badly hurt at one of the bridges over which
cur line crosses the Michigan Central
tracks. 1t got their names and found that

Il found Tom with his head in different
colored wraps and bandages, until 1t locked
as big as half-bushel measure. He con-
stantly kept this huge ball rolling from
side to side and groaned so as to be heard
in all the immediate neighborhood Jerry
lay on his left side with two sheets, several
pillow cases and shawl about his right
arm. His groans were as effective as
Toms, but in different key. 1t was not
an environment to promote social inter-
course, but l reminded them that we be-
longed to the same lodge, that would do
the fair thing and that l wanted to see
them at the company's Office as soon as
they could appear there.
The very next day they came in the
outfits l have described. They were ten

dustriously as ever. When they were seat
