only a thing of tho past, most

LOST ON THE
IE MEET
WIS SAW n stranger on the street. His fnco was smooth, his clothes '
wore heat. We recognized hnnonth his tnn some earmarks of a i
railroad mnn. j
Hill Jenkins, wise guy that hd is. wlio knows 'most cv'ry Btrnngor's j
biz, soon had us all in realms of joy becnuso he know him when a boy.
Ho said the stranger Is a spy who's hunted 'round bIiico Inst July, and
traced the bank of cv'ry rill for railroad tormlnnls for Hill. He snltl tho
fellow used to he a branch on cv'ry railroad tree. He'd been n confldeii-j
tlnl man for Dick and Harry, Jim and Dan. He'd been an agent In his!
dny for "Burlington" and "Santa To." He'd held "Groat Northern" In
his hand, and built "Xorth Western" 'cross the land. In fact, ho said this
wondrous man Intends to build a mighty span of steel and concrete 'cross
our Bny. Tho work bcgliiB 'most nny day.
We Bought this railroad magnato out, and asked htm to dispel nil
doubt, to lot us In on anything, to mnko our hopeful spirits sing. Wo
wined him, dined him, Bang his prnlso throughout tho gladsome summer i
days. Wo drank his health In cv'ry tin of Bourbon, Muscatel, and Ql .
But, when, nlns! ho spoko one day, ho srild, "I've nothing much to say. '
I've cut tho railroad business out, and don't Just know whnt they're,
about."
Oh! friends of mine, how sweet Is hope. How dear each particle of'
dope. Lot's not let disappointment rise. loot's keep at work and Just,
