Where is that woman who is to leave the train.” Thè traveling man answered, “I . thought 'we stopped at that station thirty minutes ago and I told her to get off.” The brakeman said, “We didn’t stop at any station thirty minutes ago. Something was wrong with the engine and we stopped to fix it.

A travel ing man, sitting behind her, calmed her fears with the statement that he was going far beyond her station and that he would tell her when to leave the train. The engine began to lose power. The train was late. After a long tiresome journey they came to the station preceding the one at which she desired to leave the train. The traveling man said, “The, next stop is your station. I think it would be better for you to get your wraps and bundles ready for they will only stop a little while.” So she got ready. The train travelled along pos sibly forty minutes when it came to a standstill. No station had been called but the traveling man said, “This is your sta tion, madam.” She hurriedly, left the train.
