Are the Engineers to Blame?

To the Editor of THE EVENING STAR:
Permit me to call your attention to an un-
mitigated nuisance and ask you if there Is
remedy. These sultry summer nights the resi-
dents on 1, Myrtle and X streets northeas. are
kept awake by the freight engineers ON the
Metropolitan Branch OF the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, who stop their engines at the switch
connecting with the main line and blow off
steam. Sometimes the hideous noise is kept up
indefinitely. and delicate women and children
are scared out of their wits. Sleep is lmpossi-
BILE even for men with nerves of steel. Z. u II.

ishment which she had neglected to give
him, and the doctors numerous orders which
she had forgotten. She rose languidly, and
went about her usual occupations. Pres
emily, when she had prepared some beef tea,
she brought a cup of it to George. she
noticed that he took 1t with reluctance, and
she waited submissively at his side, holding
the tray, and ready. if necessary to lift the
cup to his lips.
Eastwood took the spoon in his unsteady
hand and began to lift it 70 his lips. But
before it reached his mouth he was taken hy
a shuddering fit; the color once more fled
from his face, aud the spoon dropped from
his hand.
Take it away" he gasped. SIT smells
it tastes-of bloodm
And then he fell back fainting The
shock had been too much for him in his
weak state, and for some time a relapse
seemed imminent. And, as the doctor told
jess with very grave face, a relapse would
certainly prove fatal.
He wondered why his verdict did not
seemed to affect her. She looked at him
duly, as if she had not heard. But she had
heard, and she had understood. He would
have wondered still more if he had heard

stand" jess said at length, rather hur-
riedly. Then, looking round the surgery:
Nv nat queer place you have here, doc
tori"
at is rather odd, isn't ita Let me show
you some of my treasures. That's a queer
growth of bone; and that's a preserved
snake, in spirits. Here's strange relic; a
broken gold ring, which we found in the
pockets of that deformed lad, Dick Eyre,
after he was killed"
jess stood as if transfixed, her eyes fast
ened upon the ring. Twice she opened her
lips to speak, and twice she failed TO pro-
duce a sound. Then she said family:
MAY look at it closer
The doctor took it from beneath little
glass shade and gave it to her in silence. He
was watching her attentively.
"It's mine," she said at last, the color re-
cediug from her cheexs and lips Then she
pressed it passionately to her mouth and
burst into food Of tears.
The doctor stood and looked on.
81 may keep it, mayn'J /, doctorp she
said in a pleading tone. 81 knew Dick had
it, but | never knew what had become of
it. Indesd it's mine. l know it by the
letters inside. Look at them-you can see
'em quite plain. Indeed it belongs to me;
it was my wedding ring"
''If you'll tell ms hog you lost it and all
about it, will let you have it," said DR..
Price. "But can't part with it unless Pm
sure, you know. Come, tell me how il
came into Dick Eyre's possession"
II can't" said Jess. timidly, shrinking
back.
Then | can't let you have the ring"
He took it from her passive fingers and
placed it underneath the glass shade once
more. 1t was not that he did not really
believe her, but that ne wanted to get al
her story. He watched her as she drew
near the shelf on which the relic usually
stood; he marked her quickened breath
her yearning eyes, and his own pulses quick
eaed too. For he was on the verge of an
| undiscovered mystery-so he believed, aud
mystery was always interesting and de.
lightful to him.
But still Jess did not speak.
