striplfns of effeminate rosiness and
neat attire sat In the corner OF a frontier
saloon, modest, silent, and as far out or
the way as he could get. He had stepped
from the train and he was waiting for the
stage It was starched linen that he wore;
the city showed quite plainly in his hat.
and It Is still in dispute whether any down
was visible upon his lip. But he was old
enough to be smoking cigar with all the
appearance Of habit. The cigar, also. was
not a native Of the town. In fact, the
young man made no purchase upon enter
ing the saloon. nevertheless the proprietor
could scarcely complain of him. The strang-
er had asked If he might walt there for
the stage, and had thanked the proprietor
for his permission.
Then he had sought his quiet corner and
lighted his cigar.
A citizen walked out of the back room
and UP to the bar. He had left a faro game.
and the proprietor was friendly with him,
but respectful: that sort of respect which Is
favored delicately with just enough ia
miliarity to bring 1t out. 1t Is probable
that the citizen had had more drinks than
the one he now took 1t is also likely that
faro had not gone as well with him this
morning as he considered his due. His
dissatisfied eye fell upon the rosy youth
and his cigar, and he took the glass from
his lips and held 1t. considering the strang-
er.

Furthermore, many would choose want and

The speaker urged the necessity for In

course. saying that it Is not easy for an

The problems involved in dealing with

THE HOBO FREIGHT CAR.
How to Get n Maine Central Car Home
From Texas.

IeXaa.
From Ainslee's Magazine.
The car accountant is typical instance Of
development in the railroad business. In the
early days he did not exist. The superin-
tendent was supposed to know in a general
way what was being done with the COM
pany's cars. The custom was for railroads
to carry through freight far as the end
Of their own lines in their own cars. Then
1t was transferred to the cars of the foreign
line and so assisted on the next stage to its
destination. So much time, however, was
lost in making the transfers that the needs
of shippers forced upon the railroads de-
parture which has now become their gen.
eral custom. Railroads permit all loaded
cars to go through to their destination with
out transfer, and allow one another a GER
tain sum for the use Of the ears. This
suits in scattering the cars of the different
roads over every section of track In the
country. 1t produces the extraordinary pro-
cessions of many-colored travellers from dis
tant lands that delight the eyes of young
SterS railroad crossing
In theory, the cars are permitted to run
through over foreign roads to their destina-
tion on the condition that on their arrival
they shall be unloaded promptly and started
on the journey home. In practice, the
freight agent is apt to use the cars that are
most handy, regardless of their ownership.
An agent in Minneapolis would hardly think
twice before filling up Maine Central
freight car with consignment for Mani
toba. The agent at Manitoba would not
suffer pang of conscience when he found
himself stuffing the same Maine car with
cargo of supplies for Waco, Tex. Thus are
begun the wanderings of a car to which, II
it were not for the car accountant and his
memoranda, there would sometimes be no
end.
1t Is by no means easy to bring the wan
derers home. When the Maine CentraPs car
accountant learns from his reports that his
car Is being unduly knocked about on for
eign roads his first news is that it has spent
two weeks in the yards at Minneapolis. A
tracer is at once forwarded to the trans
portation department Of the railroad which
is believed to be holding the car. BY this
time the car is on its way to Manitoba.
tracer follows it there, but with the similar
result of finding that the car has been dis
patched for the southwest. A-letter TO the
company operating the line out OF Waco
