The brakie could talk above the racket, and so, of course, could Lefty Joe.

The brakie had touched Lefty Joe for two dollars; he had secured fifty cents; and since the vigor of Lefty's oaths had convinced him that this was all the money the tramp had, the two now sat elbow to elbow and killed the distance with their talk.

"It's like old times to have you here," said the brakie.

" "Kind of queer to see you," continued the brakie.

"Heard you were the main guy with a whole crowd behind you," went on the brakie.

The brakie scratched his head, for the silence of the tramp convinced him that there had been, after all, a good deal of truth in the rumor.

" The brakie could hear the click of his companion's teeth at the period to this statement, as though he regretted his outburst.

"Well, I'll be hanged," murmured the brakie innocently.

The brakie was impressed; he repeated the three names.

The brakie stirred a little, wabbling from side to side as he found a more comfortable position; instead of looking straight before him, he kept a side-glance steadily upon his companion, and one could see that he intended to remember what was said on this night.

"Even Suds," echoed the brakie.

" The brakie considered this bit of news and rolled it back and forth and tried its flavor against his gossiping palate.

" The brakie waited, grinning securely into the night, and preparing his mind for the story.

"Him?" cried the brakie, starting in his place.

I ask you, who's Donnegan?" "A guy that makes trouble," replied the brakie, evidently hard put to it to find a definition.

What with Kennebec Lou and Suds both gone, what chance did I have to hold the boys together?" 2 The brakie heard this recital with the keenest interest, nodding from time to time.

The brakie broke into laughter "Don't kid yourself along," he warned.

He saw Lefty sway toward him; but, all stories aside, it is a very bold tramp that cares for argument of a serious nature with a brakie.

He fumbled, and finally passed a scrap of the paper into the hand of the brakie.

Can't be done, Lefty!" "One buck, did you say?" Lefty Joe expertly lighted a match in spite of the roaring wind, and by this wild light the brakie read the denomination of the bill with a gasp.

But to the brakie all this was no more than a calm night.

Without any answer to that last monosyllabic query, the brakie hunched forward, and began to work his way up the train.

Then he, in turn, moved from his place, and worked his way along the train in the opposite direction to that in which the brakie had disappeared.

He knew, by a little reflection, that this must be cattle country, for the brakie had intimated as much in their talk just before dusk.
