' His wife, 1 a great woman, was with him, and they took seats in the or dinary coach. Pretty soon he came back, sclected a berth a single upner and then went back to his wife. Pretty soon h,e. returned and went to bed alone. About fin hour after thi4 I was going through the train when the lat woman stor me and wanted .tot 'know if I had empty berths. I ! told her there were filenty of them, when .she brought her ips together like at vise ami clenched her hands as-she said: j .' I thought as much. ' llere, take in v. bag with you; and make up the best section you have. I'll be back as soon as the train stops again.' You see that selfish cuss of a husband of hers had told her there wasn't an empty berth left, but he had found a chance to share a bunk with an acquaintance, lie. was the maddest man you ever saw next morning, when he had to hand over tiyc dollars for her night's rest, in acl Jition to the $2.. ha had paid for his own.
