For days the heavy laden train. manned with sturdy crew, wound ifs way on it's long journey over the Sierra Madre and Sierra Nevada mountains and started on its trip to Trinidad, not far to the east, where the sensational incident of the tourney transpired.

The mvstitied trainmen "were called upon the carpet" and subjected tn a search ing inquiry as to the whereabouts and magical disappearance of No. 4.S4g.

likely to duplicate his order. and soon
there will be whole row eating ex-

similarity of appetite causes serious
embarrassment. This is invariably the
case If the occupants of the high chairs
shift about the same time and the men
on the end have numerous chances to
set examples for 20 or 80 patrons. Then
the pumpkin pie or sandwiches are
