"I did 'low I'd take the hull, but I guess seventy-five dollars 'll do." He paid the money briskly out over the little glass shelf. "How is your children, Mrs. McIlvaine?"

See, fourpence in 'apence, that's all." The man's eye began to alarm Christopher. He shook with indecision, he gulped down his bitterness, he handed the golden coin. "All right; never mind change."

Perhaps when they were out he would go to her and ask, "Sis' Martha, what was that hymn you stahrted to-day?" and she would probably answer, "Oh, dat was jes' one o' my mammy's ol' songs." "Well, it sholy was mighty pretty. Indeed it was." "Oh, thanky, Brothah Gidjon, thanky."

Quin tore back to the station and dashed through the waiting-room, the dining-room, the baggage-room.
