It meant a terrible disaster. He closed his throttle and put on the brakes in an instant. One summer morning a 12-car train containing the members of a Sunday school was bound for a picnic at a point about fifty miles distant. Al- though the sky was cloudless when the cxcursion started, the train had not proceeded more than half way when a thunderstorm broke. The rain fell in torrents. The engineer was worried for fear the terrific downpour might cause a washout or a spreading of the rails and he slowed down to about 35 miles an hour. “Better stick to it,” he shouted to his fireman. help us all!” His last words were drowned by a terrific crash of thunder which came simultaneously with a flash of light- ning that seemed to strike the ground just ahead of the engine. The next thing they knew they were past the station, still riding safely on the main line rails. The most remarkable instance of this sort happened many years ago on a railroad in eastern Missouri. The story was told recently in the oficial organ of the Order of Railway Con. ductors. » engineer and conductor hurried back to discover what had happened and how the ‘train had passed the open switch. They found that the light- ning had struck squarely between the switch and the rail and closed the No man eludes death oftener or more narrawly than the locomotive engineer, says Mr. Thaddeus 8.

He goes on to tell of some of those “close calls” which every engineer must reckon as a. day’s work. There are a few cases, we aretold, when Providence steps in and averts a dis- aster which seems inevitable. QUICK WI’I‘TED HEROISM. More often the story of a c10se call is “a tale of quick thinking heroism" “It was the act of God,” said the engineer. Mrs. D. McLaughlin entertained a number of friends in honor of Mr. and Mrs. J.

In an instant the whirl- ing bar of steel had smashed the cab 'and broken the controlling/mechan- [ism, so that it was impossible to Q bring the train to a stop by ordinary ’means. The great l'ocomotive lunged forward like a runaway horse that had thrown its rider. In someâ€"way, however, Lutz, the engineer, fad es- i caped injury. He crept to the Lppo-I site side of the cab and climbed r-ut through the little window upon the boiler to try and reach some of the controlling apparatus from the out- side. He was working himself along astride the scorching boiler when sud- denly the engine struck a curve which it took at terrific speed. The shock half threw the engineer from his per- ilous position, but he saved himself by grasping the bell rope. Then he worked himself down along the un- injured side of the swaying locomot- ive to where he could open one of the principal steam valves. A cloud of vapor rushed forth with a tremendous roar. Although robbed of its power the locomotive did not slacken speed until it reached the bottom of the grade. Then little by little the thre- shing of the great drive rod, which was pounding the upper part of the engine to pieces, grew slower, and tin- ally it stopped. No one was killed or injured and not a passenger in the long train knew until it was over of the danger that had been avoided so narrowly. If it had not been for the bravery of the engineer one of the worst wrecks in the history ,of rail- roading might have resulted." AN EXTRAORDINARY CLOSE CALL “A heavily loaded flier was sailing along one‘ night at between sixty and seventy miles an hour, approaching a broad river that was spanned by a drawbridge, which was sometimes op- en and sometimes closed. The train was supposed to come to a halt and the englneer to find out. It all was well he would sound the whistle and One of the most extraordinary close calls that an engineer eVer had, oc- curred on a Western railroad last year, says Mr. Dayton : “No disaster comes so unexpectedly and is so much dreaded as this. Al- most invariably it happens when the engine is running at high speed, When a driver breaks it is amiracle it the men in the cab escape with their lives. If they do survive, and by their heroism succeed in stopping the train and avoiding a wreck, de- spite the rain of blows from this huge flail of steel, their act brings forth a greater measure of praise than almost any other forms of bra- very that the railroad knows. THE BROKEN DRIVING ROD. ;‘Occasionally a fastening of one of the great driving rods will break, Then at every revolution of the wheel to which the other end is attached, the great steel bar, weighing several thousand pounds, will come swinging like a Titan’s flail, beating three hundred strokes aminute. lthe end, and they began to roll" ?down hill at a terrific speed. A long passenger train had just arrived. and the runaway cars. The engineer of the passenger train saw the approa- ching danger and realized in a flash that the on-rushing cars must be stopped at all hazards before they reached the station. Otherwise there would be a terrible loss of life. He uncoupled his engine, sprang; into