The limited was speeding to California over the snow-blanketed prairies of Iowa. On car Bulwer, the passengers had all retired, and Dixon, the porter, his duties finished, sought the more comfortable warmth of the smoker, where he intended to resume the reading of the book he had brought with him—Finot's "Race Prejudice."
He had just found the passage, and begun to read when a passenger rushed into the room.

"Thank you," said the passenger, relieved, "the porter on my car has gone to bed, and I feared I would be carried beyond my destination."
He then started to leave, but when halfway, turned, and asked, "May I ride in here with you and get off when we get there?"
