Head over heels both went tumbling
down the grass-clad embankment.
They sat up at its bottom somewhat
bruised, to stare in awe as the car
they had left met the jam ahead and
was splintered to fragments.
Il say!" shuddered the tramp. you
grabbed me just in time. Thanks!"
Two hours later the queerly-matched
twain stood near the center of the
wreck, interested in what they saw.
A great car full of grain had left the
train, striking 4 rocky embankmsnt
base, its golden contents scattered
over the ground like IN exhausted
avalanche.
The wrecking train and an inspec-
tor had arrived. The tramp had been
acting reflective and calculating for
some time.

Seventy dollars would buy the sal

the chicken cars were denuded OF
their contents within twenty-four
hours.
What an afternoon and night they
had of it! Less than half mile dis
tant the tramp had located little
cabin that had been vacated by its
owner for a more pretentious resi-
dence. 1t had sheds and stable.
Its owner would lease the outfit for
a trifle. He loaned them a wagon.

leisure.

a week later.
They had fixed up the old cabin till
1t was coy and comfortable. They
had sold one thousand chickens for
four hundred dollars. With two hum

able to purchase the cabin and two
acres Of land about 1t.
At the end of two months they had
4 regular paying business to attend
to. The tramp seemed happy and
contented. One day Justus went back
to his home town. His first call was
upon Mr.. Lincoln.

about" he announced buoyantly. and
It's bigger than ten by twelve"
