Loizeaux (Copyright, 1912, by Assoclated Literary Press.) The girl seemed splendidly oblivi- ous to her fellow travelers all day. She had boarded the train at Denver with very little but super-elegant baggage, and alone. She had been excited at first, but as the hours passed her gaze became Qquieter. more thoughtful. She leaned her cloud of gold-brown hair back against { the seat and idly watched the porter| ..~ light up as the dusk fell upon them. Down the aisle a few seats an facing her sat a youth with his hat tipped back on his head. He was playing cards with a Kansas farmer. a traveling man from Chicago, and ian old German woman. A little old lady, perfect in feature and every de- tail of dress, still beautiful, was amusedly watching them all. The vouth caught the traveling man's glance as for the thousandth time rested on the girl. “Easy to look at. isn't she?" quoth the youth. *“But she wouldn't stand for any freshness—f{rom you, say!" he observed. The man laughed with uneasy im- pudence. “If Kansas and 1 lick you and the lady in this round, I'll show veu! TI'll go over and make good with that girl—my trick!” And then the little old lady slowly rose and | made her way to the girl, whose eyes were feverishly bright. She smiled. as anything allve to fineness must smile, when the old lady took the seat beside her—not like a protector, but as one seeking company. “You are alone, my dear?” “Quite—quite alone!" Then they talked, impersonally, but with friendliness, as strange wom- en of the same world approach each other, the older woman wistful at the freshness of youth, the girl wishing for the tranquility of age. The land- scape was quite dark when she spoke again. “l was—going to California” said. And then, brusquely, “Did you ever do anything you were—sorry for? Did you ever make a declsion because —you were blind with ignorance, and | be sorry and -scared after you had time to think?" She hurled the questions at the old lady, who ac cepted them calmly. She had watched for this chance, feeling something wWas wrong. “Yes, my dear child. stranger, so 1 don't mind telling you. Once, because 1 felt uneasy, I got oft at a station after 1 had been started by my father to a girls' school. 1 reached my father just In time to save him from sulclde from melan- choly over my mother's death, and thinking my education was taking me also from him. [ never left him again—not even when I married.” “Forgive me--but did you marry the right man?" The little old lady lnughed inside, and turned the worn wedding ring on her finger. She had known the troubled look was because of a man! It nearly always 1s! She reached for the girl’'s hand, which tightened about hers, and | continued: “I went up the altar steps twice - once to realize at the last moment that 1t was to meet the wrong man. It was the terrible moment of my life, but I held on to my courage |1 whigpered to him that I could not go with him. and then I mercifully fainted. A year after, I married the right man.

The girl grew very pale. “But if you had promised rour father—when he was dyving ! marry somebody, and you ltked him, anqd respected him!

The old lady was slient. “What would you do?" inei<tc! the young volce. ‘Can't you k¢ me? 1 wish there would be a wreck’ “That is very foolish. Ii¢: quiet and tell me about it.

It will come | out right for everybody." But sudden- Iy the old lady's face seemed to have aged. “Helen—will you kiss me?" The girl did so. Afterwards she remembered that she had not told her name. And in her berth she wondered dreamily whether Rex Wharton would forgive her. Then she forgot all about him and fell into dreams of Sherman King At the dirty, prosaic station at Salt Lake, in the brightness of the May morning, a quick, strange scene oc- curred. The old lady and Helen Trav- ers had just entered, when the girl #ave a cry. A tall, blond young fel low, very pale, snatched her to him and kissed her without a word. While the older womun was looking her as- | tonishment, another man, also young but graver, with a dark, fine face, stopped short at the door and watched the group. His features were a larger model of the fine old lady's face, the chin more square, the forchead high- er. He came over and took her hand “Rex!"” she breathed. “Oh, Rex, my poor boy! It couldn’t be helped she isn't to blame!” For still, though standing apart from him, Helen saw only Sherman King, and he her, and he stood talking to her in a low, enger | tone Rex Wharton almost crushed his mother's hand In his. “Mother! | thought T would meet you here, send vou on—home, and then go to Den- ver for—her.

But | can't—I " “You love some one else? Don’t be afrald of me! 1 can bear what 18 coming to me'” She gave a tragic little gesture and the other man stepped to her side with a protective movement.
