isa a lid a clever ushe is 15 pretty I might ve lisen with her irstead of wasting Hili III I this thiN stuffy car for the past hour too tao Im a Rocky ock Mountain heep if they haedt run that switch up U us again I wonder why they keep ringing the confounded hu H They certainly cant be afraid id idof of over people while the old Is standing still at this time of nl night ht I I 4 No u use I go to sleep run the switch engine hut but that fellow In n the next is going to die In a minute or orNo two No 0 man can use his breathing natus to make such auch sounds as c s making a king and live 1 I wonder It If he hil ha a wife and family be a sod sad t tk i k to break the news to them 11 betl heavens one but this It Is lovely nic lip conductor and potter porter ate ao now with somebody about his ii ket I was just going to steep sleep too I wish I 1 had siLt ot up and smoked l lest things are quiet The porter has turned down the Now fOr a 8 good od refreshing sleep I med d it I wonder It if Grace Leamington Is 15 liable to get stout in her old age We e must ba been rim into b by the rut fast man malt that time I hope killed Its that confounded switch engine It has tome ome beck back and hooked onto us I won wonder der where were going now Oh well wellI I dont care car much Danger and death no longer seem terrible to me Maybe going to shove us Into the roundhouse rc It thed only keep the thear rat ar moving I believe I could go to sleep ea easier ler than when Us its standing t ill I be surprised If Grace fight got get rather heavy hevy after atter 3 or 11 41 10 Her mother must weigh at least l once more mene IU bet the theman theman man running that switch engine nver had hold or of a 8 throttle before But perhaps his brake Is broken so that the tho on WR way he can stop is by running against t rm Im so 50 glad gladI T I got ot nero here as soon as the car was It would have been a pit pity It ItI ItI I had missed any of the refreshing rest rm Im getting 12 going to report this con conductor ductor I dont believe the company f pays him merely to stand in the aisle and goss p ith the porter orter while pas passengers pasI I are trying to get the sleep given up for I it Is s again The switch en enInes got Oh toot dad burn f you 01 toot n disturb me any anymore anymore more i y bIn your nu Ic 10 by ri yoUr Ilie h next C time that I get a berth in a 3 sleeper that start till 3 in the morning have haye to have a keeper on each side or of me In Ill tell them that Let her whistle Dont mind me Ill bet a hundred dollars that engineer has a grudge against somebody In this car carand carand and is tryIng to give him a case of nervous prostration Grace takes after ater her mother plain enough Still StillI I dont know but that rd Id rather be marrIed to a woman who got a little too plump along late In life Ufe than to have one who dried up to nothing but skin and bones off again This Is the nInth time run us down the track and then thon us back with a nerve destroying bump Ot t each end Oh wen well I guess theres no ue trying to go to sleep now Im going to take it and save wear and tear on my temper heavens sake There yelling at somebody now to get up on the root or of this car and pour water on onit onIt it I wonder if they have time timeto to attend to that earlier in the even evening evening ing when people were were not trying to sleep I believe this road Is run by lunatics know that man In the next berth Is now in the last throes Con Confound Confound found him he ought to die Any man who cnn can sleep through a racket like this deserves alt ah I ous death Still I dont suppose hes to blame ar af artor tor all He makes so much noise of his own that he know any thing else is going on the great I advantage of being a I never thought of it before NoW I know why a man who snores is always able to sleep ov overtime rUme That bump nearly threw me into the aisle I wonder why they always run Int ps from the direction toward which ones onos head is pointed Ill bet there are seven die dis distinct Imprints or of my skull on the par between this and the next berth Oh if the coupling would only break and let us run In the river must have hauled us back near the station Twenty people out outside outside side are trying to talk at once I cant make out what saying saing but it must be funn funny I can hear our porter who evidently is standing at the car steps laughing with great enthusIasm Our old frIend the switch engine has returned with steam up and the safety valve showing wh what t its there for I dont pose they can find room for It eTe else In the therard rard 2 heaven OaI nineteen minutes to wait In this inferno inforno Jeru Jerusalem Jerusalem salem There going to sh shunt us around somewhere again I wonder if it would do that poor feU fellow ow any good to pour some kind of lubricant ant Into his windpipe Its too bad that Graces hair is so dark Otherwise the down on her upper lip show at all Pullman conductor has just yelled to the porter that the train to which we are to be attached Is an hour and fifty mInutes late Goodby proud world goodby Iri going o out i to throw myself In front ot of the switch engine If Ie an Providence felt elt that I had any right to live Jive this could never have happened to rue me |
