Though a detailed count was not made, the list as compiled by tha passengers who were curious ran about aa follows: One , band bag, filled to tha bursting point; one lesther suit case, weU loaded; one pair of curtain poles,' unwieldy and awkward; one pair of 'window shades. ditto; seven small packages of various aha pea two hat boxes, one straw , grip with an ancient leather handle, one shopping basket well filled, one broom, one hamper and one lunch basket. This -was not tha entire list, for the passengers got mixed In the count be fore they finished, and tha totals varied from SO to 48. The southbound train cams and hissing In, the passenger bawled out In a meaningless babel about tha places one couU get to on tha train, and the woman or bundles prepared1 to embark. Sha summoned v two porters and pressed on them curtain poles, ham per, lunch basket, suit case, atraw grip, curtains, , broom and hat boxea Tbs rest of the assortment she tried to carry, and with the assistance of. a small boy and another shopper, managed to convey tha collection to th train gate., Tha porters paaaed through with their loada, the friendly woman who was helping want to tha other gate to Teach her train, and tha small boy became entangled In tha crowd. The heroine deposited her load and searched for her ticket After prying into every. thing that might hold a ticket she came to tha conclusion that It was bundle guarded by the small boy. He waa found, but the ticket was "tiot forthcoming. - A hurry-up call was sent to the two porters,, who by this time had reached tha train and left their bundles under the charge of the train porter. A continued ? search by ' the avaUabla depot population did not dis close tha ticket In any of the bundles over by tha train, and the heroins looked In , dismay across at tha debris that was left of her several belongings. - Just before tha train was sounding tbs last warning toot the other woman pushed through the crowd and banded her distressed friend her ticket which had been tucked In a parcel carried off by the woman who wanted to help. The mall boy's load was secured, the load of tha woman who came to tha rescue waa added to the pile and the entire assortment collection, gathering and compilation was boosted, shoved, der ricked, hauled and lifted to tha sleep ing car by all tha loose porters about the depot Aa tha train pulled out a distressed woman poked her head out of tha rear door of the Bleeping car and cried to the exhausted porters gathered about - the track. "There Is a half a doien handkerchiefs done up in a dolly and wrapped In a piece of blue paper somewhere. Bend them to my address and'' -tha cry of the dining room man and tha shriek of the whistle drowned the parting words of tha afflicted shopper.
