The flrnt cluu smoking carriage m the emptiest In the whole train, and oven this wn hot to mifTncation, because my only companioi) denied tne more than inch of open window. Hia cheat, e explained enrtly, wa "Bnnceptible." An we crawled wentwurd throngn the glaring cnjjntry, tlie huii'b rays lieat on tbo carriage roof till 1 Deemed to be ornnhed under an anvil, counting the strokes. I hud dropjmd my book and wae staring listlessly out of the window, - At the other end of tho compartment my fellow pusBimgcr had pullud down all the hlindB and hidden his face be hind The Wcstorti Morning News. He was a red faced, choleric little man of about sixty, with a salient stomach, a .prodigious nose, to which he carried snuff alrout once in two minutes, and a marked deformity of tbe shoulders. For comfort and also pcrhaM to bide this hump, bo rested his hack in the angle by tbe window. He wore a hluck al paca coat, a high stock, white waistcoat and trousers of shepherd's plaid. On no dotinito grounds, 1 guessed biiu to be a lawyer anil nninnrried. Just Iwforo entering the station at Lostwithiel, our train passed between the white gates of a level crossing. A momout Isifore 1 hud caught Bight of tbe "Ueorge" drooping from tbe cbnrch spire, and at tbe crossing I saw it was rcguttuduy in tbe little town. The road was full of pcoplo and lined with sweet standings, and by tbe near end of the bridge a Punch and Judysbow was just closing a performance. Tho orchestra bad unloosed bis drum and fallen to mopping the buck of his neck with tbe Ted handkerchief that had previously bound the pun pie to bis cbiu. A orowd bung around, and among it 1 noted sevorut men and women in black, hideous blots in tbo pervading sunshine, . Tho station platform was thronged as .we drew up, and it was clear at once that all the carriages in the train would lie besieged without regard to class. By somo chance, however, we were disre garded and escape seemed likely till tho vory last moment. The guurd's wbiHtle was between his lips, when I heurd a shout, then one or two feminine screams and a party of seven or eight came tear ing out of the booking office. Every one of them was dressed in complete black. They wore, in fact, the jieople 1 bud seen muring at the Punch and Judy show. A moment luter tbo door of our com partment opened und wo were invaded. They tumbled in over my legs, puutiug, laughing, exclaiming, calling to each other to hurry an old man, two youths, four middle nged women aud a little girl nliout four yeurs old. My choleric fellow passenger leaped up, choking with wrath, and shouted to the guard. But the door was slammed on his indig nation, and we moved off. He sat back, pnrple uliovo his stock, rescued hi niulaecu walking stick from under the coat tails of a sulnidiug youth, stuck it upright between his knees and glared around at tbe intruders. They were still possessed with excitement over their narrow escape and unconscious of of fense One of the women dropped into tbe corner seat and took the little girl on her lap. Tho child's dusty boots rubbed against tho old gentleman's trou sers. He shifted bis position, gruuted, and took snuff furiously. "That was nibby jibby," tho old man of the party observed, while bis eye wau- dored around tor a Beat. "1 thought 1 should ha' died," said a robust woman, with await on horcheok and a yurd of crape hanging from her bonnot. "Cau't 'eo find nowhere to sit, under" . "Beckon 1 must shift 'pon your lap, Susannah." This was suid with a chuckle, and tho woman tittered. "What new tangled game be this o' tho Great Wostern's. Arms to the seats, 1 declare. We'll have to sit intimate, my loars." . " 'Tis first class," another woman an nounced in an awed whisper. "1 saw it 'pon the door. You don't think they'll fine us." " 'T all comes of our stoppin to glare at that Punch an Judy," tho old follow went on, aftor 1 had shown them how to turn back the arm rests and they were settled in something like comfort. "But I never could rofrain from that antic tho' 1 feels condemned, too, in a way an noor Thomas laid in earth no later than 11 this mornin. But in the midst of life we are in death." "1 don't remember a more successful buryin," said the woman with tho wart. "That was part luck, yon soe it bein resratta dav an' the fun o' the fair not Dtoperly begun. 