briv slorj did you ew hear of if railway president running aa fireman on an engine well i know one who did and tf youve got time to listen to it i will ell yon the story now tcuile t smoke thia cigar yon were kind enough to give me it was in uie summer of s that i was firing on a singletrack line that- runs up f rota junction city hroagli georgetown a matter of 1 10 mile the line was owned mosuy by a man named thcdford who was president and superintendent all in one- i had boeu firing on the line for wo yean back all the time with ona driver bob honler by name and a finer man never lived i suppose it would be only natoral for me to speak well of bob any- wa for i was cloan head over ears in jove with hi pretty daughter molly and was onlji wailing for a bit of rise m my pay o make her sirs jim jfartin though i didnt see any cnacoe far that rise where t was i didnt like lo leave and go on an other line for that wouiduke mc away from molly one day bob says o me jim aint yria and molly never going to get married just as boon aa i can get my rise saysj i bat i dont see how imoingio get itjj here why dont yoa go sod ask billy says he yoa sec billy was always what wc called mr thcdford behind his back of coarse for i warrant yoa we were mighty polito to his face he wont do anrthing ftr me says i for yoa know either one of the cleaners up lo goorgctowni would be glad enough o jump into my place and he aint agjiug to give me a ris2 just to please raj well says bob h wont do any hurt to try it soneit day i washed up and went o the companys office and asked far mr thed ford- altera few minutct he sent word to me that he would see mc and in i went there he sal a large heavilybuilt man with big side whiskers and a pair of gold- rimmed glasses on his nose what is it my man im very busy says he ho i up and old him what i wanted how much arc yoa getting now he asked fortyfive dollars a month says i then he pursed up bis lips and hemmedj and hawed a lilue nd says i dont see how we can give you any- thing more my good fellow yoa see yours is not a very responsible notation merely one hat requires a little bodily strength and we can find pleifty of men who would be only oo glad to take jyour place at that salary with that he turned to a letter he was writing and i knew i had no more business here- i tell yoa if el sore to be told it didnt take mnch to know how to fire an engine and i came near throwing my fob up arid trying to get it on another line but molly persuaded me to hold on a little longer kowi before i come to the particular point of this yarn i want to telfyoua little about the line i have said it was a singletrack one running from junction city to georgetown the latter place was a little towitof five or six hundred inhabi tants but in summer- a great many chicago people came up there and so i suppose the line paid anyhow thedford who had a summer place there was rich enough to run it for himself alone if ho wanted to t bob lived at georgetown and i boarded with him oar tnps began at eight in the morning and we generally ran the hundred and ten miles in fiwe hours then at three in the afternoon ire came back getting home at eight assoon as we reached the roundhouse at georgetown oar days work was over for the cleaners took the engine then cleaned and polished her and laid the fire all ready to start the next morning 1 1 well as i said thong on to my job hoping that something woald turn up that would give me ilif i till one day in august the whole summer had been uncommon hot but that day went a head of anything i ever satv of courss while we tfere run ning wchad o breeie but the minnte we stopped it seemed aa if- we wero in a fur- paoeh and nacqmllir working as we were oeaij obt nrefdixlntdroingb otf therhome trip boo wa taken sick and had all he coald do to hold cat till wo got to tho home station when lie got home as soon as possible after tho train was emptied i ran tho engine to the round house expecting to go straight home and wash op bat when i ran the engine in the first thing i saw wa ray two cleaners laid out on a heap 61 ashes dead drank certainly take mo until midnight to el mochino in proner trim for tho next dtya run and a hot groasy job it was in any weather but on suoh a night as that it vat frightful to think of it however there was no help for it and i started in i had barely made a beginning when i heard somo one coming in at the door looking up i saw it was billy thedford in a very excited voice ho aikod where hunter was home i- said and so sick ho cant hold his head up heavens ho said i shall bo ruin ed r then ho went on to say that if lie wasnt in chicago the next day somo deal i think ho called it would fall through and it would cost him a quarter of a million theres a train goes through junction city at elevenfive thatll get yoa to chicago in 16 says i what goodll that do to mo says he ive been away for two days and only just now got the telegram if honter was