switch, the train departs from the main track
| on to the siding. Ia n second he takes in the
| sttuaton-the switch is misplaced. The train
| Is on short siding. There is death at the
end. The engineer sees the peril. Like n
flash the end comes before him Already he
hears the crash, his ears ring With the
| shrieks OF the dead and dying, he
sees the ground piled with debris
The certainty Of his own death rises before
him. The fireman jumps and falls with ter
rite force to the ground, but is saved Will
the engineer follow him. Already the en-
gine is reversed, every brake on, and all

last minute, and rushing on to almost certain
death, he stands firm at the throttle. A
| crash, shock The train is saved. The
| engineer lies with his broken engine, crushed
and bleeding, but crowned with the
glory OF splendid heroism. The
gazcttes OF the worlds grand armies may he
searched from beginning to end without find
ing grander piece OF heroism than tha, of
Bob Haylor, the l., b. h W. engineer.

IN gallon Jug OF old rye or pony keg OF
beer, thus making the redoubtabe doctor
break the pledge in spite OF himself.
