Three men arrived at the railway station with the intention of catching the last train. As they reached the platform the train began to move out. The men ran for the train, and the guard and a porter bundled two of them into the guard’s van. By tills time the train was going too fast for the third man to get in, and he stood disconsolately on the platform watching it disappear “Hard luck, sir,’’ said the porter. “I’m sorry yon were unable to get on.” “Yes,” replied the man. "My friends will be sorry, too; they were only seeing me off.”
