( introduced me To the president and the super
intendents. They were prominent men from
Atlanta Any other time I'd have been glad
90 meet them, but didn't Just enjoy 10 then.
| They wanted % know all about our road,
and they asked the most ortlandish questions
about things didn't know anything about
had to make up facts and figures as l went
! along. but ! wasn't going 20 let them think
the north was running behind, so | generally
put them high.
The president asked il we'd built any new
road this year.
"Ah. yes" says l.
How many miles have you built r says he
| hAdn's the faintest idea, but l said:
About 3, 900 miles"
"I want 10 know" says he. and they al
looked pretty well laid out at that.
After a wh1e the president asked:
'.Bstwsen what points did you build this

Between Kalamazoo and Schoolcraft, I"
aysL
remembered, as soon as I'd said it, that
.hose places weren't more than twelve miles
apart. But bad to think quick, and gave
the first names that came into my head.
They were just getting out map to look
up the route when in comes the peanut boy
and says:
lis Mr. Wells in here, Cause II he is
there's man IN the other car wants To see
him right away
Iwsnt back and found Parks reading q
paper. lie showed the paper into my hands
and said:

looked at Parks and Parks looked at ma
What does it meanT' gasped l.
"It means that we've got TO get out Of this
mighty quick, says he
We got out OF that
We shot OF the train at the west station,
Just as the real presidents gray hat was seen
coming through the car door.
Twas q little place called Dusenberry
Corners We hung around for couple OF
hours till the inhabitants began to take nj
for suspicious characters So We made out
that NE were going TO start . real estate
boom, and then they took Us iu a carrings
and drove rs all over the village. We a.
well as bargainsd for hal; the corner lots IL
the place.
AZ last a freight train came along, and W,
got on and went back TO Atlanta
We were dumbfounded that Hayward and
Wells should cut such a caper Parks said
!
back But he said
"It shows that you can't trust anybody
nowadaySn
We struck oct for home after that, and yor
can bet we paid our fare the rest of the way
We bought a couple Of nav hats IN Atlants
80 that We should not be recognized by any
body that met "a going down. And w
packed Hayward's valise in box and sen
u hone BY express, for fear il should b.

But. would you believe it. the first persor
ma met when We got home was Giles Hay
