Kitty Bclwhistle distributed a farewell
series of nods and smiles.
She d'e eys, now that she was leavil uite fond of the ghothem.
They were sorry to lose their guest, un-
doubtedly
Their brother sorrowed also, but not
as one without hope. Business of a
• pressing nature was likely to take him
up to London in the course of a week or
so.
Kitty, experienced hand that she was,
had not spent three weeks at Norwich
Grange for nothing. The understand-
ing between herself and the heir of the
Norwich acres was pretty definite, that
young gentleman flattered Himself.
They were almost, if not exactly, en-
gaged.
Kitty had made the usual Stipulation.
•
If within,te space of twelve months
from date she met somebody else she
lied better than dear Chubbington, all
that had passed between them was
thenceforth to be, regarded as an idle
dream. If, on the other hand, she did
not,then---!
Kitty pulled up the window and sank

back into her comfortable corner seat.
The first-class compartment contained
no other passenger except the charm-
ing young lady in the Sealskin goat and
crimson feathered toque, who consulted
her complexion in the strip of looking
glass before she fell to overhauling 11
bags and packages.
The journey was tedious, and woul
be certain to be a cold one upon th
keen, frosty January day.
But Kittv--who always was distinguish-
ed by admirable forethought in mat-
ters where her own well being was con-
cerned—had got all her little comforts
around her.
"Eau de cologne. Yes, the housemaid
put it in. How stupid of Parker to
catch bronchitis. of course, I vias
obliged to leave her behind. If I had in-
sisted on her traveling she would 'have
been sure to incur a fresh chill and 'die
on me' out of spite.
"If anything in the shape of an ad-
venture oould possibly present itself in
the course of the humdrum seven hours'
railway journey between Norwich and
Liverpool I should be inclined to wel
come it ---unless it came in the form of a
railway smash. Ugh! The bare idea
makes one shudder.
"Let ins just peep at the luncheon
basket. Tongue and turkey sandwiches,
hard boiled egg and anchovy ditto, a
bottle of Chablis, with the cork drawn,
anda tiny flask of benedictine. Half a
pine and a bag of macaroons. Perhaps
Chubby superintended the arrange-
ments. Poor Chubby!"
And Kitty smiled a heartless little
smile tit the remembrance of Chubby's
pink tinged nose and tearful eyes. Then
she opened a brand new railway novel,
"The Fang of the Adder," and immersed,
herself in the most thrilling chapter of
that electrical work.
"Forked and lurid flashes of light-
ning sheenity played over the midnight
azure. A low peal of thunder rumbled
overhead as Paulina gained the church-
yard, She reached the lonely resting
place of the man whom her heart had
worshipped the man whom her resentless
hand had guided to his doom.

Chin was bitterly avenged.
"As sobs thickened in his murderess'
strangling throat and she sank forward
amid the matted and tangled grasses—
what happened?
"A hand touched her on the shoulder.
A voice said hoarsely—"
"Kimpton! Kimpton! Change 'eer for
Carbury and Walsing."
The train slowed and stropped with a
jerk.
Kitty shut the book and let down the
window,
Something darkened the carriage,
door. A dark faced, mustached, fur
coated stranger got in hurriedly. He
tramped on Miss Belwhistle's toes and
apologized floridly. His tone offended
her ears, the perfume which exhaled
from his garments offended a still more
sensitive perception.
He trampled on Kitty's toes again, as
he received into his arms a heavy bun-
dle—the helpless figure of another man
and deposited it in a further corner oi'
the compartment with evident difil-
eulty,
Another mustached, scented and fur
clad stranger followed and sat himself
down in the seat immediately opposite •
Miss Belwhistle.

