Hurst of the Bluff line passed three days In overalls and up to his shoe tops In mud with the crews, working to clear the track in the vicinity of Alton, and none of the big crew of workmen knew that the superintendent of the road was among them. Mr. Hurst was in the ticket office with his rough clothes on when a young man came to the window and Shouted: "What's the name of the guy who la superintendent of this railroad?" “W. C. Hurst,” answered the official, and the young man wrote the nemo on an envelope and went oh to mail a letter, probably asking for a position from the very man to whom he shouted.
