ence had t. be placed In the watchful-
ness of the gatekeepr at the tracks.

spOrtion of the street Is afforded. Stand
ring on the Baltimore and Ohio tracks

tive is obtained. The long rows OF steel
-pillars seen 20 touch each other at the

f1ect of the scene on the observer IS TO
suggest walking through a square pipe
