Holding Her Down /
Barring accidents ( ), agood hobo ( ), with youth and agility ( ), can hold atrain down ( ) despite all the efforts ( ) ofthe train-crew ( ) toditch him ( ) given (), ofcourse (), night-time ( ) as an essential ( ) condition ().
When () such ahobo ( ), under such conditions ( ), makes up his mind () that () he is going tohold her down ( ), either () he does hold her down ( ), or () chance trips him up ( ).
There is no legitimate way ( ), short of() murder (), whereby ( ) the train-crew ( ) can ditch him ( ).
That train-crews (, ) have not stopped () short ofmurder ( ) is acurrent belief ( ) inthe tramp world ( ). Not having had () that particular experience ( ) inmy tramp days ( ) Icannot vouch ( ) for it () personally ().
But () this Ihave heard ( , ) ofthe bad roads ( ࠫ ). When atramp ( ) has gone underneath, ( ) on the rods ( ), and the train is () inmotion (), there is apparently () no way ( ) ofdislodging him ( ) until ( , ) the train stops ( ).
The tramp (), snugly () ensconced () inside the truck (), with the four wheels ( ) and all the framework ( ) around him ( ), has the cinch () on the crew () or () so he thinks ( ), until ( , ) some day () he rides the rods ( ) on abad road ( ).
Abad road ( ) is usually ( ) one () on which () ashort time previously ( ) one or several ( ) trainmen ( ) have been killed ( ) bytramps (). Heaven pity the tramp ( ) who is caught ( ) underneath ( ) on such aroad ( ) for ( ) caught he is ( ), though (, ) the train () be going ( ) sixty miles an hour ( 60 ).
The shack () (brakeman) ( ) takes acoupling-pin ( ) and alength () ofbell-cord () tothe platform ( ) infront ofthe truck ( ) inwhich ( ) the tramp is riding ( ).
The shack () fastens () the coupling-pin () tothe bell-cord (), drops the former down ( ) between () the platforms (), and pays out ( ) the latter (). The coupling-pin () strikes the tiesbetweenthe rails ( ), rebounds () against the bottom () ofthe car (), and () again strikes the ties ( ).
The shack () plays it ( , ) back and forth (), now tothis side ( ), now tothe other ( ), lets it out ( ) abit () and hauls it ( ) inabit (- ), giving his weapon ( ) opportunity ( ) for every variety ( ) ofimpact () and rebound (). Every blow ( ) ofthat flying ( ) coupling-pin () is freightedwith death ( ), and () at sixty miles ( 60) an hour () it beats ( ) averitable () tattoo () ofdeath ().
The next day ( ) the remains () ofthat tramp ( ) are gathered up ( ) along () the right ofway ( ), and aline ( ) inthe local paper ( ) mentions ( ) the unknown man ( ), undoubtedly () atramp (), assumably () drunk (), who () had probably () fallen asleep () on the track ().
As () acharacteristic () illustration () ofhow (, ) acapable () hobo () can hold her down ( ), Iam minded ( ) togive () the following experience ( ). Iwas ( ) inOttawa (), bound west over () the Canadian Pacific (- ).
Three thousand miles ( ) ofthat road ( ) stretchedbefore me ( ); it was () the fall ofthe year (), and Ihad to( ) cross Manitoba ( ) and the Rocky Mountains ( ). Icould expect ( ) crimpyweather ( ), and every moment () ofdelay () increased ( ) the frigid hardships ofthe journey ( ). Furthermore (), Iwas disgusted ( ).
The distance () between () Montreal and Ottawa ( ) is () one hundred and twenty miles (120). Iought toknow ( ), for () Ihad just come over it ( ) and it had taken me six days ( 6). Bymistake () Ihad missed ( ) the main line ( ) and come over () asmall jerk ( ) with only two locals aday on it ( ). And during these six days ( ) Ihad lived on ( ) dry crusts ( ), and not enough ofthem ( , ), begged ( ) from the French peasants ( ).
Furthermore ( ), my disgust ( ) had been heightened ( ) bythe one day Ihad spent ( , ) inOttawa () trying toget ( ) an outfit ofclothing () for my long journey ( ). Let me put it onrecord right here ( ) that Ottawa ( ), with one exception ( ), is the hardest town ( ) inthe United States and Canada ( ) tobeg clothes in( );
the one exception () is Washington, D.C. ( ) The latter () fair city ( ) is the limit ( ). Ispent ( ) two weeks there ( 2) trying tobeg ( ) apair ofshoes ( ), and then () had togo on ( ) toJersey City before ( -) Igot them ( ).
