Landy rode for a distance in both directions looking intently for signs. "Ugly Collins has either lost his time-card er has traded his wagon fer a airyplane," said the mentor. "Mebbe Maizie has delayed the take-off to finish her war with Logan. At any rate, they haven't left a wagon track. Let's go by the house.
When the train had swept out into the yards, the little party broke up. Horatio, who was choky, turned to his wife. Mrs. Horatio was already studying through her spectacles a suburban time-card to ascertain the next "local" for Elm Park. Ernestine and Walter Kemp slowly strolled up the train-shed together. The banker was the first to break the silence:
Each local station-keeper had a key and could open it when necessary. It held a time-card on which a record of the arrival and departure at the various stations where it was opened, was kept. Only one mochila was used on a trip; it was transferred by the rider from one horse to another until the destination was reached.
"Sure," said Patsy, "I don't intend to quit you as long as you have a brake for me to turn." "There's a lot of brakes that nobody is turning right now; come, you young rascal, will you go to work?" "Now," said the young rascal, "you know what it says at the bottom of the time-card: 'In case of doubt take the safe side. I'm waiting to see which side is safe."
"All right, Reblong," was the way it came, from the official who punched his time-card. And Reblong, with Smith making eager use of his eyes, went directly through a hatch in the side of the great ship, and thence down a corridor to his engine-room. Smith got little opportunity to study the machinery.
There I was, straddling a cross arm between heaven and earth, with the instrument held on my knee, and totally ignorant of any of the calls or the wire I was on. I yelled down to the conductor and asked him if he knew any of the calls. No; of course he didn't; and he was so excited he didn't have sense enough to look on his time-card, where the calls are always printed.
McCloskey, being of Scottish blood and desert-seasoned, was a cool in-fighter who could take punishment without wincing overmuch. But at the end of the first fortnight of the new time-card, he cornered his chief in the private office and freed his mind. "It's no use, Mr. Lidgerwood; we can't make these reforms stick with the outfit we've got," he asserted, in sharp discouragement.
Then I goes home, not sure whether I'd set the scene for an ear cuffin', or had plugged him in on a through wire. It's all wrong, Percy, all wrong. Somebody's been and rung in a revise on this Romeo dope, and here we find ourselves tryin' to make the Cupid Express on a canceled time-card. What do I mean we? Why, me and Mr. Robert. Ah, there you go! No, not Miss Vee. She's all right don't worry.
"I believe the party lives out of town, at some manor or other." Clarence was thinking very fast. There was but one "Manor" in or near Bellair. He looked at his time-card; there was but one town between them and that village. Holding the card in his hand he said: "Well, I will try and tell you what I want done; that is, if there is time how soon do you leave the train?"
In the course of the campaign there came in one day in my mail a letter written on a torn half of a railway time-card. It ran: "DEAR SIR There is sixty-five of us here working in a gravel pit and we was going to vote solid for Bryan and Free Silver. We have organised a Club and will cast sixty-five votes for William McKinley. Yours, etc."
