Excerpt from Held for Orders: Stories of Railroad Life Chris presented the remodelled root to Callahan as a surprise; Callahan, in a burst of gratitude, pro moted him on the spot: he made little Chris fore man. It didn't bring any advance in pay - but there was the honor. To be foreman was an honor, and as little Chris was the only man on the yard force, he became, by promotion, foreman of himself.

The Daughter of a Magnate By Frank H. Spearman

Excerpt: ...know what goes on in the world. Everything I see of you contradicts everything I have heard of you." "You haven't seen much of me yet, you know, and you may have heard much better accounts of me than I deserve. Still, it isn't surprising you can't account for me; in fact, it would be surprising if you could. Nobody pretends to do that. You must not be shocked if I can't even account for myself. Do you know what a derelict is? A ship that has been abandoned but never wholly sinks." "Please don't make fun of me How did you happen to come into the mountains? I do want to understand things better." 210 "Why, you are in real earnest, aren't you? But I am not making fun of you. Do you know President Bucks? No? Too bad He's a very handsome old bachelor. And he is one of those men who get all sorts of men to do all sorts of things for them. You know, building and operating railroads in this part of the country is no joke. The mountains are filled with men that don't care for God, man, or the devil. Sometimes they furnish their own ammunition to fight with and don't bother the railroad for years; at such times the railroad leaves them alone. For my part, I never quarrel with a man that doesn't quarrel with the road. Then comes a time when they get after us, shooting our men or robbing our agents or stopping our trains. Of course we have to get busy then. A few years ago they worried Bucks till they nearly turned his hair gray. At that unfortunate time I happened into his office with a letter of introduction from his closest Chicago friend, Willis Howard, prince of good men, the man that made the Palmer House famous

Frank Hamilton Spearman (September 6, 1859 - December 29, 1937) was an American author. He was known for his books in the Western fiction genre and especially for his fiction and non-fiction works on the topic of railroads. Although he wrote prolifically about railroads, his actual career was that of a bank president in McCook, Nebraska and did not himself work for a railroad. Spearman was also a devout Roman Catholic convert and held political views best described as proto-libertarian, both of which beliefs are also reflected in his novels. His western novel Whispering Smith was made into a movie on six separate occasions, three silent films in 1915, 1926, and 1927, with later versions in 1935, 1948 and 1951. In 1961, NBC aired twenty episode of the television series Whispering Smith, starring Audie Murphy, a film star and World War II hero in the title role, and Guy Mitchell as detective George Romack. The Mountain Divide is a western novel that was first published in 1912. This ebook was made with Sigil. It is fully illustrated and features the original cover.
