when he was little able to bear new
burdens, he was transferred from his
old run on the accommodation to an
express train. Most men would have
taken this for an honor, but to old
Jasper II was an affront which he
could not forgive. Nor could he help
1t, either, and 30 he took the new run,
which ambitious Jack was glad to get,
and between them they made very
good time night after night.
A couple Of weeks before the we'd

their way west on regular trip, when
they were again stopped at the side
track near Mary's home, to pass be-
lated freight train. Jack looked In
vain for light In the Clifford House.
for 1t was near midnight. Just before
the freight came laundering along,
and while Jack was busy shoveling
coal, old Jasper was startled by catch
ing a glimpse Of something which
looked to him like human form steal
ing through the darkness toward his
engine, but he instantly attributed the
delusion TO the bothersome electric
headlight, turned his eyes away. and
soon afterward opened the throttle and

daughter of A. w. Hodge Of the Ph9-

Introduction TO each other Of the young

when Miss Hodge was attending a re-
ception given by friend in Cambridge.
IL proved case of "love at first sight,"
and before the evening wore away they
were betrothed. So ardent was Mr..
Henderson's wooing that he accompa-
MED his afiianced to her home In North
Adams the next day to gain the con-
sent Of her parents. This accomplished,
he telegraphed his father for his sane
ton and received answer: "Get mar
ried when you please" The telegram
was followed few days later by some
thing more substantial in the shape OF
a check for $4,000.
Mr.. Henderson Is said 10 be Of a
wealthy and reputable family. Miss
Hodge is an accomplished young lady
and has travelled extensively. Though
but little over 81 years OF age she
has "done" the United States, Europe

STRIPPING lip. His career had been
one of such evenness and calm, so
much quiet life within himself. such
absence of incident or accident, that
his steady temper had been rarely
stirred by JOY or sorrow. His first
grief had come to him ten years or
more before, when his wife died sud
denly while he was away on his en-
CINE. He had never married again,
nor seemed 10 care much for society
OF company or anybody or anything
saving only HIS son Jack, and, of
course, his engine. for which he had a
half dozen pet names. Jack wanted
