Rapids train. He seemed to fear he
could not, ~ we were already three
hours late and rapidly falling farther
back into the early fall. However, he
said that all would be well.
1t is very trying to sit and suffer that
way, knowing that there has been an
advance sale Of -, with the chances of a
door sale running it up TO I'll or $11.50,
and that bitter disappointment is likely
to fall upon people who have come from
. distance-''our best people" too.
When we got to Grand Rapids an or

to me and showed him my pass. l
watched the rest Of the poor, unknown
passengers to see how 1t would strike
them. poor people, common working peo-

the woodbox.
The conductor looked me over 90 that
he would know me next time, and then
he said: This pass is only good on the
Short Line. It's no good on this train.
/ paid him the money that l was go
