrs. Henry said?” “And why?" “1 thought I'd like to know,” said Caroline rather faintly. “And why?” eaid Mrs. Rodgers in an even slower and more porten- tous manner, Caroline began to speak quickly. *“You were telling us as the train stopped, and T—1 wanted to know.
