A TRAMP'S RIDE.

He Was Found Hidden Under the Pilot of the Locomotive. There are two different kinds oi tramp. There la the Wandering Willie, who travels afoot from place to place, keeping within the circumscribed area of three or four States, and there’s hla brother, who hops from Boston to Pensacola, or from Philadelphia to Chicago. This fellow yearly makes a dozen or two tours of the country, and he accomplishes these flee-llke feats by using the railroads. The Ingenuity be displays In evading the officers Is remarkable, and the risk he runs in tucking himself away under car and caboose are sometimes balr-curllng. A

few days ago a Pennsylvania Railroad engine ran Into the West Philadelphia yard, after making a run from Pittsburg, and stepping to the front of the machine, the engineer discovered a man hidden away under the pilot He had ridden hundreds of miles In this perilous position, and did not seem at all fagged out by his experience. He had crawled In when the engine was standing over an ash pit, and It was necessary to run the engine over another such opening In the track before he could be released.

PERFECTLY SAFE.
