She missed her pet and the Callahan family was so big and so careless! "Please, Mrs. Callahan, be careful with her every minute. I love her so very dearly." "Bless your heart, I wouldn't have harm come to her for the world. There she sits like a queen on her throne, and ain't took down but by my own hands with the medicine bottle. I've told the kids I'll skin 'em alive if they put finger on her."
It was at this moment that the tense strain of suspense was broken in the despatcher's room on the second floor of the Union Station. The telephone skirled joyously, and the train-master snatched up the ear-piece. "What does he say?" asked Kent. "It's all right. He says Callahan is out on the Western Division, with Tischer chasing him according to programme.
"You knew my record when you hired me. Chief Callahan gave it to you, and I knew that he did. But that is neither here nor there; I want my letter, and I want you to say in it that I am leaving to look for a more favorable climate." "And if I don't give it to you? if I tell you to go straight plumb to hell?"
Good day and I hope you enjoy your new offices." An hour later, back at his own phone, Taber got a second call from Callahan. "There's another one." "Another one? I don't follow you." "A photographer from New York City. He's being real cagey, this one, but I know the breed. The kind that's so stupid-clever he outsmarts himself." "What's he after?"
Griggs was on for the night run eastward with the express; and "Dutch" Tischer had found himself slated to take the fast mail west. The change of engines on the mail had been effected at the shops; and when Tischer backed his train in on track nine his berth was beside the 1010. Callahan swung down from his cab and climbed quickly to that of the mail engine.
He might obtain another position, though he foresaw that it would be useless to apply to Simon Rich for a letter of recommendation. He had not gone more than a hundred feet when he met a boy whom he knew, named James Callahan. "How do you happen to be here, Andy?" he asked. "Are you on an errand for the firm?" "I have left them." "Why is that?"
The speculators raised the price of land, the house-owners raised rents, the hotels doubled their prices, and even so, had to put people to bed on pool tables! Even Tom Callahan of the "Buffeteria" had to hire two assistants, and build an extension, and move his kitchen into the back yard.
Waited, too, the Army of the Callahan at the mouth of the Gap, and waited restlessly Captain Wells at the door of his tent, and Flitter Bill on the stoop of his store waited everybody but Tallow Dick, who, in the general confusion, was slipping through the rhododendrons along the bank of Roaring Fork, until he could climb the mountain-side and slip through the Gap high over the army's head.
Durgan had obeyed his orders promptly and precisely, and had succeeded in stopping Callahan at the street-crossing where Engineer Dixon had killed the farmer. Durgan climbed to the cab of the 1010, and the changed plan was explained in a dozen words. But now came the crux.
"They say some folks put things on the table one by one, but we likes to have them where we can see them all one time," remarked Mrs. Callahan who was feeding the baby with turkey and pickle. "We'se eated two dinners a'ready," said Lois. "Mommer told all the ladies that asked us as how we wanted a Christmas dinner and we got three," explained Peggy. "And et 'em, too," Mrs. Callahan declared.
