A GHOST C0M3IUTER.
Tho wind drove llio lmil ond Bloot
Yiolontly ngainst tlio car windows, nud
what with its melancholy howling, ac
companying tho incessant rattlo nf tho
panes, I could hardly hear tho shrieks
of the locom.itivu's whistlo an tho train
plunged through tho dense dnikness. It
was a html night to travel, and I did
not wonder that tho car wan empty savo
for the man who had Just seated himself
beside me. Such being tho cose, lujw
ever, I could not Irat feel surprised Hint
this singlo other passenger should have
crowded into my sent when ho might
have hud a whole one to himself. I can
not sny that I wns indignant, for though
ho forced mo to move toward tho draf tr
window ho was company, and I hnd felt
lonely from tho very beginning of tho
forlorn trip on tho midnight express.
Then, too, he was such a mild, harm
less looking fellow.
I glanced toward him, intending to
open tho conversation, when mycyo fell
upon tho time table in which ho was
deeply engrossed. It was a thumb worn
piece of paper, and no wonder, for
across tho top I rend in big black type,
"To go into effect on April 1, 1SK4. "
It seemed, strange that a man should
consult a train schedulo 1 1 years old.
My cnrioKity was arouHcd, and I drew
my own time table from my pocket and
hold it toward him.
"Pardon mo, sir, but perhops this
will be of more nso to you. Where are
you going?"
"Thank you," he replied sadly, "bnt
you cannot help mo. I would that you
could, tin mull. You see, I am bound for
Tutherford, but it seems that I will
never get there,"
"Tutherford!" I exclaimed. "Why,
yon are on the wrong trainl"
I knew this place well ns one of tho
prettiest little suburban villages on the
line of the New York, Lackahudson and
Western, but I also was aware that this
train never stopped there nnd that we
had long nince passed it,
"That is just the devil of it, " replied
my companion vigorously. A melan
choly smile pnssed over his pale face,
and then he added: "I've been getting
on the wrong train for 1 1 years. But
excuse me, sir, you are sitting on my
beefsteak. "
Curiosity now gave place to astonish
mont. My first impulse was to believe
that I had a madman for a companion,
but his every look belied such an idea.
Every detail of his clothing denoted ex
treme neatness and self respect. Ho was
a small, slender man, with a slightly
hald head and clean shaven face. At
his foet 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 I have
ruined it I was not aware that I was
sitting on anything. "
"Little wonder," he replied quietly.
"No human being could feel that steak.
And as for injuring it, I purchased it
11 years ago and have been trying to
get it home to Tutherford ever since.
To make things plain, that la a phan
tom beefsteak, " '
I broke out into a hearty laugh and
exclaimed, "You are either considerable
of a wag, air, or else an idiot "
My fellow traveler drew himself up
and cried hotly; "Do you know whom
you are addressing? I am the late R.
Q. Jones, sir, for many years a leading
citizen of Tutherford, "
"The late R. O. Jones of Tuther
fordl" I retorted, and then I made a
motion to give him a little jovial dig in
the ribs, but to my horror my hand
went right through him and struck the
arm of the seat on his other side. He
smiled I drew back in amazement
I will not attempt to dopiot 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. I could not leave the car, and
then 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 best of terms with my
strange companion.
"I see on travel on a pass, Mr,
Dookboy," said the late R. O. Jones
after our relatiouahip had assumed a
state of mutual ooiifldenoe. "That is
why I made myself 'I' "wn to you. I
uppose you have a pull on this road. "
"My fourth cousin is the wife of the
president of the New York, Lackahud
son and Western," I replied proudly,
for I was not a little raia about this
relatiouship,
"That is food news for roe, " began
" 1 'e R. O. Jones. "You see, Mr.
' , I lorf needed a friend
"cvCi rri. tar I
want to have this train stopped at Tuth
erford just oiioo. "
"What." I cried.
"Yes, stopped nt Tutherford," ho
continued. "I do not wonder nt your
surprise, but then you will not be much
astoiiislipd vheu yon know my reasons.
I have told you my lato name, and jier
haps it will interest you to hear that for
many yean I was an aldcrumn in Tuth
erford a place of no mean importance.
My business was in New York. Every
morning for ten years I left my house
promptly at 8 reached tho station at
8:80 and took the 8:81 for town. At
just 6:18 o'clock in theevening I reach
ed tho Jersey City stntion nnd bonrded
tho train for homo. It so happened that
for tho lost five years of my life I al
ways got on tho third car from the en
gino and took tho third sent from the
rear. It became a habit with me. I was
known and respected on tho road, anil
there was a tacit umlei si Hiding among
tho other commuters lliat liiat place
vhould always bo reserved for mo, ThiH
ti tho sumo car, No. 1)115, and tho very
tninosoat"
"And you aro haunting it?" I asked,
for the light was beginning to break.
