I-warmed to my companion at once on his saying: this, and it wae not lengthe-' fore I had. informed hima good deal about my private life; drawing a glow} ing picture’ ef my country home, and the little genius who, like an angel, presided over it. He appeared so interested that I even went a step farther in the: lightitess‘of ‘my heart, and’ told -him:’ not ‘only that thisiwas the anniversary of my: wedding day, but that I was intending to surprise my wife on my return: home -with‘a little [' unexpected present. In exchange’ for this frankness my companion also became confidential. “You'd hardly think,’.he said, speaking in a low yyice as. he leaned .over toward me; “that this bag which Tl hold in my hand ¢ontains jewelry worth close va to ten thousand.pounds sterling, would you? Ah, you look surprise! Aud‘yet it w cighs but very little. ‘Try iu!” ‘Jewels are nf necessarily heavy. afticles,” 1 said, balancing the bag critically, which -seemet uo heavier? than my own. “But,” I .s:ided,.ismiling, while a flatter. passed through my frame at ::ol. ting in my hands sc much Wealth, “it. is none.too wise te trust a stranger with soprecious an article as this, is it?” “ “Oh, FT hive no fear of you,” he. re? plied, w.th~ charming candor. ~~ ‘I ehink I know a regue* when I see one."} {n my lic of tusiness Thave occasioit to mix wiil ‘ajl.sonts of, people, and nearly a liiciime of experience has’ given me a sufficient insight into the characters of, inen to be able almost to -judge theni at-a-glance.” = Wondering who my companion could be, but conviueed in. my own mind that he was some one of importance, and attered: somewhat by ‘his confidence, ra ihiaodad bia back ‘the. bag, iwhieh' he placed on the seat beside mine, and immediately started another. run of _ en-’ tertaining conversation. Considerably to my regret, this was interrupted by } the,train-puiling into thestation. = SAb,y here 1s . my, destination,” said the stranger, rising at once and yer bag. ‘Good afternoonl. “ARope "nen, will'allow me to” 7 weeny est of miyexist. es : “NEVADA cry, CAL, mart "1 ae ‘TRANSORIPT, eB!

He appeared so interested that I even went a step farther in the: lightitess‘of ‘my heart, and’ told -him:’ not ‘only that thisiwas the anniversary of my: wedding day, but that I was intending to surprise my wife on my return: home -with‘a little [' unexpected present. In exchange’ for this frankness my companion also became confidential. “You'd hardly think,’.he said, speaking in a low yyice as. he leaned .over toward me; “that this bag which Tl hold in my hand ¢ontains jewelry worth close va to ten thousand.pounds sterling, would you? Ah, you look surprise!
