Any of my acquaintance* »miM nay that It would be easy and even agreeable to me. Yet peril* lurk tieaide the amootheat way. and who thai buya a ticket ever knowa bia actual deatina tton? The tank wa* put upon me by “Uncle Jim" Preacott of lianliury. Conn. I cuU him uncle becauae there la no lietter Word to expreaa the vague relationship hetween ua. Uncle Jim was a familiar figure In my boyhood'* day*, a fre quent and ever welcome visitor In my father'* hoiiae. He and hi* big yellow traveling bag are among my earliest recollection*. Thl* hag mini have been made of Imperishable material or else he had It skillfully renewed, for it look ed precisely the same five year* ago when I last saw Uncle Jim as in 1869. When my eyes first lighted on It. Ills daughter. Nina, wa* with Uncle Jim on that l*»t occasion—a child, all leg* and arms, and in the midst of the moat uninteresting period o f girlhood. But that was five years ago. At 18 she should have begun to resemble her mother, whom I remember reverencing In my youth as the ideal of woman hood. It was Nina whom I was to safeguard on the journey. Uncle Jim had heard that I was to leave for the west on the first day of November, and the date fell in very well with Nina's wish to visit a schoolgirl friend in Chicago. We were to meet in the Grand Cen tral station In time for the 6 o'clock express. 1 planned to be there half an hour in advance, but the habit of years prevailed, and I rushed into the sta tion with a ' grip" in each hand at pre cisely four minute* of 6. It was short allowance of time for finding my relative*, buying my tick et- ami witnessing a farewell between a father and a daughter, but I am al ways in a hurry, and it doesn’t bother me much. .My first glance failed to detect the tonering form of Unci* Jim, but I spotted the old yellow hag on the fiuoi beside the door through which the I u— ltol»4 mpmm « *kw# to# >*•« j w—g —MW MM to—M. h* ktoy I mm 9 aaWto pa »*•—"* to min j | Maa* MM* a** am Mh* Mr#— *•*• •to** tlto# •—» mm* tto ■»•#**• •• Al——k Mm M* 4 *>« an! * a*""* tow hwatoMh* i* tarni MM* to> mmm* ♦* tot iwa "W«# to « that <• ait— tot»a | a— m* *Ttot *—to»a.

Nina’" said X. rushing up to the girl a* she stood by the big bag trembling with Impatience. “I’ll get the tickets and be here In a Jiffy!" '•Oh. I thought you were never com ing"’ she cried. It was a football rush that carried me to the ticket window and back j again. “Where’* your fnther?" I asked as l , rejoined her. It wn* evident that she was looking nnxlously for him. "There! < >h, there!" she suddenly ex claimed. and darted through the gate Into the train shed. I did not see Uncle Jim, and there was no time to worry about him. The train was just starting: It was actually in ! motion when 1 swung myself aboard j with three gripsacks in two hands and ■ only a finger to grasp the guard rail. U'e found our seats In the Pullman, and the poor child sunk upon the rush ion* Ilk" one totally exhausted. I re proached myself bitterly for being so i late and subjecting her to such a nerv | out strain. She was actually shedding | tear*. "Cheer up." said 1. “We're all right I now." •I wish I hadn't come," said she. "Are I you sure George will meet us?" I hadn’t any idea who George was. hut to be reassuring I said that there was no doubt about his punctuality, -he j seemed relieved, and conversation died. ! As the train roared through the tunnel ; I busied myself in speculating what had become of Uncle Jim. There was some thing queer about the affair, and I could not fathom it. I had asked her one or two questions, and she had answered in H way that led me to believe that Uncle Jim had at the last moment refused his consent to her going and that she had played some sort of triek upon him. In such a case what should I do? While this question was running through my mind and I was planning an investigation I began lo experience that, queer sensation Which results, no body knows how, from somebody’s staring fixedly at the hack of one's head. 1 could not resist the impulse to j turn around, and when 1 did so I en- I THE .ATJGTJST.A.

"When do we gel to Greenwich?’ asked my unknown companion. Greenwich! Bo she w»s not only , with the wrong man. but she was on the wrong railroad. Obviously she had j made the mistake that many another ; had made before her and had wandered j Into Ihe waiting room of the New York j f'entral Instead of that of the New , York. New Haven anil Hartford. What j should I say to h*r? Hysterics was the least I could expect If I told her tha truth. "Don’t worry about that." said I. "Leave everything to me. I'll tell you all about It In a few minute*. Mean while I must speak to an acquaintance of mine who Is in this car. You'll ex- j cuse me. won t you'."' Hhe gave a tearful assent, and I cross- ) eil the ear and told the whole story to i my cousin Nina. Bhe found some nat- j oral difficulty In swallowing it. hut my i manner was marked by that aggrieved ] sincerity which come* to a man when j fate has really abused him. and litis prevailed. •'lt was all the fault of that old yel low traveling bag of your father's." said I. vVho Would have thought that there was another like It In the world?" "It you had come earlier.” she replied, with Just but gentle reproof. “Father and I gave you up. and he put me aboard the train. Hut there's no use talking about that. The question Is what to do right now. She seems a nice girl.” "Unquestionably." 1 hastened to say. "No one eould doubt it for n Moment.” "We must find out who her people are,” said Nina. "Her father must be sent for. Probably she will tell her sto ry to me more readily man to you. Take me over there and introduce me." “But I don't know her name.” "Never mind that. You know mine. Now, come along." Evidently Nina had grown up Into a young woman of great decision of char acter. She had made up Iter mind to , take this affair entirely off my hands. The other girl had no objection to | making an acquaintance. Indeed ahe | seemed to experience a deep relief In I the presence of one of her own sex. With infinite tact Nina toid her the , story of my mistake and obtained the girl's story In return. JHer name was Ethel Rogers, and she lived With her I parents in Plainfield, N. J.

She had missed him on the arrival of her truin from Plainfield, hut this contingency tyjd been provided for tn Ihe correspondence.

I was alsiul to follow her to see that *he alighted safely, when my attention was attract ed by a commotion at the other end of the car. In rushed the conductor of the train, th- I’ulbnan potentate and a person who could be nothing else than a sub urban officer of police. The I**l named had a telegram In hi* hand. All threa were talking excitedly. The officer's eye* met mine "There's the man’" he exclaimed, and In an Instant he hau hi* hsnd on my shoulder. The explanation was obvious. Mr. Rogers had telegraphed abend to have the train atoiqied ll>' had seen me In the station and had deserlbed me That wua easy enough, for I stand 6 feel 4 and have never been what one would call a quiet dresser. "Thut's the man. that's the suit of clothes, and that's the girl!" said Ihe officer, Ihe last words referring to Nlnu. 1 had my mouth open to protest, hut Nina stopped me. "Don't you say one word." she ex claimed. with a decisive force that would huve stopped the mouth of a can non. In another moment we were living |cil from the train. I ami my pretty cousin Nina, under arrest as un eloping couple. W" were entertained very nicely by a person who seemed to he the chief em bodiment of legal authority In that re gion. lb' gave us a good dinner, sauced with endless questions, to which we re plied only that we were not the person* i wanted and that somebody would get into serious trouble on account of our detention. About half past fl o'clock Mr. Rogers arrived, and It was a treat lo see him when his eyes rested on Nina.
