The Prisoner of Zenda
By Anthony Hope
It was Joe Giddy's business to walk back along the curve about three hundred yards and put
out torpedoes to warn any train which might be coming up from behind--a freight crew is
not notified of trains following, and the brakeman is supposed to protect his train. Ray
was so fussy about the punctilious
observance of orders that almost any brakeman would take a chance once in a while, from
natural perversity.

The next morning, the barber came to work and there were 12 prayer books and a thank you note from the priest in front of the door. Later that day, a police officer came in and got his hair cut. He then asked how much it was. The barber said, "No charge. I consider it a service to the community." The next morning, he came to work and there were a dozen donuts and a thank you note from the police officer. Then, a Senator came in and got a haircut. When he was done he asked how much it was. The barber said, "No charge. I consider it a service to the country." The next morning, the barber came to work and there were 12 Senators in front of the door.