confusion she stooped for her book,
which lay sprawling on the floor.
"The young lady thought Mr. Walk-
er might be feeling ill, Signor Denzo,"
remarked No, 2 "Tell hint to answer
hisself, if he's got any manners in him."
The signor nodded and looked at the
invalid. Immediately Mr. Walker
spoke in a queer, highly pitched voice,
which seemed to come from under the
seat which he occupied.
"I thank you, miss, for your kind in-
quiries, and beg to say I am quite well."
Kitty began to regret the exclama-
tion of alarm into 'which see had been
betrayed ; She began to wonder how,
long it would be before the next stop-
page should aafford her an opportunity
of exchanging to an other carriage.
This horrible pair were evidently bent
upon improving .the occasion.
Rosebaum offered her a comic paper.
Declined with thanks.
The di'„nor produced a silver flask of
cognao,••which might haiw contained
about a quart, and audaciously invited
the young lady to test the quality of its
contents. Declined with thanks.
Upon which both the signor and Mr.
osenbaum applied themselves to the
quer with great good will. They pro-
uced huge packages of sandwiches

g the invalid a share of their supplies.

From these introductory remarks y
will understand with what reluctance

There were two of us, and I

but as I said, I was running the shoia
and I thought I had a better plan.
tter
dam, driver dod wn to the Harwich ill go to oboa
from the station, leave our baggage on
board, find when she leaves, then tak
a carriage, drive through Rotterdam
and see the city.
So we left and reached the Beurs sta-
tion a little before 3 o'clock in the after-
noon. I did not know what tirno the
Harwich boat left Rotterdam, but I
knew she lett the hook at half -past 10,
and I supposed she would leave Rotter-
dam anywhere between 8 and 9. This
would give us time to see the city
and have a good dinner at one of the
hotels.
On coming out of the Beurs station.
there was not a carriage to be seen.. We
walked along through that city for
half' an hour, without seeiug a single
cab plyingfor hire, Rotterdam re-
sembles Venice in many respects but In
none so much as as the lack of public
carriages; finally we took a street car
that went down to the wharf. A man
who told us what kind of street car to
take asked us if we intended to go by
the Harwich boat." I answered that we
did:
"Oh!" he said, "I am sure the Har-
wich boat has gone by this time."
But that seemed to me impossible,and
sure enough when we got off the street
car at the terminus, I saw the'fine
steamer Berlin at the wharf and I
could not help remarking to my com-
panion;
"If one paid attention to what every-
body said, one would have no fun at
was the reply, "but I notice
they are unloading this boat; and I think
that if she is going to sail tonight, they
would be putting things on, rather than
taking them oft. '
It struck me that there was some good
old common sense in this remark and
there was just a tone of apprehension in
my voice as I hailed a man on deck, and
shouted, "When does this boat leave 7"
The answer was stupefying—" To-
morrow night, sir."
"Good gracious !" I cried, "where is
the boat that leaves to -night ?"
"She left for the Hook of Holland
about half an hour ago, sir."
"Are there no trains for the Hook of
Holland?" I shonted.
"I think there are several," he ans-
wered. "You can find out at the Cen-
tral station."

ual Baedeker said that the best cafe was

by us on the wrong track, and we ulti-
of mately got into a restaurant that was
exceedingly second-class.

I the 11l-lck that was foil wing us would

would miss the boat altogether, and so

Now the Central station was at least
two miles back, and is called central bo -
cause it is entirely outside the town.
"Well," I said to my comrade, "there
seems to be nothing for it but to go back
to the Central station, leave our things
there, get diener,and then go down to
the Hook. There is certain to be a good
hotel in front of the station; there always
is in European cities."
So we got on the street car, and went
jingling back through the city.
After a while I said to the conductor,
"Let mo know when we come to the een
tral station, will you ?"
He answered, "Why did you not tell
me, when you paid your fare, that you
were going to the central station, then
I could have given you tickets that
would have taken you through ; as it is
you will have to get out at the next
street corner, and your fare on

I was acquiring information rai,idly
but still I was not pleased.

