They walked together to the station. When the night grew too dark for Callahan he had but one higher thought Bucks. Bucks was five hundred miles away at McCloud, but he already had the particulars and was waiting at a key ready to take up the trouble of his favorite division. Callahan at the wire in Sleepy Cat told his story, and Bucks at the other end listened and asked questions.
The big fellow put his face in his hands and burst into tears, and the men before him sat confused and uncomfortable at his outburst of feeling. It was only for a moment. Sinclair raised his hand, shook his long hair, and swore an oath against the company and the men that curled the very smoke in Callahan's pipe, Callahan, outraged at the insolence, sprang to his feet, resenting Sinclair's fury.
Lois gave a cry of delight when Anne came in with Honey-Sweet. "Pretty sweet Honey!" she exclaimed. "Le' me kiss her one time." "You wait," said Mrs. Callahan. "That dolly ain't coming nigh you till you take your dost of medicine. Then I'll ask the lady to let her lay on the pillow." Lois looked inquiringly at Anne.
What galvanized Callahan was that the words were so simple, so all-covering, and so easy. "Why didn't I think of that?" groaned Callahan, mentally. Then he reflected that he was nothing but a redheaded Irishman, anyway, while Bucks was a genius. It never showed more clearly, Callahan thought, than when he received the three words, "Send for Glover."
'Receiver's car, Callahan, engineer, runs to Megilp as first section of fast mail. Fast mail, Hunt, conductor; Tischer, engineer; runs to the end of the division without stop, making up all time possible. Add to that last, 'By order of the receiver."
"And what " Miss Drayton smiled back at Lois and Bud and the baby "must I tell Santa Claus to bring you for Christmas, if I happen to see him?" "A doll, lady, please," answered Mrs. Callahan, eagerly, "a gre't big doll big as that baby pretty as a picture open-and-shut eyes real hair and curly. Lady, they'd rather have a real elegant doll than anything in the world."
"I'm off for something to eat," said Callahan, "and by the way, what shall I tell Bucks about the chances?" "Can you get Ed Smith's outfit?" asked Glover, speaking to Blood. "Well, I know you can Ed's a Denver man." He meditated another moment; "We need his whole outfit, mind you." "I'll get it or resign. If I succeed, when can you get a train through?" "By midnight." Callahan staggered.
Like two wary gamblers Callahan and the chief of construction on the mountain lines coldly eyed each other, Glover standing pat and the general superintendent disinclined through many experiences to call.
E. A. Callahan, an ingenious printing-telegraph operator, saw that there were unexhausted possibilities in the idea, and his foresight and inventiveness made him the father of the "ticker," in connection with which he was thus, like Laws, one of the first to grasp and exploit the underlying principle of the "central station" as a universal source of supply. The genesis of his invention Mr.
Callahan had joined his chief to watch the situation, and they speculated as to how the four would get out of the gulf in which they were completely hemmed. Gertrude and her father stood near. The eyes of the two bronzed railroad men at her side were like pilot guides to Gertrude.
