FAITHFUL. TO HIS PRlNcIpLEs
Railroad Man Maintained Silence
Throughout Emergency.

Ralph f. Dudley, who has been Gus.

for many years. had lively time yes
terday morning with a hoarse voiced
alarm clock Mr.. Dudley lives at 4122
Mcpherson avenue, and is so regular
in his habits that all the little boys
in that neighborhood set their $1.5O
watches when he passes down the
street in the morning and returns In
the evening Practical jokers who 1--we
In the same house with Mr.. Dudley
and have never been able to share his
reputation for punctuality recently
bought an alarm clock, warranted to
keep on disturbing the neighborhood
Tor an unlimited period. This they
adjusted to begin sounding its alarm
few minutes after Mr.. Dudley's time
for leaving the house. Then they
placed the clock in his overcoat
pocket and awaited developments.
Mr.. Dudley left the house at the
usual hour, boarded an east bound car,
and when the car reached Grand ave
nue. something in his immediate vicin'
ity broke loose. He didn't know what
II was, but long experience In the
railroad business had taught him to
sny nothing in an emergency without
first seeing the general manager of
the system, so he looked unconscious
and squeezed closer to the side OF
The car. From Grand avenue to
Twelfth street the racket kept up, but
Mr.. Dudley was game, and not until
he was safe inside his own office did
he look for the cause Of the disturb.
