Jim Donnelly, a Re tit at a small subur
ban railway station, not seeing promo
tion where be was, asked to be trans
ferred to some more promising posi
tion. The system was a long one, pen
etrating Into what were then the back
woods of North America. The com
pauy needed men on the frontier, bill
unfortunately those positions were so
unattractive that the employees then
could not he made to hold their places
Jim was toid that be might have a
passenger train in this region, but was
advised that the people traveling then
were hard to manage, and it was fear
ed that be would give tip I lie job aftei
learning the conditions.
Jim had commenced railroading as e
brakeman The salary of conductoi
was much better than that of agent ai
an Inferior station, and he decided tc
uceept the position. Another induce
meut was that if he succeeded in run
ning his train through the lawless dis
trlct with regularity he would be ad
vanced to a higher position.
The main trouble Jim's predecessors
had experienced was collecting fares.
The people of the country made all
sorts of excuses for not paying theli
way, and if the conductor tried to put
them o!T the train they would make a
fight One conductor had been killed,
another severely wounded, and others
had been too frightened to Insist on
getting the fare All this was explain
ed to the applicant
Jim thought the matter over and
made up his mind that lu- would tight
his way to a mastery ot the situation
He would not undertake the job with
out seeins it through The lights tin
conductors had experienced were with
individuals, and so long as he was not
called upon to light several men at
once Jim saw no reason why he should
"fiot stand as a chance as the oth
er fellow, though he was not a largv
man nor especially muscular He was
quite Ingenious and roliid on his think
Ing powers to provide nays of collect
ing fares
Jim had been niniiln? his train sev
eral days without ttoul'le when t
wild looking man got on a! a wilder
ness station, and when Jim asked hitr
for his fare the passesitrer, feeling
through his pockets, tinally took out a
dirty paper on which hi' had himself
written n pass Jim handed it back
to blm with the laconic reman;, -.no
good." The man began to berate the
conductor with Ills tongue for insult
Ing him. at the same time putting bii
hand to his hip for his revolver Jim
put his huiul into his outside coat pool;
et and. pulling out a rubber bulb, re
peated his request for tlie fare. The
mau was getting ills revolver in posl
tlon for a draw when .lim placed the
bulb before tbe rascal's face anil
pressing it. tilled his eves with red pep

iug advantage of his blindness, made
a grab for his revolver and se ined it.
Then, pulling thi- i el: iupe lie took
the man by the collar and hustled him
to the door, giving him a kii'c as he
dropped him off the train
The next man who rcfuseit to pay
his fare was a countryman. »!io relied
on his muscle to protect him from i cing
put off tbe train by the conductor The
fellow was certainly very strong and
prided himself on being able to lake
care of ar.y man without the use of
arms. Wbcn Jim asked liita for his
fare he searched for his ticket or pre
lended to do so. then said that he had
lost it. Jim, who understood the man's
game, passed 011 collecting. When llie
train reached the next station he got
out, went to the baggage car, took a
new punch out of a bag, and when the
train started on went through the cars
again. Coming to the man who had
lost his ticket, be told him that he
must pay his fare or get off the train,
whereupon tbe passenger told him that
If he was strong enough to eject him
he wag welcome to do so.
Quick as a tlash Jim gripped tbe
man's nose with bis punch, which held
l)v means 01 n coupie 01 euarp projec
tions. The nipped man fought like a
tlner, but every time he struck a blow
Jim pressed the nipper, and In a very
few minutes his prisoner ceased to
struggle. Jim pulled the bell rope, but
before the train came to a full stop
threw his prisoner into n ditch beside
the road.
Stories of the conductor's novel meth
ods of putting off travelers who refus
ed to pay their fare were spread broad
cast by passengers who witnessed
them and lost nothing by repetition.
The countrymen along the line were
ased to fighting with their fists or their
revolvers and were entirely put out of
their reckoning by such unprecedented
methods of warfare. It required but
Ihese two instances to stop the refusal
to pay fares, for after the second ejec
tion no one else cared to take the risk
Df running up against some new plan
of the conductor of accomplishing his
purpose.
Meanwhile the railroad was civiliz
ing the people who lived beside it A
respect for law and order was creep
ing in, and public sentiment was turn
Ing against the carrying of weapons
In other words, the people were be
coming a peaceful farming community
rim Donnelly's success In collecting
'ares was noted in the general offices
if the railroad company, and one day
le received the appointment of divi
ilon superintendent.
