Building a Huge
House.
DANNY AND TRAINS
Danny was sitting upon the floor,
building a huge house out of blocks
when he heard a
train whistle.
With a Jump he
was up, the blocks
were knocked
over, and he
.rushed across the
room, climbed
right over his
mother's lap and
was looking out
of the window.
Nothing In this
world was so Im-
portant to Danny
as a train.
He had been on
trains three times,
too. Three differ-
ent times he had
taken trips with
his mother and his father. And the
last two times his little sister Elaine
had gone along, too.
The first time Elaine had not gone
because she had not yet arrived tn
the world.
But even though he had been on
trains, he jumped up every time he
heard the Whistle In the distance.
Then he could see from his window
the smoke curling up from the en-
gine, and he could hear the noise of
the train.
He couldn't see the train from the
house, but by going to the window he
could see the smoke and he could hear
It better, he felt quite sure, by being
a little closer to it.
When he had traveled on trains he
had gone with his daddy down to look
at the big engine when the train was
stopping any place for any length of
time.
Sometimes It stopped for just a mo-
ment or two, and no one got out
Some people complained of the train
and said it made so many stops, but
Danny couldn't understand such peo-
ple.
They had talked to the engine driver.
He was'sitting up in tha engine look-
ing out of the funny little side win-
dow—or opening. Danny wasn't *qult
sure what It should be called, and
when he said to the engine driver:
"Do you call that a window?" the
engine driver had said:
"Call It anything you like, young fel-
low. You won't be hurting my feel-
ings."
The engine driver had told him about
the lights and the signals and what
trains they would pass and how the
locals stopped along the line to pick
up the people who were only going
short distances.
The engine driver had told him
many things, and Danny felt as
though, with a little more help, he
could almost run the train himself.
In fact, the engine driver had said:
"Why, you're learning in no time at
all, all abffut it I wouldn't be sur-
prised to hear you were running a
train Before many years are past."
Danny thought it would be sooner
than that
Elaine hadn't taken the least inter-
est in trains. She had sat Inside In
her mother's lap and hadn't wanted to
go out at all.
But then she was only a little girL
But he loved Elaine. There was that
time when his
mother and daddy
had gone to a
party, and a lady
had. come in to
stay with them.
Elaine had not
liked the strange
lady, and had
cried when she
came into the
nursery. So Danny
had told the lady
that he would
look after Elaine,
and he had prom-
ised her just loads
and loads of candy
and Ice cream aB
soon as he got
some money, and
he had rocked her a little so she had
fallen to sleep.
Still he had cried a little at seeing
Elaine cry. He was very, very de-
voted to Elaine.
Only she didn't care much for trains.
That, he couldn't quite understand.
He went back to his blocks when
the train had gone by, and somehow
he didn't build a house this time. He
started in building a freight yard in
which he put ,his trains. That was the
best idea he jhad had yet.
The very, very best
