“Isn’t it nice of Beth, ‘mamma l” she said.
“I was getting so moped in this‘gtupid place, ‘

Tuesday morning. Then I shall get there
in time to see her dressed, and go to bed my-
self, and get nicely rested from my .journey
before Thanksgiving.”
“You seem to take it for granted that you
are going,” said Mrs. Thorns, laconicelly.
“Why, of course I am. Why shouldn’t
I ?"
“I suppose your friend

“pr, momma !” 'impctuou'sly. “What

house, and I shall be there comfortably to

' “Hy/.mother Would never have allow me
to undertake such a journey alone, and I

the mother. _ “But things are ~difi'ercut now-
a‘days, and I suppose it’s no use of my trying

“Good-by,rnamma; never fear for me; I
shall be all right, and you shall have a letter
to tell you so on Thursday.” And so the
parting. was over, and the train wali'ofi‘.
. Milly glanced round at her ' fellow-passen-
gers, but found none it them interesting
enough to repay the trouble of watching.
Thou she wandered idly off into the rose-
cOiored atmosphere of 'oung girl’s day-.
dreams. .
“Beth is very sly,” she thonght. “Just as
if I couldn’t guess what this sudden invita-
tion is sent all in a hurry for! Her brother
has got sleeve of absence unexpectedly; a‘nd
come on to spend Thanksgiving, and she's
as determined as ever that I shall be he'r sis-
ter if she can manage it. As though I Would
condesceud tohsve a man managed into lov-
ing me! I am curious, though, to see Beth’s
paragon. I wonder if he looks any thing
like this now 1’” ' ‘
She took out'a pocket-book of dainty red
moreCco, and abstracted .fi'omfone of its di-
visions a small photograph, somewhat worse
for wear. It was the likeness of a young»
man twenty-one or two yearsof age, per-
haps, with e rudy and beardlcss check, en in-
cipient mustache, and a pair of very .ilne
dark eyes, , Certainly a very good-looking
young fellow, though rather boyish; but
with a clear, open look which betbkened
abundant manliness of character.- ' , '
' Milly had heard in-many ways of the gal-
lant young Rutherford. She' had seen his
promotions rapidly chronicled; and now
that the war had been over for months, the
authorities still did not seem willing to
spare so useful an officer. But he was hun-
gry for home—"so Beth' had written—and
home-was hungry for him; and they were
all hoping to be able to persuade him to re-
sign. ' .
No word had come to Milly that this
much, wished for consummatidn had been
achieved; but Beth’s letters had been even
more cheerythan usual, .of late, and Milly
guessed shrewdly that this 'sudden and-- im-
perative summons _to New York ““mea‘nt
comet-hing.” ' What that something might
prove to be she amused herselfin imagining
and amplyfying, until disappearance are
sort of squatter settlement of. charities an-
nounced' the approach of the trsi‘n ‘ the
capital of the state. 7 " ‘ ’
The whistleflirfoked, the iron-horse stop-
ped short, andpimmcdiately set up a hissing,
which was responded tb by a brother steed-
of .thersilway which had just galloped up
from New- York. The'passengcrs began to
rush poll-incl! from both trains; beck-driv-
ers shouted, porters swore; men and women
jammed and crushed, and in the melee our
courageous but inexperienced traveler had'
rather a hard time of it. p p '
She was to change cars here to ‘Hudson.
River train, and her ticket bad to be renew-
ed. She took out her, pocket-book and held
it in her hand, ready to snatch her turn as
soon as a break in the crowd should give
her an opportunity; at the break did not
come. The living Cad of two long and
heavily freightcd trains was pushing, and
