A mythic scene unfolds near the river where Pan the goat-footed figure treats seven gold reeds as a musical gift. The wind and forest creatures respond to a tuneful procession as Pan binds the reeds into a tether and shares a magical embrace with a swift winged girl, shaping a legend of the springs.

The article also reflects on old railroad conductors, their greed, schemes to skim fares, and how ticket systems and receipts tried to curb theft.
