peared at the platform between the
two private cars urging them not to
make any noise.
The colonel can't come out" he ex-
planned softly. The railroad men. sorry
at having disturbed the colonel. asked
how he was getting along. When Lyon
told them he was standing the trip re-
markably well. one Of the grimy rail-
readers stepped close-so Roosevelt
would not hear his voice-and Whisper
ed TO Lyon: The whole bunch Of rail-
road men will vote for him."
The former President dropped on to
sleep before the train reached Fort
Wayne. Ind. where six weeks ago he
made a sizzling speech from the plat
form Of his special train on the way to
the Pacific Coast. Fully loo people
waited to see him. but all they could do

Roosevelt, as he disposed OF the last
morsel.
Mrs. Martin. wife Of the sturdy ste

he was about 10 fire the second shot at
the colonel. gave Martin q hug and af-
fectionate kiss as she boarded the train
at Lima. Mrs. Martin 10 a slim young |
woman, and says she Is going to make
II her business to see that Gilbert doesn't |
let his head grow too big" She had her
husband tell her how 1t all happened
as she and he dined together. When he |
had finished she exclaimed rapturously:
"El. I'm proud of you" Then a. he sat
beaming at her. she added, pointing a
warning finger at him: But you mustn't
let II carry you away: you only did your
duty after all. Ell"
"Yes'm." assented Martin refiectiveiy.
Although this was no day for labora-
tory work. DIR. Lambert succeeded for
tie first time, as the train bringing the
colonel sped along. In precisely locating
