L. Alden 1n 8t Louls Republie While the westward bound express was stopplug at the Jericho station, I noticed that the station master was in elose conver sation with the englne driver. This was an unusual act on his part, as he strictly up held the dignity of his office, and held no communication with engine drivers except to hand them such telegraphic orders as he might happen to have received for them So after the train had departed, and the station master had returned to his usual lounging place on the platform, I asked him who was the man with whom he bad been conversing. “That man?®* he replied. ““That was Hank Stevens, the best engineer on this or any other road. I've known him for going on twenty years, and have helped to pull him out from under three wrecked engines He's wugh nowadays, but o that ther Just the greatest hustler, and the biggest darcdevil, that ever handled the throttle of an engine. auiet and careful there was a timo wh man was “There is mothing in the wor the station master, “‘that requires the nerve that engl driving requires. You may talk about your soldiers and your sailors, and I don’t deny that they are a nervy lot, but they don't compare with an er. When the see themselves tung into a tight place they have some time to look about them and to make up their minds what to do; but when an engineer, running, sa forty miles an hour, round a sha meets an engine coming his way on l]w same track, he hasn't even time to cuss All lie can do is to reverse his engine, which most times is a big mistake, as I've heard our best engineers say, and either to jump and break his neck, or to stay and be smashed. Of course the engineer in such eir- cumstances isn't always killed, especially if he sticks to his-engine, but 1 tell you it takes nerve to handle a lever and wait like an intelligent man when another engine is Imost atop of you. Nine men out of ten ould drop on the floor of the cab and say the first bit of a prayer that they could lay a hand to. “Speaking of nerve reminds me that there was an engineer on #his road once who lost his nerve under very singular circumstance and Hank Stevens was at the bottom of those circumstances, as you might say. It isn't at all uncommon for an engineer to lose his nerve. It may happen through hav- ing his spinal marrow hurt in an accident; at least that's what the doctors say, or it may be that he has been frightened once clean through, and when tnat happens he's done for. The least little thing will frighten a man who has had one good scare, and he knows it, and is always on the lookout for something that is going to scare him. There are men who will run an engine for forty s and then something will happen; some little thing, perhaps, like a collision, or go- ing off a bridge, or the bursting of the boiler, after that they are never fit to run even ttle train. Now this hyer Hank Stevens at the time I am speaking of engineer of the engine that hauledl the accommodation train between Athensville and Tiberius Cen- ter, and Matt McGinnis was engineer of the express, being a man who had been thirty years in the company's service, and was con sidered to have no superior n his line. He was a very nice, quiet sort of fellow, and he didn’t like Hani's noisy and reckless ways, for there's no denying that Hank was reck- less at times. I don't object to an engineer taking chances when there is anything to be made by it, but Hank just took a pleasure in running for a siding when he knew that he had only mebbe a minute to make it in, and that if he didn’t make it, or if his watch happened to be a minute slow, another train would be into him. That's what I call reck- lessness, and I don't care who says it ain't. Well, every afternoon Hank's train used to meet the express. Going up he would meet lier about ten miles north of here, and going down he would meet her just a mile out of Spartansville, It was his duty to go on a siding and wait for the express, but when she was five minutes late Hank Imd the right of way and could go ahead and require the express train to wait for him. You may bet your lite he never waited more than the five minutes, and sometimes he would pull out when he could hear the express coming and make her back down to the next station. “There was a girl somewhere on the line, I disremember just exactly where, though come to think of it she must have lived at Spartansville. No, she couldn’t, either, for the accommodation never stopped the night there, and so Hank couldn't have spent his evenings with her, which was his gen rule. She must have lived at Tiberius C ter, where Hunk lald up at night and where Matt McGinnis lived when he was at home. Well, anyway, we'll say she lived there, and it isn’t of any consequence where she did live, so far as this hyer story is con- cerned. “Both the men were dead fn love with the girl, and she didn’t seem disposed to make up her mind which of the two she liked best Hank used to come to see her pretty