Five minutes later old Tympan, aft- er forty years of service for the A. and 8.. went tumbling down the stairs be cause he was drunk at the Hancock Itreet switch the day the directors went up the line. Palmer had given him a pass home, eighty miles up the road. and then fired him with ten of the words Palmer wasn’t accustomed to using on ordinary jobs. Train No. 8 pulled in while Tympan tumbled the pass on the platform, and he climbed in and found a double seat In the smoker. He knew only that he was out of a job, with a full pint in his coat and Palmer‘s transportation to take him up home, where he could camp down for the winter with the boys. He had threatened that many times. They deserved it for letting him work for a living. “Taking vacation, Tympan?" asked Hennessy of No. 8 when he came through for tickets. Tympan admitted he was 0! for a bit of time up the day and made excellent time for eight miles or more. Then she was stopped by a shaky injector in the mogul. Bit- ters left his caboose and ran up ahead in time to see his redheaded engineer up and anx‘i.’ 1'1. H. Palmer got a master tongue lashing those days from the rank and file. and now that the dismissal had really come Hennessy was no more skeptical than any of the others concerning the general superin. tendent's honest intention of keeping Tympan out of service. Henneasy tried to conciliate Tympan on his next trip through. but the old man lay with his hat over his face. steaming with rage. too angry even to curse. No. 8 was making beautiful work. and Hennessy felt better than usual. He had eight cars with a big load of women and kids and wanted to be on time anyway because it was his lay of! that Saturday and there was an all night game in the “club" at home. “No use,” replied the general s‘uper- intendent. “His name came in two hours ago. I told him to report here next time he got drunk. This finishes -u u--â€"- O-v_,, At Inchburg Hennessy got hi: usual orders. everything all straight, and left on time. The rear brakeman found him just afterward and said: --- A 0‘; _-‘L “illirfib'iut the wild freight went up ahead of us? She's a big one. and it wouldn't surprise me if she got stuck on the Long Misery and new as at Lyshon.” Hennessy knew his man was right. Lyshon station is at the foot of a thirteen mile grade known for good reasons as “the Long Misery.” It a freight got hung there ahead of No. 8. it meant everything bailed up, for the A. and B. is a single line, and the di- rectors won't stand for a siding be- tween Lyshon and Oldtown, the sta- tion at the crest of the Long Misery. Hennessy took the platform at Ly- shon before No. 8's brakes held her and sought the dispatcher in the dingy sta- The G. P.

Though it hurt him to do it, he said: Honneuy was fuming at Lyshon. for he couldn't atrord another second. yet Oidtown had seen nothing of the wild freight. “Better wait for another report from Oldtown." said the operator. But Hennessy was six minutes into then and resolved to so on up the grade. He signaled his engineer and Jumped on the rear.
