The Little Child on the Track, From the Portland Oregonian, Feb. 25, As the freight train on the East Side road was coming into Stephen's Addition on Monday night the engineer and fireman saw, to their horror, alittle child not over 8 years old, bal- ancing her tiny self upon one of the rafls ahead and clapping her hands in greatest glee as the iron monster thundered along toward her. The ee shut off steam and reversed the lever, while the fireman sprang to the topof the train and fet two or three brakes quicker and tighter than they had ever been set before. To blow the whistle would be nothing but murder, thought the engineer, for it would ‘surely fright 2n the child and cause her to fall in front of the train. So he called out, and probably the tones of his voice had never before been so’ tenderly modulated. But calling and motion- ing were of as little avail as the endeavors to stop the heavy irain so suddenly. The little girl, knowing no f-ar, was waving her sunbon- net an her laugh could be heard in the cab of theengine, Thc strongman closed hiseyes and a feeling of sicknesscanre over him.
