HE LOST THE WIDOW.

On the Southern Pacific railroad in
California. not far from Majove, is a lit
tie station, a spur track" a box car
FOR A telegraph office and a section house
composing the whole. The station house
is. or rather was, presided over by a
handsome and hearty Irish woman. who
kept house for her husband. The hands,
being Chinese. cooked for themselves
The duty OF the agent consisted of re-
porting the passage o: trains none of
them sIOpped) and feeding himself.
Two or three miles to the west is what
is termed in that section a milk ranch.
The ranch contained a widow. fair. fat
and forty, and three as buxom girls, her
daughters. as the glorious climate OF Cal
!.ornia could produce. Many a sheep
herder had walked the bleak and dreary
hills for miles just to catch a glimpse of
those bright eyes. The railroad men
talked milk ranch" until it became tire
some to an uninterested person, though
they had but few chances to cultivate the
acquaintance of the ladies'.
One might have supposed that the
agent, being Johnny on The spot" as it
were, stood a better chance than the rest
of the ra.lroaders, but such was not the
case. There was a certain conductor,
Hardy by name, who leaned in the direc-
ton OF the widow. and he was equal to
the occasion. His plan OF operation was
at once unique and daring. He would
send his train ahead. leaving the caboose
standing at the station. Then. Of course
taking account OF other trains due. he
would wander over to he ranch and
spend all the spare cash in milk and his
spare time in blarney. Returning, he
would station himself on the front plat
form O. the caboose. like a trolly man.
and "let her go Gallagher" down 40
miles Of grade. while he controlled the
car by means OF the brake. catch his
train at the next station and proceed.
The agent didn't like this very well.
| Unfortunately his duties were such as
to conf1ne him to his box-car office al
most continually. so that he had no
chance to prosecute his suit, except when
the ladies' paid a visit to the station
house. After much breeding he decided
to put a stop to further proceedings on
the part Of the conductor. and waited his
opportunity.
