A GHOST COMMUTER. The wind drove the hail and sleet violently against the ear windows, and what with its melancholy howling, ac companying the incessant rattle rf the panes, 1 could hardly hear the shrieks •of the locomotive’s whistle as tin train plunged through the douse darkness. It ■was a hard night to travel, and I did not wonder that the cur was empty save for the man who had just seated himself besideAne. Such being the ease, how over, I could not hut feel surprised that this single other passenger should have crowded into my seat when he might have had a whole one to himself. I can not. say that I was indignant, for though he forced me to move toward the drafty window lie was company, and 1 had felt lonely from the very beginning of the forlorn trip on the midnight express. Then, too, he was suoli a mild, harm less looking fellow. I glanced toward him, intending to ■open the conversation, when my eye fell •upon the time table in which he was deeply engr<ssed. 11, was a thumb worn piece of paper, and no wonder, for across the top I read in big black type, -“To go into effect on April 1, 1884. ” It seemed strange that a man should -consult ,a train schedule 11 years old. My curiosity was aroused, and I drew my own time table from my pocket and held it toward him. “Pardon me, sir, but perhaps this will be of .more use to you. Where are you going?” “Thank you, ” he replied sadly, “but you -cannot help me. 1 would that you could, though. You see, I am bound for Tutlierford, but it seems that I will never get there.” “Tutherford!” I exclaimed. “Why, you are on the-wrong train!” I knew this; place well as one of the prettiest little suburban villages on the line <rf the New York, Lackahudsou and Western, hut 1 also was aware that this train never stopped there and that we had long since passed it. “That is just the devil of it,” replied my -companion vigorously. A melan choly smile passed over his pale face, suxl then he added: “I’ve been getting < the wrong Unin for 11 years. But -excuse me, sir, you are sitting on my beefsteak. ” Curiosity now; gave piece to astonish ment. My fust, impulse was to believe that 1 had a madman for a companion, but his every look belied such an idea. Every detail <4 his clothing denoted ex treme neatness and self respect. He was a small, slender man, with a slightly bald head anil clean shaven face. At his feet were two large, neatly done up bundles; at. his side and partly under me was a third parcel, wrapped in brown paper, which .I had no reason to believe contained meat. “A thousand pardons,” I said, rising so that he could rescue his steak from destruction. “I am afraid that 1 have ruined it. I was not aware that I was sitting on anything. ” “Little wonder, ” he replied quietly. “No human Iteiug could feel that steak. And us for injuring it, 1 purchased it 11 years ago and have been trying to get it home to Tutlierford ever siuee. To make things plain, that is a phan tom beefsteak. ” 1 broke t>ut into, a hearty laugh and exclaimed, “You are either considerable of a wag. sir, or else.au idiot, ” My fellow traveler drew himself up and cried hotly: “Do you know whom you are addressing? lam the late H. G. Jones, sir, for many years a leading citizen of Tutlierford. ” “The late R. G. Jones of Tuther fonl!” 1 retorted, aiul then I made a motion to give him a little jovial dig iu the ribs, but to my horror my hand wont right through him ami struck the arm of the seat on his other side. He smiled 1 drew back in amazement 1 will not attempt to depict my sen sations. Wonder gave way to utter as tonishment, astonishment to horror, horror to fright But this last emotion passed, for I knew that there was no escape. 1 could not leave the car, and tin'll the very appearance of the ghost was so peaceable and respectable- that, a sense of security came to me. Reason prevailed, and I soon found myself trav eling on the In st of terms with my strange companion. “I sec you travel on a pass, Mr. Dockboy, ” said the late U. G. Jones after our relationship had assumed a state of mutual confidence., “That is why I made myself know n to you. I suppose you have a pull on this road.” “My fourth cousin is the wife of the president of the New York, Lsckiihud ou and Western,” I replied proudly, fur 1 was not a little vain about tlii. relationship. "That is good news for me, ’’ began the late R. G. Jones. “You see, Mr Dockboy, I have long needed a friend with ome influence on the road, for 1 want to have this train stopped at Tutli erford just once. ’ ’ "What!” I cried. “Yes, stopped at Tutherford, ” he continued. “Ido not. wonder at your surprise, but then you will not be much astonished when you know my reasons. 