' PUNCH'S EXAMPLE.
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

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,