But toreturn () toOttawa (). At eight sharp ( 8) inthe morning () Istarted out ( ) after clothes ( ). Iworked energetically ( ) all day ( ). Iswear () Iwalked ( ) forty miles (40). Iinterviewed ( ) the housewives () ofathousand homes ( ). Idid not even knock off ( ) work ( ) for dinner ().
And at six (6) inthe afternoon (), after ten hours ( 10) ofunremitting () and depressing toil ( ), Iwas still shy one shirt ( ), while the pair ( ) oftrousers () Ihad managed toacquire ( ) was tight ( ) and, moreover ( ), was showing ( ) all the signs ( ) ofan early disintegration ( ).
At six (6) Iquit work ( ) and headed for () the railroad yards ( ), expecting () topick up something ( -) toeat () on the way (). But () my hard luck ( ) was still with me ( ). Iwas refused food ( ) at house after house ( ). Then ( ) Igot ahand-out ( ).
My spirits soared ( ), for ( ) it was the largest hand-out ( ) Ihad ever seen ( - ) inalong ( ) and varied ( ) experience ( ). It was aparcel ( ) wrapped innewspapers ( ) and as big () as amature suit-case ( ).
Ihurried ( ) toavacant lot () and opened it ( ). First (), Isaw cake ( ), then more cake ( ), all kinds and makes ofcake ( ), and then some ( ). It was all cake ( ). No bread and butter ( ) with thick () firm slices ( ) ofmeat () between ( ) nothing () but cake ( );
and I() who (, ) ofall things ( ) abhorred cake most ( )! Inanother ageand clime ( , ) they sat down bythe waters ( ) ofBabylon () and wept (). And () inavacant lot () inCanadas proud capital ( ), I, too, sat down ( ) and wept () over amountain ofcake ( ).
As ( , ) one () looks upon the face ( ) ofhis dead son ( ), so ( ) looked Iupon ( ) that multitudinous pastry ( ). Isuppose (, ) Iwas ( ) an ungrateful tramp ( ), for () Irefused ( ) topartake ( ) ofthe bounteousness () ofthe house () that () had had aparty ( ) the night before ( ). Evidently () the guests () hadnt liked cake ( ) either ().
That cake ( ) marked () the crisis inmy fortunes ( ). Than it nothing could be worse ( ); therefore ( ) things ( ) must begin tomend ( ). And they did ( ). At the very next ( ) house () Iwas given ( ) aset-down ().
Now () aset-down ( ) is the height ofbliss ( ). One (, ) is taken inside ( ), very often () is given achance ( ) towash (), and is then ( ) set-down () at atable (). Tramps () love () tothrow their legs ( ) under atable ( / ).
The house () was large ( ) and comfortable (), inthe midst () ofspacious grounds ( ) and fine trees ( ), and sat well back ( ) from the street (). They ( ) had just finished eating ( ), and () Iwas taken ( ) right into the dining room ( ) initself ( ) amost unusual happening ( ),
for () the tramp () who () is lucky enough () towin () aset-down ( ) usually receives it ( ) inthe kitchen (). Agrizzled () and gracious Englishman ( ), his matronly wife ( -), and () abeautiful () young Frenchwoman ( ) talked with me ( ) while Iate ( ).
Iwonder () if that beautiful young Frenchwoman would remember ( ), at this late day ( ), the laugh Igave her ( ) when () Iuttered () the barbaric phrase ( ), two-bits ().
You see (), Iwas trying ( ) delicately () tohit them ( ) for alight piece (). That was how the sum ofmoneycame tobe mentioned ( ).
What ()? she said ( ).
Two-bits (), said I().
Her mouth was twitching ( ) as () she again said ( ), What ()?
Two-bits (), said I().
Whereat () she burst into laughter ( ). Wont you repeat it (, )? she said ( ), when () she had regained control ofherself ( ).
Two-bits (), said I().
And once more () she rippled ( ) into uncontrollable () silvery laughter ( ). Ibeg your pardon ( ), said she ( ); but what () what was it you said ( )?
Two-bits (), said I( ); is there anything wrong about it (- )?
Not that Iknow of(), she gurgled ( ) between gasps ( ); but what does it mean ( )?
Iexplained ( ), but () Ido not remember ( ) now () whether or not Igot ( ) that two-bits ( ) out ofher (); but () Ihave often wondered since as to( ) which ofus ( ) was the provincial ( ).
When () Iarrived ( ) at the depot (), Ifound ( ), much tomy disgust ( ), abunch of (, ) at least ( ) twenty tramps ( ) that () were waiting () toride out ( ) the blind baggages ( ) ofthe overland ( ).
