A BAD Boys CHOICE
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
(Copyright.l
BY c. D. MOVES.

(Copyr1ght.)
10 Flyn, alias Simply" was never a
good boy We all knew that he was
bad, for our parents and teachers said
so, but we boys all liked him. Snip
py" could be depended upon. When
he promised any one licking he de-
divered the goods, or took one him.
self. which answered the same pur-
pose.
He never told on another fellow, and
studied his lessons to good purpose,
when nothing more to his liking was
to be done. But his lessons never IN
terfered with the other things.
Simply" was understood for his
age, but a natural leader with an ir.
resistible bent for forbidden places
and things and remarkable indie
pendence of character. He always
took the consequences of bis own acts
gracefully and never grumbled.
We realized these and many other
of his characteristics later In life. AS
q boy, We only knew that he was bad
but we liked him.
Before any Of us were more than
half-grown boys, Simply" left school
and went to work in the rolling mills.
First, he was a buggy-boy-wheeling
great balls of white-hot iron from the
furnaces to the giant trip-hammer on
q curious little two-wheeled, long
handled iron cart, called buggy"
Then he was fireman-stoker, the
Welsh iron-workers called 1t. Snip
py's" furnace was always hot, the hot
TEST In the mill. Finally, about the
time the rest Of us left grammar
echool he was advanced to a furnace
boss, or puddler.
We used often to see him stripped
to the waist, the great muscles show
ing on his back and shoulders, work
ing before the open mouth of q glow
ing furnace, with long bar forming
the half-molten iron into the great
ball which we had so often seen beat
en into ingots by the trip-hammer. It
almost seemed the realization of many
familiar warnings to see the bad boy
writhing and sweating amid the sui
Iphurous gases. prodding the glowing

eral years. Then rumor came to
town that he had been seen wearing
q striped suit In q western prison.
Rumors were followed by facts.
''Snippy" was convict. Many wise
heads wagged, and the wiseacres re-
called that they had foretold the end
pf the bad boy long ago.
Unexpectedly, one day Simply" re-
appeared among U.s. He had never

less on the floor-injured, but not
fatally.
The cab was full of live steam es-
Gaping from a broken injector, not
merely vapor such as comes from the
spout Of boiling teakettle, but super
heated steam from boiler under
pressure of 100 pounds to the square
inch
The higher the pressure the greater
the heat, and this was steam that
would scar the flesh like molten lead,
more fatal to breathe than direct
flame.
Simply" may not have known the
theory of superheated steam or water
boiling under pressure, but he did
know the facts and did not hesitate.
He had already calculated the chances
during the two seconds that he
stopped to think. He climbed to the
cab, dived into the kissing cloud. and
showed in the throttle as he sprang.
The engine stopped two car lengths
from the bridge.
A score Of seconds later the east
bound express with hundreds Of pas
sengers passed safely. When the rest
Of the crew came up from behind and
dragged "Snippy" out Of the cab he
was dead.
The next day. in the city, these
same passengers may have seen

traffic was heavy and that Babcock,
the engineer. had all the cars he could
handle on the slippery rails. But he
rode well forward that night, knowing
that the frozen ground, thawing in
the rain, made the road-hed soft, and
that If it were possible for land slip
to occur the conditions were just right
for It,
Something did happen. It was just
as the train was starting, after having
stopped for water at tank 80 miles
from their starting point. "Snippy"
stood on the third car back OF the en-
CINE. A sudden jolt and lurch threw
him to the ground between the tracks.
He knew that something was wrong
as he fell, and he heard the cutting
hiss Of escaping steam. Babcock was
too careful man to stop his train so,
without first giving warning with his
whistle. Simply" was dazed and half
stunned by his fall, but he jumped to
his feet instantly.
His first impulse was to find the
ahead Of the car on which he stood
was broken. and the two cars between
1t and the engine were off the track.
The engine moved forward slowly,
dragging the two cars over the ties.
He knew now that a rock had fallen
in the cut as the engine passed. Bah
cock and his fireman we're evidently
injured, or the engine would have
stopped. Fifty yards ahead was a
bridge-an old fashioned wooden az
fair, over small stream. The east
bound express was due on the other
track.
Simply" knew all of this and more.
The same knowledge or intuition that
had told him what had happened told
him also what would happen should
the engine pulling the derailed cars
reach the bridge. The car bodies, be-
ing so far from the center line Of the
track, would strike the upper works
of the bridge and perhaps cause the
collapse Of the whole structure. At
any rate, 1t would block both tracks.
And the east-bound express? No,
Simply" had not forgotten that.
either. He caught the CLINT Of her
headlight rounding the curve at Hick-
ory Grove, only two miles away.
Railroad men think quickly in an
emergency. Simply" did. He knew
that the others were coming up from
the caboose, 1900 feet away. as fast
as they could. The express would
reach the bridge in half the time It
would take them to reach him. The
derailed cars would reach It before
any Of them. unless the engine was
stopped.
Simply" paused to consider and
weigh these things a long time under
the circumstances, possibly fraction
over two seconds-long enough for the
express to travel 200 feet nearer to
the bridge.
1t may have taken "Snippy'' half a
minute to reach the engine, while the
express covered half mile. He knew
the state Of things in the cab of the
engine without stonping to investigate.

been handsome, or even passable In
appearance, and age had not improved
him. He was still understood, except
as to his arms, which were much too
long.
His chest and shoulders were pro-
portionate to his arms, and much too
large for his head. His hair was brick
red and his freckles overlapped each
other. Both toes turned in and one
eye turned out.
They were the same peculiarities We
had known in boyhood, all accentuated
by age. He had, in addition, a large
scar extending from the right ear un-
der the chin to the middle of the left
cheek.
Some well-intentioned, but badly in
formed, person had thought to i'm
prove the world by putting "Snippy"
out of 1t. and had left the Job un-
finished. He was bad man to look
at and worse to handle.
Simply" was reticent. He gave no
account Of himself or Of what he had
been doing during his years Of alb
sence, and his reticence was catching.
No one asked him. 1t was natural to
associate the scar with the prison uni
form. Somehow, we felt that the other
fellow had more need Of sympathy
than Simply" had.
He wanted job. Steel-making had
changed while he wore the striped
suit; new tools and new methods had
come into use. Simply" did not want
to learn his trade over again, so he
went to railroading.
There was activity, danger, and
hardship enough in a brakeman's life
to tempt him. Then the mutual de-
pendence and reliance of trainmen on
each other appealed to him. His rug
ged qualities Of self-reliance and lead
ership demanded action and express
sion, and found both in the strenuous
life Of the freight brakeman.
The mysterious feeling of fellow
ship that binds together all men en-.
gagged in a dangerous occupation
when the care or neglect of one may
save or lose the lives of many-in-
stantly recognized that Simply"
could be depended upon. One knew
instinctively that he would never be
found wanting when the test came.
He was employed on one Of the
trunk lines. running east and west on
a division of 140 miles of double track,
with light grades and easy curves.
Trains Of 45 or 80 freight cars were
not uncommon, even in his time.
The train was handled by a crew
Of six men-the engineer and fireman
on the engine, conductor. 1agman, and
two brakemen, one Of whom should
always be on or near the engine, and
one near the caboose. in which the
others might ride. "snippy's" usual
post was In front.
One rainy night in early spring
"Snippy's" crew was ordered out for
the 140-mile run westward. He had
no faith in omens or premonitions, 80
when he noticed that It was March 10,
and that there were thirteen names
