"Cinders" by W. C. Tuttle is a humorous short story published in the early 20th century, specifically noted in a 1924 magazine issue. The narrative follows the escapades of James Worthington Steele, a railroad magnate, as he attempts to deal with an important issue related to his railroad during an unexpected delay on his private train. The story explores themes of amusement, romance, and the chaotic nature of life through its colorful characters and a comedic situation. In the narrative, James Worthington Steele finds himself stuck on his private car, the Lake Louise, while his wife insists on playing pinochle, much to his dismay. Meanwhile, their daughter Alicia, bored and seeking excitement, inadvertently sends a distress message about a robbery in progress on their car. Slim Simpson, a lovesick cowboy, and Sadie Thompson, the jealous maid of his choice, get drawn into the events surrounding the holdup. When Slim bravely chases the thief, known as Soup Lannigan, the story climaxes in a humorous confrontation. Ultimately, Slim comes to realize that a perceived wink from Alicia was actually just a cinder in her eye, reaffirming the story's lighthearted tone and comedic misinterpretations.
