An Arizona Conductor Who OBJ
Jected TO a Passengers Tie.

Inc rev. DR.. F. w. Gunsaalus had an in

eehtleman,s f0ndnesS for vivid color, sent
DE- Gunsaulns bright red necktie There
IS no other red necktie in the world quite as
ieu as a British red necktip; 1t is the con-
summation, the apotheoss of rslness.
Wnen Dr. Gunsaulus clapped his eyes on
'iie Ied neektie he was daZZ ad-uay. he was
stunhed-by its terrific splendor. As nnickIy

1t is true that DR.. Gunsaul,is had ~, acres
OF wheat out III Arizona that needed looking
aiter, but IL Is more than likely flat an am
oltion TO wear that new, sp' aadid red neck
Tie inspired IN DIR. Gunsau as z eeaseless
yearning to 60 West. AT any rate no went,
accompanied by his sen, a little fellow Of 10
or II years of age.

uecKed IN that array which he affects when
inspecting wheat or hunting rare biblia-
maniac hnds in Arizona We viii say that
this costume is strange t, the degree Of
Welroness. Its most conspicuous .aiure is
u uIack Ielt hat with an enormous flexible
bIlm. An especial flavor of spiee-of wick

looked very like one of those lar Western
characters OF which Bret Hafte loves to
treat.
Now it happened that DR.. Gunsanlns tray
eled on free pass-a free pass obtained.
through the kindly offices of one of the in
tiuentlal lambs of his flock. This free pass
was made continuous all the way from CHI
cago to Arizona and back again. 1t fell
clearly within the lines OF the Interstate
commerce Act, for it was made out to the
account OF (and was to be paid in) adyeftis-
Ing,
= This free pass worked ali right until DR..
Gunsaulus struck the Santa Re country. Ii
was then that coarse, unfaeling, ope-eyed
conductor came through tine train collecting
tickets at the point of a murderous-lookiug
horse pistol. He had been Sheriff Of 1
county in New Mexico, and was rhing #

Dr. Gunsaulus mildly produced his fres
pass. The conductor read tue free pass
Inc nnhallowed fire of skeptcism illumiued

Watts yer name ?" asked the conductor.
THE Rev. T. w. Gunsaulus,2 answered
the holy man.
The conductor took as RAPID a view Of Dr.
Gnnsaulus as his one eye would admit II.
NO, yer don'tP' exclaimed the conductor,
6rntally. Yer don't play THAT game On me!
Yer no preacher"
Indeed l am. and very coed preacher,
too" demonstrated DR.. Gunsauius.

Wien see him. Yer'll have to put up ger
good money or get oif'n the train"
There seemed 10 be no alternative. Dr.
GnnsauluS looked out of the car window il
would never do for him to be set down in
that desert of cactuSeS and DrEIrie dogs lis
sought to reason with the Conductor; every
gilt, every power, every artifce Of elnquencs
at his command he brought TO bear upon the
callOus creature, but all il vain. Ia vain
aid the reverend gentlemans fittls bow
plaintively but stoutly maintain that papa
was minister" the unregeBeraje heat Of
that conductor was not to b. moved
NO dominic ever wore q urektie like
that" said the conductor. "XerH have TO
put up the stuff or git of'n the train"
DR.. Gunsaulus did put up, but not until ne
had secured receipt therefor from tine one
eyed skeptlc. The next three hours were
hours OF misery, for not even 81 lnng-suf-
fering and so patient clergyman as Dr.
GunsauluS cares 10 be separated from bis
worldly possessions by the unfeeiing agent
OF Soulless railway corporation. But
about hundred miles further down the
read the Mayor of Santa 70 boarded the
train, and he was happily aDle e. identity
DR.. Gunsaulus as being indeed entitled to
all the perquisites and courtesies Involved
in and entalied by that free pass. SO The
one-eyed conductor dsgorged tha money
and made an apology as best he could.
