HE GOT TO ST. LOUIS.
Busted Tout" Who Worked the Rail-
way In Neat Manner


way in Neat Manner.
Talking about diplomats" said mem
ber of the House from Missouri, Il think
n race track follower who was stranded
when the recent collapse across the river
came, is entitled TO a cushioned seat in the
front row.
The crash dropped down Just AT time
when the tout TO whom refer was without
friends or funds. st. Louis was the point
he desired 10 reach. where home and faulty
waited TO welcome him. but il might Just
as well have been the North Pole so far
asanypTospeCt o ofrea ching it was concerned.
But the tout had learnedin Sunday school
that where thereis a will there is way. and
so he determined to adopt the Pixies Peak
or bust tactics. Walking was out of the
question. and the would-be traveller had no
desire to freeze on the blind end of baggage
car or hazard his life on the uncertainties
OF a brakebeam. But, as the sequel shows,
he was more than equal TO the emergency,
and solved the difficult problem with an
ingenuity that if given free swing in the
State Department would soon settle all
our foreign complications.
The tout raised So on an OverCoat
rather run down at the heel. He went over
to the deserted track and took possession
of an old broken up race horse that had been
the deserted stalls and pressed into service
a nice looking cover. hood. halter. leggingS
and other paraphernalia that had been
overlooked i'll the haste of departure. With
these he rugged the animal out in first
class style and carefully led it to the ship
ping offices Of the railroad company.
The explanation was given that the
horse was n racer of great value and long
pedigree and must be shipped to st. Louis
by fast express. The beast was too high
bred for a slow-going freight. He had
broughtalong asupplyoffOodandw would care
for the horse in transit. The owner of the
valuable animal would meet him in the
Missouri city ari pay the charges of
transportation.
You won't have any too much feed
for the trip. will yOu?' remarked the observ-
ing representative OF the corporation.
"'Oh this horse is so high strung that
he will eat scarcely anything when cooped
up in a car, replied the diplomat.
And so a deal was made by which the
race horse and his keeper would be carried
through TO st. Louis on a fast express
train, and all charges settled upon arrival
at the other end.
THE railroad company carried out its
part of the agreement and the victim of
adverse fortune had very comfortable as
well as quick journey. Upon arrival he
pulled himself together and prepared for a
hOspitable reception at the home OF his
childhood. An impertinent official of the
company made some inquiries as to what
disposition should be made of the valuable
race horse, and the tout politely informe d
him that the common carrier could take
the horse and go plumb TO sheol with him
so far as he was individually concerned.
IAN examination OF the property thus
left on their hands for disposal revealed
the fact that the railroad company owned
an old decrepit, brOken-lown horse worth
the sum total of about cents.
That tout will some day be a millionaire
and own everything in sight,
