Edward Snyder, Who En-

Passage had been purchased straight
through 20 Philadelphia by the parents.
and the conductor on the train from 81 Paul
received instructions to put the children
CIT at Chicago and see that they made the
proper change OF cars.
Edward, however, was boss OF the trim
inasmuch as all the money had been in
trusted to him. This fuffy-haired smiling
youngster acquitted himself with such hon
ors that the betting was even among the
other travellers that he was either a little
prince travelling incognito or else he and
his sister were Juvenile members of the
stage' nc bought the meals. tipped the
walters and porters like a veteran and saw
that his sister had everything thai che
wanted. In fact, he became a gland favor
lite with every one and he was beginning
to feel as If he had lived on a train all his
life. Thelma, who is a little more than
two years older than her brother and there
fore treats him in n more or less r,otbo,A,
manner was continually on the watchout
that Edward did not do anything rash In
answer to one of her rebukes he said. "Oh
don't be so fussy. This is the life"
The telegram which announced the kid
dies coming to relatives in the citv was
delayed for some reason, and so there wa q