Now () two or three tramps (- ) on the blind baggage are all right (ࠫ 堖 ). They are inconspicuous ( ). But ascore ( )! That meant trouble ( ). No train-crew ( ) would ever () let (, ) all ofus ( ) ride ( ).
Imay as well explain here ( ) what ( ) ablind baggage is ( ). Some mail-cars ( ) are built () without doors inthe ends ( ); hence (), such acar ( ) is blind (). The mail-cars ( ) that possess ( ) end doors ( ), have those doors ( ) always locked ( ).
Suppose (, ), after the train ( , ) has started ( ), that (-) atramp (- ) gets on tothe platform ( ) ofone ( ) ofthese blind cars ( ). There is no door ( ), or the door is locked ( ). No conductor ( ) or brakeman ( ) can get tohim ( ) tocollect fare ( ) or throw him off ( ).
It is clear () that the tramp ( ) is safe ( ) until ( , ) the next time the train stops ( ). Then () he must get off ( ), run ahead ( ) inthe darkness (), and () when () the train pulls by( ), jump on () tothe blind again (ࠫ ). But () there are ways and way ( ), asyou shall see ( ).
When () the train pulled out ( ), those twenty tramps ( ) swarmed upon ( ) the three blinds ( ). Some ( ) climbed on before ( , ) the train had run acar-length ( ). They were ( ) awkward dubs ( ), and Isaw ( ) their speedy finish ( ).
Ofcourse (), the train-crew was on ( ), and () at the first stop ( ) the trouble began ( ). Ijumped off ( ) and ran forward ( ) along the track ( ). Inoticed ( ) that () Iwas accompanied byanumber ofthe tramps ( ).
They evidently ( ) knew their business ( ). When () one () is beating ( ) an overland (), he must always ( ) keep well ahead ( , ) ofthe train () at the stops (). Iran ahead ( ), and as Iran ( , ), one byone ( ) those ( ) that () accompanied me ( ) dropped out ( ). This dropping out ( ) was the measure of() their skill ( ) and nerve () inboarding atrain ( ).
For ( ) this is ( ) the way it works ( ). When () the train starts ( ), the shack () rides out the blind ( ). There is no way for him ( ) toget back ( ) into the train () proper except ( ) byjumping off ( ) the blind ( ) and catching aplatform ( ) where the car-ends ( ) are not blind ( ).
When the train ( ) is going () as fast as ( , ) the shack () cares torisk ( ), he thereforejumps off the blind ( ), lets several cars go by( ), and gets on tothe train ( ). So () it is up tothe tramp ( ) torun so far ahead ( , ) that () before the blind ( , ) is opposite him ( ) the shack () will have already vacated it ( ).
Idropped ( ) the last tramp by( ) about fifty feet ( 50), and waited (). The train started ( ). Isaw ( ) the lantern () ofthe shack () on the first blind ( ). He was riding her out ( ). And () Isaw ( ) the dubs stand ( ) forlornly () bythe track ( ) as ( , ) the blind went by( ). They made no attempt ( ) toget on ( ).
They were beaten ( ) bytheir own inefficiency ( ) at the very start ( ). After them (), inthe line-up ( ), came () the tramps that (, ) knew alittle something ( ) about the game ( ). They let the first blind, occupied bythe shack, go by( , ), and jumped on () the second () and third blinds ( ).
Ofcourse (), the shack () jumped off the first ( ) and () on () tothe second () as it went by( ), and scrambled around there ( , , ), throwing off () the men () who () had boarded it ( ). But the point is ( ) that () Iwas so far ahead ( ) that when (, ) the first blind ( ) came opposite me ( ),
the shack () had already left it ( ) and was tangled up ( ) with the tramps () on the second blind ( ). Ahalf dozen () ofthe more skilful ( ) tramps (), who () had run () far enough ahead ( ), made the first blind, too ( ).
At the next stop ( ), as () we ran forward ( ) along the track ( ), Icounted ( ) but fifteen ( 15) ofus (). Five () had been ditched (). The weeding-out () process () had begun nobly ( ), and it continued ( ) station bystation ( ).
Now () we were fourteen ( 14), now twelve ( 12), now eleven ( 11), now nine ( 9), now eight ( 8). It reminded me ( ) ofthe ten little niggers ofthe nursery rhyme ( ). Iwas resolved ( ) that () Ishould be ( ) the last little nigger ( ) ofall (). And why not ( )?
Was Inot blessed ( ) with strength (), agility (), and youth ()? (Iwas eighteen ( 18), and inperfect condition ( ).) And didnt Ihave my nerve with me ( )? And furthermore ( ), was Inot atramp-royal
