A gentleman living at South Kensington
was travelling with his son from Gloucester
road to Mark lane on the underground
railway Arrived at his destination, the
young man in opening the carriage door
dropped from his finger II valuable ring,
which fell between the carriage and the
platform. The station inspector, who hap
pened to be standing near, said: "All right,
sir; | saw it fall. Wait till the train is
gone, and I'll get it for you" And directly
the train moved out he duly jumped down
on to the line, but no ring could be found.
The gentleman waited some time and then
went home.
An hour or so afterward the son went
again to the railway station to inquire il
the ring had been found, and while stand
ing there the same train entered the sta
ton, having been right around the inner
circle, and, wonderful to relate, on the lower
footboard of the carriage the ring was dis
covered, having travelled the whole distance
lying on the open board.-l4ondon Tit-Bits
