My station was near Gordon’s camp, where about e.ghty men employed on the railroad were encamped. The aearest railroad station was at Lake Megantic, twenty-eight miles away. I built a leg cabin and constructed a gate across the road, No man went through the gate without being vac- cmated. I had to deal with a rough class of men, and had some scrapes that would read like a dime novel. My two assistants, a rifle, a revolver, a Newfoundland dog and a suit of clothes with brass buttons, which [ procured after I'd been there awhile, helped me out. You see, nobody tived near, and I had no moral sup- port.

One man, in making such an attempt, was lust m the aight. We heard his cries and started in search ot him, With the nelp ot our Newfoundland, we were ible to rescue him, but we did not arrive at our cabin till four o’clock inthe morning, and the fellow was vearly dead with cold and tatgue.

He goes through the same programme every morning. If he gets into a car and has to stand he holds a pin in each hand. He does } it for luck, so he himself explained to the conductor. This man is an influen- tial officer in one of the biggest corpora- } tions in New York, and everywhere he | is regarded as a conservative, intelli- j gent man. | “L have tried to break myself of this superstition for years," he said to the conductur one day when he seemed to be in the mood for conversation and he and the conductor had the car to them- selves for a longdistance. “It is a silly practice, of course. I realize that; yet somehow if lever faii to have my two pins with ine and don’t come down- town hedged in on each side, everything goes wrong. I keep it up because I'm nervous if I don’t.”” ‘There are some men who will not ride up or down town except with the same conductor daily.

Fifty years after, on uprooting this same tree, a newly converted Mormon found the treasure and took it with him when he inigrated to Utah.
