which brings them to our notice is an invita tion to be present at a wedding in the north of England But her was a Mrs Sheldon was bo indisposed as to be unlit for the journey yet she did not wish Zona to stay at home Unhap pily among other ideas perhaps a eronoouH Mrs Sheldon had a firm belief that it was a perilous un dertaking to travel in a compartment car unless there were so many passengers that there was no possible danger of assault I dont want you to consider me at all Zona said mother I am not ill onlyjust indisposed enough not to feel able to take such a journey You know Mrs will take good care of me If you will only promise not to go an empty compartment think I can rest easy Very well mother I will promise you that said Zona Morning saw our heroine at the Kings Cross station anxiously scan ning the carriages to make sure of one well filled and at least one or two ladies in it At last she saw one that met her requirements and slipping a coin into the hand of the guard she entered train steamed out of station and Zona took a survey of her fellow- travellers There was a family father mother and three children an elderly lady two business men and in one corner a man whom she did not particularly notice She took out her fountain pen and a sheet of paper and wrote All safe compartment full At the first stopping place she gavo it to guard and the busy wires carried it to her mother setting at rest her fears And now Zona who was a good traveller settled down to enjoy her self For a while she looked out of the window admiring the flying So trade Cheap Store For a moment Zona was possessed with an insano desire to scream and only by a strong effort controlled her self The man in tho corner who up to this time had not moved from his scat all day now rose and walked to the other end of the car Zona trem bled with fear He reached under the seat and took out a small satchell which he opened Was he going to get a revolver No it would he a knife a revolver would make too much noise She watched him with fascinated eye lie took out something small and slipped it into the pocket of bis coat Soon he rose and sauntered to the far end of the car He lit a taper bent down and was engaged with somethingwhat was it Zona put her hand to the window and made a desperate effort to open it that she might be ready to call the guard The man heard and turned he came quickly forward Allow me he said politely Oh no thank you said Zona hastily She felt sure ho had designed her purpose and that there was a covert in his tone Ho settled down in the corner again and Zona cast furtive glances at him and always when she looked he withdrew his gaze from her What a powerfully built fellow he is went her thoughts What a villainous countenance can see he is a desperate fellow How foolish I to let my watch and ring he seen I am sure he is looking at my ring Nov the ring was a very beautiful diamond given to Zona by her moth er and Zona with a disregard for conventionality wore it on the finger which is usually set apart to carry the signal of engagement Therefore his thoughts were Engaged Well I dont wonder she surely is the love liest girl I ever saw I wonder who the happy fellow is What can be the matter with though She doesnt look a bit like she did the first of the day Ive a notion to scape Then she produced a to her an American girl isnt and began to read likely to bo so squeamish as a native Anon a new sensation stirred within ere goes her she drew out her dainty I your pardon he said a- watch ana looked at it Twelve look

Englishman wouldnt speak without an introduction thought Zona if lie hadnt some design It was some time before the now country her jacket and began to eat The was answered for she was making man the corner took this opportu nity to read the title of her book a calculation whether if she should tell him that her journeys end was Papers I know shes an American can see it from tho tip beat of his

