Sal and the McFlinns on a Western-bound train voyage
A correspondent recalls a Western bound journey in a March timetable, meeting Sally Inglewood McFlinn through letters. The narrator recounts misdirections about Inglewood’s name, rustic home life, and a comic cast of brothers, with vivid sketches of the journey and a humorous courtship frame. The piece shifts to a unrelated animal tale from the New York Sun and a farm animal opinion piece, concluding with a contrasting note on mule versus horse utility in farming.

A man named Northumberland, on Randolph Street, is approached by a well dressed stranger with a large blonde moustache who invites him to a Havana lottery scam. In Chicago, at No 47 Clark Street, room 6, the trio run a bunko scheme, cashing a check and luring Northumberland into further drawings for a commission. He pockets part of the money, but exits, wary of the ruse as others linger at the scene.
