and George played the dutiiul son to him
in way that would astonish tho young
men Of today.
somehow, nobody knew exactly how
George had managed 10 pick up good
education, aud he had polished it of. so
To speak, by Il two years course at a
commercial college.
kirke began on the Stony Hill Railroad
when he was about twenty -ono or twenty
two years old. First, he was brake
man. This railway business is a regular
succession, and, generally speaking, n
liam has TO work his way up. 1t isn't
often that he works his way up to the
dignity OF conducto: at one step, with
the chance to pocket ten cent Scrips, and
with the privilege Of helping all the good
looking and woll-dressed young ladies
out OF the ears. and letting the hOmely
ones, with babies and baudboxes in their
arms, stumble out as best hey may.
George did his duty SO well that he
was soon promoted to fireman, and after
he had learned the work ings of the ma
chino, he was made engineer and given
an engine.
The engine was ono of the newest and
best on the line. and was called the Fly
away, and George was very proud OF her,
you may we'll bolieve.
tell you, sir, your true engineer-one
that is out and out Tor tho business, aud
feels his respOnsibility-take as much
pride in his engine as the Jockey does IN
his favorite race horse, and would SIT up
nights, or neglcc. MS sweetheart, 10 keep
the br..sscs aud Glagrccs OF bis machine,
SOS you could see your iace in 'em.
There was another man wanted
Georges chance. There's generally
