Two hours later was standing, look

low earthwork that surrounded the
post on rather more than three sides.

which only a few hours before Travers

hunting expedition.
"A good, solid piece of work, Mr..

silver CLEAN of the river in front of
me, and had failed to notice him come

pedition. Well, you had better take
charge of the place and see that nobody
gets in. AS for lions, you stand fair
chance to see something quite as excit-
ing without going to find it,"
1t WINS the only reference Benson ever
made to our unauthorized expedition.
Travers had told him the whole affair
in few short sentences. as he had sat
with one leg out of his bed, just as he
had been reused to hear what we had
to say on our return. "Now," he added,
'get an hours sleep, and then have
something to eat, for must have every
man At and well by daybreak."
Sleep? The very idea seemed alb
surd, but had at least enough sense
OF discipline to try what lying down
on my rough bunk would do toward

HIs GREAT RECORD.
Conductor Sherwood of the Northern IA
ciao Has Travelled $4,000 Miles.


Thore Is a dining car conductor on the
Northern Pacific road, running out or
Minneapolis every week or two for the
coast, who keeps chalk mark record OF
his trips from the Atlantic 60 the Pacilo
lust as the Arizona Kid used to keep tally
of the men he had killed by cutting
notch on his gun butt. There are 90
chalk marks down now and lxS iittie CIR
cles, representing the equivalent OF Jour-
neys around the globe.
The conductor is W. s. Sherwood, and
no has had 23 years continuous service
For ten years he was running for the Puii'
mans from New York TO Chicago ana from
Chicago 60 ST. Paul. He made these trips
$40 times. Thon, as soon as the Northern
Pacific was completed from the Mississippi
TO the western ocean in 1888, lie started
ia its dining service, and he has gone from
here Co Tacoma more than 300 times. In
all, in this 23 years of service, he has run
82l2, 900 miles, or l28 times around the
world, and no thinks he carries the record
as "a traveller He hns never been hurt In
a wreok--in fact, has never been IN puo
one, and that was a m sre blum at wrecH'
He Is tho only man yet on the road VINO
has boon with it since 1t was hrst put
through TO the coast.
He had charge of the famous Henry
Willard party that went through on the
Northern Pacific in triumphal procession,
the party that left St Paul under arches
OF roses after unlimited champagne and
came back week later, Wizards power
gone, with beer tho only drink, and abuse
In the place of arches. Nearly all the ori-
entail magnates who have crossed on the
road Sherwood has dined and wined. He
had Kipling under his charge in 1890, when
that writer, then unknown 30 fame, took
the passage from west TO east on the long
Journey from India to Egypt, and that no
has never retraced. He took Rufus Hatch
and party OF 10 New York brokers on
their famous free excursion from Chicago
| to the Yellowstone in 1888, when it Is OF
| record that more wine was consumed than
during any transcontinental trip before
or since Possible investors in western
| railroad stocks and bonds, mines, towns,
| syndicates, etc., for whom ii was desired
to make most favorable introduction in
to the promised land, have been piioted
westward and back by Sherwood, and
many times.
AIr. Sherwood expects to pass Is or 20
more years IN transcontinental service, and
| he has an ambition to cover 6,OOO,O0O
miles before he starts ont to SEQ the rest OF
the world on his own acoount.--New York
