The speed of the train slackened; a broad tidal river flashed in- to sight below the trestle, spreading away on either hand through yellowing level meadows. And now, above the roaring undertone of the cars, from far ahead floated back the treble bell-notes of the locomotive; there came a gritting vibration of brakes; slowly, more slowly the cars glided to a creaking stand- still beside a sun-scorched platform gay with the bright flutter of sunshades and summer gowns.
"Shotover! Shotover!" rang the far cry along the cars; and an absent- minded young man in the Pullman pocketed the uncut magazine he had been dreaming over and, picking up gun case and valise, followed a line of fellow-passengers to the open air, where one by one they were engulfed and lost to view amid the gay confusion on the platform.