1 have told you my late name, and per haps it will interest you to hear that for many years I was an alderman iu Tuth erford—a place of uo mean importance. My business was in New York. Every morning for ten years 1 left my house promptly at 8 :22, reached the station at | 8 :30 and took the 8:31 for town. At I just 15:18 o’clock in the evening I reach ed the Jersey City station and hoarded the train for home. It so happened that for the last five years < f my life I al ways git on the third car from the en | gine and took the third seat from the - rear. It became a habit with me. 1 was I known and respected on the road, and j there was a tacit understanding among the other commuters that that place should always be reserved for me. This is the same- car, No. 335, aud the very same seat. ” “And you are haunting it’” I asked, for the ligh . was beginning to break. “Temporarily and accidentally,” re plii ■d the l*te R. G. Jones. “When I can get this train stopix-d at Tutherford, I will get off and go hack to my old home. Don’t you remember seeing in the papers about ten years ago how R. G. Jones, a prominent citizen of Tuth erford, succumbed to an attack of heart failure brought on by overexertion while trying to catch the, 5 :18?” ‘ • Oh, yes, I recall that well. Avery sad case, indeed.” Of course I didn’t, but that didn’t matter. The late R. G. Jones looked grateful. “That was when I became a ghost,” he said. “A few days later 1 received my orders to proceed to Tutherford and haunt my old home. There have always been strange and confused ideas exist ing about ghosts. These impressions, that we do everything iu a higglety pigglety way are all erroneous—decid edly erroneous. I couldn’t go sailing back home in any way hut au orderly one- -by train, just as I did when I was not late. And, moreover, custom re quired that I should travel on ear No. 33.5, third seat from the rear, as I had done day in and day out for years. So I went to the station with my phantom umbrella, bundles and beefsteak. Promptly at 6:12 I got off the ferry, stopped at the newsstand which is run for the phantom commuters and pur chased a sporting extra of a phantom evening paper, repaired to the train shed and got on this car, No. 885, and took this very seat. But the train did not start as usual. It was midnight be fore we left the station, and then, to my horror, we whirled through Tuther ford and never made a stop until we reached the junction 60 miles west. I will not dwell on iny sorrow when I realized my predicament Car 336 had been shifted to the midnight express, and until it could be stopped at Tuther ford I was doomed to haunt this uncom fortable seat instead of my own pretty suburban home. “Years have passed since then, aud Avery night I have got on the same ear And sat iu this same seat, oftentimes crowded between two men, who could not see me, always doomed to go whirl ing by the familiar little station with out a speck of a chance*of getting off. Did you ever travel in the same car seat with two fat women with babies and bundles?” ‘ ‘No, ’ ’ I replied. * ‘But I can conceive more pleasant positions.” “Yet Ruch has many a time been my fate,” continued the late R. G. Jones, in spectral moumfulness. “I have trav eled with noisy drummers, with chat tering Italians, opium smelling Chinese, with every possible kind<-f mau that it is unpleasant for a sensitive man like I was to sit in the same seat with. Once, in desperation, I made myself visible to the conductor and pleaded with him to stop the train at Tutlierford. He refused absolutely, and not only that, he de manded my ticket I got out my com mutation ciird, seven years out of date, aiul handed it to him. He asked me if I thought ho was a fool aud used very violent and personal language. When I told him I could not pay, lie declared that he would put mo off the train. ‘Please leave me off at Tutherford, ’ I said foolishly. I have regretted those words greatly, for the man saw that nothing would suit me better than to get off the train, and he carried me to the end of the line. Since then I have in vain watched a chance to speak to someone who has a pull ou the road. They have boon wearisome years to me, anil when tonight the longed far oppor tunity came I seized it. 1 saw you had a pass. ” “My dear Mr. Jones,” I said, fori was deeply affected by the story of my companion, who, with his eyes tilled with cloudlike tears, was now leaning eagerly toward me, awaiting my reply, ‘ ‘you have my sympathy. I have heard much of ghosts, but you are the first I ever met. Your story is a sail one, and I will do what I can to alleviate your sufferings. I see what you want. You wish to have this ear stopped at Tuther ford so that you can get off the train like an ordinary phantom aud obey your instructions to haunt, your own house. ” A look of joy and expectancy came over the phantom’s face. “You have mv word that I will use my influence with my cousin, the presi dent of the New Y'ork, Lackahudsou anil Western, to have this train stopped just once at Tutherford. 