The durn fool just saweda piece out of the ring and stuck em inthere any old way. Didnt have senseenough to know they had to be the way it goes. Just as we were about to stop and he hadreleased the brakes (for he handles a trainnicely), the kicker said abruptly, Everrun an engine? I admitted that I had. All right, then,take her awhile, he said, and made roomfor me to take charge. As soon as I got the injector at workagain, and had settled down for a run tothe meeting point, I looked up at the airgage, and to do so had to lean away backand to one side. The kicker broke AN INTERIOR VIEW OF THE GRAND TRUNKS NEW AIR-BRAKE INSTRUCTION the splendid and original arrangement of driver brake apparatus; also the arrangement of Bll, D8 and F6 brake valves, and liberal use of gages. I admitted that I did not. He then continued. I went over to thepump room one day and told that fellerit needed new rings in the air it aint got suction enough to take amint julep on a hot day. N that air pumpfeller told me he guessed he knew what itneeded. Why say! I asked him if hehad seen the report of the Air Brake con-vention at Columbus, n he told me thathe didnt need any conventions to tell himwhat to do. Why, some of them fellersat Columbus forgot moren he ever knew!Hes been foolin along with that pumpfor two months and aint got it fixed the air valves more lift to let her get I remarked that it seemed strange thatthe man should be kept on air brake
