PAGE SIX As I put cown my name and the number of the crack engine of America—as well as the imprint of a greasy thumb--on the register of our roundhouse last Saturday night, the foreman lorrowed a chew of my fire- man’s fine-cut, and said to me: “John, that old feller that’s putting on the new injectors wants to see you.” “What does he want, Jack?” said L. “I don’t remember to have seen him, and I'll tell you right now that the old squifts on the 411 are good enough for me—I ain't got time to monkey with new fangled injectors on that run.” “Why. he s he knowed you out West 15 y ago.” * What kind o’ looking chap is white as snow.

After supper I went up to the hotel) and asked for J. 5. Wainwr Maybe you think Jim and I didn’t go ver the history of the “ eo To a man ¥ years there the memory of it is like the memory of marches, skirmishes and battles in the mind of the veteran soldier. I guess we start- ed at the lowest number e road and gossipel about each and every crew. ‘We had finished the list of engineers and had fairly started on the firemen when a thought struck me, and I said: “Oh, I forgot him, Jim—the ‘Kid,’ your cheery little cricket of a firesy, who thought Jim Wainwright the only man on the road that could run an engine right. I remember he wouldn't take a job running switcher—said a may that didn’t know that firing for Jim Wainwright was a better job than running was crazy. . What's become of him, Running, I suppose?” Jim Wainwright put his hand up to his eycs for a minute, and his voice was a little husky as he said: “No, John, the Kid went away—" “Went away “Yes, across the Great Divide-- dead.” “That's tough,” said I, for 1 saw Jim felt bad. “The Kid end you were like two brothers.” “John, I loved tho—” Then Jim broke down. He got his hat and coat, and said: “Johw, let's get out into the air—I feel. all choked up here; and I'll tell you a strange, true story—the Kid's story.” AS we got out of the crowd and into Boston Common, Jim told his story, and here it is, just as I remember it— and I'm not bad at remembering. “Pl commence at the beginning, | young and. inexperionced. you. knuw.! away and want to see her, will you,! room—and: he added:wif:T was your John, so that you will understand.

Her eyes spatkicd and her face kindled when I touched on snow-bucking experience. She often said that if she was a mah she’é go © Was really | uve been ar mark she would usually sigh and smile at the same time. One day when the engine was pretty neariy ready, she said to me: “Mr, Wainwright, who is going to fire the Experiment?’ i “7 don’t know. 1 had forgot vbout that; I'll Have to see about it.’ “It wouldn't be of much use to get) an experienced man, would it—the engine will burn a new {uti Ina new way?’ Xo,’ said J, ‘not much.’ “ ‘Now,’ said she, coloring. « little, ‘let me ask a favor of you. ! have a I don’t want nim to go unless! firing. he is it’s with a man I can trust; Won't you take him?

I gave|I know he will try to please you and up hope of being a inventor and ajdo his duty; don't forget how green benefactor of mankind, but study had awekened in me the desire for im- provement; and after considerable thought I came to the conclusion that the best thing I could do was to try to be the best runner on the road, just 2s a starter. In reality, in my inmost soul, my highest ideal was the master mechanic's position. “Iwas about 25 years old, and had been running between two or three years, with pretty good success, when one day the general master mechanic sent for me. In the office 1 was in- troduced to a gcaitleman, and the. G. M. M. said to him in my presence: “‘This is the engincer I spoke to you of. We have none Detter. I think he would suit you cxactly, and when you are through with him, send hin back; wo are only lending him, mind, and he went out into the shop. “The meaning of it all.was that the stranger represented a firm that had put up the money to build a locomo- tive with a natent boiler for burning @ patent fuel—she had an improved valve motion, too--andthey had asked our G. M. M. for a good engineer to send east and break in and run the new machine and go with her around the country on ten-day trials on the different roads.

They were a big con- cern in another line, and the head ot the housc: we3 a relative of our G. M. M.—that’s why he had a chance to send me. “After the usual 4ntroductipn, president soid to me: “ ‘Now, Mr. Waitiwright, this new engine of ours is hardly started yet.

The next. day he brought me word that his sister had, I start- ed fior Chicago the day following, \the had ‘lit{la trouble in getting the Kid on with’ ma!’as my old fireman had been promoted.