"Temporarily and accidentally," re
plied tho late U. O. Jones. "When I
can get this train stopped at Tntherf onl,
I will get (iff and go back to my old
home. Don't yon remenilier seeing in
tho papers about ten years ngo how It.
O. Jones, a prominent citizen of Tuth
erford, succumbed to an attack of henrti
failure brought on by overexertion
Whllo trying to catch the D:18?"
"Oh, yes, I recall that well. A very
sad case, indeed" Of course I didn't,
but that didn't matter. ,
The Into It. O. Jones looked grateful.
"That was when I becaiuo a ghost,"
ho said "A few days Inter I received
my orders to proceed to Tutherford and
haunt my old home. There have always
been strange nnd confused ideas exist
ing about Khosts. These impressions,
that wo do everything in a higglely
plgglety way aro all erroneous decid
edly erroneous. I couldn't go sailing
back honio in any way but an orderly
ouo by train, just ns I did when I was
not lata Ami, moreover, custom re
quired that I should travel on car No.
880, tli ird seat from the roar, as I hnd
douo day in and day out for years. So I
went to tho station with my phantom
umbrella, bundles and beefsteak.
Promptly at 6:18 I got off tho furry,
stopped at tho newsstand which is run
for the php'itom commuters and pur
chased a sporting extra of a phantom
evening pnper, repaired to the train
shod and got on this cur, No. 886, and
took this very seat But tho train did
not start as usnal. It was midnight be
fore we left the station, and then, to
my horror, wo whirled through Tuther
ford and never made a stop until we
reached tho junction 00 miles west I
will not dwell- on my sorrow when I
realized my prediouuient Car 886 had
been shifted to the midnight express,
and until it could be stopped at Tuther
ford I was doomed to liuunt this an com
fortable seat instead of my own pretty
suburban homo.
"Years have passed since then, and
every night I have got on the same car
and sat in this same seat, oftentimes
crowded between two men, who could
not see mo, always doomed to go whirl
ing by tho familiar little stntion with
out a speck of a chance of getting off.
Did you ever travel in' the same car seat
with two fut women with babies and
bundles?"
"No," I replied "But I can conceive
more pleasant positions."
"Yet such hits many a time boon my
fato," continued the late R G. Jones,
in spectral mourufulness. "I have trav
. eled with noisy drummers, with chat
tering Italians, opium smelling Chinese,
with every possible kind of man 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 Tutherford' Ho refused
absolutely, and not only that, '.;j- de
manded my ticket I got out my com
mutation card, seven years out of date,
and handed it to him. He asked me if I
thought he was a fool and used very
violent and personal language. When I
told him I could not pay, he declared
that he would put me 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 rain watched a chance to speak to
some one who has a pull on the road.
They have been wearisome years to me,
and when tonight the longed for oppor
tunity came I seized it I 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 filled
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 sad one, and
I will do what I can to alleviate your
sufferings. I see what you want You
winh to nave this car stopped at Tuther
ford so that you can get off the train
like an onllnary phantom and obey
your instructions to haunt your own
house.' 1 ' '
, A look of Joy and expectancy came
over the phantom's faoe. ' .
"You have my word that I will use
ir influence with my cousin, the presi
liit of the New York, buIuthudsA
til Western, to bare this tr' iV" I
t i c -i it T: rfri. -1 xZk:j,
such steps as soon ns 1 get back to
town. "
"It is almost daylight, and we lire
nppruiohlng tho junction, where I al
ways get Ur," Buid tho Into R O.
Jones. His voice wns husky, lint a
gleam of Ik y nnd happiness transfused
hisface. "I must lenvo you now. It is
Jirobublfl that I will never lie able to re
fSty your kindness, Mr. Doekboy, but
Jiji will hnve the consciousness of hav
ing dc mo n noble deed in freeing a phnn
t'liu commuter from an awful thrall."
Then lie gathered up his phantom
bundles and walked down tho aisle, but
before ho reached the door ho had pass
fd from my sight
I kept mr word to him. Mnny were
tho subterfuges I used to hnve the mid
night express stopped at Tutherford,
bnt I succeeded, thanks to my cousin,
tho presidcLtof the road, and the knowl
edge that Cj respectable and lute R. G.
Jones hns at last got off that train at
his late place of residence after 1 1 long
yean of travel has been to mo a source

full of ox wagons, some from distances
occupying days to traverse, nnd the buy

"Allnmnchta,"says the Boor. "I did
