got' Masters henie, and Mrs.:Pilasters as
had got the children marsthalled out vision,
in the front yard. because there was
not any other place where they would tight,
the
not be in the way, and D,octor Me-
Turk had got the oall that brought
him- on the run, everybody in Big
Cloud was talking about it and won-
dering, what the 'Masters folks were
going to 6 all except Prouty.
You know a certain kind' of woman
-maybe there are a lot of them,
maYbe theYhe 'scarce and there's only
a few -but there are some -the kind
that gush out 'sympathy, and take
pains while they're doing it to- let
you see the darkest side of every-.
-thing, seeming to get a morbid plea-
sure out, of it that is pungently un-
holy. Mrs. MacGonigal, the freight
conductor's wife'v, who lived. next door,
was one of that kind. She came right
in to Sympathize with MTS. Masters a
the -moment be doctor left the house.

Scharff was the only ohe that dis-
agreed'
iScharff?I Scharff was carrying a
punch on the Limited now, wasn't he?
No; he and Prouty didn't .meet -yard
switching and a Limited run didn't
have much in core -mon. Prouty never
said anything about hire-eidetracked
the conversation, for that matter, ev-
ery tune the conductor's ria -me hap-
pened to come up. And Scharff didn't
say much, either -it evidently wasn't
a pleasant topic for him; Ile had car-
marks on his face for too many
e- . •
0 he and heard too much about the
a '
cause of them; to haaker about intro-
clueing the subject hirnself---and when
the marks 'went, the went into the
black ;blood in his heart.
