a story is told of certain local young

her valuables in her stocking when she re-
tired in the sleeping car. The next morning
when the train arrived at her station she |
was in such hurry that she forgot to pro.
duce her pocketbook. When the young |
lady alighted from the train the Pullman |
porter asked her for the ticket check he |
gave her the night before. The check was |
in her Pockeibook aud the pocketbook was
in her stocking. The train was ready to |
pull out and the porter had her return ticket
and she had the check for it. The girl got |
the poeketbook and the ticket and this ends |
the story.
