"Certainly,n said the other. "You have
only to ring for him." and he nodded to
wards the bell line that ran above their
heads.
No sooner said than done. Before any
one could prevent it Rustic had seized the
line and gave it tremendous tug. The
consequences were at once Obvious; three
shrill whistle were heard, half dozen
brakemen ran to their posts, and the train
came to a stand still with suddenness
that startled half the passengers with as
tonishment, and caused every man next a
window to hoist it and look out to see what
was the matter.
! In a few minutes the conductor, red and
excited came fcaming into the car to know
who pulled tha. bell rope.
| "Here, mister" this way: I'm the man,
shouted the offender, drawing all eyes upor
him. You said the ccndctor, "Wha

"COs | wanted some water"

The laughter that greeted this homes
