and he knew the weaknesses OF the craft.
He would watch the train sheets, and if q
crew reported delays at q certain point on
about every run he would so down thers
quietly and keep an eye out for them be
took one of these trips on one occasion,
and supposed his movements were IN

for he went secretly as sn ordinary pas

until after dark
But 10 use the slang Of the men, they
were on TO him He secreted himself ON
gondolA loaded with car wheels, and
thought that he was unobserved until a
brakeman, pretending 10 take him for a
tramp, came along aud kicked him most
mercilessly. At every blow Of the foot he
accumulated the action with some orna-
mental profanity very painful TO hear.
Mr.. Tallmage did not reveal his identity,
but limped away, and he found out that
the brakeman who had so mRltreated him
was really a valuable man, and not respon-
sible for the delay.
After the kicking the brakeman went
back TO the caboose and said 10 his con-
duc:or: We'll, fixed the old man. 1
suppose I'll get my envelope at the end OF
the run. It's all right. though. This

Two days later the brakeman was sum-
moned TO the general managers Office He
shook hands with the boss, babe him
good-by, pushed his cap over his left ear
defantly and walked away 10 the slau Oh
ter.
Mr.. Tallmage asked him how long he
had been braking, questioned him about
various matters pertaining TO handling
trains, and then fairly knocked him silly
by informing him that he should report 10
the trainmaster, who would give him po-
sition as conductor
"By the way" said Mr.. Tallmage, rs the
astonished man was leaving the Office
'are you bothered with tramps on your

The brakeman blushed a little, then
summoned all his stolidity and said: Eyes,

The ISLAND OF ANEGADA.
Place Noted for Its Steaming Fogs
AMI Fresh Water foundations

The island of Anegads is one Of the
strangest Of all the strange places in the
world l. lies near the northeastern angle
OF the main chain of the West Indies. and
differs from ali the other islands near il in
being fat and low. the neighboring isles
al being steep and mountainous. Ii is
nine miles long and two miles across. and
lies so low that in heavy gales the sea
makes a clean breach over the lower por-
tons Of II, whence jts name. for anegady
Is the Spanish for drowned island" In
1851 II had 7l9 inhabitants. of whom only
three We're white people
Is population Is noted for idleneSs. and
the main occupation for many years was
wrecking-for an extensive and very dan
gerous coral reef surrounds the island aud
once gave II very melancholy notoriety.
But since the establishment Of the light
house on the island Of Sombrero FORTY
sew miles To the eastward there have
been few IL any, wrecks on Anegada, since
the main cause Of the shipwrecks was the
constant and swift current which sets upon
the island from the east Accordingly. the
natives are now not often aroused by the
cry Of "a vessel on the reef. " the only call
Ia the old days which would arouse them
from their almost perpetual inactivity. In
fact they are about the LATEST people in
the West Indies, although that is saying a
great deal
Anegsda used TO be covered with under
wood-notably OF the kind called seaside
grape, which here is particularly rich in
the valuable gum called Jamaica kino.
