For he past hour ' the girl bad been gazing eagerly from the ear windows. She had not been to New York since she was a little girl, and had forgotten much of that experience. But she had been to Boston, and fancied that ahe knew something about big ciUaa. v So when, after going through many suburban r towns, comfortable homes were left behind, and blocks of city streets came into view, Helen supposed that her Journey's end was in sight Hastily ahe put on her hat. coat and gloves.-and. sat up very straight pre paratory to leaving the car. When she stepped from the car at the Grand Central, ahe drew a long breath of relief. .

Helen waa to "take a taxi and drive over to the apartment1' It sounded very easy, and Helen had thought of it aa aimple. Now, however, ah waa dased by the crowd about her and conscious of her lack of experi ence. . . I guess we'd heat go right to tha waitin room." the porter advised. Helen followed th uniformd figurs. As they emerged at the station-end of the long platform eh heard the wel comes given to som of her fellow travelers by those waiting to receive them.

' Indeed. h felt aa if she wara alone In a great big world as sh gaaed around the waiting-room for a familiar face. "Tour friend knew what train' you was com in on?" the ported aaked. "Oh, yes. aha knew," Helen told him. "I suppose ah waa detained, so I will Just take a cafe to her home. -Where do I gat th cab, and where, do I find my trunk?" . " - -" . "Corns with me!" the man said, lead ing the way through' one of the doors. Her ha summoned a taxi. and. when It' drew up at the curb, he deposited Helen's bag In ft and helped her to her Than he told th chauffeur lo -drive around to the baggage room for the trunk. . ' ' ' ' . ' "Oh, yotf dont' V there With me?" Helen asked, again assailed by a gain ful timidity.: ' i "NoMlas, tha driver win so t th trunk," tha porter' tnformed her.
