"Why have we stopped?" she asked. So unreal had she looked that his heart pounded with relief when she spoke. "There's a hot-box," he answered, in the tones of one repeating a lesson learned. His eyes devoured her face hungrily. "Oh!" said the girl, softly. "Then then you aren't a robber, are you?" Wade merely shook his head.
"Hot-box!" said the Jersey Suburban. "It's the price you pay for going on the tear. It's years since I've had one. It's a disease that don't attack shorthaulers, as a rule." "We never have hot-boxes on the Pennsylvania," said the Consolidation. "They get 'em in New York same as nervous prostration." "Ah, go home on a ferry-boat," said the Mogul.
The weather was somewhat unpleasant, but I had an excellent horse and we made very good time, until we got a hot-box. I was obliged to leave the vehicle with a farmer, and walked the last two miles." "Indeed?" said Katherine. "But please tell me about the riot. It must have been very exciting." "I hardly think it would interest a lady," said Sporty, uneasily.
One day a spark drops on them, or they get too near a bearing or a "hot-box," and, in a flash, the whole machine is in a blaze. Never neglect snuffles or "cold in the head" in a young child, and particularly in a baby.
When a hot-box held his train up for over half an hour, Blake stood with his timepiece in his hand, watching the train crew in their efforts to "freeze the hub." They continued to lose time, during the night. At Seattle, when he reached the Great Northern docks, he found that his steamer had sailed two hours before he stepped from his sleeper.
That was why, he says, the Accommodation was held up. Made out no end of a tale, Comanche did." "If I'd heard that in the shops, with my boiler out for repairs, I'd know 't was one o' Comanche's lies," the New Jersey commuter snapped. "Hot-box! Him! What happened was they'd put an extra car on, and he just lay down on the grade and squealed. They had to send 127 to help him through.
Then the regular pounding of the wheels on the rails recalled him. "She's gone to be married. Gone to be married. Gone to be married." He realized that they had been saying it in monotonous rhythm ever since he started that they would go on saying it through eternity. Suddenly the train jarred to a standstill. "Guess we got a hot-box," said a sleepy passenger across the aisle.
The train had been stopping at frequent intervals, and, finding the brakeman there, I asked the trouble. It seemed that there was a hot-box on the next car, and that not only were we late, but we were delaying the second section, just behind. I was beginning to feel pleasantly drowsy, and the air was growing cooler as we got into the mountains.
To Gopher Prairie the tracks were eternal verities, and boards of railroad directors an omnipotence. The smallest boy or the most secluded grandam could tell you whether No. 32 had a hot-box last Tuesday, whether No. 7 was going to put on an extra day-coach; and the name of the president of the road was familiar to every breakfast table.
The Compound sighed pityingly, and said no more. "Git 'em all shapes in this world, don't ye?" said Poney, "that's Mass'chusetts all over. They half start, an' then they stick on a dead-centre, an' blame it all on other folk's ways o' treatin' them. Talkin' o' Boston, Comanche told me, last night, he had a hot-box just beyond the Newtons, Friday.
