Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Not Without Honor the Story of an Odd Boy
Few trains stop at Wilton Junction. The regular mails every day, occasional freight and express packages, and a few passengers once in a while make up all the travel that passes between the Junction and the town.
At noontime the old station is particularly quiet. The official that serves as ticket agent and telegraph Operator usually dozes the hour away in his Chair, while the station master sits outside smoking his pipe. After one o'clock things stir up a bit in prep aration for the train.
Such was the condition of affairs one day in June. The train was approaching, and the station master stood awaiting it, ?ag in hand. As it rolled in, an old darky hobbled around the corner of the station and made for the baggage car as fast as his rheumatic legs would permit.