struggling, and crowdingundcr the misera-
ble shl‘luty which served as the terminus;
and in the midst of such a crowd a poor little
a; have every thing yfil REUW' "
ever.
presently elbowod and shouldered out be-
tween tlie'bsrs of the great Hudson River
gridiron, her hat pushed away, her dress dis'
ordered, her face burning with indignation
—and her pocket-book gone!
“What shall I do i” she exclaimed.
Only one person in all that self-consider-
ing crowd'secr‘ned to how leisure to attend
to this call of distress. ' This was a tall
young man, with'licavy dark beard and hair
in military undress, and with the air, half
prompt, of a soldier off duty. He was cross-
ing the track upon which poor Milly stood,
‘ just where the last thrust had lodged her, and
heard her despairing exclamation. Look-
ing ward her in, surprise, he discovered
that this piteous cry proceeded from a young
lady, perfectly dressed, and every way
charming in appearance, especially with that
look of pleading helpleséness in her wide,
frightened eyes. ' ' , _
Virtue Could never prove to be more fully
its own reward media the serviCe'of this
lovely but distressed damsel; at least so the
young oflcer seemed to think, for he step-i
ped forward at once, and touching his cap
deferentially, said, in a sympathetic tone :.
“Gaul serve you in any way, Madam?
May I ask what has happened to disturb
you i” '
Milly drew back for .an instant at the ac-
cost, prepared-to been with a glance this
presumptuous individual of the male sex
who 'had ventured to address her without
an introduction! But she drooped her feath-
ers the next moment; the exigencies of the
case left no room forformelities; and besides
the first glance showed the intruder to be a
gentleman and a soldier. She felt she could
trust him, and she looked at him piteously,
and said, in a sobbing voice: ' '
“Oh, Sir, I don’t know what I shall do! I
am fifty miles from home, rind I know no
one in this city. , 'I meant to go on to New
I Yorkin this train, but my pocket-book has
been lost or stolen in the crowd, before-I
could even .buy a ticket!” ,
The gentleman listened with a smile, half
amused, and wholly sympathetic and ed-
miring. ' ‘
- “Is that all that troubles you, my dear
young lady ? . Permit inc—I woald feel so
honored-d don’t think the brutes have got
mine—” and in e twinkling he had thrust
his hand in his pocket and drawn out a big
leathern wallet Hastily tearing it open, he
‘ held it out to the blushing and shrinking girl
who stood ready to sink with shame at- be,-
ing ,thus forced into the role of a pretty beg-
gar-girl.» ' " '
“I would not venture to embarrass you
with carrying such a great, clumsy thing,”
he said, with a fine delicacy which Milly ap-
preciated; but if you would do me the great
honOI'of using some ,of its contents; I beg
you, Madam, don’t humble ml: by refusing
my poor greenbacks.” '
. Poor Milly l how could she refuse ? There
might have been alternatives, but none sug-
gested themselves to'her frightened and be-
wildered mind band it seemed to her that
she had no choice but to accept help from
some one, and who could sugar the pill more
delicately" than this’cbivalrous gentleman
had done ?
So she fibbsd out: .
“Oh, you are too—too kind, Sir! but I-
can’t—indced I can’t—only—I suppose I
Instr-and I contemptuous mesh-
and my mother—” - .
And meanwhile, with averted and droop-
ing head, she put Cut her fingers, half be-
hind her, drew them back, and put them out
again, and finally plunged them into the
capecious pocket-book, and drew out some
