Hell you this to explain my intimacy with many of the ofI1eials on the .roud, especially with an (ngiueer named Blukcly. "This man attraettrd me first by his abil- ity to give me the information I wanted in a. few direct. nharp words. Like most reti. cent men, he knew the weight and value of words. I so Ott became peritotuv1ly much intererested in him, He was about forty, his hair streaked with grey, with n crave. worn face, which hinted ata youth of hard- ships and much cttftering. However, Bhikcly hm] found his way to the upland! at last. Three years before he had mur- ried a bright, cheerful woman. They had one cltild--a boy. He had work and good wages, and wns, I found, high in the eonfi. dence cfhis company. On one cccasinn, hn ring a Sunday off. he took me up toJer. my b'ltorrt, where his wife and boy lived. He was an cxruT'iautlly silent man, but wi.cn with them was gamxious and light- hearted as tt boy. In his eyes Jane was the wisest and fairest of women. and the My tt wander ot intellect. One great snurcc of trouble to him was, as I found, that he was aide to see them but once in three weeks. It was necessary for the child's health to keep them in tho country limbo rcadynt eight. Jano and tho boy were to go aboard the train at Jersey I Show, a. quuer little hill village near which l,they lived. Blakoly ran the train from lWillinmsport' down to Harrisburg that (lily. His wife being in tho passenger car before he took charge of the engine, of l Course he would see and know nothing of I her until we landed at Harrisburg at sev- leu.

J we was in the habit of coming with Charley down to a certuin point ofthe road every Jay, that Biakely might see them as he dashed by. "And when I found out this habit. it oe-, cuncd to me that I could give 1slakely a; great pleasure. How often have I cursed: my meddling kindness since. January 25 was tho child‘s birthday. I proposed to Mrs. lilnkcly that she and Charley should board the train which her husband drove, unknnwn to him, and run up to Harrisburg where he him} the night off. There was to he a little supper at the Lochicl House. Chum-y was to uproar in it new shit, Me. Of course the whole affair was at my ex. Wulsu--'a more trifle, but nu affair of grain- deur and distinvtiuu which fairly took J ands breath. h'ue was a must innocent, happy creature ; one of those women who are wives and mothers in the cradle. Whrn Blah-13’ fouud hey she was It thin, pale little tniluress-u machine to grind out badly-made shoddy clothes. But three years of ntarrirageirtu1 petting of Charley had made her rosy and plump and prst. ty. “The little Highland suit was bought complete, to the tiny duh and feather, and very prctty tho little fellow looked in it. I wrote down to order n stunning supper, suggested, I suppose, by tho originator of all evil, seized me. No need quite to laugh. Satan, I believe, has as much to do with accidents and misery as with sin. 1Ylsy not? However my fancy, dia. l»olic cr not, was to go down on the engine with Illnlu-ly. I hunted up tho fireman, and talked to him for an hour. Then I went to the engineer. " 'Blakely,' I said, 'Jones (tho wants tomight Mi.' " 'olrl Oh, no doubt. He's taking to drink. He must have been drinking when he talked of that. It is impossible} "I explained to Blah-1y that Jones had 1 a. sick wife, or swcetltcart, or something, and fiually owned tlint I had an unconq- notable doaire to run down the romlun tho engine, and knowing that my only chance was to take the tirenuua'tt place, had bribed him to give it to mo. The fact was that in my idleness and tho overworked state of my brain I craved excitement as a con- tinued druukarll does liquor. "Blakely, I saw, was angry and ex. “ cecdingly annoyed. He refused. M, first, but finally gave way with n. grave civility which almost made me ashamed of my boyish whim. I promised to be the prince of firemen. " 'Then you'll have to be treated as one, l, Mr. S'autley,' said Blakely, curtly. 'I can't. talk to gentlemen aboard my express. It's diffemut from here, on the platform, you'll remember. I've got to order and you obey in there, and that's all there“: of it.' "'Oh, I umurstami,' I said, thinking that it required little moral effort to obey in the matter of shovelling coal. If I could have guessed what that shovelling coal wouldcost mel But all day I went about thinking of the fiery ride through the hills, mounted literally on the iron horse. "It was in tho middle of the afternoon when the train rushed into the station.

