very oId-fashioned reticule which hung
about her wrist, presented it to the tel

with the ordinary blowing of a whis-
lie, but when the engine let's ont II
screech upon entering the city limits
aud keeps it mp in long continuous
blasts all the way through the city,
the authorities would be justified in
stopping the train and arresting the
crew. There is absolutely no reason
for it at night any more than during
the day unless it is to wake up the
towermen and ii that is the case ii is
up to the railroad to give its en-
ployes such hours that they can keep
awake while on duty.