notes which she crushed in her little. gloved
hand. Then, 3111" of a sudden, lifting her
head, and arching her throat, she» looked
haughtily at the man who had ventured to
place her under an obligation, and said, in a
stately tone: , .
“You have done me an imIrleasureable
service, Sir, 00-day, and your kindness I can
never repay. Your money, however, I must
be permitted to. Will you—” i
. But just then the locomotive gave a final
iand most appalling shriek, and- seemcd as if
it would , make nothing of galloping over
anus; “.4 ‘ A a as. I r j
forward, and so did her. companion.
“You haven’t a minute to spare, and I am
afraid you have lost any chance of a seat
now,” he said, hastily sv‘vinging _her on tot
the platform, and jumping up after her him-
self. “I wish .I was going on with you, and
could see you safe to your journey’s end,” he
continuedas he made way for her through
the narrow aisle, looking richt and left for a
vacant place. “But it’s ‘5' 1y impossible;
I’ve just arrived from New York on urgent
business, and—oh, here’s a seat ! That's bet-
ter luck than I expected!” '
“You live in New York 1'7 0h,- then, won’t
you‘call at—” ' '
But-the cars were actually in motion now,
and the gentleman had barely time tofiake
a hasty bow and spring from the platform.
Putting her head out of the narrow window,
at the imminent risk of having it chipped off _
Milly saw him standing in the road looking
after the train, and could have cried in her
vexation. o ,
The whole thing had happened in such a
moment of time, and she had been so appall-
ed and bewildered, that she had scarcely
known what she was doing. But now that
she had leisure to think it ever she was fail-e
1y overwhelmed. with mortification. She
had not only accepted the use of a stranger’s
money, but had suffered him to. leave her
without giving his address or learning hers;
and how was she ever.to be relieved of such
an unbearable obligation? If there was only
“any way of finding out his whereabouts!
And then'therc flashed over her mind a
remembrance of. certain advertisements she .
had seen in the city papers sometimes, and
glanced at half amused, half contemptuous.
But only to think of her Appearing 'in the
“Personals i” 'Whet would msmma say?
“One thing .i' certain, however,” she went
on tellerself, “if momma could only have
seen it all she would have been perfectly set-
isficd that he was a gentleman: His whole
way of doing the thing was simply perfect.
Indeed, I don’t know. how I could ever have
allowed it if it ‘hadn't been, though what
Would have become of me I can’t imagine.
Been put off the cor, perhaps, if I had ven-
tured on, and left to freeze to death on the
road.” . - -‘ '
“God bless him, wherever he is i” was her
fervent inward ejaculation; and then pres-
ently her fancy went, of wandering into
‘Vegue sufmlses as to his name his home, and
whether she were really likely to succeed in
her efforts to find him out. “Alter all,” she
thought, with a sudden brightening 'of her
pretty,'_musing thee, “ he might have picked
up the pecketJbook himself; it was probably
knocked from her hand by accident, not in-
tention, and he might have seen it on the
ground. as he walked back to the depot.
Peoplewerc always finding lost things, and
why not he as well as another? Wouldn’t
it be nice if he only had ?” ‘
But then another thought came as sud-
denly to repel this. “No, it wouldn’t be nice
at all, for he’d. open it of course, to seek
some clew to the owner, and then he’d see
his picture ;” and she didn’t want him to do
that—not for the world! ' He’d be sure to.

