The boys In the roundltouse thought It
funny that Dannie McCoutl should tiult
his Job as passcnucr engineer on the
ilrodUhrtvcn division, by which he pulled
down from $liv to $19) n monlh, aiid go to
raising gardch truck hist outside of town.
"When they spoke to him about It Dannlo
would get out o notebook anil pencil and
flsrure- on how much moro 'he woutd be
worth In tho next ten years by raising
ttimmltlnn Rhd dUcks and chickens than
ho would at engllieerlntt. But this didn't
tool anybody, becaus the boys .knew that
Dannie had been born a railroader and
thnt his only real element was along the
shining rails.
Only Bill Skoegs, who used to fire for
Donhlc, itntl Mitiy Jane, Dannlo's little
blrle-eyed, flaxen-haired wife, knew tho
rcat rettfon why Dannlo had abdicated
from his kingdom on tho right hand oat
box and turned himself into o. vassal of
tho eotl.
Here Is tho story as I gathered It and
wltr trv in tell without nnv trills;
Dannie's dad, Big Tim McCaull, wiU
bOM of n brldgo gang. They lived noar
thcVnllroid track and Dannie grew up
with an uncontrollable ambition tt have
a hand In making the steam cars go. Ho
would sit on the crest of tho high cut
back of his father's houso and watch tho
imlriM en ht The ens- triers came to
know him pretty well and thoy honored
hint with a salute from tho whistle as
they w'hlszed along. If the lnd wan over
missing from school tho teacher would
know that ho had played hooky and gon$
down to tho rotmdhbifgo. It wns no trou
ble to find him.
The Stnrl.
Dannie made an honest effort to go
through his books, but long before ho was
21 tho call of .the rails camo so strong
thai ho couldn't stay away any longer
and big Tim, seeing the Usclcssness of
hold nir tho boy back, let him shirt In,
The bov begun at tho bottom, packing
water for a construction gang. His father,
who had done tiro same- tiring before him,
approved the method. He had no us.o for
men "who. wanted to Jump into bUsJness
in the rirlUdle.
That Dannlo' would eventually become
a gllt-cdg6d-cnglncer was as Certain as
the sparks fly Up. Ho wasn't as big as
his dad by about six Inches, but he was
strong and well built, had a Keeri blue
eye thHt coUld outlook on)' spectacles
ever Invented, ana was aa acuve as a
ihbroughbred colt.
When Dannlo had nln along tho lad
der rih'til he cllnlbed aboard a big super
heater houllng the limited on Iho Chi
cago trill ho was at tho top as far ns cn
glnccilng went. After making his first
rUu on the limited, and making good.
Dannie took Mary Jbuo Murphy around
to the lfttio Catholic dhtlreh, where
Father Caiilll rriado tlicrn one. Dannlo
nnd Mary--Juno lived in a little cottage
down the railroad' track, about half a
Ljn'le but' of Brookhaven. In tlmo thn
'angels brought a small edltloh of Dar) to
tho cottage, an'd Joy relgnctl Aipremo.
If some good fajry' had wandered Into
Dan's jilaco' nnd ' asked him . and Mary
Janb Wrat else they needed to make them
happy they would have been up a stump
for an answer.
It was the pride of Dannlo's llfo to
mako the schedule with his big-. super
heater under ap):,and all circumstances
and to watah little Dannie grow up.
IMlhhltinr A hen d.
The chap wtls remarkably bright and.
he seemed to take to railroading JUst
like his' datl. Uefore he COlltd say an
intelligent word little Dan would Idddlei
out on -to tho lawn and wave his tiny
hand nt the trains going by. Bill rlkdggs,
Double's' flremait, vyas a great big, hard-
faced man, with a "heart as kind atjd
gentle as that 'of it good woman. BUI,
ecaUsn of his Idolis, had found Hard
Sledding' among the fair sex, who didn't
know what ft diamond there was In the
rough'. So Bill, Instead at calling on the
girls, would walk 'out to Dannlo's plrtcp
and; play with the kid. He. tatight llttln
Dannie all tlie signals of railroading and
would mako him strut uh nnd down the
yard, 'his baby arms woVklng backward
arid forward at' his aides like, piston. .rod
and his little red tips stuck out. clroo.
choo, choolng llko the exhaust of a
double compound.
Vlilji n f the Old Illoek.
Little Dannie never cared for an auto
mobile or-a-horse pr a -tractlfin ontflile
or anything- but a railroad train. It was
funny. YoQ couldn't get him lp a bUiz
wagon, but hb was tickled to death when
ever his dad or BUI kags would take
him for a llttlo ride on the cars;.
The boy knejv , w.hen his dad's train
was due at Brookhaven and was always
out .in the yard to see It go by. SkaBg
Who was on that side, would take off his
hat and wave, .and little Danny would
hold up his chubby arms and coo back
at' him. It was lots of fun both to the
kid and to ths fireman.
Tho thing that rtudc Dannie quit the
road occurred when the baby Dan w.s
a little tetter than 2 years old. It Was a
gloomy.s drlwly day. No. CG Was An.
brbachlng the town. Owlntr to tho slln
pery condition of the rails tho englrier
had had some trouble In getting his Un
usually heavy train over the road on th
jschedUle., The train Waa a few mlhutei
laje, haying lost the time coming up the
long grade- from North river, and Dan
nie. Was. .crowding oh the drivers ever
qunco of Mcaw they would stand with
out slipping. There wero sevoral ourves.
one of considerable length ardUnd a slop
thg. hill just before reaching tile placfc
wnrt) Dannie. lived. As tho engine swept
around -the hill, roveallns the long tab
gent ahead Dannie saw on the rails a
small- while object which he instantly
recognized an a little chsp, Instinctively
hb reached for thb whistle lever and thin
do the slightest good.
Olieylim thi .Sluutil,
Little bitnnle was no more afraid of n
railroad train Minn he was of Bill SkngK.
He knew that his dad v. a on that ennlnr.
and he felt satisfied In hit little hnhy
brain that no harm could conic to him
when his dad was near. So ho toddled
up toward the engine with n smile on hl.
Hps and his arms stretched out. of
course the bal(-crnred father shut Jtf
the steam nnd nppllpd tho .emergency ,
nulcker than 1 am tolling, It, nnd thi,
overcome by the horror of I he sltuntlo.i.
his head dropped on the window i si 'if
he had fainted. Bill -Skiggs, big. ugly
old Bill, as soon as he saw the kid, nut
along the running ' board beside the u
boiler as lively as any monkey could have
done, climbed out on the pilot, stood slIU
for a moment until he caught the baby
eye, and then gave tho regulation rail
road signal for the tr'aln to move for
ward. Llttlo Dannie saw It and obeyHl
orders. He cleared the track.
Sknggs waB a llttlo wobbly and his
leathery face looked old as he climbed
baok Into tho cab. He snw what had
happened to Dannlo Unit his nervo Iril
entirely left him rind so he motioned
htm to get on tho other side of thn en
gine nnd took tho train Into the dlvlsin.t
himself.
Before going holito Uan. went Into the
superintendent's office and resigned. Ho
simply told tho superintendent that tt
wns a good year for, farming and he
wanted to get back toahe laud. "Sknggs
took his placo as engineer and made good.
Llttlo Dannlo still retains bin Interest .in
