Engineer Senh,ps. pr.septiment.

Charley Jenkins was an engineer on
the Baltimore and Ohio for many years,
and he had many hairbreadth escapes
His run was between Garrett, Ind, and
Chicago Junction. O.. and nearly every
body along the route came to know him
personally. His friends could tell his
engine every time by the peculiar ''toot. I"
and whenever the engine was in sight
there would be wave Of the hand as a
recognition Of friendship. Hts engine,
the 790. was the best on the division, and
Il o fast run was to be made Jenkins and
the 7D0 were sure to be on the call board
Cor Il.
One day the old engineer was taken
III, and for weeks he fingered on his bed,
when 1t seemed that only thread held
him on to life. He was sadly missed
along the route. and the peculiar "toot"
Of the whistle was heard no more, for,
although old 100 was kept running, there
were other hands at the throttle
The crisis of his Illness came. The
family surrounded the bed and watched
with breathless eagerness for any sign Of
q change.
The stiffness of the room was Cypress
i've. Nothing could be heard save the
regular. heavy breathing OF the sick en-
gipeer.
Suddenly he arose on his elbow. He
stared wildly around, and his eyes looked
like q madman's. Then he sat up In bed
clutched an imaginary sheet Of paper,
and gasped:
"Tifln; train Ave; engine SEVENTEEN
ty; prepare to meet thy God"
He sank back exhausted and fell into
quiet, easy sleep When he awoke he
was on a fair way to recovery, but by
that time the news had reached the place
that terrible accident had happened;
that No. had collided with freight;
that engine 720 was wreck, and that
the engineer and fireman were dead
Charley Jenkins insists that he had a
presentiment from heaven Cleveland

mains have been laid away by loving
hands, there to repose until time
shall be no more.
