portant official, the conductor, comes In
the bit Of pasteboard, he Informs you that
this train does not stop at New Castle, you
must go on to tho next stop, which is
Porter's
If no one has tried 1t, Just follow out
these directions and then they will enjoy
the various and conflicting emotions Of
being carried right past whereyou want to
stop, conscious of being taken you know
not WHITTIER After what seems to be an
interminable length of time, lowing to
these same conflicting emotions) you ar.
rive at Porter's Station and are informed
that you must walt two hours and half
for the next train for New Castle. AS

vast expanse of mud and water. First of
all make the acquaintance of the tele-
graph operator, land by the way he is
