One night after a particularly vex- | hash-house, ate quickly, and hastened to bed exhausted. 1 had slept perhaps two hours when | < 1 was awakened by some one pound- |, ing on my door. “What's the matter?” 1 drawled sleepily. ! o “It's Red,” the call-boy’s voice gounded over the transom, “you've got to go north on a fruit train.

He nodded. “But I'm not going to fire you,” he added. “A 60-day rest will do, I think. It will give you a chance to realize that orders are orders.” I rode to Smoky River on No. 37, and on arriving at my destination, proceeded to headquarters of the Sand Mountain division of the P, F. & S, W. 1 applied for a place, but was informed by the master mechanio 1 that they had hired a number of new \m engineers and were not then in need | ¢ of any more Top, when I met an old acquaintance, who told me that the P. . & 8.

One of the road's new engineers, Slim Post, was our hogger. 3’ We made very good time, clubbing | them down Sand mountain at a furl- ous rate. Slim knew th t we were do- ing this and afterwards boasted that he could hold any train on that incline | with the air. We I ied at him, and one old- timer, Williams, warned him that he had better ba careful, for he might not ghow us more than once My next trip out of was made on No, 74, seat of the 857 At South Smoky River, the S, M. & S. crossed our ralls. It was the usual order of things to pass the crossing at about five miles an hour. | I noticed with some wonder that | we were making more than ten miles when we clicked over the crossing, and my amazement Increased when Slim dumped us over the summit of Smoky River with Slim on the Sand mowntain at almost twenty miles.
