FRANCES.
By CARL WILLIAMS.

Literary Press.
"Miss Pollard! This U a surprise in
deed! I supposed tlmt you were out
west."
' Christopher firooks, boarding the fast
train In Philadelphia, motioned to the
porter to plaeo his suit ease In the sec
tion occupied by Trances Pollard and
sank Into the seat beside her In re
sponse to the mute Invitation In her
eyes.
"1 am to visit old school friends,"
explained the girl. "It Is my first visit
to New York."
"And you never let me know that
you were coming!" Chris* tones were
laden with reproach.
"How could I?" defended the girl.
"In spite of the .'act that you did not
answer my last letter, I wrote you that
I was coming east and that I should
be glad to have you meet me at the sta
tion In Chicago and visit between
trains."
"Chicago!" echoed Chris. "I went to
Now York six months ago. I wrote
"X'VK FOr.V'L) \OV TWICE INSIDE OF TWO
H0UKS."
you of the change, and as you did not
reply I supposed thnt you were lost lu
the social whirl aud did not care to
waste time in writing when I was so
far away."
"You should have knowu me better
than that." The words were simple,
but the look accompanying them was
eloquent. It seemed to tell Chris thnt
only through faint heartednesa had he
failed to win his fair lady aud that
there still might be a chance.
"It seems to be a muddle all around,"
he said. "The tlrm were rather augry
at my going, though I gave them two
weeks' notice, and they knew that I
was bettering myself."
"The chances are that they did uot
forward your letter to me and did uot
mall my letter to you. I remember
that I dropped It luto the cfflce mull
box. The cashier was a petty sort of
person. This may hnvo been one of
his revenges."
Tho many changes which had come
to both since their parting furnished a
theme for conversation, and tho train
was pulling into the terminal at Jersey
City before It was exhausted.
Exultlngly Chris felt thnt the misun
derstanding was all cleared up, and he
told himself that it would uot be his
fault If Frances did not return home
an engaged girl.
"Will your friends be here to meet
you?" lie asked as the porter took their
hand bags.
"1 told theiu uot to bother," explain
ed Frances. "Bessie's mother Is an lu
valid, aud Rests wtrtks downtown some
where. I'll Just take a cab to the
house. It's uptown. The address Is in
my grip. I always carry everything
In my grip. Then I have only one thing
to watch lustead of a valise and a
purse aud perhaps a couple of bun
dles."
"That's a sensible thing," cried Chris
admiringly. "Only you mustn't lose
your valise."
"I should say not," agreed Frances
laughingly. "I should find myself with
out money nnd, worse yet, without
even Hess' address, since she had to
move last week because their old house
was torn down."
"I'll look out for tho vnllso," prom
ised Chris as be helped her down the
steps of the Pullman. "Better walk be
hind me and let me force the way. I'm
more used to Now York crowds," ho
explained, with the prldo of a now resi
dent.
Now, at Jersey City the concourse
opens on three ferry slips, all lendl *
to various pnrts of Manhattan. Chris
headed for the downtown ferry, which
would bring them near the subway,
and not until tho boat was reached did
he turn to sec if tho girl was still fol
lowing.
The gates were closed behind him
and the boat was slowly passing out of
the slip when he mad^ the discovery
that Frances had not rollowed his in
structions.
She was not lu the tall of the crowd
that had been hurried aboard by Impa
tient gatemeu, nor did a careful search
of the boat reveal lier, nnd Chris' hope
that she might have been swept aboard
by the other gangway was dushed.
He made the return trip on the same
boat, railing at the delny. aud aftor a
hurrlod scrutiny of the concourse
rifled that she must have taken the
j upper ferry to Twenty-third street.
A lx>nt w?h about to start, and lie
rushed ou board, the persplratlou
streaming from his face. He still car
ried Frances' valise aud his own heavy
suit case. Frances could not leave any
ferry house without the valise, for It
contained her money and her friend's
address. She could not apply to the
old address to find out where her
hostess had moved, because the house
had been torn down. She must wait
for him. -
He dashed through the exit and
through the waiting room, searching
both lloors, but there was no trace of
the girl. He was about to go to the
itreet and question the carriage agent
when the doorman, who had watched
his actions curiously, came up.