he was So tall and so distinguished looking,
‘ tleman; and of course he couldn’t know
that the picture had been taken four years
ago, and that the original had been a soldier
ever since, and was a colonel himself! Still
iflu’: only were he! ‘
With such thoughts as these Milly Thorns
beguiled the 'tedium of her onward way; and
meanwhile the train was desiring on at a
furious rate, the short winter’s day was draw-
ling to a close, and here and there through-
out the car heavy-minded individuals, who
had no such inner fund of amusement, over-
come with somuolence, were bumping their
heads up and down upon the backs of the
seats in front ofthein, or in the window cor-
ners; sleepy children were fretting in their
tired mothers’ arms; and one very evident
bride, and another equally evident fiancee.
had coolly converted the shoulders of their.
masculine appanages into cushions, when a
bump considerably harder; than any pre-
ceding one galvanized the passengers into a
sudden sense of life. Every body started
into an erect attitude, and was instantly
knocked out of it again. ' One inquiring in-
dividual went out to learn what had hap-
pened,.and came back with the startling in-
formation that the’ locomotive had run off the
track, and they would have to wait in the
road till another could be brought from
somewhere!
Great as was the universal consternation
and indignation at this announcement, it
perhaps struck such a chill to no heart there
as to Miliccnt Thorne’s. She sank back in
her seat with a feeling of utter despair as she
remembered how she had peristently object-
ed to her mother’s desire to telegraph to her
fliends the éxact time of her arrival. But it
was too late for regrets to be of any avail;
and there was nothing to be done but resign
herself to her fate, and bids the end as per
tiently as might be. Perhaps, after all, it
might not be so very long before the train
would start again. '
coming up from the city Of anew locomo-
tive.
tures, was attending to his business in A1-
bany with a troubled mincd.’ A little inci-
Deiavan House he came upon a man com-
monly dressed and rough-looking, who had
stopped on the corner, and was attentively
examining some small bright object which
he held carefully in his hands. A passing
glance showed this ’ to be a pocket-book, of
small-size, and made of vivid scarlet leather,
tipped and clasped with gold.
The yoaug oficer stopped instantly, and
addressed the man in‘a peremptory tone:
“That is lost property, Sir,” he said, “and
I know the owner. If you will be good
reaches its proper destination.” .
He held out his hand, never imagining
that his demand would be refused; but the .
lucky finder was no soldier, and cared noth-
ing for gilt buttons. - .
“Not so fast, if you please,” he rejoined, in
a free and independent tone. “I’d like sonic-
thin’ mere than your word, .seein’ you’re a
stranger to me. Prove property, pay. ex-
penses, and take possession, is the rule, I
believe.” . , r - »
The officer started haughtily at the man
who presumed to disobey his Commands.
“But I tell you I know the lady who lost
this purse only a few minutes ago,” he said,
impatiently. ' “She has gone on to New
York in this train, and She told rue herself
that she had dropped her. pocket-book in ‘0
crowd, and I promised to take steps f9 s
rccqvery. That promise I intend to keep,
Sir; and if you do not relinquish thaLLutielc"
' , e who will
tomeI shsll’ap 'l" '
e to make you.”
The man’s rough face réddcned as he re-
plied, in a defiant tone : .
“None 0’ your threats here. They ain’t
needed; and what’s more, they won’t be
borne. What I pick up on the public road
is my property till the lawful owner’s found,
to be. If it’s a lady, and you know who she
is, just give ine her address, and I’ll write to
her, and if she can give me a. list of the Con-
tents of this pocket-book I’ll see that she

