The Evening News Of yesterday tells the
following story!
Completely E6ld---As the Chronicle train
was on lie downward trip tothis city yeste.-
day morning. an incident occurred that
caused no little amusement to the passengers.
As the train was approaching eight mile sta
ton, lady quite elegantly attifed, with .
lovely boquet of wild flowers In hand, and face
concealed from view by a handsome veil. was
discovered standing on the platform. The
train was ordered TO stop, of course, to take
in their fair passenger-and stop il did. The
gallant commander Immediately jumped out
upon the platform, cried ont as usual, ,.all

and politely extending his hand 20 help the
lady aboard. She, however, did not fecog-
nize his gallantry, bui stood dumb and mo-
tionlrss as statue. The astonished conduc-

and beauty. the words "Apr Fool" inscrib-
ed on black "light wood chunk" met his
astonished vision! He started back. gave
the signal to he off with unusual violence,
jumred aboard, exclaiming to the innocent
engineer in a stentorian voice, "who the
told you to stop here J"
The sequel to the story was richer than
the foregoing. When the Mississippi train
came along a few hours later, The conductor
observed female figure standing in the mid
die Of the track, apparently going towRrd
the city. The train was on descending
grade, consisted Of eight ears pretty well
loaded, and was going with considerable
speed. Conscious Of al! this. the conductor.
