He makes application for a leave of absence, and he and Alice are married. On his return, Boynton learns from the crusty, old general manager, Jonathan Bushkirk, that he is fired. But the bride is very resourceful. An empty freight train, standing in the railway yards, suggests to her a bright plan. Since the railroad would not grant them a vacation, they will take their honeymoon at the road's expense, and in one of its own cars. Dan and Alice collect a few camping comforts and make themselves at home in one of the freight cars. When the train pulls out that night, the honeymooners are discovered. But the train crew, learning of the romance, decide to wink at the violation of rules. They become the firm friends of the young couple. There occurs to Dan a scheme which will enable them to keep indefinitely their improvised cottage. At one of the stops, he climbs a telegraph pole, and by means of a pocket kit, sends a message purporting to be from the general manager, ordering the station agent at the next stop to hold the car on the siding until further orders. The loss of the car causes Bushkirk no little worry. Learning why and where it has been held up, he arrives in person to investigate. To his amazement, he finds his discharged operator and former stenographer living in the car. Their "nerve" makes a great hit with him. He appoints Dan Boynton his chief assistant.
