who recently moved to Ocean street, Deer

who suggested that as ne wanted 10 take the
train at Woodfords, he would find IL nearer
and more convenient to cut across lots TO the
depot. Acting on the suggestion he turned
from the highway into a field and hastened
on. He travelled rapidly for some time. and
not coming to the railroad track he began to
fear he was lost The air was so full Of
snow he could not see far In advance Of him.
He wandered about In the wilderness that Is
bounded on three sides by Oak stree, Ocean
street and the railroad until quite disheart-
ened, but just as he was about to give up he
came TO fence, climbed over and found
himself in front Of the Woodfords depot.
He arrived at the shop In time to eat dinner
with the workmen who joke to this day
about their engineer being lost In field at
Woodfords.
