attle-snakes--won't you-all stop that car?"
His yearning was pitiful but the car cared naught.

"Here, here, Jeb! what is the matter with you-all?" called Mr.
Brewster, just as Jeb took a long breath and planned to sprint after the
train.

"It's a good-by letter a friend left with me for Polly, Mr. Brewster,
an' now Ah done gone and clean forgot it!" wailed Jeb.

"Too late now, Jeb. We'll change the address and send it on to her New
York hotel. It will reach her almost as soon as she gets there,"
explained Mrs. Brewster.

"Yeh! Wall now, Ah wouldn't have believed that." So Jeb placed the
letter that Polly never received in his coat pocket and lost it that
same evening in the excitement of catching the local out of Denver.

Consequently, when the New York train pulled slowly out of the Denver
Terminal, with Polly and her companions on board trying to get a last
look of dear ones left on the platform of the station, the only glimpse
to be had of Mr. and Mrs. Brewster was their squirming desperately, now
this side, now that, of Sary's ponderous form. And Sary, who had planted
her bulk unexpectedly in front of them, held her arm high above her
head, and slowly waved her hand in farewell back and forth in the rays
of the sun. But her gaze was not following the moving train. Instead it
was riveted, like a bird hypnotized by a serpent, upon a 10 carat
rhinestone engagement ring that sparkled from the _index_ finger of her
red right hand.

The last coach of the train vanished and the two Brewsters sighed. Then
they saw Sary still waving her hand, oblivious of all else about her.
Jeb stood gaping at her queer actions wondering if she might be "off in
her head." But the smile on his master's face reassured him. As Mrs.
Brewster murmured, "Sary, that's all!" the proud possessor of the ring
came to earth again.

But it was _not_ all! Because "Polly and Eleanor in New York" had so
many interesting experiences in this great city that it will take
another book to tell about them.
