His faco wore an expression of great suavity and benevolence towards the world in general ; remarkable for much talent or mental quickness, but rather indicative of a nature at once bland and obtuse. He raised his hat and bowed as he recogsized Miss <p oe which courtesy was acknowledged by all three in the court minuet style. Miss Spyker, hew- ever, went straight to the point at once, b: saying: ‘‘ Very well; thank you, sir; and, Mr. Smith, cre yeu going by thie train?" “ Madam,”’ he replied, “I contemplate do- ing so. Can I—can I be so happy as to be of use to any of you ladies?’’ “O, Mr. Smith '’’ said little Miss Spyker, g@zining courege from her success, “ would you take one of the vacant seats here? We are s»—so—so very much’’—— “Frightened,” put in Mizs Caroline, emerg- ing from her fauteuil “Very much frightened, rndeed,"’ earnestly repeated Miss Clementi: *: With the greatest pleasure, ladies. You honor me tvo much. I may have the happi- ness to be of service to you, perhaps Allow ine, Miss Caroline,’ said Mr. Smith, calling to be- called “a lady’s man,”’ as ho e floor of the carriage Mi oline’s knitting, which, in th, extremity of her indecision, had faiien to the ground ; and stepping in, Le was motioned to the farthest compartment near my own window He was very polite and courteous; but, from the mo. ment of his getting into the carriage I ob- served a feeling creeping over the minds of the three maiden ladies, that their terrors had induced them to take a rather desperate and extreme etep. They spoke much in low tones together, and replied distantly, and with a sort of brid! up of the figure, when Mr Smith spoke—, sppearing to feel it due to the otbere en herself, to avoid as much as poosible giving any opening for speeches even of common ci- vility, and to treat the poor gentleman much after the fashion of # large houge dog, which it micht be dangerous to encourage in any playful gambols, lest it should be difficult in the end to keep him within bounds. Their chief anxiety now appeared to be to fill up the remaining seat in the middle of the carriage, 80 as to make it to a casual observer as it too was occupied. There seemed, indeed, eve! reason t» suppose the plan would succe: Several people had looked in, as if in search of a seat, and retired under the impression that the carriage was full. The engine was apparently getting under way, and the plat- rang shrieking through the station. and they eli suddenly collapsed inthe most direful state of fright. ‘*Good—ness me! how shocking !”’ poor Clomentina, whoso small experience of railways madc everything a source of constant terror and surpriso Miss Caroline sank back rostrated ; and litte Miss Spyker, with both ges to her ears, rocked herself uwo and fro ina state of suffering and dismay, talking joud and fast all the time. But at this juno- ture, every other we was lost in astonish- ment, when a porter looked in, hastily glanced round, detected the transparent ruse de guerre of the “ dummy” in the middie seat, and flung the door open, exclaiming: * Room bi —just in time—I’ll put your luggage in, sir—all right ’ And in there sprang a tall, Landsome, bewhiskered and moustached young Guardsman, apparefftly in the extremity of * saving the train,’ and ina great state of excitement, caused by the un- vertuinty of the last few moments.
