to Be advanced. having served on the
freight for several years. The Supsrin-
tendent agreed with him. and told him
the change should be made the very
next week. And IL WAS made. The
Superintendent . day or two after took
q seat in the rear end OF one Of the
coaches to see hos the new conductor
would take to business. and pretty soon
the sficial danced into the door. cap on
his ear. sleeves pushsI mp. and q half.

shouted, elm the high mucky muck

There was something novel and e1hil'
aratins in his style, but yet the Super
intendent called the conductor up stairs
the next day and told him that he was
the best man in America to run q freight
train. and that he should have to pro.
mote him backwards. He was too tai.
