FOREST AND STREAM 
315 
Uncle Cecil in his oversea’s uniform 
and we had some shooting from day to ^ 
day. Then Sunday came, and the prob- ! 
lem was; how could we leave the beach, i 
with the railroad washed away. 1 
The solution came from Peter. “Boys,” ' 
he said, “the section gang will be run- j 
ning gravel trains by here tomorrow, ! 
maybe they’ll take ye.” 
So Monday morning when the gravel 
train arrived, and stopped for work on 
a big washout near the house, Jake 
sidled up to the big red-headed section 
boss, and made his appeal. “Nope,” he 
said. Can’t take passengers.” Then 
Jake figuratively got down on all fours, 
and begged like a cripple, said he had a 
wife and six small children home (which 
was true) with no bread, and nothing but 
cake to eat, and would he be so hard 
hearted, as to keep him separated from 
his long suffering family. “Say feller,” 
said the red-headed boss, “you win.” Me 
an’ the gang ain’t got very good eye 
sight, and if you make yourselves small, 
I don’t think we’ll see you.” “Say boss,” 
said Jake, “do you think your eyesight 
\vill be good enough to see a box of 
cigars, and a ‘pocket pistol’?” “You try 
us,” said the boss. 
So we loaded our “duffle” in the ca- 
boose, along with our bag of game, one 
hundred and thirty-one ducks, (seven- 
ty-six of which were dippers) and five 
geese. Then making an altar of one of 
the caboose seats, we placed our sacri- 
ficial offering thereon, and patiently 
waited for the train to move. Presently 
the boss came in, and taking no more 
notice of us than if we were invisible, 
he sampled the “pistol,” took some cigars 
and passed out; one by one the gang 
came through, none of them noticed us, 
but each took toll from our sacrifice. 
T he little fellow in my lap had been 
sitting as quiet as a mouse, with 
wide eyes, drinking in every word 
of the story. As I stopped he looked 
up at me and said, “Grandaddy, and then 
what?” “Why that, Cornelius, will be 
continued in our next,” I replied.
