But the Engine Scattered the Outfit All
Over the Township.
About mile from Calera. Ala, we came
to place where the railroad track crossed
public highway. and stuck on the track
was a mule hitched to a rickety old wagon
loaded with wood. The front wheels had
stopped at the rail, and the mule was fair
across the metals. He stood there with his
head down and his ears lazily working. and
| lying on the grass near by was an old negro
smoking pipe.
whats the matter?" 1 asked, as we
| drew up.
Dat newt has dun gigged back he
reolied.
'Da you mean he won't pull his load over
the track?"
"'zactly, sah-'zaetiy He kin do it if he
wants ter. but he jest wont. He's de obstl-
natest critler in dis hull staff"
One of our party got down and took the
animal by the bit and tried to Start him up,
| but he hung back until he almost sat down.

But if you don't get him off he'll be

Cant help it, sab. He's dun bin wantin'
| to see dat train for long time, an now Pze

We were going to seize the wagon and
! boost the whole outfit over, but the Colonel
| SAID if the niger" didn't care it was no
| funeral OF ours. We heard a train coming
and got back OUT Of the way, and the negro
waved his hand and shouted TO the mule
Peel dat eye of yours now an see dem
kiyered kyars. You've dun bin crazy to git
nigh dat bullgine an see if it was alive an
you'll soon know all about it,
1t was a heavy freight train coming on n
down-grade. The engineer footed as he
rounded the curve, but the mule never raised
his head. Instead of trying to stop more
steam was Put on. and the next moment that
mule went twenty feet high, while it rained
wagnn-wheels and pine-knots all over the
township As the train passed on VIC found
the mule in the bushes thirty feet from the
truck. He was all there, but dead 4
dGor-nail. The negro came slowly up. took
long look, and then shook his fist at the
dead animal anu said
Il dun tule yo' dat bullgiIe was alive, but

An odish man sat on tie steps of tene-
ment house in Catharine street, trying hard
10 get some solaee out OF a short temmed
pipe, which had more ashes than tobacco in
it, and l took seat beside him to ask a
question or two. We were talking away

and turned to look up.
That's nothing" said he, as he pulled
vigorously at his pipe; nothing bnt Mrs.
O'Reardon Come down from the next floor

We went on with our conversation. but in

"Y GU needn't be at all uneasy about that
That's my wife gone up TO the next floor 10

We resumed the broken conversation
and 1t ran along for four or five minutes
when 1t was interrupted by a combination
of screams and shouts FROM the second story.
l jumped up. but he put out his hand and
said
TITS what l was looking for. Mrs.
OReardon has got the woman from the
back roc m to help her, and they have come

followed by shTiekS and shouts.
Don't be running away on account of

and flrted the broken glass off the brim.
You see. my wife has got the two women
ON one floor to help her. and they have gone
up to larrup Mrs. 0'Reardon till she wont
