) supply the folks with meat.

So, last Saturday, around six in the evening, being thoroughly dis- gusted with affairs, he trotted down to the tracks near the Kalum street crossing and selected'a nice comfort- able spot between the rails, “At any rate,” seemed to be his idea, “ A fel- low may as well have a sleep while waiting.”

Six-twenty, and, from the east,

Prince never batted an eye. .

A minute or two and the headlight glared around the bend 2s the train came into the station.

“Darn the light, was the attitude; “What's the idea of disturbing me.”
