FORGOT HER BABY

IN RAPID DEPOT.
Just as the big driver on the east
bound Northwestern passenger was
whisking the train out of Rapid City
Tuesday night, an excited woman
rushed from the Pullman car and in
coherently beseached Conductor Val
entine to stop the train. With diff.
ficulty, Val got the woman to give
her reason. AS she explained that
the contents of a most important
bundle lay forgotten near a seat in
the Rapid City depot, the stern look
on Val's face relaxed and he reached
for the bell cord. Before the train
had come to full stop, the woman
was on the ground and the colored
porter preceded her to the depot.
Lying back in his little buggy, a
blue-eyed baby, all unconscious of
the fact that he had almost been left
behind, lay cooling up at the search
ing porter. In jiffy baby and coach
trundled along to the waiting train
train and Mrs. Nellie Lukens vowed
that she never would hear the end of
that incident when she reached Nor
folk, Neb., and her husband.
