"RailrOad Dick"

In one OF the large towns on the Pennsyl-
vania railroad there lived, until year or two
ago an old negro named Railroad Dick"
Dicks selfappointed task in life was to
'see de trains in safe" In front of the sta.
ton at this place run eight or ten tracks,
which cross busy thoroughiare. Dick made
it his business to meet each incoming train,
and run before it to clear the track of any
chance impeachment. Passengers would hold
their breath in terror to see the STOPPING, rag
ged figure, with white hair flying and arms
outstretched, running in kind of dog-tr
before the engine, in the possible danger of
being crushed to death.
No remonstrance or reproof could compel
old Dick to give up his perlous task. II had
not been useless one. Twice he had re-
moved distractions from the track which
would have wrecked the trains. Once he
had dragged man, who had fallen upon the
rails, to place of safety, and three times he
had saved the lives of children
"Oe Dicks got his wohk sah," he would
say, when told of his danger.
He never left the station. The railway Off
Gals made protege of the old man, and gave
him comfortable room in which to sleep
back Oft tho engine house, and standing order
for meals ut the restaurateur's. But Dick
preferred to take his bread and bone in his
fingers, to be eaten as he squatted on the floor
of the station.
"Dem paid felahs takes turns, but Use al
ways on guard" he said.
Dick probably grew stiff and feeble from
old age, and the time came came at last which
everybody had looked for. He was caught
by the cow catcher of an engine and thrown
against the rocks, and carried to his room
dying. He fingered for few hours With
each roar and shrek that announced an in
coming train he would struggle to rise.
"Des lots ofchillren on dem tracks Lem
me gol Ole Dicks got his work to dop'
When told that he must die, he lay silent
for u long time, and said finally: "Pars like
de's nobody to take up jes' my wohk But
de Lohd'll see to it" and SO, closing his eyes,
his work was over.
The toughest employees on the road were
better men for having known this poor, unset
fish negro, who, simply and according to his
light, faithfully did the work which he
thought had been given him to d. Youths
