A LOVE AND MYSTERY STORY

ball? Did he want to hold the ball? Did he want to hold
the ball? If he brought off the catch, he would be' ex
pected to play at Lord’s. If he muffed it, he would be
relegated to the comfortable, unglorious village pitch. Did
he want.
Napoleon entered into him, with all his courage and
resource.
“Same,” mumbled Brown.
And this time the ticket clerk did raise his eyebrows
a little.
“We-re all together,” explained Brown, unneces
sarily. “We go Dutch.”
The ticket clerk frowned slightly. Was it legal to
refuse to issue a ticket unless the passenger named the
station? For a moment Brown trembled. Then the bless
ed little piece of pasteboard appeared, and he breathed
again.
He took the ticket with the feeling that as a man he
had failed, but as a sleuth hound he had succeeded. Then
he looked at the price on the ticket.
Nine dollars twenty-five cents,” came the voice of the
ticket clerk.
Brown knew it. He was gulping. “Byford Moor”
meant nothing to him, but nine dollars and twenty-five
cents meant a great deal. It meant Monday’s work, and
Tuesday’s work, and Wednesday’s work, and a bit of
Thursday’s work. And, to get back again, would mean
.... Whew!
“Nine dollars twenty-five cents,” repeated the ticket
clerk, sharply. “And you’ll miss your train if you don’t
step lively.”
“Yes, and we’ll miss ours!” cried the man behind him.
“Ah!” gasped Brown, diving spasdomically into his
pocket.
His practiced fingers opened the neat little envelope
there. No gentleman can bring out the envelope in which
he receives his wages. He drew out the notes. Ihere were
three. He passed two over.
Seventy-five cents came back to him. Someone shoved
him forward, and he dropped one of the pennies. He div
ed after it frantically. Every penny was untold gold now,
and might mean the difference between a beautiful girl’s
life and her extinction. He heard himself asking a porter
for the platform for Byford Moor.
“No. 3,” replied the porter, happening to know.
“Change at Newcastle.”
He was really a very bright porter.
Brown ran on. He was dogged by a terrible fear that
he would board the train without knowing definitely that
the attractive girl and the small men were also on it. If
only he could find the girl, cause her to miss it while the
small man caught it, and then get his money back! But;
Fate had got him too firmly by the scruff of the neck for
that.
Fate gave him a square deal, however. It provided a
glimpse of the girl walking up the platform, and of ^ the
small man following her at a respectable distance. When
the girl stepped into a third-class compartment, and the
man wandered up to the same compartmene an dentered
it a few seconds later, Brown realized taht although he
might be embarking on a hazardous errand, it would not
a fool’s errand.
The guard blew his whistle.
“Good Lord!” gasped Brown.
He boarded the train as it was moving.

SHOCK OF COLD WATER
RESTORES MAN’S SIGHT
PARIS—A singular story of a
blind man's recovery of his sight
through the shock of a cold douche
on his head is reported from
Amiens. In 1927 Juan Lado, Spann
iard, was accidentally blinded, and
an operation performed upon his
eyes proved unsuccesful. Since this
misfortune befell him he had
gained a precarious living by ped
dling. Last Friday afternoon he
visited a hairdresser to have a hair
cut and shampoo. When at the end
of the shampoo he plunged his head i
under a cold water tap he felt sud- ’
den pains in his eyes, but then taj
his amazement saw his face re4
fleeted in the basin. It is believed
that the shock restored his vision. \
