(Copyright.) In the smoking compartment of a Pullman on the westbound train were three men. Two of them, one the superintendent of the road and the other an ex-railroad man, were en- gaged in conversation on the merits of railroaders in general, and con- cerning those who maintained their positions through official relationship in particular. The third, a well- | groomed, portly gentleman, sat quiet- ly in the corner, puffed a cigar, and listened. “Railroading isn't a profession; it's 'a science,” the ex-railroad man was protesting. “I've always maintained that these relationship jobs are a detriment to the service, and it’s been my observation that, as a rule, the incumbents never make good.” ! “I've known some exceptions to that rule; in fact, I have one in mind , DOW,” said’ the superintendent. cKay Furniture ( R, The Happy Home Furnisher; Join our Furniture Club A Single Room Your Fiat, or an entire Household Furnished on terms To Suit You 42-nch Yop Golden or Foowed Oak $21.60 Price 42-inch Top. extra wide fee onr line of Baby Carrieges in Wood and heed $14.85 to BABY CARRIAGES $21.00 Of Lakeland Library Table Fumed Ok, With PRICE $11.75 Cane bottom Spindle back Natural Finish Maple Well built f.arge and MIssEs oo noc&‘n Price $1.50 Felt Mattress $9.00 to $18 We also have chewoer if vou want they A can line of § === PHONt 414 Get Votes Here for Big Auto Contest deal ot style; lie more” than made TP for it in a system of his own, that resulted in making the two streaks of rust and a rightof-way one of the best paying little roads in the country. I was a general utility clerk in his office at that time, and sorted out the old man's mail. One morning I came across a letter from Tom Goodell. Tom was a brother of the old man, who had been in the lumber business up North, but who had taken a sud- den notion that he wanted to be a ' rallroad man. The letter was a re- quest for a job. “Joe Kelsoe was trainmaster up at Centerpoint at that time. He had some set notions, like yourself, about Tom's ' kind, and wasn't at all vackward about expressing them. The boys said he cussed a blue streak when he got the old man's letter ordering him to send Tom out braking on the local to learn the road. “Well, everybody knew at once' what that meant, and there was a' general howl all along the line among the trainmen, not official, of course, ' but a lot of talk, and, as usual, that's about where it ended. | “About three months after that, Ed Burton, a freight conductor with a through run, came within an ace of ; getting into a smash-up with an east- bound passenger on an order he mis- | construed, and, of course, went on the carpet. The old man was always mighty square with the boys when they got into trouble, and was dis- vosed to be lenient with Ed, though he had known for some time that Bd wasn't a man to be running a train. “He was oversensitive on the sub- ject, as that kind usually are; so when the old man offered to com- promise by giving him thirty days, and a gravel train when he got back, Ed flared up and quit, taking a pass back to Arlington, where he lived. “That was the only time I ever saw Ed to know him; acd when he came through the office, looking as black as a thunder cloud, I surmised he had been having his troubles in the old man’s little sanctum. “Well, as everybody expected, two ! days later Tom Goodell got his train. “I had been out on the road look- ing up a claim on some stock that had been killed, and happened to be in Tom Goodell's caboose on his first run out. [ altered my opinion of Tom that night and haven changed it since, for he proved to be one of the exceptions I spoke about. “The night operator at Menden had given him orders to pick up some empty stock cars at Arlington, and 1 guess that's all that saved us from about the worst wreck the road ever had, for we would have gone into that open switch at a forty-five-mile clip. “They usually went through from Menden without stopping, that being a part of the run where they made up time. As it was, they had slowed down for the stop, and when they un- expectedly shot in on the siding from the upper end, the engineer had his traln pretty well under control; so the little bump they gave that string of empties did no damage. The switch had been thrown, and the light changed so that it showed white, | they found out about the switchlight, the crew laid it but the down from the caboose to the-edge of thie station that looked an awful lot like Ed Burton. “He sald nothing about this when he came up where the boys were talk- ing, but the next morning he and the old man were closeted for the bet- ter part of an hour. I could tell by his loud tone that the old man was considerably worked up about some- thing, for he always was a quiet sort of a man. All the while Tom was talking in a low, pleading voice. and now and then I could hear Ed Bur- ton's name. “After a while they came out, and the %ld man took his pass-book from his desk and filled out a blank. I could see his hand tremble as he wrote. Tom took it, and hurried out, as I afterward learned, to catch No. 5. He dropped off at Arlington on the opposite side from the station, and when he came back on No. 6 that eve- ning Ed Burton was with him.” The rperimendem screened his eyes with his hand and peered through the window to see the switch-lights of the Centerpoint-yard twinkling in the darkness. “Here's where I get off,” he said. “I suppose Burton was a guest of the state for a term,” pursued the ex- railroad man, also rising. “No, he wasn't," denied the super- intendent, putting on his overcoat. “The old man and Tom fixed it up be- tween them to keep the matter quiet and give Burton another chance. “He wrote to a friend of his some- where out West that he wanted Ed placed, and in a week or so Ed packed up his wife and baby and followed the letter. I never heard of him aft- er that. Well, 800d-by; I'm glad to have met you.” “Same to you. Guess I'll go to bed,” returned the ex-railroad man, follow- ing him out into the Ppassage. The superintendent * descended to the platform and walked toward the tall frame building that housed the division headquarters. At the foot of the long stair he halted a moment and looked at the big mogul that was standing on a siding attached to a :;ng train of all sorts and at made up No. 85, then tu :llmbed to the office on '.h:“l:o::: oor, “No. 85 going to get out on time?” he asked of the night dispatcher, who ° was bending over the train the long instrument table. — “She’s following but I don't know how long she'll stay that way, with a green fireman to feed that ten-wheeler.
