A SILENT WITNESS.
The Old Man Tells a Story About q Missing
Car Porter.

Il missing
Car Porter.
From the Detroit Free Press
The drummer had just finished one Of his
unequaled stories, and a gray-haired man in
the smoking compartment with him looked up
sufficiently urged.
go ahead with yours" suggested one Of
those sympathetic kind of men who know things
intuitively
at isn't much" said the gr.y-haired man
modestly.
That's what the boy said when he was look
ing for the definition Of the word 'paucity.'
But that's all right. Give us the story" re-
Piled the intuitlve person.
''Well," said the man, Strengthening up,
some years ago. when IN q certain section
OF the west the sleeping car was yet novelty,
they had white man on one OF our roads for q
porter. He was a mean fellow and had way
OF domineering around that wasn't pleasant
He was a coward, though, and was afraid Of a
man that met him face to face. One night
got on at the town where lived and this porter
was uglier than usual, ugly in fact that
pulled gun on him. and at the muZZle Of it
chased him up and down and kicked him from
one end Of the car to the other. There were
eight or ten passengers in the car with me, and
by midnight. when the porter was about half
drunk and we were ready to 60 to bed, they ad-
vised me to watch him, as he would probably
try to get even by some underhand method. I
laughed it off and said wasn't afraid, but just
the same while the porter was doing in Q seat
In the corner fixed up q dummy to take my
lower berth and got into a vacant upper on
the other side OF the car. The next morning
about o'clock l was aroused by some one call
ing for the porter, but no porter answered
Hes dead drunk out there in tho smoker,
l said, sticking my head through the cur
talns
az guess I'll go and see,' said the inquirer,
and got up. too.
Eve found two or three Of our party ahead
Of us.
Hello said one to me- did you have any
trouble with the porter in the night2'
"'Of course not said, where is hep
"'Don't know; thought maybe you had
thrown him off the car
But l hadn't. and then we began to look
for him. and the conductor appeared and he
couldn't tell US anything, either. Then an idea
occurred to me.
"'Wait q minute 1 said. and l went back to
the berth the porter had made down for me,
and throwing open the curtains. found my
dummy covered up comfortably just as l had
left it, but driven clear through it. right where
the heart ought to be- q knife at least
twelve inches long in the blade.
Then L called in the crowd
There l said. do you see the hilt Of that
knife? I'll give $500 to know where the porter
is.
g crowd stood aghast for a minute, but
nobody claimed the $780, and that porter was
never heard Of again."

Poison From Apples.

From the Troy Times.
Attention is called to the fact that apples
stored in cellars or elsewhere are invariably
covered with mold mildew-often invisible,
but lust as real This mold consists mostly OF
microscopic plants, including numerous species
of fungi. all of which are more or less poison
Gus. PHYSICIANS say they have traced cases OF
diphtheria in children to the use OF moldy
apples. Mothers are in the habit Of giving
little children apples to play with and the
babies try to eat them. In such cases the
mold should be carefully removed from the
apples.
