The Train for 'Opkin sville
By s. F. RISER

nI BEG your pardon" said the stout
 gentleman with the muttonchop whiskers, "can you tell me 'ow long 1t will be before the next train goes to 'opkinsyille?"
 Twenty minutes to eight" replied the station agent, as he closed the tick ct window.
 The traveller sat down on a bench on the platform and began reading a newspaper. It was then about three in the afternoon, but the gentleman with the muttonchops evidently had time to kill, and the station agent, who had business at the freight house up the track. passed him without making any further comment concerning things in general than that 1t was fine day.
 A through freight rumbled past after the man on the station platform had several times looked at his watch. but there was no sign of the train for Hop kinsville.
 The man with the muttonchops be- gan to get ndgety after he had waited 25 minutes. He took several turns up and down the platform and said Dear me" ont loud
 Presently three men passed on . handcar and the man who wished to go to Hopkinsville looked wistfuily aft CT them. Having consulted his watch again. he sat down and began to read his paper. Everything was quiet around the station. There was no bus

Ten or 15 minutes later drayman backed his wagon up to the platform. and the EngIishman's face brightened. The outlook seemed promising.
 Hello, Pat" said the station agent. emerging from the express ofice. what do you want, Browns trunk?"
 Pat said that was what he had come for, and i've minutes later he drove away.
 The Englishman looked after him rather responsibility He seemed, some how, to regard it as an Irish trick that was wholly devoid of any humorous turn. -..5
 It was 4:36 by the clock in the wait ing room when an express train rushed through from the west, leaving cloud of dust and smoke to settle slowly be- hind it. The Englishman watched 1t fade from view far down the long. straight stretch of track. and then he went inside to look for the agent. The ticket office was closed and he knocked without getting response. He com- pared his watch with the clock that was slowly ticking above the window. after which he studied the maps in the waiting room without apparently gain ing any satisfaction. At length bare footed boy looked in, yelled ''Boo," and then scampered away.
 Bless my soul" said the man with the muttonchops. as he stood on the platform and watched the boy running up the road. He had seated himself again and was examining a timetable when there came to his ears a shriIl toot from around the bend just west of the station. He jumped up with an expression of satisfaction and rushed inside to get his ticket. but the window was still closed and the agent was no- where in sight.
 Bless my souil" exclaimed the Eng. lishman. rapping anxiously on the glass panel, this is jolly rum way to operate a railroad. Hullo, therei l gay! Agent! Agent"
 But the agent was dead, sleeping or absent
 Another toot caused the traveller to pick up his satcheI and hurry to the platform. where he vas able to see a freight train coming round the bend. AS 1t passed he took off his hat and veArily wiped his brow.
 After the freight train had rsttled through he sat down. There vas hard look on the round, red face It vas the look of man who found little to commend la the general conduct of earthly things, and he even cast e re- proarhfuI look at the sun. which vas disappearing beyond the freight house A stray dog walked cut upon one end of the platform and then stopped to look half suSplciousIy. half eOaxingly. al the Englixhman. who. without any show of frfendIiness, said:

 The dog turned disconsoIately. and after trofting little way stopped to look back, as If he were not sure that the mans nnfFiendiy rsmarks ought to be fsxen in earnest.

 Next Monday,


 New York. April 21.--A terrific thun- der and rain storm broke over Ameri- can League Park this afternoon and spoiled what promised to be an in- teresting baseball game, the initial one of the season between the Washington and New York teams. Nearly 2O.OOO persons attended When the storm broke before the third inning, spec tators wildly demanded that the game be called and a riot seemed imminent The police were then instructed to announce that there would be no ad- mission charged for the game next Monday between the same clubs. The game was not called until after the opening of the final half of the fourth ming, The crowd showed It's displeas- ure at the delay in calling the game by cheering the visiting Washingtons when they knocked out three runs off Chesbro's pitching in their half of the fourth inning, making the score 5 to 1 in favor of Washington which under the rules does not count in the cham pionshp series.
