THE BALTIMORE AND OHIO EMPLOYES MAGAZINE 55 world. I can see him, dropping off the train,lighting his pipe in the windless shelter of a pileof weather-beaten ties, and setting forth up theGunpowder valley to discover the romantichamlets of Madonna and Trump, lost in thatgreen paradise of Maryland June. Or the littletowTi of Loreley, on the other side of the stream!Think of the fireflies and the honeysuckle on aJune evening in the village of Madonna! Ah,well, of what avail to imagine these things!The train, unluckily, does not stop. And Baltimore itself, with its unique andleisurely charm, its marvelously individual at-mosphere of well-being and assured lovelinessand old serenity, how little it realizes how en-chanting it is! Baltimore ought to pay aspecial luxury tax for the darkeyed and almostinsolent beauty of its girls, who gaze at onewith the serene candor of unquestioned divinity.But that is a topic that belongs to Baltimorechroniclers, and we may not trespass on theirprivileges.
