to Texas.
After the young man had gone away
the father regretted the hard words he
had uttered. The young man. too,
may have been sorry for having caused
the fathers anger, but he went away,
kept his secret, called himself by an
other name, and for thirty years no
letter nor word came back from him
to tell that he was an engineer on one
ofthe Texas railroads.
