 They's a Hole Lot of people at spends tn most of their Time Cussin' tn Upper Birth in @ Sleepin' car, but they's a Hole Lot of People

 But about thishere Upper Birth. Not long ago I went Abrod an they put me in a Upper Birth becOs had only. a Teller ticket, You hafto have a Red Ticket to git into Lower Birth. I tole tn Nfggro Porter as I went up tn Ladder toards tn Upper Birth at they was | more Diffrunce between tn Upper an th' Lower'n they was between l tn COlOrs of tn Tickets. He sed at he didn't have nothin' to do with eether of 'em. He shOde me a strap or somethin' at I could hold onto in my sleep sos at | wuddent | fall cut an hurt nobody down be- low an then he went away an Took tn ladder cuttin' me off from Communications with tn World They was a Woman which SnoreG, 1 in tn Birth down stairs. I found out tn next Mornin at she was a Woman: I thought that Mite at she | was some kind of a POrpuss. List acrost tn Isle they was a man which had rented a Hole Compart- nent fer to set up some kind of l a Masheen in which I think was | Gasoleen Engine of moo an | Improved Tipe. It never missed fire wunst all Nite
 1 I diGn't say my prairs none that mite. I didn't seem to me at it'd | he Propriate an in Accordance with i tn TroO Packs to say Now I Lay | be Down to Sleep when I'd been | meerly Poked into a Shelf by q i Niggro Porter without no Chanst
 to Sleep I knode at nothin' wOrser'n
 that could happen to me that Mite | so what was tn Use of Prayin'? I'd always been a feerd of Raie- 1 rode Rex when I been on tn Cars l but after I'd been lissenin' to that l Woman Shore an tn Exost of that 1 Strange Masheen acrost tn Isle. I wasn't Skeered O Nothin' no more | I got to wishin at they'd be a Trane ! Beck sos at tn Upper Birth Pas
 sengers an tn Lower Birth Passen- | gers'd be Redoosed to Com
 ! mon Levels, so to Speek. l hoped at Bandits'd Holdup tn Trane sos
 ] to give me a EXcoos to git off that 1 Shelf. Fer tn first time in my 1 Life I wasn't afeerd to Die. I dared 1 tn Grim Destroir to Come On an 1 tole him at he wasn't nothin but q Bunk like tn Upper Birth If he was any Good an meant | Bizness there was tn Woman in 1 tn Lower fer him to work onto an tn Teller at was runnin' tn l Gasoleen Eniine acrost tn Isle.
 1 I finely let loose of tn Strap 1 hopin at I mite fall out an Brake a Arm or somethin' sos I could | 500 tn Niggro Porter an tn Rale- rode company fer Damidges. If | cuddent Clect nothin' I'd. at leest | be out of tn Upper Birth an I'd l be that much ahed. After while I
 was willin' to Risk both Arms fer l Freedom from tn Upper Birth.
 But mornin' come after while an | tn Niggro Porter brought tn Ladder l sos at I could Elope from tn Up l per Birth. I wasn't so Anxious to LeeVe it then: it had proved to me at I could be Brave an Face Deth an AXident without Flinchin'. ! It had also Taught me at if you're goin to Travel you don't want to Put Off things but you must be | Front an git to tn Ralerode Offs l before tn Red Tickets is All Gone. LITTLE JAMES.