It was neither In express not an: mammo- dntion train, but one which stopped at the principal station! on the route-8elime grove, Sunbury, etc. " had an old patched suit on, tit, as I suppose, for the service of coal beaver; but Blakely, when I came up. eyed it and my hands sanlonically. He was in no better temper, evidently, with amateur firemen than he had been in the morning. “All aboard 1' he said, My. ‘You take your place there, Mr. ssntht You'll put in coaljmt as I call for it, if you please, and not trust to your own judge- meut.' - “His tone annoyed me. ‘It cannot re- quire much judgment to keep up a fire un- der a boiling pot, and not make it too hot. Any woman cm Jo that in her own kitch- en.' "m made no reply but took lais place in the little square box when: the greater part of his life were spent. I noticed that his face was iUehed, and his irritation at my fuclish [whim WM surely more than the occasion required, I watched him with keen curiosity, wondering it it were possible that he could have Leon drinking, as he had licensed poor Jones of doing. "It strikes me as odd," interrupted Fer- rers. "that you should have not only made an intimate ccmpnnion of this fellow,Saut- Icy, but have taken so keen an interest in his temper and drinking-bouts. You would not bn likely to honor any of us with such attention." "No. I have something else to do. I was absolutely idle then. Blakely and his family for the time made up my world. As for the fuieudship. this was an exeol" tional man, both as integrity and massive hard sense. The knowledge that comes from books counts me but for little, com- pared with the education given by experi. ence and contacts with facts forforty yearn. I was hone! ed by the friendship of this grimy engineer. But the question of his subricty that day was a serious one. A man in chm-go of a train with hundreds of souls aboard, I felt ought to be sober, pu" ticularly when I was shut up in the engine with him. “J ust as we started a slip of paper was handed to him, which he read and threw down. " 'Do you run this train by telegraph t' I asked. beginning to shovel vigorously. " Wes. No more eoal.' " qrrn't that unusual l' "Wes. There are two Special trains on the road this attcrnoon.' " ‘Is it difficult to run a train by tele- graph t' I said presently, simply to make conversation. Staring in silence M the narrow slit in the gloomy furnace or oat at the village street, through which we slow. 1y passed, was monotonous. - Joso, not Jiffieult. I simply have to obey the instructions which I receive at each sttttion.' " 'Happen to think! I've no business to think at all. When the trains run by tele- graph the engineers are so many machines In the hand of one controller, who directs them all from a central point. He has the whole road under his eye. If they don‘t obey to the least tattle their orders, it is Je. struction to the wluM.' "'But if you should happen to think the instructions not right " “You seem to think silent obedience He tirst and last merit in a railway man?' " 'Yes,' dryly. "I took the hint and was dumb. l "We were out of town now. Blakcly qniekened the speed of the engine. I did nut spunk to him. There was little for me to do, and I was occupied in looking on at the flying landscape. The fields were covered .with a deep fall of snow, and glanced whitcly by, with a strange. unreal shimmer. The Mr was keen and cutting. Still the ride was tame. 'I was disappoint- ed. The excitement would by no means equal a. dash on a spirited hem. I u. lie to think I had little to [my for my: I grimy hands and face when we slowed It the next station. One or two passengers Iii; aboard the train. There was the in. imitable old lady with bundles, alightmg, _ and the usual squabble about her trunk. I l was arming my neck to her, when the boy ran alongside with the telegram. “The gen moment I heard a. smothered exclamation from Blakely. "'Go back.'aaid ho to the boy, ‘Tell Sands to have the massage repented. TU re'a a. mistake.’ “The boy (lubed off, and Blakely sat waiting, cooly polishing . bit of the shining brass before him. Back came the boy. " 'Had it repeated. Sands is raging you. Says there's no mistake, Ind beat get on,' thmstmg the mend up. - _ _ - _ h .. through the low-lying fum- u I speed which named (Inga-mu to me. " "Put in man ooal,' aid thly. “I shovelled it in. “We am going very fast. Blakoly.’ I ventured. “He did not mum. mu oyu were fired on the stem gauge; his lips closely shut.

" 'Coal.' “I was was alarmed u the stern. cold rigidity of the man. His pillar was u. coming frightful. I " threw in the couL "At least we must stop in Sunbury. m 1nd told me that was the next halt. “The little town approached. A: tho first house came into view, the engine lent out its Ihriek of warning; it grow louder, louder. We dashed into the street, up to the station. where a group of passengers waited, and passed it without the halt ofan instant. I caught a. glimpse of the ap- palled faces at the waiting crowd. Than we were in the field, again. “The speed now became literally breith. less; the furnace glared rod-hot. The heat, tho velocity, the terrible nervom strain on the mu beside me, mined to weigh the sir. I found myself drawing long stentorious breaths, like one drown. ing. I heaped in the coal at intervals. " he bade me." 'Wd have done nothing of the kind," in. terrupted one of the listeners. “The Inn was mad." "I did it because I was oppressed by an odd sense of duty, which I never had in my ordinary brain work. I had taken this mechanical task on myself. and I felt n. stricture upon me to go through with it; at any cost. I know now how it is that dull, ignorant men, without a speck of en- thusiasm, show such heroism 'sometimes, as soldiers, engineers. Captains of wrecked vessels. It is a finer thing than sheer bravery, to my notion. However, “pagan to he of your mind, Wright, that Blakely was mad, laboring undcr some sudden frenzy from drink, though I had never seen him touch liqrof. "He did not move hand not foot, except in the mechanical control of the engine. his eye going from the gauge to'; the time- i piece with a steadiness that was more tu- rible and threatening than any gleam of insanity would have been. Once he ghuse. ed back It the long tmin sweeping utter the engine, with n headlong speed that rock ed it from side to side. Tote would catch glimpses of hundreds of men and 'women talking. reading, smoking, unenli- ‘ scious that their lives were all in the hold of one man, whnm I now .sti-nligly suspect.- ed of being nmd. I knew by his look that he remembered their lives were in his hand. Ho glanced at the clock. " 'Twenty suiles,' he muttered. ‘Throw on the coal. Jones. The tire is going out.' "I did it. Yes, I did it. There was something in the thee of that man I could not resist. Then I climbed forward and shook him by the shoulder. " 'Bltae1yi' I shouted, you are running this: train into the ans of death.' " ‘I know it,' quietly. " 'Your wife and child are on it.' then he did not move his eye trom the gauge.
