Tom, the official mouser ofthe Mary
land and Pennsylvania Railroad, and
who recently had a thrilling ride on the
trucks of passenger coach from Balti-
more to Loeb Raven. has now become
steady passenger on the evening train
from Baltimore to Bel Air, says the Balti-
more News. Shortly before the dis
patcher's warning bell rings Tom, with
an air of attending to some important
and urgent business, hurries down the
platform and leaps into the open side
door of the baggage coach. By the time
the train starts he has picked out the
softest spot he can find for nap. After
the train is we'll on its way Tom often
visits the smoking car, but it is noticed
that he only crosses the platforms of the
coaches while the train is at a station.
The cat rides all the way to Bel Air, and,
while it is a matter of doubt where he
spends his evenings in the Hartford coun-
ty town, he is on hand bright and early
the next morning to return to Baltimore
with his friends, the trainmen. The rail-
road men have various theories to ac-
count for Toms regularity in making
the trip The most plausible one is that
he likes to ride in the baggage car because
he gets chance to lap up the milk which
is sometimes splashed from cans along
the route Others of Toms friends say
that he has discovered that Bel Air mice
and rats are fat and easily caught. and
that he journeys into Hartford to CRAFTY
an epicurean taste for country-bred
rodents.
