~_——— e INVISIBLE COLOR BOOK. { , LEARN TO DRAW So you can make little pictures of your own to paint and color like you have learned to do painting the INVISIBLE pictures in this book. Read carefully the following simple_instructions. you will quickly learn how to draw the objects your art teacher has suggested here. LESSON 10 Editer’s Note to Pareats The A, B, C's of drawing, we have ‘This course of instruction Jearned are A, the circle, B, the .drawing for the little ones is square, and C, the triangle. We ed and planned to give theim an have learned also that we can use derstanding of the few simple them to make pictures with, the damental shapes that are used same as we write words by using the constructie the A, B, C's we learned at school. In other lessons we have made pic- tures by using them. Notice that A, B and C in today’s lesson are used to make up the different ob- jects by separating some of the lines, which allow a freedom in the drawing. See how well you can make up a drawing, using the A, B, C's and parts of each. Look for these shapes in everything you try to draw, and see how easy it is to THE DEADHEAD By Hal Clifford g | W HEN Charles Murray climbed into the cab of the engine and sat on the L] running trains. The flagman came on the run te the engine, uncoupled it from§ the trl:gn and fave the signal to go ahead. With hardly a glance to the rear, “Red™ openpd the thretils wide.

He hoped that the other traim be a seat behind “Red,” the engineer, he was very happy, and accepted the title of “Deadhead” with a big smile. The anticipation of a ride in the engine with the fastest man in the freight service was enough; and he knew that it was a privilege to go deadhead. Any boy in the village would envy him. Charles went once a month to visit his grandmother, who lived near the rails; road, a fews miles ‘“}i: Hel:ag d:'mdeth th‘fi trip m)?nyztimet, riding with tiu : engineer.

The orders that the dispatcher issued to trains was, the. part- of the - they hfi'}m fl.u;?d Vi 8 m ¥ % the R work he enl‘o.yed most, and often his father would let him copy or repeat an order =~ - | i g A e for the O. This made him acquainted with the different meeting -points along T - the road. His rides on the trains to visit his grandmother gave him ‘the oppor-! -... " tunity to see the orders carried out. He understood beyond his years the business of running trains. The men could talk to him in tho‘um.u e of 'the road, and liked to teach him about their work. Charles was quite at lome sitting in the cab, while they were waiting for the signal to go. He leaned out of the window,' watching “Red,” who had stepped down to the platform,: to Joe, the con- ductor. He could not hear what they were saying on account of the noise of the . engine, but both men had their watches, ng the time. “Red” wag exs.-. plaining with motions something about guttinfi T St L R When he took his place in the cab again he was mutteylg, 10 Himself somes thing about “the old woman,” and “Joe ought to be rumimin’ a wheelbarrow.”, ” Tumi;lt tAotfié: ?mnn. hol said: ';l)ic thinks we m’t na?e "on' Tor NOML erazy {” a signal came to go. “Red” Charles'to “whigtle.off,”'s ‘ started the train forward, Charles gave two short blasts :th the whistle, - . “Red” looked again at his watch, and remarked to Charles: “Look—figot eighteen minutes to clear; if I can’t rap this old girl, with a light train like this, over there in eleven or twelve minutes, name is not ‘Red’ Downy.” With this,’ he gave the throttle a notch or two and the train moved faster. ¢ A sense of tremendous power came to Charles as he watched the en, respond to the experienced hand of “Red,” as he coaxed and talked to it. fireman was busy with his duties, watching the water and steam gauges; with an easy swing he would open the door to the firebox and spread a shovelful of coal into it, by letting the shovel bounce on the lower edge of the opening. This would send the coal to all corners of the firebox and give a great heat for the steam. Charles could look through the window and see the % wheels turning,’ faster, faster, faster. “Red” would "hook ’er up,” as he‘eal iMntfl at last the lever stood almost in the center. By this time the boy thought foing as fast as he had ever ridden with Jim on the :lunm e:glm. As ho’ ooked out ahead along the side of the big boiler, at the bell and smokestack, with the steam and smoke going. straight over his head, the engine rolled and m“‘ like a monster alive, in a race sgainst time. It was a new sensation to lea to be riding at top speed, knowing that not many miles away there was a tn.is coming toward them at the same or greater speed, on the same track. He ; that No. 3 was the fast express train and what time it was due at “XN,” where they were :peed:s now to get into clear and out of its way. He knew also that they were supposed, according to the rules, to be in the clear, with switches clesed, y ten minutes before No. 3 was due. The right of way belonged to No. 8. and the engineer of the passenger train would expect everything clear at “XN" as well. as at all points he came to. » “Red” knew this and was sure he could make it with at least eight or nine minutes to clear; that would be near enough for hi m. ] He turned to Charles and shouted eclose to his ear: “She’s rollin’ pretty; swell, kid; we’ll make it hands down and have time to read a book when we get there. Look back along the tops of ‘em; ain't they bobbin’ pretty?” He had directed the boy to Jook at the train as it followed and how the cars were rolling from side to side. As Charles stood up to see over the tender of the engine, he felt a sudden jerk or jolt, that threw him forward against the engineer:.' before he could recover, it was repeated with more force, and the engine seemed to be slowing down. As he struggled to regain his feet he could hear the grind- ing of the brakes and feel the train coming to a stop, There was something wrong back there in the train that caused the brakes to set. y “Red"” looked at his watch. “Eleven minutes,” he said; “three more and we'd been pullin’ in; that's what y’ get for keepin® a kicker in the line; I told Joe to c::t it gufi rgg'w we will have to run a flag and explain to the old man why we stopped No, 3. The train had come to a standstill on the long curve leading to the switch at’ “XN.” about a mile or so further on. It put them in a dangerous position, not only for themselves, but for No. 3 as well. It meant action, quick action for the O-ntire crew, and Charles had a char;ce to see more of the great checker game of ' “The flagman had the switch open for us and ‘Red’ never shut off (The_End) bued y tredn, "The engineer leaned over and said: “Got a hunch she is Inte; maghe we get in. They will have that ear cut out of the line and we can hook right on.® It was as he said about the ear, mm.ummcm,nu-g’?h it took but a short time to couple the engine to the train. With two loud of the whistle, they were off agaih on another race to make the siding before the flagman would have to stop the fast express train. J A few days Tater Charles told his father of the ride and how they pulled in at “XN” without stopping No. 3. “Gee, Pop! ‘Red’ is some enginesr,” he we nearly elear. Soon as we started in he.called the flagman. No lnter'{nt showed up just as we hit the switch.