"Are you the chap that lost a lady?"
ho demanded. "If you are, I told her
to go back to the Jersey side and wait
for you. She followed u man she
thought was you and got on the wrong
boat."
Chris pressed a coin Into the man's
hand and sprinted down the sllp-Juat
as the boat was pulling out. Ho bare
ly managed to leap aboard before the
gates were closed, aud he stood on the
forward deck to cool off.
When the boat should make the Jer
sey shore this worry would bo at an
end. So he regarded the panorama of
river life complacently.
He was the first passenger off the
boat and out on to the concourse, but
neither on the concourse uor In the
waiting room could he find her, though
he searched both. She must have
boarded the Cortlaudt street ferry, so
for a second time he made for tho slip,
catching the same boat that had car
ried him across before. One of the
deck hands regarded him curiously as
ho passed.
"Ain't you the fellow what paid his
faro to me to stay on the boat a couplo
of trips ago?" ho demanded.
Chris nodded, and the man grinned.
"I thought you was," ho continued.
"There was a lady down here looking
for you this last trip. L remembered
you went right back, uud I sent her on
to Twenty-third street. She didn't
have the price of her fare," he added
meaningly, and again the grateful
Chris passed out a coin.
"Funny you didn't see her," mused
the man as he slipped the money Into
his pocket. "Sho was on the boat
when we landed. I told her to take a
look around and then make for tho
Twenty-third street slip.
"I was looking in the waiting room
for her." explained Chris. "I guess
It'll b? o!l right now."
But things were far from all right.
When Chris leaped from tho boat at
the uptown landing, the doorman who
had spoken to him before laughed
loudly as he caught sight of the pant
ing and perspiring traveler.
"I told you to wait on the Jersey
side," he cried. "The girl came back,
and I told her you were down there
waiting. The man on one of the Cort
landt street boats sent her up here
while 1 was sending you back. I told
her to sit there tu the shed this time
for an hour and I'd find you some
how. Belter stay ou this boat. The
fare's 3 cents. You owe a ticket for
her too. She didn't have any money."
Chris passed over a dollar. "Keep
tho change; it's worth it," he said, and
he went back on the boat.
Fifteen minutes later the crowd
surged off the boat In a rush for the
trains, and Chris went with the tide of
humanity until it separated toward the
various gates.
As ho turned to search the seats a
pair of soft arms went about his neck,
aud he looked down Into Frances'
crimson face.
"I didn't mean to do that," sho cried,
"but I was so afraid I'd lose you again
if I didn't grab right hold of you."
"I like it," declared Chris. "I thought
I never should find you."
"That's the way It seemed to me,"
she confessed. "I never was so glad to
sec any one In my life. A fat woman
came In between us, and when I look
ed around to find you there wero two
men who looked so like you that I
wasn't certain which was really you.
They were both going toward the up
town boat, and I followed them."
Chris transferred the valise to the
hand that carried his suit case, and
with the other lie grasped her arm.
"I'm not going to lose you this time,"
he announced. "I don't want ever to
lose you again, Fanny, May I keep
you? always?"
What ho saw In her eyes caused him
to lean over and kiss her.
"Everybody kisses everybody else at
the railroad station," he explained as
he led the way to the boat. "And they
haven't half my excuse. I've found
you twice Inside of two hours."
Tho Old Time SHawl.
The shawl was originally not a wo
man's garment exclusively, for the
Scotch hlghlunder has his tartan plaid,
and the men of northern Italy still
wear a cloak which Is very little more
than a shawl. There can be no ques
tion that the shawl Is more useful and
more picturesque as nn article of attire
than the close fitting coats both men
and- women now wear. The shawl
could" In case of emergency be used to
protect two persons or to wrap a child
In or as an extra bed covering. Its
fashion did not change every three
months, and It could be used and
passed down In the family until It was
worn out. Nowadays tho only time
when such artlelos are used Is when
people are making an ocean trip or
traveling In Europe. "Traveling rugs,"
which are nothing moro or less than
men's heavy shawls, are extremely
English, and for travelers they are
considered very proper and desirable,
but outside of a steamer, train or car
riage no one who cares for what peo
ple will say would be seen with one.?