I was so nervous about things by
this . time that I thought it right Co
' make a few enquiries on the platform.
There was a Iarge crowd on the plat-
form so I collared a man in uniform and
said;
"From what part of the platform does
the train for the Hook leave?"
"There is no train for the Hook," he
answered.
"Oh, nonsense! " I replied, "I have
got my tickets for it, the 7.51."
"The 7.51 goes to Amsterdam," re-
plied the man.
Here was a fine state of things. I
rushed back to the ticket office.
"Look here," I said, " the fellow on
the platform says that the 7.51 does not
go to the Hook at all."
"Well you tell him that it does," an
swered the ticket man,
"Are you certain it does ?"
"O£ course I am."
This seemed reassuring, so I wen
back and again collared the man on the
platform.
"The ticket clerk," I said, "insists
that ,this train does go through to the
Hook. Are you sure there is not a car-
riage on that goes that way ?"
"I telLyou, the whole train," answered
the man, "goes to Amsterdam., It stops
at Schiedam and The Hague, and does
not go anywhere near the Hook of Hol-
land."
He was so positive about this that my
faith in the clerk was once more shaken,
and I rushed back to him.
"You will excuse my bothering you
again, but this man says that the whole
train goes through to Amsterdam, stop-
ping at Schiedam and The Hague, and
docs not go near the Hook of Holland.
Now what have you to say to that?"
"Of course it does not go near that?".
Hook of Holland. You get off at Schie-
dam. Across the platform you will find
another train that goes to the Hook."
"Oh, I see," I replied much relieved,
"but I think you might have told me
that before."
My comrade, who had been making
inquiries, having lost all faith in me,
now approached and said hurriedly:
"They say this is the Amsterdam
train that is coming in."
"Oh, that is all right," I answered
airily, waving my hand to intimate that
I knew all about it. "We get on this
train and go to Schiedam ; there we
change cars, and getto the Hook.
Don't you bother. Leave it all to me."
By this time the long train came tear-
ing in. The platform man saw us board
the Amsterdam train. He came up to
the carriage door and said :
"This won't get you to the Hook, you
know."
I answered in an off=hand manner,
"You, are talking through your hat.
You don't understand the running of
this line. We get out at Schiedam and
take the Hook train there."
B this time the trainwas movengon.
"Very Well," he said, as he closed the
door, '"you try 1t. " '
This remark did not tend to relieve
my anxiety, and my comrade would
not have been sUrprased if the train had
landed us in New York. We got oft at
Schiedam and there, sure enough, on
the other side of to platform was a
train waiting. It was a little train with
second and -third-class carriages on it,

wards The Hague and we took oiir$eats
on the lode' plan.
"I wish I was sure," said my compan-.
ton, "that this train were going to the
Hook of Holland."
"There is nowhere else for it to go," .
I answered loftily. "The line runs right
along the;µ slyer ..d, wn to the Hook, so
there cannot be any mistake."
The condgctor came, through and
looked at my tickets with a mournful
expression. He shook his head solemn-
lylutass. tine who would say N. G.
"What is the matter," I asked.
"This train only goes as far as Maas-
s
"And how far is that from the Hook?"
"About 8 or 10 miles," he replied.
-"Tho Hook is the next station."
I bad a wild idea of hiring a carriage
at Maassluis, and driving the rest of the
way. But I realized that if I could not
get a carriage in Rottendam, I was not
likeltheriyverto .get one in a small village down
In due time we reached Maassluia. I
had still another train up my sleeves,
which left Rotterdam about thirty min-
utes after the train we were on. I had
not counted on that train because some
nights it got down before the boat ex-
press and some nights after. However,
it was now our only hope. When we
were turned off at Maassluis there was
half an hour to wait. I sought out a
man at the station.
"There is another train for the Hook
to -night ?" I said.
";,Two of them." he answererd, "the
boat express and the local, buf neither
of them stop at this station.',
This was the last straw. I broke out
ihto language that was painful and free.
My last ace was taken by a trump. A
roan who heard me talking came up
and asked me what was the matter, and
I told him the situation.
"Ah you're all right still," he said
"The boat express won't stop, of course,
but if you ask the station master, he
will flag the local train, but if the boat
express passes first there will be no use
in taking the other train, for the steam-
er eaves a few minutes after the ex-
press comes in." ,��(,,,,
I may say that my hard luck rel iiited
in time, and .the local train came first.
Thus we got a stateroom and the boat
five minutes before the express came in.
