At the barn he must spend a few min

inspected and see that 1t is ready for
another trip. Several times during
the day he is obliged to turn switch
when the switchman is busy at some
other point and this Is no doubt one
of his worst duties. Also at some
switches the conductor must get off
and turn a signal which shows that the
track is clear. Altogether the duties

tempting to one who is anxious for a

reached and he can enjoy himself in
the club rooms for a few minutes but
must be ready soon to start out on
another trip.
1t must also be recalled that while
the holidays bring gladness to nearly
everybody else they almost invariably
mean more work and worry for the

joys connected with his work, for the