the as it vent to its joy at emerging into tho daylight again man wan at her Bide I beg pardon for intruding are you hurt he asked anxiously Zona thought his anxiety was caused by fear lest the guard might heard her scream At the same time sbo became conscious that the pain was in her right eye A cinder from the open window had lodged in it If you would let me said the stranger producing from his pocket a handkerchief Chloroform I hashed through Zonas brain and shrieked out No dont come near- me Poor thought the would be Samaritan She must suffer dreadfully Then aloud I am sure if you would only No tell you said Zona ve hemently with a stamp of her foot The man subsided into his corner and Zona with her eye fast swelling bitterly repented her temerity in tak ing the journey Ill never travel again Oh dear I dont suppose Ill ever travel at all again I have laughed at dear mamma and thought her fussy ought to have considered that she know the world better than I And then a long whistle The man in the corner rose snatching up his satchel the guard unlocked the door- Newcastle rnaam youre at your journeys end and he picked up her valise Will Zona Sheldon ever again know such a sense of relief or will any other face ever bo so welcome to her as was that of the burly guard as he made this announcement to her She was safely on the platform and a coachman narrowly watching the passengers stepped up to her saying Mr Mowbrays carriage for Miss Sheldon I am she she said in a voice which her mother would not have re cognized Let me have your then said the coachman extending his hand He opened the door and Zona stepping into the carriage sunk back on the cushions and burst into hyster ical tears The man who had been in the corn er standing with his satchel in his hand gave a low whistle as the sight met his gaze through the window Walking forward to the coachman he said Give me a lift Riley I guess Ill ride with you Hall right sir So that is the travelling young lady who is to be bridesmaid tomor row and stand up with me If Im not much mistaken she will be in no condition to stand up He swung himself lightly down at the gate The carriage was driven up to the hall Zona was helped out and warmly greeted by her friend Louise while Riley to avoid answer ing questions drove away The first greeting over Louise look ed about her Where is Didnt cousin Would she recognize tho do you asked Dr who had listen with much interest to LouiseS recital I dont know indeed Louise She fifty he a tall powerful fellow very sinister looking You had better let me her eye at all events said her cousin If you dont will not be fit for duty tomorrow Zona said Louise as she came in after dinner Cousin John thinks you had belter Jet him examine your eye He says it is dangerous to let the inflammation run on and he thinks it will quite well tomorrow if you get a good nights rest Well if you wish it I dont want to spoil your wedding after t Miss Sheldon my cousin Dr said Louise as she ushered in the doctor Zona whose vision was much impaired by the sore eye did not recognize as the man in the corner He merely A clean pocket handkerchief Louise he said cheerily At the sound of his voice Zona look ed up quickly A twinkle shone in John blue eyes Now Miss Sheldon one moment and it is out he said What instant relief exclaimed Zona Thank you doctor You are quite welcome he re plied tomorrow I hope you will have quite forgotten it There was little sleep that night for Zona Sheldon What a little idiot I have been How could have imagined such things of him He is tall and power fulthat was right Hut dark and murderouslooking Why he is fair er than I What blue eyes and what a pleasant smile Oh how can I meet him in the morning Louise had not told him Hut sleep came at last and Zona awoke radiant as ever She dressed and went into the park to settle how she should meet Dr Hut it was settled for her a sudden turn of the path brought her face to face with him A moment of confusion a flush that died her whole face and then the smile on his Income contagious and she burst into a peal of merry laughter which he echoed Dr she said I hope you will be merciful and keep my secret I am not likely to tell a secret so much to my disadvantage What was it Please doctor she implored I did not notice your at ail I had parted with my senses Very well then he said It is a compact Let us go back to the house for breakfast and say no more it Had not the whole household been absorbed in the wedding they must have seen that there was a secret un derstanding between the compatriots which quickly ripened into intimacy And Zona to go back to Lon don under your escort John said Louise Provided she is not afraid to travel with me he said with a Here her auditors glanced at each other and burst into uncontrollable laughter Mr Sheldon looked amazed Thereby hangs a talc mother said Zona when she had recovered her voice and she related story Miss Zona lias omitted the sequel said Dr Pierpont gravely which is that I have won from her a consent subject to your approval to be her protector and yours too for the rest of our lives To- say that Mrs Sheldon was astonished would be putting it mildly but I am happy to say that neither she nor they ever had reason to regret that they travelled in the The at Bowie oclock she was aroused by hearing to this and other remarks and he the mother of tho family say- Wake upTilliel Wake up I We get out at the next station Zona looked about with a start to see the October day darkening down and realized that when family perfore relapsed into silence Ho wants to me talk and throw mo off my guard thought Zona again attempting to open the window and this time with success Boon darkness increased and the party should leave train and hollow rumbling told that tho train the man in the comer would bo the had entered a tunnel With echoes only occupants of the compartment thundering in ears Zonas nerves John come I thought maybe he- would come with you he went down to London a few days ago No there was no ono with me only a horrid and hero hysterics again threatened her My dear Zona said Louise no ticing her agitation let me take you in you are positively trembling with cold Oh yes do let me get upstairs awhile I bad a dreadful time Ill tell you all about it And in Louises snug room the prospective bridesmaid recounted her woes and was pitied and comforted and assured that she should not be allowed to go back alone Cousin John Pierpont who is going to be best man is going down and he will see you safely back Yon know he is an American a graduate in medicine and has been studying in Edinburgh He is going to spend winter in London hospitals and I know you will him I hear a bustle now I believe he has come Will

were seated the sole occu pants of a compartment Will you tell me one thing Zona What was it you took of your satchel and put in your pocket So you dont wholly trust even yet he said with a was a mirror You looked at me with such a horrified face that thought there must be something wrong with my looks Now will you answer me a question Had you made up your mind what to do if worst came to
