A RACE AFTER THE BABY.
How the Mother Was Transferred freq
the Engine to the Train.

AASF N"S 'A A~--
the Engine to the Train
Twenty years have passed since a GER
tain Bath sea captain, entering the port
of New York, telegraphed his wife at
Bath to join him at the metropolis, pre-
pared for n sea voyage. Accordingly, n
day or two after the arrival of the mes
a saw the wife embarked upon the
through train from Bath to Boston, ac-
companied by IN infant child scarcely 2
years old
This car was shunted on to the end of
h Portland train at Brunswick, and
leaving the child asleep, the captains
wife seized the opportunity to fill the
baby's bottle with milk in the depot res
taurant. While the mother was intent
upon he- errand the train slipped quietly
out of the station, and when the mother
emerged from the restaurant door it was
fast disappearing under Spring street
bridge. Eagerly she explained the stu
alton to the sympathizing group of rail
road men who gathered around. Baby
and purse, containing all her money and
ticket, were in the fast disappearing
train. A hurried council followed, and
a plan was instantly formed.
Old No. %, 1.-The Brunswick" was
s~idetracked, waiting the passage of the
train just gone. Uncle Thompson, the
station baggage master at that time, ran
hastily to this engine and asked her aid
TO overtake the flying train. The genial
Charles, ever ready to aid the caus of
any female in distress, volunteered to
catch the robbcr. Hastily filling the fire
box with wood from the tender while
Thompson was assisting the woman to
o the engine, with n command to
h switchman to "give us the main
line" with hand upon the throttle, No.
% flew quickly over the switches and
commenced her run.
An empty engine chasing a heavy
train up "Oak Hill grade" which ex-
tends four miles straight way from
Brunswick, has an easy task, and before
they had covered more than half of that
distance they could see the object of
their pursuit.
To sound his whistle, calling the atten-
ton of the train men to the chase and
thereby stop the train. was not part of
the programme, fearing that he might
run over them should they suddenly stop.
So quietly running along. the roar of the
train deadening the pursuit. he is soon
Immediately behind them. Then his
tcnder-for they are running backward
-rubs against the rear platform of the
train, and while the engineer holds her
there Thompson assists the woman over
the tender, down upon the platform of
the car containing the baby, still fast
asleep, the mother clasping tightly the
bottle of milky averly Magazine.

ANOTHER BABY"

When the Wild winter winds did blow,

Another little waIf to tend,
Another little helpless stranger.
To lead. TO feed. to fold, 10 fcnd
From every wrong and danger,
To make one anxious. make one sad,
And fearful for each morrow maybe.
With heart halt so~rrOwfuL, half glad,

The little children God had sent us,
How full they made our horne OF cheer,
And how their presence did content US
