Sunday. He was unable to read or write, even his own name. Heidel berg, the station agent at St. Jacobs, the eastern terminus of Mc Guire ssection, kept his books and accounts and the time of the men. In return for this kindness Mc Guire used to do odd spurts of manual toil for Heidelberg. Sometimes, on a Saturday afternoon, he would set his car off at the end of his run, take his men over (between trains) and shovel snow and saw wood for the agent. In summer, when they had their scythes out, they invariably cut the weeds on the vacant lot between the station and Heidelberg shouse, clipped the lawn, and weeded the garden. Down by West Silver Creek bridge there was a water tank and a pump, whose motive power was a mule. Close by the bank of the lazy little river stood the watchmans shanty, nar row, high, and painted red, like the tank, and like hundreds of other shanties that were strung along the line from St. Louis to I ndianapolis.(Typographical errors above are due to OCR software and don't occur in the book.)About the Publisher Forgotten Books is a publisher of historical writings, such as: Philosophy, Classics, Science, Religion, History, Folklore and Mythology.Forgotten Books' Classic Reprint Series utilizes the latest technology to regenerate facsimiles of historically important writings.
