his way on a train, but one arrived at the
Northern Pacific depot q few days ago who had

deau. the ticket agent, took him in, aud has
since in the goodness Of his heart sheltered and
fed him. This tramp until recently had . JOB
in the Southern yards at San Francisco, but the
perqu.sities were scanty for his fastidious taste,

an employe OF the railroad. he considered that
he was entitled TO q pass. but, fearing that some

unused to such kindness ia this cruel world,
rubbed his head on the vest OF the man OF the
adamant heart ana pr-rcd gratefully. For the
tramp was a cat which had been employed to
catch mice la the yards, but like a railroad en-
giueer he had worked himself out OF q job by
his industry so no had struck out for some ether
place where there were more mice. Now he IL
