turning to his ever faithful partner,
Pete, he hurriedly said:

"'Tain't safe, Red" he y Id. Didn't

There's about five on the engine"
Podeek saw the point and hedged.
We'll, boys, guess we're In for it.
What'll we do now"
McCollum spoke up. Lets sue for
peace; I'm willin'"
A rush was made for the caboose,
where Cardigan calmly watched them.
It was a hard dose to swallow, but no
compromise was now possible.
Cardigan, you've got us" was Reds
brief introduction. I'VE want to GO
back"
"Oh. you do, do you? Aren't you hay-
ing a nice ride? It's cheap too. You
are not kicking on, the fare, are your"
was Caddigan's rejoiner.
Not a word was said until McCollum
in his squeaky voice walled: Och,
be aisy on US an let us off,"
'Well. | guess not" said Cardigan.
"This Is a through train; the first
stop is fifty miles out the fare back
Is only 3 cents a mile, and that will
give you a very cheap one hundred
mile ride"
They all began to plead for mercy
at once, and Cardigan relented when
McCollum winningly exclaimed: BE
dadl We're fifteen miles out now and
I want to get home to supper. I'm
hungry this minutep'
well, seeing it's you, I'll let you
off," said Cardigan. But, remember,
you owe me fare; you forgot to pay it"
A stop signal slowed up the train,
and the men dejectedly dropped along
side the track, a sadder and wiser
party. It was an extremely hot day;
they were over fifteen miles from East
Corinth, and wide stretch of bottom
land lay between them and home. The
road was coal slack ballast and at
tracted the heat. AS old Sol was doing
a little striking on his own account, 1t
seemed that everything In range would
melt. What was said upon that long,
hot, tiresome walk, with not even a
shade tree to rest under, would hardly
do for sensitive souls to hear. Yet,
under the circumstances, the recording
angel possibly stopped his ears and
forgot to chalk up full run.
Next morning the superintendent
found the following telegram on his
desk:
