Quite recently a team was passing

Abraham Gilbert is q worthy citizen
of the neighboring village of Branch
Vile. He is married and the father OF q
small family. On Thursday, while re-
turning ia the train from Danbury, he
noticed among his fellow passengers q
young and rather attractive woman, APP
parently a widow. who held in her arms
u handsomely dressed infant about 0
months old.
AS the train slowed up for the stop ut
Bethel the woman asked MIR. Gilbert II
he would be SO kind az to hold her baby
while she spoke to u friend who was to
be at the station. Mr.. Gilbert jumped
at the chance. for he Is very fond of
| pretty babies. and while the train waited
he handled the youngster on his knee,
called it u little tootsy wootsy and sad

The train started. and Mr.. Gilbert pre-
pared to surrender his charge, hut the
mother did not appear. Mr.. Gilbert was
certain that she had missed the train ny
accident and that she wac at that min
ute fretting herself almost to death about
the child, but the older and more expert
enced travellers smiled grimly and n
cluded that Mr.. Gilbert was the victim
of an old trick. When the train reached
B~ranchville. Mr.. Gilbert tried to get the
train hands to assume the custody of the
child, but they asserted that there was
nothing in the rules and regulations OF
the road that compelled them to do SO.
and nothing remained for Mr.. Gilbert
but to take the baby home and place it
among his own. He did SO. and the lit
tie stranger is in excellent hands.
The child is a boy. The woman was
handsomely dressed and wore a veil
which almost completely hid her fea-
cures. No effort has been made to find
her.-Norwalk Conn Dispatch.

Edward Dunn Was One Of the Very Few
Suffers From Petechfal Hemorrhage.
Edward Dunn, SO years old, employ
ed in a printing establishment at 26
Yandewater street, and apparently per-
fectly healthy, went to the Chambers
Street hospital the other day, blood ex-
uding from the pores of the skin OF his
arm and face. He said he must have
lost much blood, but wasn't weakened
by it.
DIR. Taylor was puzzled v the phe-
nomenon and said he hardly knew how
to treat it. There was evidently no
artery severed, as the blood did not
squirt out violently, rs it would have
done in that case. While the doctor
was trying to decide what he could do
for Dunn, the curious flow stopped OF
itself. 1t had lasted about an hour.
Dunn returned to work.
Superintendent Lake of the hospital
told me last evening that Dunn's all
ment was exceedingly rare and that he
might enjoy the distinction Of figuring
in medical annals as one of Q few suf-
ferers from what was generally known
as petechial hemorrhage.

a Nebraska Mans solution OF the Problem
ot Cheap Railroad Travel.
The Burlington operates a line to
Sheridan, Wy, ut which point the
Adams Express company has an Office.
About two weeks ago a man called upon
Mr.. Smith, depot agent for the Adams
Express company in Omaha. and in
quired the cost of shipping q box,
weighing about ESQ pounds, to Sheri-
dan. He was informed that it would
be about SO.
A few minutes before train time an
express wagon brought the box to the
depot. 1t was unloaded, weighed,
properly marked for shipment, and i'm
mediately placed ON board the express
car. preparatory to taking a $50 mile
journey.
The box was about 8 feet long and 3
feet wide and weighed 273 pounds.
The express charges were sic. Is and
were paid by a mar whose identity the
express company is now attempting to
establish. The train duly arrived in
Sheridan and the box, among other
goods, was unloaded from the express
car and stored in the depot and the
doors locked.
In about half an hour Agent Wood
was informed that the express office
door was ajar, and the belief was voiced
that burglars were at work robbing
the place. The agent at once secured
the assistance of several men, and after
arming themselves they entered the
express Office. Nothing was found dis.
turbed except the Omaha box. 1t was
empty. The lid had been forced from
the box, and the contents were gone,
When the box was critically examined,
1T was found that no instrument had
been used from the outside to loosen tht
cover.
Upon the inside at one end was plain
~ to be seen the print of a mans feet
The size of the box, the weight and thu
footprints were sufficient to convinct
the agent it had certainly contained {
human being, and that upon his arriva
at the end of the journey he simpl,
opened the box, walked over to the door
unbolted it and disappeared.
There are many theories advanced a
to the purpose of the man in the box
Some believe that arrangements wer'
on foot to rob the express company
either on the train or at the Sheridan
Office, while others think that the occu
pant of the box was an escaping crimi
nal.
In any event, he beat the railwa.
company out of half of a fare-for tn