1 saw a lot at the cemoterv 1 didn't know by face, an I reckon they was mostly oxoursionista I tuas caugui siui ul luuPloi " 1 lowed it, to fill np the time,)' . "Well, it all addod, The beat in the carriage by this time was hardly more overpowering than the smell of crape, broadcloth and camphor. Tbe youth who had wedgd himself next to me carried a large packot of "fairing," which he had bought at one of the sweet stalls. He began to insert it into his side pocket, and in his strug gles drove an elbow sharply into my ribs, 1 shifted my position a little, "Tom's wife would ha' felt it a source o' pride, bad she lived." But I ceased to listen; for in moving I bad happened to glance at the farther end of the carriage, and there my at tention was arretted by curious little piece of pantomime. The little girl a dark eyei., intelligent child, whose pal lor was emphasized by the crape which smothered her was looking very close ly at the old gentleman with the hump staring at him hard in fact. He. on the other band, was leaning forward with both hands on the knob of his malacca, bis eyes bent on the floor and his mouth squared to the surliest expression. He seemed quite unconscious of her scru tiny, and was tapping one foot impa tiently on tlie floor. After a minute 1 was surprised to see her lean forward and touch him gently on the knee. He took no notice tieyond shufSiug about a little and uttering a slight growl. The woman who bold her put out an arm and drew buck tbe child's hand reprovingly. The child paid no heed to this, but continued to stare. Then in another two minutes she again bent forward and tapped the old gentle man's knee. This time she fetched a kinder growl from him aud ah iruscibie glure. Not in the least daunted, she took bold of bis mulnccu and shook it to and fro in her smull band. "1 wish to heavens, tnudum, you'd keep your child to yourself!" "For shume, Annie!" whispered the poor woman, cowed by his look. But again Annie paid no heed, indeed she pushed the malacca toward the old gentleman, saying: "Please, sir, will 'ee warm Mister Bar- rabcl wi' thiB?" He moved uneasily aud looked hursbly at her without answering. "For shame, Annie!" the woiiiun murmured a second time: but 1 snw her lean back and a tear started and rolled dowu her check. "If yon pleuse, air," repeated Annie, "will 'ee warm Mister Bnrrahel wi' this?" The old geutleman stared at her. In his eyes you could read the question, "What in the devil s name does the child meau?" The robust woman read it there and answered biiu huskily: "Poor mite, she's buried her father this mornin; an Mister Barrabel is the eoftiu maker, au nailed 'im dowu." "Now," auid Annie, this time eagerly, "will 'ee wurm him same as tbe big doll did just uow?" Luckily the old geutleman did not un derstand this last allusiou. He had uot seen the group uround the Puuch und Judy show, nor if he had is it likely be would have guessed tbe train of thought iu tbe child's mind. But to me, us I looked at my fellow passenger's nose nud the deformity of bis shoulders and remembered how Punch treats the un dertaker, it was pluiu enough. 1 glanced at the child's companions. There was nothing iu their faces to show that they took the allusion. Aud the next minute 1 was glad to think that 1 alone knew what bad prompted Annie's speech. For us 1 looked, with a beautiful change on bis face, the old geutleman had taken the child on his knee aud was talking to her ul dare say he bad never talked before. "Are you her mother?" he asked, look ing up suddenly aud addressing the woman opposite. "Her mother's beeu dead iSf two year. I'm her mint, uu l'm'Takm her home to rear 'long wi' my own childer." He was bowling over Annie, aud had resumed his chat. . It was all uonseuse something about the silver knob of bis malacca but it took hold of tbe child's fancy and comforted her. At tbe next station I had to alight, for it w,w the end of my journey. But looking back into tbe carnage as 1 shut tbe door, I saw Annie bending forward over the walking stick and following the pattern of its silver work with her small linger. Her face was turned from the old gen tleman's, and behind her little black hat his eyes were glistening. Arthur T, (juiller-Couch in Speaker.
