Hs ReJoiess When the Train 10 Late
for Purely Personal Reasons.

The Flying Bluenose, . train which
usually earns it's title as railroad trav-
Ell goes in the quiet Canadian province
1t traverses, had been held for an
hour or more at a little town until a
new locomotive could be procured.
The regular locomotive had laid down
on the job. 1t was a case of tired
boiler tubes.
Passengers were chatting at the de-
lay. Ther was no reason for impa-
tlence, for the next stop was the
terminus of the line, and a seaport;
those who were going to take the beat
knew 1t wOuld wait for the train; the
others had no other object for the
day but dinner, and the train would
surely arrive before six. The SEIZED
uled time of arrival was $50.
Nevertheless the passengers were
impatient. Most of them were Ameri'
cans, which explains it. They clus-
tered around the rear platform Of the
Pullman or made daring excursions
into the town. with one a open for
the whistle Of the extra locomotive
coming down the line.
Members of the train crew took
matters calmly and answered all ques'
tons. even the inevitable foolish kind
with courtesy. The brakeman voiced
his sentiments.
This suits me-" he said, leaning
against the guard rail. Here We have
been getting in on time or nearly SO
day after day and there have been two
hours before supper with nothing to
do. To-day We'll get in about six, just
in time for supper.
II wish we'd get held up every day
or the train would be put on a slow
schedule. The appearance of being
busy suits me mach better thar actual
loating."
He shifted to an easier position and
gazed dreamily up the stretch of track
When the relief engine announced its
approach with a raucous blast he
seemed to resent the intrusion and
made his way back to the switch far

Mrs. Wilcox had boundless faith In

Quently he had primed her with in
