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.
