Bryan, brother of Secretary of State William J. llrynn, told of an incident along that line. One afternoon two pretty girls rambled up to the platform of a country railroad station. Evidently, from their dress und manner, one of the fairies was going to take the train and the other had come to see her off. . Eventually tlie train steamed Into the little station, but the traveller seemed ln no great hurry to got aboard. With walcli in band tlie conductor waited. Finally, he looked toward tho fair passenger impatiently. "Madam," said be, with another glance at hiB watch, "If you are going on this train you must get aboard." "Just a minute," returned the passenger, with a ilustered expression. I must give my sister a kiss." "Get aboard, mis_,'' obligingly responded the conductor, "I will attend to that."
