The Last Station.

He had becn sick at one of tho
hotels for three or four woeks, and
tho boys on tho road had dropped 10
daily to how he got along, AMI to
learn if they could render him any
kindness. The brakeman was good
fellow, and one and all encouraged
him in the hope that he would pull
through. The doctor didn't regard
tho case as dangerous, but tho other
day the patient began sinking, and
it was seen that he could not live
che night out. A dozen of his
friends sat in the room when night
oame, but his mind wandered and
he did not recognize them.
1t was near one Of the depots, and,
after the great trucks and noisy
drays had oeased rolling by, tho
bells and the short, sharp Whistles of
the yard enginea sounded painfully
loud. The patient had been Very
quiet for half an hour, when ho
suddenly unolosed his eyes and
shouted
"Kala.a.ma zoo ~
One Of the men brushed the hair
back from his cold forehead, and tho
brakeman olosod his eyes and was
quiet for time. Then tho wind
whirled around the depot, banged
the blinds on tho window of bis room,
and he lifted his hand and or,ed
out:
"Jack.aon Passengers going
north by the Saginaw road change

The men understood. The brake.
man thought ho was coming east on
the Michigan Central. The effort
seemed to have greatly exhausted him,
for he was like. one dead for the next
five minutes, and q watcher felt his
pulse to see II life had not gone out.
A tug going down the river sounded
her whistle long and loud, and the
dying brake opened his eyes and
called out:
"Ann Arbor |"
He had been over tho road q thou
sand timee, but had made his laet
trip. Death was drawing q special
train over the old track, and he was
brakeman, conductor and engineer.
One Of the yard engines uttered q
shrill whistle Of warning, az If tho
glare of the headlight had shown to
tho engineer some stranger IN peril,
and tho brakeman called out:

"He's coming In faat,' whispered
one Of the men.
"And tho end Of his srun' will be

The dampnoss of death began to

there was that ghastly look on che

slamming of door down tie hall
startled him again, aud he moved his
head and family called.
