fished up coin. The conductor showed
1t in his pocket and rang up the fare.
Then he gazed into the ear and rode for
some moments mOtiOnless.
The bantam touched him on the arm.

conductor, turning savagely.

The bantam looked him In the eye and
said.

"S-s-sp-p-p--" the conductor started
to say, linking his words together so
fast that they fell over one another.
And then he ncautiously reached forth
an arm toward the dapper little man in
the light coat.
When they had stopped the car to
take the conductor off he was fit for a
surgical clinic. What the little fellow
did to him was certainly sufficient from
scientific standpoint. and the messen-
ger boy on the platform methOdically
rang up ten fares before he declared
the conductor "Out." Meanwhile the
little man was standing on corner sew

the boomerang will act like the famous

An Official of tho c. s. O. Speaks OF
the Loss.
The loss sustained by the Chesapeake
and Ohio Railway Company in yester-
days fire, though great, is not as large
as was first estimated. The papers that
were destroyed were very valuable, ana
in many instances are without dupii-
Gates. It is impossible to estimate the
loss thus sustained in dollars and cents,
as the papers, though having no colnmer-
cial value, cannot in some instances be
replaced. and the loss is total.
One of the high officials of the COM
pany said last evening: The Chesa-
peaks and Ohio Company thoroughly APP
preciates the work of the tiremen. and
but for their heroic efforts our loss would
have been much greater. The men
worked nobly, and too much praise for
the brave fellows is impossible. They
deserve the greatest credit
While the loss to the Chesapeake and
Ohio is great, all the railroads OF any I'M
Dortance in the country will be more or
less affected. owing to the destruction
of the papers in the offices of Car Ser
vice Department. Here records of roll
ing stock in service were filed, and this
department was Quilted.