near every evening at about 8 o'clock and Matt used to spend most of the ivo hours he had in Tibeflus Center every day from 8:30 to 1:34 at her house. As far as I could judge, Matt was making a littlo the best heddway, for he always hed the girl to himself when he ¢ alled, while when Hank was there in the evening, her father and mother were apt to be on hand. “Hank was terrible jealous of Matt and he never lost a chance to make things unpleas- ant for him on the road. He would pull out from the siding where he had been waiting for the express a minute before she was due, and when he met her he would show hig watch,+ which he had shoved on until she was two or three minutes fast, and stick to it that she was right. oning with him wouldn't do any good. There was his train on the track and he wouldn’t budge an inch, 50 iu (he end the express train would have to back down, and Hank wonld remark to Matt that if he didn't get a new watch he would come to grief some day. “Why didn't he complain to the superin- tendent? So he did, but when the superin- tendent called Hank up and questioned him Hank's watch was exactly right, and he stuck to his story till the superintengent believed him, and he began to think hat Matt was getting a little too old and less. This wouldn't have made much odds to Matt, it it hadn’t been that he found him self wondering If possibly Hank's watch was right, and if he himseclf wa beginning to show signs of falling. This is just what Hank was working for, for he had sworn that he would make Malt lose his nerve providing Matt got the better of him with the girl. Then Hank took to halting his teain on a down grade, and informed the conductor that his engine wasn't working Just right nd required a little repairing. He would make a big show of unscrewing a nut here and easing a valve ther and then he would ofl her and spill a lot of oil on the rafls. When the express cume a. groaning and a-panting and a-puffing up the Nill, her driving wheels would strike the ofl and slip, and the traln would be stuck long cnough to make her come into the next sta tion ten minutes or so behind time. Matt knew well enough that Hank was playing it on him, but he couldn’t prove anything, don't you see, and all he could do was o 5w and take the reprimands that he got without attempting to defend himself. “After awhile the girl made up her mind and she took Matt. 1 don’t blame her, for though he was pretty old for her, he was a good man with considerable cash in the bank and a big life insurance policy, while Hank hadn’t a cent beyond his pay, and was lable from his reckiess ways to b ashed almost any day. Of conrse Matt was In high spirits over his success, and Hank was correspondingly nasty, The first time the two met Malt says: ‘Look hore Hank Stevens! I've had about enough of your games and I'm not golug to give you the right of way m more times, when you know as well as 1 do that you're not entitled to it, Some day you'll pull out of that siding abead of timo once too often.' ““What are you proposing for to do in the premlses? says Hank, who had a fine command of language and could be most deadly polite when he wanted to b “*I propose,’ says Matt, ‘for to open my throtile and smash your dirty little ac commodation traln into 5,000,000 splinters and you with it, That's what I Intend to do, and what I ought to have done long 1go, only 1 had a weak sore of fecling for your passengers,’ ‘Al Tight,’ says Hank. ‘You come along with your bullyragging old expross and try to smash if you want to, We'll see who | will o ton the of the heap. I've | generally vt two carloads of al | i Just behind my engine and I ecal'late you'll have some little trouble driving through them.' “Now Hank knew well enough that Matt meant what he safd. Matt was, as 1 have told you, a mighty caroful and conselens tious ‘man, but you could drive him too far, and he had certainly made up his mind to run into Hank's train it it kept getting in his way, and I don’t blame him. Howeve ho never did run fnto Hank's train, though he thought he did, but Hank worked a little game on him that left him with no more nerve than a race horse that is trightened by a bit of paper and thinks it's going to rise up and tear him all to pieces. “About a week went by and Hank never crowded the express off the track except once, and he did that when ho knew that Matt's girl was on the train, and that he turally wouldn't scare her by a collision. The very fact that the girl was there at the time made it all the more hard for Matt to back his train down and give Hank the right of way, for, of course, she supposed that Matt had made some sort of mistake in his .calenlations and had endangered hor precious life. S0 the next time the two men met, which was the very next day, Matt sings out: _‘You've done that trick for the last time. You do it again and I swear solemnly without end that Il run you down Ploase yourself,' says Hank, and then he saw that the