and he had to wait for another train. | was
with him, silently watching.
By close observation learned just why eacn
person | studied chose his or her seat on the
"7:07." The fat, mdde-aged gentleman with
the Prussian mustache and thick glasses, who
always wore brown overcoat, invariably oc-
cupied front seat in the fourth coach. The
front door Of the coach opened within few
inches of an elevator into which he would step.
He disliked climbing stairs, and by simple
maneuvre of being right on the job he in
variably managed to catch the first elevator
going up. | became so interested in this game
Of plucking pin feathers from the wings OF
Father Tempus that | began to concoct
schemes of my own. | discovered one that beat
even the efficient method of the young man
with the long legs. | chose seat near the
middle of the fourth coach. Why? Because
the window opened very easily. When the
train slowed down at the New York station l
would lift the window, and as the train came
to halt / simply hurdled out landing at the
foot Of a stairway | would be at the head of
the stairs before the young man with the long
legs began his sensational climb. l fancied
that my red-nosed friend was somewhat
chagrined to see me beat him at his own game.
However, all the ruses practised by the COM
mon run of commuters were merely child's
play compared to the expert work of my old
friend Bill Hooker. Bill is railroad man
with corrugated face and white hair. In
his sixty-year-old bosom he carries the heart of
a ten-year-old boy. Bill taught me all his COM
muting secrets when he was trying to sell me
his bungalow in Toptown-on-the- Knoll, one
station beyond Ridge Park. One day when Bill
felt reasonably certain that l would buy his
bungalow he invited me to accompany him.
(Here ! should mention that Bill always left
the train at the last station before it entered
the tunnel for the New York terminal.) He
always occupied the left rear seat of coach No.
5. He was telling me how many tons of coal
l could save by buying his cottage, when I
observed light in his eye.
"Now," he exclaimed with the fiery en-
thusasm of an artist. "See that corn-cure ad
over thereW
yep"
'Well, when the corn-cure ad. swings into
line with the chimney of that clothespin fac
tory, we scoot," said Bill, and he scooted. |

an individual experience, but it only proved
that there is a reason for almost everything. |

ton why some people preferred the front coach
and some the second, and so on. determined

after some forty years of study | might COM
pile work of seventeen or twenty volumes
which would make me immortal, and possibly
qualify me as an expert witness before the
Public Service Commission.
But it did not take forty years to solve my
problem. Within week had arrived at the
underlying principles which drove certain peo-
pie into certain coaches and compelled them to
sit in certain seats 1t was all very simple.
They were merely racing with Father Time.
Even as they leaned back in their seats and
busted themselves with their newspapers they
were straining to pick the pockets of the old
gentleman, stealing a second here and second
there. Take, for instance, the young man with
the long legs. | gathered that he had to be at
his office downtown at 8 o'clock sharp. He
knew that the az: 07" always stopped in exactly
the same spot at the New York station. One
leap from the rear door of the first coach would
bring him to the foot of certain stairway.
He would be the first man on the stairs. /

stairs like springbuck of the Swiss Alps.
Once the conductor was a bit slow in opening
the door, and the stairs were jammed when
the young man was released from the train.

as we entered the train. "Only we've
simply got TO capture d rear seat in
the second coach, or everything will
be undone. OF course, if the seats are
occupied, we can stand"
The seats were taken, so we stood
while the train shot under the river

the train and the first TO land in the

express subway train for downtown,
tossing our transfers at the ticket
chopper on the platform as we flew
past him.
Now, the beautiful thing about

our seat, sis that it practically runs

began to grow uneasy. I asked Bill

ner as he ran toward the first coach.
When he arrived at the station a min
ute or so ahead Of the train he would
station himself in exactly the same
spot, right at the platforms edge and
directly in front of a penny slot ma
chine. Without moving an inch, he
would step into the vestibule of the
first coach when the train stopped.
He would always sit down in the rear
seat on the left side of the coach. A
minute or so before the train stopped
at the Manhattan station he would
leave his seat. He would stand at the
door till it opened. Then he would
spring forth and make for the stair
way.
For while / puzzled over this
strange eccentricity in the committing
behavior Of the young man with the
long legs. Why did he select the
front coach? Why did he elect to
sit in the rear seat? Was it just a
habit? Had he formed blind affec-
ton for that coach and that seat? ]
had read somewhere that animals
and primitive people sometimes cult

first glance appeared to be without
reason or cause. Then some scientist
would come along and after studying
the matter for fifty or sixty years

pages explaining the why and where

the riddle of the young man ] noticed
certain vague conformations in the
crowds which entered the "7;07" at
various stations between Ridge Park
and New York. Certain people would
enter certain coaches, morning after
morning, and select certain seats, just
as the young man with the long legs
did. Day after day | saw sensible