had lost her pocket-book. Still more impe-

said, “I am so anxious to' be the means of

’el'e fashion ;” and with that he walked cool-

“So,” thought the conquered one, gather-

lately oil—“so, I’ve been taking all {his

claiming what I could prove no right to,’ all
for the sake of a girl who’s got a lover al-

ing’s adventure and its fair heroine at once.
She, meanwhile, did not part with his idea
not of her seat in the dismal car, hour after
hour, while the dark winter’s da'y merged
into still dimmer twilight, and deepened, at
length, into chill and clouded night, -the
thought of that same adventure, and of the
varying speculations as to whgn and where,
if ever, she should meet him again, were her
only relief from the insufferable tedium 0f
the prolonged waiting upon the checrless
rout ' ,
’ 'The weariness of having to listen to the
the worst things Milly had to bear. It was
a, the idea of arriving in New York at
:idnigllt, alone and unexpected, was not i
cry pleasant; still itwas not so bad as it
might be. The depot was but a short dis-
tance from her friend’s house; there were
always plenty of carriages awaiting the ar-
rival of the train; and as this was the even-
ingof Mrs.Bliss’s“fandango,”the house would
not be shut up until after midnight. 'If she
could only once reach the city her troubles
would'be very nearly at an end, she thought.
There seemed at length some prospect of
it. A most Welcome renewal of the jerking
and/rattling hitching presently announced
that the, new engine had arrived, and that
the cars were being lighted; and soot, to
the unspeakable delight of all the chilled,
tired, and sleepy passengers, they were again
going onztheir way rejoicing. The aCcident
had occurred when they were only an hour
or so from the city; and this time seemed to
flit by on wings, compared with the slow-
footed moments of waiting. Almost before
even Milly could have thought itpossible,
at hand; and very soon after they had or-
rived attire depot, and the 'inevitsble and
universal stampede had begun.
Milly, remembering the experience of the
morning, determined to wait till the crash
was over, and sat quietly in her corner,
the haven where she would be. It seemed
an interminable time before the car Was
cleared; the pushing and crashing and rude
eagerness for precedence only created con;
fusion and delay; stout women with im-
mense baskets got‘stuck in- the'narrow aisles—
babics screamed in their mothers’ arms; men
impatient to be at home jostlcdand crowded
and scrambled;—hackmen shouted, porters
swore, and poor little Milly-looked out upon
the Pandemonium, dimlylightcd by red and
flaring lamps, and trembled with fear, and
quivered with impatience to be gone.
When at last the great human tide had
ebbcd somewhat, and‘shewentured out upon
the platform of the depot, instead of being
instantly besieged by a crowd of hackmen,
all begging for the privilege 'of conveying
her to her journey’s end, lo! there was not
one to be seen, nor was there a single car-
riage in waiting; Every one had been ca-
gerly snatched up by. people too tired and
hungry to consider economy; and Milly
‘stood oilt in the keen' night air, ina dismay
almost as she had felt at the first mishap of
the day. I ‘
“If only he could suddenly come to the"
rescue, as promptly and kindly as he had
done then !” she thought, wistfully ;‘ bathe
was, unfortunately, not near enough to be
available, and Milly looked around her in
desperation to see what could be done. Just .
then her eye fihted on the conductor of the
train, hurrying past her, and she rushed afiel-
him, and begged his aid in procuringa car-
“How far are you going, Miss ‘2” he asked,
rather impatiently.
“To Twenty-third Street,” said Milly,
wondering what business of his it was, but
not veturing' on any airs. .
- “Twenty-third Street? Westside? Well
then, Miss, 'I’ll tell you what you’d better
do. 'I really haven’t time to go and look up
a carriagc unless it was 'abéolutely nec‘ess‘ary;
besides, I should think it pleaiiuntcr 'for you
‘to-llave company than to be trusting 'your-
self with One of those hackmen so late at
night. There’s stages .I'lgllt at the corner
will take you' straight to-the very house you
want to go too, and you’ll be in full ‘sight of
the passengers while yowrun across the side-
walk and up the stoop. I've got to go to the
corner myself, and I’ll see you safe in if you
say so, but I can’t wait a minute.”
' “I don’t see, then, that I’ve any choice but
to go with you,” said Milly, a'littlc ungra-
ciously. She did not quite like the idea of
such a demoeratic mode of arrival at her
friend’s elegant mansion, and it would be
very provoking not to have her trunks ill
the morning; but it couldn’t be helped, and,
there, if only she might ever get there at all
’So she thanked the man, and declared lien,
self ready to start. It was but a step to the'
stage, and not fiery many minutes after she
had entered it before it turned into the street
where her friends resided. , Milly kept her
eyes glued to the- window, headless of tbs
many curious glances cast at her by the oc-
cupants of the stage, all of what but her-
self were men, and intent only upon deciph-
ering the names of the avenues and the num-
bers of the houses.
There it was at last—No. 15; and Milly’s
heart gave a quick leap in her breast, and
she jumped up as quickly and gave the strap
a vehement jerk. The next moment she
was out of the stage, across the sidewalk,
and up on the high stone stoop, pulling with
nervous haste at the handle of the bell.
Its loud, silvery call peeled through the
house; Milly could hear it distinctly outside
and drew a long breath of relief to think
that she was sonear the end of her troubles;
but one minute, and another, each as long
as hours to the belated, tired, and frightened
traveler, clasped, and still no hasty step sp-I
proached the door, and still it remained in-
hospitably closed. Milly pulled the bell
again, and yet again; she could hear its
sound plainly enough, and wondered how it
could be' possible that it was not heard with-
in. Certainly the house could not be entire-
ly deserted; the family, she knew, were out,
but where were the servants, and why did
they not Come ?
Ah! that, no one could answer; but cer-
tain it was that they did not come; and
Milly’s heart grew chill with a horrible de-
spair. This was the worst that had befallen
her yet, for it Was midnight, and she was
quite alone. She absolutely did not knOw
what to' do, and so she sank down on the
stone steps, hungry and tired and cold and
frightened, and cried bitterly in her desola-
tion and despair. .- '
