That little cuss is shore a mighty good railroad man. And when you ain't rubbin' his fur the wrong way, he treats you white." "For instance?" snapped Hodges, a freight engineer who had been thrice "on the carpet" in Lidgerwood's office for over-running his orders. "Oh, they ain't so blame' hard to find," Clay retorted.
