that ho had tn some way lost hts haL
Evidently he Imagined that tt was on the
floor or th« ground, for he walked all
over the depot, all over the sidewalk, and
down tho street as far as Mulberry, with
hla head bent down as If expecting to find
the hat In his pathway. For along time
hla actions were such as to excite curt
ostty, nobody ever dreaming why he wai
doing so curiously, and Anally I asked
him what ho had lost It was the first
time. 1 suppose, that any one had asked
him the question, and he looked at me for
some time and said: 'Why don't you set,
I hat. I have lost my hat.' It was then
that I saw he had been tapping the tip
(pie. and 1 took his hat off from hts head
I and handed It to him. He slowly exam
ined the hat and assured himself that It
was hla own hat. and then he thanked me
I profusely, saying that he bad been hunt
