The Empty Compartment.

I am not a racing man, and there fore looking at others through myself after the manner of my kind I did not imagine that I should be delayed on my journey homeward by the fact that the day of my return was the great day at W- —-races. A fortnight of my summer holiday had been devoted to fly fishing on cer tain well preserved streams in north Wales. I had fished from the bank, I had waded through mountain torrents, and every evening had com« back tired and happy, and laden with silver brown treasures, jeweled with specks of am ber and vermilion. And now the nets were up at sea and I was waiting, waiting for the great salm on that were surely hurrying toward me. For days I had pictured their coming, had stood by a pool through which they must pass, had studied the fly, gaudy, but not too gaudy, with a glint of pea cock amid its pheasant's coloring, and one touch of crimson in the silk which bound it, which no salmon of any ouri osity could resist. And just then, just when I had heard of fish six miles below me, when weather was perfect and long patience about to be rewarded, a telegram summoned me home and blackness settled upon every thing. The landlord sympathized with me at the little Angler's inn, where I was staying, but when I told him the serious nature of my telegram he did not like to refer to the pleasures that awaited me if I remained, but only pointed out the dangers on my path if I left, "Those dreadful F- races 1" One train only would get me to Lon don that night; by starting at once 1 could run to an important junction, a couple of hours away, change there and be in town by eight or nine o'clock. Now this junction was on the direct line to F—— races. I reached the station a trifle late, for it had been quick work to take my rods to pieces and get my flies that were on the casts tenderly into my book. How ever, I was in time, and found a rather noisy set of half a dozen men on the .platform whom I took to be bookmakers, why I cannot say, as I do not know any signs to distinguish a bookmaker when I aee him, and I may be mistaken. I gathered that one train had passed through too full for them to get seats, and I heard one say to the station master, "Look here, I gave you a good tip, and It's hard lines if you don't put a carriage on for self and friends if the next'a as full as the last." "The next" was full, if about Bix above the usual number in each cont partment constitutes repletion, and the station master's gratitude led to the run ning out ©f an old carriage from a shed, into one compartment of which jumped "self and friends." Profiting by this importunity, but not anxious for their company, I got into the next compartment, and was glad to find myself alone. I settled my rods in the rack above my head, disturbing dust and cobwebs as I did so, pulled a news paper from one pocket and a traveling cap from another and read myself to sleep. We had had a long sitting in the smoking room the night before over the momentous question of the salmon, and I slept soon and heavily.

How long I slept I cannot say, hut I awoke in the roar and rattle of a tunnel —awoke in thick darkness to hear the slow panting of the engine and feel the labored strain which told me we were going up hill; also to a more disagree able consciouaness, namely, that I was not alone, that there were other persons ' in the compartment and that therefore I must have passed a station. What a fool I must have looked, Bleep ing heavily in broad daylight, bo heavily that two persons at least had passed me in getting in without disturbing my boorish slumbers. Two at least—for they were talking andHistened fora moment to their conversation, wishing to gather who my companions might be before daylight showed them to me. They wore very near me, it seemed, on the opposite seat by the door, and the first words I heard were these, spoken in a gentle girlish voice, but with a sad firmness in it: "I cannot, Harry!" The answer startled me, it was so roughly given, and the voice was a man's, "You mean you won't, Kate, and there's an end of it." Then the girl whispered something that I did not catch, but I could hear the man half push her from him as he exclaimed: •'I am a ruined man without it, and you won't lift a finger to save me." , , This would never do; they evidently fancied me still asleep, and would be talking over all sorts of private affairs, so I coughed, moved uneasily, rustled my newspaper, and, as the first distant gleam showed that the train was neajv ing daylight, planted myself firmly in my corner prepared for apology or de fense, and when we rushed out of the darkness found myself absolutely alone. This was absurd; I had been asleep, indeed, but yet, as I looked around and

(To be continued.)

I read myself to steep.
