Bobby was thinking up ways ant means one winters night as he 'urlle' his horses head honeward with the load of freight from the eastbouha train. The first quarter mile ol the tourney, between solid rows or lulh- Der piles and lighted by single arc lrht. was lonesome.

The Continental stands ready to spend hundred. Employees who have giv- en the best years of their life to it's service are pensioned. The only touch of human nature about it is the pres ent of five doNar bill which. with q formal and frosty little letter. is sent each Christmas to every employee who has worked for the Continental year or more.
 The spirit and essence of the Conti- mental is its book of Rules and Regu lations." The tome Is a ponderous ma ss of bound circulars foot thick. Every fortnight or so another printed yellow folder is issued, bringing the express world up to date. and this is duly read by agent or messenger and fastened into the covers.
 Somewhere in the musty depths of the Rules and Regulations" are in structions covering every possible con- tingency. from handling Egyptian mummies to the feeding of live stock in transit No matter how absurd an employees procedure in an emergency. when viewed in the light of common sense he has only to quote Rules and Regulations" correctly. He is sure of forgiveness. And the man who is versed in ''Old R. and R. as the book is called, is held by his colleagues in much the same half envious regard with which ministers look upon a brother who knows his Bible exceed ingly we'll.
 Booth, money clerk at Morgantown had a special name for the canvas GOV cred volume "The Book of Rcvela ;ion." The agent. Hornbeck who had grown gray in the Continental's serv zee. chided him one day for his flip r3ncy.
 II tell you. Bill" he said seriously "Old k. and R. cant take you far lstray any turn of the road. You could use it as q guide and be a pretty go0l Christian. Doesn't it tell you to he strictly honest, to be temperate and keep good hours. to affiliate yourself with some church and attend divine services en sunday. to dress neatly and as well as your income will per init, to treat everybody with polite ness. for we must depend on rich anl poor. white and black, for our busi ness: :"
 "Ihat's true, ail right replied Bill impressed II never looked at it that way before"
 And" chimcd in Bobby Taylor. the driver. Old R. and R. makes you insure your life before you can work for the company. That isn't all of it either. Away back in Series D, No. 439, dated June 1. 1893, found a paragraph advising employees to mar ry"
 Funny you'd stumble on to that. hey. Bobby?" Queried Booth, with a grin and wink at Hornbeck, where upon Bobby, blushing like a school girl, hastened back to his wagon.
 Bobby was the best driver the Mor- gantown office had. He did oceans of work every day, collecting parcels and making deliveries. Besides, there were four round trips between the office and Morgan Junction, a mile away. .S.The .railroads got no nearer town than the Junction. He did all this and hank cred for more. anxious for promotion,
