So, by way of securing a change of air and scene, and diverting her mind from the folly of Jior couduot, Mrs. Briokott oonoluded to go out West, and. visit an old schoolmate who had married and settled there. “ Perhaps, if I like Kansas, I shall stay there, ” said she, to herself, ^ “ It don ’ t matter very much whether I live in olio place or another, nowa days. ” It was, a long, tedious journey — ee- pooittlly so to Mrs. Briokott, who was not an accomplished traveler. * The evening of ' the second day closed iu wot and windy, as they came steaming* steadily along on the edge of an aimoflf lhTeTmiiiahlo' prairie- They had stopped for supper at an insignificant little town whore they changed conductors, and, as Mrs. Brickett leaned back in her corner, with a veil over her face and a cam phor-bottle at her hose, she could see the-stalwart /figure of the new con ductor gnthojrfug up'the tickets right and loft. ‘ ........... \ “Just such a man as ^riokett used to be, ” thought the poor, solitary wife. “ Dear, dear !
