actually slept away that wonderful night on the railroad! When he

curtains, nothing had been further from his ht and watch the la in the

aisle, to crane his neck over the top of the curtains and look out of

the sedat the sine, and at theover

the all these wonders that he and Dr Lavendar had talked about for the last feeeks, no sooner had he been lifted into his berth than, in a flash,

the darkness changed to bright daylight Yes; the dull, coht affair of sleep, had interfered with all his plans He did not

speak of his disappoint, as he dressed--so little enclosure where the washstands were;

but he thought about it, resentfully Sleep! "When I'm a man, I'll

never sleep," he assured himself; then cheered up as he realized that

absence froht at least one opportunity of manhood--he

would not have to wash behind his ears! But he brooded over his

helplessness to make up for that other loss He was so silent at

breakfast in the station that Dr Lavendar thought he did not like his

food
