The train was heavily laden with merry people either bound for their Eastern homes, or gay holiday shoppers going to the city to purchase the last supply of prese''nts that were to make the coming day the happiest of the year.
The mail-car and express - cars were laden to over?owing with many queer-shaped packages, and even the spaces in the vestibules between the cars had to be utilized for through pouches and packages, so great was the jam of Christmas presents.