1 will take such steps as soon as I get back to town. ” “It is almost daylight, and we are approaching the junction, where I al ways get off,” said the late R. G. Jones. His voice was husky, but a gleam of hope and happiness transfused his face. “I must, leave you now. It is probable that 1 will never be able to re pay your kindness, Mr. Dockboy, but you will have the consciousness of hav ing done a noble deed iii freeing a phan tom commuter from an awful thrall. ” Then ho gathered up his phantom bundles and walked dowu the aisle, but before lie reached the door he had pass ed from my sight. I kept my word to him. Many were the subterfuges I used to have the mid night express stopped at Tutherford, but I succeeded, thanks to my cousin, the president of the mid, and the knowl edge that the respectable aud late R. G. Jones has at - last got off that train at his late place of residence after 11 long years of travel has been to me a source of continued satisfaction.—New York Sun. TWO WOMEN AT A LUNCH. They Monopolized the Koom and Obtained • Their Money** Worth. In lower Broadway there are “quick lunch” rooms where busy men resort at midday for a light meal. At these places men, without removing hats or outer coats, sit on high stools at higher coun ters or stand in front of buffets and help themselves to the food arranged for their convenience. Women are seldom seen in these rooms, but occasionally a slight sensation is caused among patrons and waiters by their appearance. While I was seated at one of the coun ters the other day two women with sev en packages of various sizes entered and while five score or more of eyes were on them stepped up to the counter and asked what the menu was. A polite waiter answered the question by rat tling off the names of a couple of dozen dishes. “Wo will have coffee,” answered one of the women as they climbed onto stools that didn’t allow their feet to touch the floor and spread out their packages on the counter. “I have changed my mind and will take chocolate instead of coffee, ’ ’ said one when the waiter came with the cof fee. With a smile on his averred face the waiter retraced his steps, and when he returned with the chocolate found the women had opined one of the seven packages and displayed six homemade sandwiches. “Will you give ps a plate and knife?” asked one. “And some butter?” requested the other. The plate, knife and butter were set before them. “Do you furnish pickles with coffee?” asked one. The answer was a dish of small choice pickles set in front of them. “Some water, please?” came from the same woman. “And napkins?” said the other. They received both water and nap kins, and all for 5 cents apiece.—New York Herald. WHAT AN ADJUSTER CAN DO. A Drummer Learned Something That He Did Not Know Before. The traveling mau: “I never knew just how colossal a chump I am until the other day, when I went out with a railroad adjuster to settle a claim for damages against his company. An old farmer had tried to use a crossing just as a locomotive needed it. The result was that his horses wire killed, the wagon knocked into firewood, the har ness scattered for half a mile along the track and his pretty young wife so bro ken up that she will never walk again. Well, sir, you should have seen that ad juster do business. He gave his victim a big cigar, came out strong on free sil ver, jollied the farmer into thinking wheat would bring a big price next sea son, invited him to take a ride ou their railroad whenever he wanted to and then slid into business. “The horses, harness and wagon were discussed, and a valuation Yvas agreed upon. The farmer was then ready to sign a receipt in full, hut the adjuster knew his business, and, after throwing the old man into convulsions with a few good stories, suddenly suggested, as though it had just come to his mind, that it would be too bad not to pay something for the pretty wife, who wfcs doomed to spend the rest of her years in bed. The farmer Yvould be ‘gol durned’ if he’d thought of that, but guessed $26 was not too high it figure. He was jol lied down to sls, and when wo made our escape I was blushing from tip to tip. “Ou the way back that fellow began talking about investing some money with him in a little scheme of his. I just made sure that my watch and pock etbook were still with me, jumped OY-er the front wheel and walked five miles to ilie city. If I’m ever wrecked on a railroad, what’s left of me will have a man with a gun to keep adjusters uYvay. ” —Detroit Free Press. Cia# From Sawdust. There are several large lumber mills in Deseronto, Canada, and the town is partially lighted by gas obtained from saYvdust from them. The sawdust is charged in retorts which are heated by a wood fire. The gas from these retorts passes into a series of coils and thence into the purifiers, Yvliich are similar to those used for coal gas. Lime is used as a purifying agent. The plant is not a very large one, and it only turns out 540 meters of gas per day, for which about two tons of sawdust are required. A man and boy furnish all the labor needed at the Yvorks. The best quality of gas conies from resinous weeds. One hundred kilogrammes of sawdust leave a residue of 20 kilogrammes of char coal, and the gas in an ordinary burner gives an illumination of about 18 can dle power.—Engineering and Mining Journal.
