Bisbee daily review., 1912-08-18

Battling over the frogs and switches, the Special" picked it's way through the yard, while the engineers hand grasped the throttle nervously. The president of the road. Philip Newman, sat in the rear car. and he had demand ed a record run down to the next dt vision. Once past the tangle of-tracks, there was a clear road and good roadbed all the way to Tuwora,. Thom- son usually took out the east and west flyer. He wac . new engineer ep the road and he wanted to show theR" "oh Man what he could do. i~ ss5 %
 Back In his private car, Newman wac sotns through the package Of mall handed him as he had stepped aboard. IL seemed to Newman that since his secretary had quit, the mal had been twice ah heavy as formerly. For perhaps half an hour he worked over the mail. then he threw it down on the table in disgust, and vent ost on the rear platform to smoke a cigss in the crisp winter sunshine. As he stepped through the door, a dark bun de huddled beside the steps caught his eye and he scowled.
 He stopped to grasp the mans col lar, but before he could do so the man had sprung up and was facing him defiantly.
 Yes, I'm stealing a ride" be ad, mitted before Newman had spoken. Like you, I am going over th9 road without a ticket. You can't blame the train hands. They were careful enough, but when they were clear of the yards they had to stay up front or pass through your car. and knew that they wouldn't do that, so hopped on board because I want to get away from here
 Come inside" ordered Newman grufly as he saw that the mans thin coat and threadbare trousers offered little protection from the nipping air. He was rather amused at the idea of a tramp stealing a ride on his own car
 The stranger followed without he least embarrassment and accepted with easy courtesy the stlf drink that Newman prescribed as xs antidOte for the cold.
 If l can wash my haads some where" the tramp suggeseed waes the warmth had penetrated his half. frozen body, "I'll work my passage. l used to be 6 pretty good hand at the typewriter in the old days. If TS= have any routine stuff that an cut slider can sec, I'll clear that away for you. know how 1t is when the mail gets piling up"
 He moved toward the closed type writer desk in corner of the salon and raised the cover. He nodded as he saw the machine was in good con dition, and then followed the porter to the wash room whence be emerged with clean hands and face and we'll bP1shed hair. Newman stared at the transformation.
 I'm not a tramp" was the easy sI. planation. q am merely out Of job and without a reference to get an. other berth. I was unwise in falling in love with my boss daughter It was a small town. and he could keep me from getting another place there, so I had to leave"
 As he spoke he moved toward the machine again and took up one Of the letters in the basket. His fingers fairly flew over the keys and presently nc passed a sheet over to Newman. It was terse and comprehensive. and Newman nodded. The president reached for the basket and removed few of the more impor. tant letters, then indicated the rest.
 Do those" he ordered, "and you will be able to make New York in day coach instead of box car"
 The letters were out of the way and signed before the train whistled for Tuwora, and Newman turned to his self-appointed helper.
 Want to go or from the division point or stay on and be my secre- tary2" he asked.
 'I'll stay" was the quiet response. The girl lives in Harmon. and that's only SO miles from your headquarters. I'll marry her yet"
 ludL s lu6 way lO tdlhs CTleu New man. "Tf you want a girl. fight until you get her. You might answer these other letters"
 He indicated the more important ones he had withheld until he had studied his saan. and while the lat ter's nimble fingers resumed their work, he smoked and reflected. Here was a man who would not give up and yet be himself had lost heart in his own love affair He wanted Alicia Leighton for his wife, and he had been frightened of by the rivalry of younger men, though he was little past forty.
 What Is your name?" be de- manded.
 Paul Sidney" was the quiet re- sponse. T have been working for Seth Slater in Harmon"
