THE LITTLE CHILD ON THE TRACK. AS
the freight train on the East Side road was
coming into Stephens Addition on Monday
night the engineer and fireman saw, to
their horror, little child not over three
years old, balancing her tiny self upon one
of the rails ahead and clipping her hands
in greatest gIee as the iron monster thun-
dered along toward her. The engineer shut
off steam and reversed the lever while the
fireman sprang 10 the top of the train ard
set two or three brakes quicker and tighter
than they had ever been SGT before. TO
blow The whistle would be nothing but
murder, thought the engineer, for it would
surely Brighten the child and cause her to
fall in front of the train. So he called out,
and probably the tones Of his voice had
never before been so tenderly modulated.
But calling and motioning were of as little
avail as the endeavors to stop the heavy
train so suddenly. The little girl. know.
ing nc fear, was waving her sunbonnet and
her laugh could be heard in the cab Of the
engine. The strong man closed his eyes
and a feeling of sickness came over him.
But it was not destined tina. that little life
should thus he crushed out. Something

and fall backward away from the track, her
