A Night Train in Skanesville Haunts a Nervy Traveler
A writer recounts reluctant travel from Skanesville to Newton Centres to expand a business venture. He endures a late train, crowded carriages, and a suspicious passenger whose unsettling behavior and possible madness unsettles him amid rough tracks and a stern station-master.
Accidental fortunes and a wooden world of disguise
In a train car scene a man describes turning personal misfortune into a living by insuring against accidents. He shows wooden limbs and glass eyes bought with policy payouts, then explains an eye or arm sold for large sums, and contemplates further injuries as a lottery for family gain. The tale shifts to other brief anecdotes from American periodicals.
