CHAPTER V. ;
rC WAS late afternoon whan the train
fat which Helen Gorman waa tra valine
rolled Into th Grand Central station.
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. . The porter who offered to
carry her bag smiled aa he touched his
"Where shall I take it Miss?" be
queried. -'- - -
"Why I don't know." ahe
"I mean i have a trunk on Un train,
too," , ' , . . .-- .
"I cant ten until I see If my friend
meets roe," the girl replied.
Elisabeth Mayo had written that there
was Just a chance that she could set
away from a case she was nursing la
time to meet thla train. If not. 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.
"Oh, here you are ! and "oh. my
daar. how good tt is to sea you ! were
sentences that earns to the, stranger's
ears. ' And ah fait sadly lonely la this
big dty. , ;j-"-. - .
' 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. ' "He
wta gt H for y an right" i t
"Ha was vdently waiung for seaui
thing, and Helen remembered that be
must be tipped.
Opening her purs sh looked: into it
Th amallst pteoa of silver sh had
waa a half dollar. -. r
Without aa instant's hesitation ah
laid it tn th' man's hand. -
rrhank yos. Miss." ' ' ; , -
Th grin expressed surprise and grati
fication. Women were not la tha habit
of tipping 'as rnroualy as this. I
was plain to be seen that th young
person did not know New Tork ways
ret . . , - -
He was still grinning as be closed th
door and touched his can. At th bag-gara-room

Helen handed It' to him. '" H dtaap.

swung it up oa th seat beside .him
Then, whew ahe had flven him tha ad
dress of th apartment ttous that . waa
her destination, he drove out Into th

Helen leaned forward with a -gasp of

Here, as ta SUteavIUe when sh left.
It waa raining. Th wet asphalt re-
