"I want to see dad," returned his younger brother. "Oh, so do I." "Oak Run! All out for Oak Run!" It was the well-known cry of the brakeman as the train rolled into the station where the Rovers were to alight. "Good-bye, everybody!" sang out both Sam and Tom, and, baggage in hand, they hurried to the station platform. Then the train went on its way, leaving them behind.
And he had gone out as a green brakeman, but he had come back as a hero, with a Tribune reporter posing him against a furniture car for a two-column photo. For the strikers had stoned his train, half killed the "scab" fireman, stalled him in the yards and cut off two thirds of his cars and shot out the cab-windows for full measure.
"There is the water-tank," she announced in an agitated voice. "Desire, where is your parasol? My dear, don't kiss that child again, it's sticky. WHERE is my hand-bag? John, do you see your car?" "I don't SEE it," admitted John, "but " "Bainbridge!" shouted the brakeman.
"The man she called Jack is built ever so much better than Mr. Gosport is. He wouldn't just cry over a brakeman. He'd give him some money or...." "It is very wonderful to feel that we are all brothers, and that so little a thing as bringing it home to a train-hand could move him so profoundly," finished Mr. Gosport, cheered by the success of his anecdote.
Ball will always stop for a woman, but the drummers have to take her on the fly. There! He's on all but his hat. Red Nolan will keep that for him till his next trip. She's moving fast now. The brakeman hops the next to the last car with grace and carelessness.
"But I wanted you to be sure; I thought mebbe you'd tell other folks about it, seein' you're a good-hearted feller, an' know ev'rybody, an' I never done you no harm." "I'll tell 'em anyway," said the brakeman, cheerily; "I ain't no saint, but I'm always ready to help a fellow up when he's down. I've got to get to the rear now, to uncouple a car we have to leave here. S'long, Sam." "Say, Mr.
"What are you laughing at?" demanded the brakeman who stood on the rear platform of the car to prevent his escape, and who looked suspiciously in at the door to discover the meaning of this novel sound from his prisoner.

On and on swept the train, and at last the brakeman, as they left one station, announced: "Next stop Clintondale!" Nancy began to gather her things together and put on her coat long before the train slowed down. Then the other girls got ready leisurely, still chatting. The rain beat harder against the window. It was after seven o'clock. They passed a block-tower with its lights and semaphore.
"Excuse us," says Batts, "but me and Jim have hunted squirrels all over this mounting, and we don't need no white flag. Was that straight, colonel, about the plum pudding and pineapples and real store cigars?" "Towel on a fishing-pole in the offing!" howls Caligula. "Suppose it's the firing line of the freight conductors and brakeman." "My last trip down," says I, wiping off my face.
When Bud Molloy lay dyin' he says to the brakeman, 'You tell my wife to be good to Nance," "So she's your stepchild?" "Yes, sir, an' Bud Molloy was as clever a man as ever trod shoe-leather.