here he might get me down but as it is i may as well go home and let the money go mr thedford said i bob is sick but 1 can run this machine to junction city- in time to connect with the train you want bat yoa will have to fire for me as ray two cleaners arc drunk as you sec and there isnt another man in this village knows the engine from tho tender hardly i hope thai i have baen forgiven that lie for there were two or thra men that conld have fired all right but it struck me all of a sadden that here was a fine cliancc to get even with billy and let him sec whether it took any knowledge how t fire an engine for a hundred and ten miles run it so happened that wc had just wooded up on the home trip nl a little station three miles from georgetown so we had plenty of fuel abroad to make the run with cm you do it 1 says he ilemember il is a hundred and en miles and if is eightthirty now to you have only two hours and a half to make the run that gen erally takes double that time i can do il says i if you will janfip abroad pall oil your coal and do just as i ell you ko sooner siid than done and in ten- minates we had the old engine ou tntaru- labls turned round and were olt if the road was rough when we ran at our usual speed that night making double time it was awful as we flew round the carves it seemed as if we should leave the track atfcvery torn of the drivers and the pooria machine rocked and swiyed so hat usi as i was o it i could hardly keep my seat by the lever u it was hard on me what must it have been to poor old billy i could hardly keep from laughing in his face as i watched him and heard him groan as he handled the heavy- sticks we used for fuel the heat of the weather added to that of the furnace and the anuscnl work made him look as if he vm in turkish bath the water ran down his face his stiff white collar hung down oa his shoulders like a wet rug and his beautiful smooth shirt bosom looked as if someone had thrown a pail of dirty water over him his hands were torn and rat from hand ling the wood and take it altogether he was the most ualikclyioofciog railway president i ever saw once in a while i had to shoal to him to lay the wood more even in the furnace and would tell hjm he would get the knack of it in time- whenever he tried to rest i told him we were losing atcam and if be wanted to catch hat train he mustnt idle over the work if i hid thought to hitch a car on when we started wc should have run much emoglhcr but il was too lata to think of that now tnd to on we rushed now t broach woodlands now past green fields larchiog first toneetdc then to toother until i cxpecled every minaie to land wrong side up in ihe diiov however luck was with as that night aud we palled up at junction city at jait eleven poor old billy coald hardly climb down from the eugino bat he managed to g up oat come down to my office si two oclock next saturday i learned aftfrwsrd that finding the chicago train was behind tme was behind time he hunted ap a clothing 6 bop and rigged himself out o as to look lite a civil- ized mill which he dijot aben he left me i managed to find a fireman who was willing to make the ran back with me and i finally got home at ibree oclock and finding the cleaners a i j i lie sobered up got to bed as soon as poesibfe for i was clean played out i told bob about my trip next day and thought he would die laughing to think of old billy plijtng fireman but ali lie said was im afraid thatll telllo yoar hash jim for he will find out that yoa worked him mora thin was needed the next saturday at two oclock i re ported at the presidents office wondering whether i was going to l rewarded for my extra work or kicked out for my impa- dence when i entered the office there bat the old man spick and span as ever and show- ing no s ins of his hard work well young man says he yoa i helped me out the other night bat i would net to through he stmo experience again for en thousand dollars at the same lime i think you were irjing to get even with me for uo doing what yoa askcx about your salary and i have concluded that this line can dispeuse with your tor vices at lui my heart went down into my boots for i can ell you it isnt an easy thing to get a new job when yoa cant bring a recommendation from your last place then he went on to say j i have a loiter here from the super intended of the chicago and western asking mo if i oan recommend them a driver who has a sharp eye and a cool head to mo their new fast night express i have written ia reply thst i otu recommend such a man junes martin who will report for service the firht of september the pay will be one hundred dollars a month i miy add to yoa privately that i shall never apply to yoa for the position of flrej man good day rir t thats all there is to toy story holly and i were married and went to cbicagc to live i look tho new train and have brought her mon time every trip ive ran eo yoa can ece lvo a pretty good record with the