time had come for carrying out a plan that he had devised for destro; ing Matt's usefulness YA weck, or mebbe ten days, or mebbe a fortnight, later tho express came round a sharp curve near Antioch about 7 o'clock at night, and precious dark It was, too, at that time of year. Matt was two hours late, owing fo a frefght train having got off the track ahead of him and he had received a telegram ordering him to pass the accommo- dation five miles cast of Antioch, where sho would wait for him on the siding. Matt was running at about forty-five miles an hour, trying to make up a little time, and ho kept wondering whother Hank would wait for him on that siding or would pull out and come along down the road just so as to delay the express an hour or so longer, ‘It ho does’ says Matt to himself, loud enough for the fireman to hear him, ‘there’ll be the biggest smash that this road has seen this year.' Just at that minute the express swung ‘round the curve and thero was an engine on the track not more than forty yards ahead. Her headlight was blaz- ing away and right under it Matt could read the number of Hank's engine, which was No. 24, unless T am mistaken. 1 re- member it because it was the engine that used to haul the train (hat I was baggago- master of; a year before this hyar incident ned. liere he s, says Matt, ‘and he's done it once too often.’ With that he pulls her wide open and stands to his post. The ex- press engine gave a big jump and fatrly sprang onto No. 34—that {s, of course, unless I'm mistaken in thinking it was 34, and I don’t believe 1 am. Still a man can’t al- ways trust his memory, and I know that mine ain't. what it once wa “Well, the two engines came together, and Matt, he shut his cyes for a minute, for in such circumstances a man can’t very well help winking. To his tremendous astonish- ment there wasn't so much as a jar, let alone a crash. No. 34—yes, I remember now, that that was her number—just sort of opened out, as you might say, and seemed to fall in pieces on each side of Matt's engine. There wasn't any train of any sort behind 34, and the express went on her way rejoleing. “‘Matt turns to the fireman with a face as white as a consumptive parson's and says did you see that engine?’ er saw anything plainer in my life,’ Jim, ‘but it wasn’t no engine. That was a ghost If ever there was one.’ ““‘We ran through it," says Matt, “as easy as if it was a fog bank. Well, if ever I get this train to Tiberius Center somebody else will have to take her back.” hey do say that when the express camo into Tiberius Center that night Matt had to be helped oft the engine, and helped to his house and a doctor sent for. The doctor said the man was suffering from a severo nervous shock and must keep perfactly quiet. Matt he sent in his resignation the very next day and never drove an engine on our road afterward. He hung 'round drinking middling hard and keeping quliet, according to the doctor's. orders, for about a month, and then he got a berth on the Montana Southern road. But he wasn't of the slightest use. His nerves were clean gone. He'd think he saw things on the track when there was nothing but mebbe a moonbeam, and he'd call for brakes and stop his train, and have the biggest kind of job in trying to tell the conductor what he had stopped the train for. The company dismissed him after about six months and Matt gave up railroading, and s now driving a truck in Chicago. ‘I don’t know whether he knows the trick Hank played on him or not, but thig was the way of It: Hunk spent a lot of money in Chicago for a pastboard engine, made to look exactly like No. 34 and pro- vided with a genuine headlight all com- plete. Then he had this hyer Quaker en- gine set up on the track just round a curve at a time when he knew that- the only train which could possibly come along would ba the express. Of course he had several fellows engaged in the thing with him, but Hank was a mighty popular chap with the boys, and he could always find help enough for any game that he might want to carry out. Of course the express engine went through the pasteboard concern without feeling it and 1 don't blame Matt for ing It was a ghost, especially as he liad the fireman to back him In that opinion “I don't justify Hank, for I always con- sidered that he played it altogether too low down on Matt, and Hank allows that he did, now that he is older and has come ta Icok at things rationally. 1 don’t think it's the sort of thing he'd do now, though, of course, the heart is deceitful and desperately wicked, as the good book ‘ “What's that you say? Never heard that a locomotive could have a ghost? Wel ANl T can say {8 that If you were a raflroad man you would know that ghosts of engines and ghosts of whole traing, slecping cars and all, have been seen time and again by railroad men. 1f 1 had time now 1'd tell you of a ghost train that used to run on this very road, and that I've seen with my own identical, individual eyes.
