south OF nineteen and lived with my
parents in a Pennsylvania town, l
lad Il taste for railroadins and a boy
sh ambition to become a driver, al
.hough had been educated iorloitier
pursuits.
During my college vacation l loung,
I'd about the station almost constant
v. making friends with the trainmen,
and especially with q driver named
silas Markley. became much at.
cached to this man, notwithstanding
ne was forty years old and by no
means a sociablc fellow.
He was my ideal OF a brave ,skilliul,
thoroughbred driver, and looked up
10 him as something OF Il hero. lie
vas not IL married man, but lived
alone with his old mother. | was a
frequent visitor ut their house, aud
think they took quite Il fancy to me
III their quiet, administrative way.
When Markley's fireman left him
induced him to let HE take his place
turing the remnant OF my vacation.
