First Sentence:	The L. & D. Railroad ran through one of the wildest regions in the whole country, its course being a continuous succession of gullies, mountain gorges, sharp curves and steep ascents from the moment it left Longwood until it reached Dunscombe, one hundred miles distant. (Happy Days edition)
Last Sentence:	Sam Sykes is an old man now, old Jane lives quietly on an allowance given her by Roy, and spends most of her time in telling fortunes with the cards and in tea cups, the L.& D. is the one of the best established roads in the West, having bought up many of its former connecting lines, and Roland Ray, Esquire, is now its president, and is considered by his friends to be, as in the old days when he was a boy engineer, Always on Time.
