A VOLUNTEER TRACK WALKER.
did you ever hear of the S. P.'s
track walker between Deming and
Yuma?" asked an S.~P. conductor of
Link and Pin HE is a. queer char
acter," continued the conductor when
he had received a negative reply, land
passengers often ask who he is, ebe-
cause of the frequency of his being
seen on the road and his strange APP
Ipearance ! have seen him many times
at different points on the road and
have heard that he is a locoed individ-
ual, who thinks that he is employed as
sort of inspector of way, or track
walker by the Southern Pacific COM
pany and that he has to walk contin-
ually over the road from Deming to
Yuma and back, and he sometimes gets
as far down as Ell Paso, but I had
never had an opportunity to speak to
him until few days ago. / then asked
him several questions regarding his
past life and his imaginary job
He is a tall, slim man, and wears his
hair, which Is streaked with gray. long,
and his face is never clean. But he Is
n harmless old fellow and everybody
humors him; in fact, the people along
the route which he has been travelling
continually since 1882 feed him and give
him cast off clothing. He told me that
his name was James c. prumgold and
that he was fifty years old. He said he
came down from California to accept
his present job from the Southern Pa
cific. and that he had brother living
in that state He said he also had two
sisters living in New York. He seems
to be well educated and writes an eX
cellent hand. His lunacy does not
manifest itself in his conversation, but
his appearance betrays it, and the fact
that he travels afoot over that long,
dry stretch of railroad track through
the summer and winter and has been
doing so for nineteen years proves
that he is mentally unbalanced.
'Trainmen have asked him to ride,
but he says he could not attend to his
duties if he rode. believe that if he
should find something wrong with the
track he would flag any train that
might be approaching the dangerous
spot. and thus prevent a wreck, but If
such a case has ever happened 1 have
never heard of it. The railroad men all
know him. and lie is known by several
different nicknames, but very few peo-
pie know his right name"

Getting Himself Dfsliked

self disliked. The impression he Is
making as acting secretary OF the
navy is that he does not measure up
to the position he is trying to fill. and
in trying to do so is coming very near
making himself ridiculous.
A day or two age, as reported in
The Washington Post. he notified the
correspondents that he would not
again see any of them, but that when
he had anything to communicate to
the public he would post IL in the bull
nifed frame Of mind. They could not
set in to have fun with him They sent
their cards to him in the shape of inn
mense sheets OF brown paper with their
names written on them, and the did
various other things ths/ were calcu-
lated TO annoy him in his present dig
nifty frame of mind. They could not
see why the understudy should shut
himself up in his shell when his prin-
cipal. when present, was always SO ac-
cessible.
And then il seems that Mr.. Hackett
has been dealing with navy officers Of
high rank-with Evans and Schley and
others-in his correspondence as If
they were clerks in his department.
This has made a bad impression. 1t is
noticeable therefore that the people
are taking notice of Mr.. Hackett, and
are writing letters to the newspapers
about him wanting to known whether
or not his temporary elevation TO DOW
er has not given him the big head.
No doubt he is a very good sort of a
fellow. al things considered, but there
are some men so constituted tina they
lose their grip on common sense when
placed in a position Of power, however
brief their occupation OF the place
may be. Secretary Long will be back
in his place in the navy department.

has made will not forget him. They

The broker could prove nothing, and
the $4,000 came out of his pocket. II
the broker had received the order on a
