A sudden wind 'quall sweeping
around the corner of the depot the other
day caused me to reach up for my lid.
Directly ia front walked a man whose
hands did not reach his derby quickly
enough aud the gust whirled the hat off
his head, up in the air, and shot dozen
feet in front of him, and then flew back
in his arms without having touched the
ground. 1t was something that rarely
happens aud the owner of the lid told
me he had never seen such luck before.
1t looked as if some friendly sprite from
the unseen was GU guard to watch over
this particular Island Ponder or perhaps
helpful arms were outstretched to his
aid from the dubious fourth dimension.
At any rate it was a corking good catch
and the owner of the lid was doubly
thankful because the hat was being
blown directly toward shifting engine
when it decided to fly back to its owner,
and under the conditions it was not
likely the Grand Trunk would purchase
new hat for the loser if it got crushed
under the wheels.
