The engineer was a big, raw-boned, good-natured individual named Bill Al- len. It is Bill's story, not my own, that | I am about to tell. It was late one summer evening, as we were winding our way down the little valley and got laid out for eev- eral hours while a section gang ahead repaired a burned trestle, that old Bill sat by the side of his engine and to an attentive audience composed of the train crew and several of the passen- gers who had walked up ahead from | A0 the coach told-the following story: “There is something about this aft- erncon that makes me think of a day of long ago, a day that I shall never be able to efface from my memory. It happened a number of years ago, when I was pulling a passenger train over in the Birmingham district. “On the day I speak of we had on a couple of extra coaches—Sunday school picnig or something of the sort; anyway, the entire train was crowded | full of women and children. “Every time we made a stop I could hear the shouts and the merry laughter of those children up to the engine. “We had pulled into a little station, and [ gat there in the cab watching the children and walting for the con- ductor, who had gone in after orders. “We were on the main track—in fact, there was no siding; just a big | water tank and a turntable, old and |& seldom used. Straight ahead for half 9:2 a mile was one of the steepest grades in the division. Just at the top of the | % grade a branch line turned off for sev- eral miles, leading to the coal mines. “Some way, in switching the coal cars around up there at the top of the grade that afternoon a big, heavily loaded car suddenly got loose and headed down the grade straight as an arrow for our train.

I tried to think of some way to save the train and the helpless women and children, but my brain re- fused to work. “But, gentlemen, there was a better man than myself at hand. My flagman, Rl Bul 2] OB a quick, active young fellow named =] Walker, had taken in the frightful sit. | uation at a glance, and made a wild 12 dash for the turntable, & *“‘Great heavens! Will he be in @ time?' I gasped. |8 “Now the car was almost upon us, | coming like a streak of lightning, & swinging and roaring, and the sparks ? flying from the wheels., Then it struck | 9 the turntable, on to which the flagman 13 had turned the switch—and we were ]‘i' saved! 3 “For the flagman quickly turned the | table around and sent the car flying Q back up the grade! o “It's a fact, gentlemen,” said Bill re- 6 proachfully, as several of his listeners | & turned sadly away. “If you don't be- 2 lieve it, you can see the turntable any time, for it is still there. I can show you the car, too, on the branch to the I coal mines.” e, Exchange Suggested. One evening, as he sat gloomily reading the paper, having grumbled at the dinner, the dog, the baby, the cook and everything else that came along, his wife made a suggestion. “Bertie,” she sald, “would it not be a good thing to rearrange your busi- ness?” “Yes; I might rearrange it into n' rag-and-bone dealer’s. It would prob- | ably pay better. But I don't quite see | how to do it!” he answered, with concentrated sarcasm. ! “I didn’t mean that exactly,” she an- | swered, sweetly. “But could you not manage to be a bear at the office instead of at home?* ORISR DDAFO BT OHOE GO 3 faig =t =02 et 2et ot T T e e “Keep the Quality Up” | Ficrida Electric and Machinery P EHERF ORI OE ¥ KELLEY'S BARRED Plymouth Rocks —.