the cab and opened the throttle. The big engine bounded forward like a spirited horse struck with a whip. At} the last moment before the collision} the engineer shut of! the steam and' jumped. He landed unhurt in a heap of Cinders. The engine crashed into the runaway cars and in an instant later there was nothing left of the locomotive or the cars but a mass of wreckage. At least a hundred lives were saved by the engineer's prompt action.” steep grade, about half {£119 from the station when the couplings broke between the third and fourth car from. We are told of an engineer, whose presence of mind saved scores of lives in Newark, N.J., one December day. a few years ago. ”A freight train was going 1m :1 was going up a Such things as these make the en- gineers fatalists. According to Mr. Dayton, all of them believe that they will die when their time comes, and there isn’t much use of worrying ab- out it. Mr. Dayton concludes with the story of an engineer on a Southern railroad, who firmly believes that he bears a charmed life. SAVED BY A CYCLONE “‘Several years ago he was hauling a long train of refrigerator cars loadâ€" ed with iruit from California and run- ning on express time. It was toward the close of a hot mid-summer’s day The track stretched for miles straight proceed slowly. On this night, how- ever, the long train rushed on the bridge with undiminished speed. For- tunately the draw had just been clos- ed and nothing happened. “The engineer's failure to stop at the bridge was the first intimation that the fireman had of anything be- ing wrong. He ran around to the engineer's side of the cab, shut oil the steam and applied the brakes. He found the engineer fallen forward and senseless with an ugly gash in the head. Beside him lay the stone which had inflicted the wound. It was after- wards established beyond question that in some inexplicable way this stone had been picked up by the en- gine itself, while moving at its great speed and hurled into the cab. If the draw had not been closed that night when the “flier” rushed afoss the bridge there would have been another accident which would have added to the story of railroading a mystery almost as deep as that connected with the navigation of the sea." Statistics also prove that ROYAL HOUSE- HOLD FLOUR will sustain life longer than animal food. It is extremely rich in high quality gluten which comes from the best Red Fyfe Wheat -â€"the finest in the world. This large percentage of high quality gluten is what makes ROYAL HOUSEHOLD FLOUR so much better thanoordinary flour. Red F yfe Wheat is known the world over for its richness in high quality gluten. is the most economical fOOd in the world. Especially is bread made from ROYAL HOUSEHOLD FLOUR good for growing children. They can’t eat too much of it. For their general healthy growth and development, it furnishes an almost complete food. As a matter of household economy, children ought to be given all the bread they can eat at all times. Whether figured by the pound or by actual units of health and strength, bread made from ERE is an interesting calcu- lation for young housewives or old ones for that matter. A pound of the best bread in the world made from ROYAL HOUSEHOLD 25 to 30 cents. Yeta pound of bread made from ROYAL HOUSE.- HOLD FLOUR contains _ 4 more working energy than a pound and a half of beef steak. Or three pounds of pork, or two pounds of veal. THE LINDSAY POST “When he recovered consciousness he was lying in a wheat field five hund- red feet from the track amid the de- bris of the woodwork of the engine. Much to his surprise he was still alâ€" ive. He struggled to his knees and saw his fireman crawling towards him when the storm l'ulled they made their way to the track and thence to the river. A mass of wreckage almost dammed the stream. In its indescrib- able confusion they recognized Uhat had been their train. The cyclone had torn the cab free and carried it and its occupants to safety. They were the only ones of the train crew who escaped." Each addition to one's kindred is a. relative gain. One way of getting along in this world is to walk. away oper a level plain. In the distance a storm seemed to have broken, and the engineer observed it seemed to be moving diagonally to- ward him. In afew minutes he dash- ed into a. torrent. of rain, and then, preceded by an onimous hush he heard the roar of the cyclone. A broad shallow river, spanned by a wooden bridge lay just ahead. Peering through the darkness the engineer 'fanâ€" cied that' he saw the funnel shaped cloud embrace and obliterate the bridge. The next thing that he knew was that he was sailing through the air, and his last thought was that he would land in the river and could not . v The one safe rule in buying flour is to get ROYAL HOUSEHOLD, and in that way you will make sure of getting the largest per- centage of nourishment and the cleanest, purest and most uniform flour.
