his head on his arm on his desk. Thur
man stopped to blow his nose, and il is
one of bis personal peculiarities that n

Davis who in early lite was a BAlti-
more and Ohio brakeman, aud who,
as he opened his eyes, caught sight of
Thurman's red bandanna waving in
the air. In his halt dszed condition
he coupled the sound and the ban
danna into railroad danger signal,
and grabbing his desk he attempted to
twist il around like an old fashioned
brake before he remembered where he
was and began TO laugh al his delu
sion."
