It was among the pine barrens Of Florida and
the train was humping itself along In the lei
surely, unimpassioned manner peculiar In the
Floridian railway, of which the ordinary ac-
commodation is as a tightening express. One
Of the passengers was a woman Of the cracker
variety. Gown, skin, hair. and eyes were alike
faded, washed out; her very expression was
blank and blurred. Suddenly, and with an ami
nation that would not have been dreamed
possible. she sprang to her feet and shrieked:
Conductor. you're gone past the horse !
you're gone past the horse "
Upon this the train, without much. difficulty
came to a full stop and then backed its way
through the desolate landscape until 1t reached
a tree to which was tied a horse, also OF the
cracker variety. Here the woman jumped out,
mounted the horse and was soon lost to sight
among the dresry dunes and scrubby trees.
The conductor looked somewhat surprised
when a Northerner asked what 1t was all about.
