Before I tell my story I wish to ask

I *sw a thing tluit no other living soul
has seen; they have caged ine behind
the Iron network of thl* window and
have called me mod What right ha*
any one to call me this/ What right,
I ask, what right?
When It all happened I was young.
Now I look down ut the dry hand* on
my arum and say to myself: Meho

shriveled, you, who only yesterday was
Arm of flesh and Juicy as a wittier aie

different then my hmln had ''laws,
talons; I could not shake myself wsjse
from my thought*. And my story /
I was a peddler. Not that I etarted
no; fur from It, liut only ftft^r I nwo
tried many and wore# professions. Nor
did I peddle glass Jewelry and ribbons;
iny Mbock In trade was tildes great,
•tiff bides ready for tanning. I bought
these of HImon the Jew. mid a beaked
vulture he was; he could turn the very
clouds to coppers I would roll up my
bundle, big enough to crush most men.
then sling It on my back and march
off fifty or sixty miles Into the coun
try, and never weary of iny life. I
sang so4oud that the farm folk* could
hear me coming, and would say.
"There l* Nicholas Klcgg, the crazy
peddler.” Even then they called me
that name; but I only lauglusl and
•aug all the hinder, till the w<ssls bel
lowed back and the echoes came rat
tling about my cars like loose atones.
Oh, the Joy of those days when a I
the world wa* mine! Those long days
spent lying In the grass, so still that
the spiders swung over me, tiny shut
tles threaded with silk, and the stormy
nights, with tho green lightning grin
ning down at me from the sky!
It happened one October evening. I
had walked twenty miles that day,
over hard roads, with my pack of
skins, and I was tired, so 1 stopped
awhile to rest myself. The ledge of
rock on which 1 was sitting ran along
the crest of u bill; over It the road
hung, bent and yellow as a broken
at raw', bright where I had come up
and dark where I was to go down.
The thought came to me to look again
ai my bundle of skin*. I unrolled them
and spread them out In front of me.
J lien I BMW mini I
fore, that one of them watt quite
different from the rest, and different
from any I had ever seen It had
been cut here mid there till It had no
particular shape, and It was white—
disgustingly white and tine to he mixed
In with that dirty cow leather. I ex
amined It closer and found sticking to
It a long. light hair. 1 did not like
that still, hairs will blow lightly tilth
er and thither, liut nevertheless 1 was
unco th fort aide.
As I rose to go I glanced about me
and saw, hnnglng opposite each other,
the sun ami moon; the sun small and
ruddy, and the great moon white about
the tree-tops. That Is a sign Of 111
luck, aud It troubled me. so I sold to
myself, "Kor shame, Nicholas Klogg!
A man six feet tall, and strong to hoot,
afraid of a hit of dry skin!"
I shouldered my pack and begun to

1 threw my pack ou the ground and

The Morrmenl ef Trains risllr*
Out on a lllankbnnrg
To the average man a railway time
tattle Is a more or leas perplexing
tiling, from which the desired Informs
tlon can only tie wrested after much
careful study. Even when all seetua
plain sailing, a little asterisk often
carries th* traveler to the liotiom of
the page with diabolical glee, and
there Inform* him that the train upon
which he lias set hi* heart run* only !
on Hunduj a, or does not run Hatur
days, or In some other way upset* his
plans. Hallway men say that lime
tnldea Hro simpler than they were teu
years ago, American* have an ad
vantage over their British cousin* In
this matter, for no more fearfully and
wonderfully compiled book exist* ou
this earth than "Bradshaw's Guide.
Where an American would get a time
table Issued by the road upon which
he wlslu's to travel, an Kiigllshman
always tiles to Bradshaw.
Th eoperntlon of making up n time
table Is a comparatively simple one. us
pursued by most rends. As a rule, th<*
passenger time-table Is made up once
a j'enr, for the summer and winter
season*. In the general superintend
ent’s room, In the Grand Central sta
tion there atnnds a huge time-hoard,
which has made up a great many ta
Ides for the New York Central A
Hudson Hlver railroad. It occupies
half or one aide of the room, and ex
tend* from the floor to the celling.
I'pon It are ruled vertically twenty
four heuvy Mack lines. The space be
tween each of which represents one
hour. Between these are smaller black
lines, which cut the hour up Into
ter-lmura being green and the half
houi'M blue. From the bottom of Ihe
board, extending upward, the names
of all lbe stations .in the line are
printed along the side. They are -it
wirying Intervals, corresponding to the
distance In miles between each station.
From each station a heavy black lino !
runs horizontally across the hoard.
When a table Is made up i, pin is stuck
in the Interval at the bottom of the
bonnj, representing tin* exact time at
which cadi train starts Another pin
Is placed at the Interval representing
the time at which It will arrive V (
string Is then stretched from one pin
to the other and represents the puss
age of the train. The points at which
tin string Intersects the horizontal
lines lending across the Isiarvl from the
different stations represents the time
hi which It will pass each station
