deserted that not even a crowd had

In the faraway there was a muf-

CHAPTER n.
The Early Birds and the Worm.

| inc early bITuS ana the worm.
In the enormous barn of the rail.
road station stood many strings of
cars, as If a gigantic young CULVER
stabbed his toys there and invisibly
amused himself; now whisking this
one away, now backing that other in.
Some of the trains were noble equip
ages, fitted to glide across the whole
map with cargoes of Lilliputian mil
! ltonaires and their Lilliputian ladies'.
Others were humble and shabby
| linked-up day. coaches and dingy
smobingcars, packed with workers,
like ants.
Cars are mere vehicles, but locomo-
tives have souls. The express en-
gines roll in or stalk out with gran
deur and ease. They are like en-
perors. They seem to look with scorn
at the suburban engines snorting and
grunting and shaking the arched
roof with their plebeian choo-choo as
they puff from shop to cottage and
back.
The trainmen take their cue from
the behavior of then locomotives. The
conductor of transcontinental mods
to the conductor of a shuttle-train
with less cordially than to a brake
man OF his own. The engineers OF
the limiteds look like senators in
overalls. They are far-traveled men,
leading a mighty life of adventure.
They are pilots of land-ships across
land-oceans. They have a right to
certain condescension of manner.
But no one feels or shows so much
arrogance as the sleeping car porters.
They cannot pronounce "supercili-
ous," but they can be it. Their dis
dain for the entire crew of any train
that carries merely day-coaches or
half-baked chair-cars, is expressed as
only a darkey in a uniform can ex-
press disdain for poor white trash.
or all the naughty porters that ever
curled a lip, the haughtiest by far
was the dusky attendant in the San
francisco sleeper on the Trans-Amer-
lean Limited. His was the train OF
trains in that whole system. His car
the car OF cars. His passengers the
SUI pdSocuSeIS Ol oil.
His train stood now waiting to set
forth upon voyage of two thousand
miles, journey across seven imperial
states, a journey that should end only
at that marge where the continent
dips and vanishes under the breakers
OF the Pacific ocean.
AT the head of his car, with his lit
tie box-step waiting for the foot of
the first arrival, the porter stood, his
head swelling under his cap, his
breast swelling beneath his blue
blouse, with its brass buttons like
reflections OF his own eyes. His name
was Ellsworth Jefferson, but he was
called anything from "Poarr-turr" to
"Pawtah," and he usually did not
come when he was called.
Tonight he was wondering perhaps
what passengers, with what DISPOSE |
tons, would fall TO his lot. Perhaps
he was wondering what his Chicago |
sweetheart would be doing in the
eight days before his return. Per.
haps he was wondering what his San |
Francisco sweetheart had been doing |
In the five days since he left her. and |
how she would pass the three days |
that must intervene before he
reached her again.
He had Othello's ebon color. Did |
he have Othello's green eye?
