FREAKS OF A LOCOMOTIVE.

Runs Away at Will and Excltes the Curl
osity of Isailro d Men.
No. ''417'' of the Louisville & Nash
vile system is dangerous engine. She
is the smallest owned by the Louisville
Il Nashville road, and was built by the
Kansas Central.
A few weeks ago, while she was in
the round house, relates the Cincinnati
Post, Engineer Gilmore and his fireman
went into the Office, and while they
were away old "417" suddenly struck
cut and butted the big iron doors of the
round house down before she could be
stopped. The throttle was unmoved,
and the strange actions of "417'' could
not be understood.
An examination by an expert me-
ehanic revealed nothing, however.
''That engine needs watching" Yard
master Maher informed his men.
Engineer Gilmore was called to the
main office in Cincinnati and asked to
explain the actions of ''417'' while in
his charge. He could not explain, but
the boss of this division said that it was
impossible for locomotive to run of
Of it's own accord, and laid off Gilmore.
But on Saturday old ''417' vindicated
Gilmore.
Just at $40 a. m. she broke out the
main track at breakneck speed.
She was left standing on the coal
track about 4:3o by her crew. The
throttle was closed and water in the
boiler turned off.
But the tricky mule of the Coving-
ton yards broke the switch and rushed
pell-mell out on the main track. Old
'S417' was on rampage, but it being
dark nobody saw her. Upon reaching
the Milldale intersection of the K G..
and l.. N. roads she rushed through the
swinging gate and reduced it to splin-
ters- Two miles further out stray
horse was run over. But in the mean
time five closed switches were broken
open.
Seven miles out 's417'' stopped. The
fire had gone out and the boiler was
empty when Yardmaster Maher reached
it on special engine at half-past nine
o'clock. Luckily the overdue freights
were delayed by an accident at Menzies'
Station, in Pendleton county.
Had it not been for that another ac-
cident could not have been averted, for
"417'' stood on the main track just
around a deep curve for about two
hours. Yardmaster Maher was joyous
when the lost engine was sighted.
Old railroad men cannot account for
her strange actions, and few, if any,
ever heard of similar case to the one
above described. 1t seems preposter-
GUS that locomotive standing on a
side track alone should half an hour
later strike out of it's own accord and
run seven miles unnoticed by any body.

A Wisconsin man had pony which
he decided to kill for the purpose of

rolling fat and in excellent condition.
After it was killed some of the meat
was cut off and cooked. a mum Der hav-

those who ate the meat pronounced it
good, rather coarse. Some were not in

til after they had expressed an opinion
as to it's flavor and tenderness. Inva-

tribute to it's juiciness Among those
who were called upon to express an
opinion was a city butcher, who was
asked to speak as an expert. The dish
was set before him and he ate heartily.
He said that he could tell any kind of
meat that was brought to him; that there
was an unmistakable flavor in meat
which a man who had been in the butch

detect He praised the meat before him
as to flavor, but said it was a trifie

from the best part of the beast. 'sThen

been under her care, and the two had
travelled together, sometimes accom-
panied by Seaward. But after Mrs.
Aylstone's death Adeline had gone to
lire with her grandmother, Mrs.
VilliHrs, in Curzon street, Mayfair, an
arrangement which the young lady had
at first disliled very much. Granny
was whimsical, and Adeline was self
willed, and their tempers clashed pret-

them mutual forbearance. Moreover,

what to leave unsaid. She guessed
that the cousins wanted TO have n conf

Olive was waiting, almost impatient
ly, for next Sunday. The little gray
chapel, standing in it's quiet garden,
was spiritual resting place, and the
words that she had heard there we're
living in her mind
With a reserve that is often born Of
deep feeling, she kept the secret of her
newly foundcomfort. Not even to Sam
uel Wake did she speak Of 1t. But Sam
uel had eyes.to see and ears to hear;
and he saw that the look Of weary
patience was passing from her face. and
heard hopeful ring in her voice again.
Yet she had not ceased TO suffer. The
young life, SO soon made desolate, was
still sad with the memories Of promises
unfulflled. She was too inexperienced
to look forward TO new hopes and q
new love. For her, she thought, there
was only the lonely path homeward,
planted thickly with tender recollee-

learned to accepther fate without bitter
ness. 1t was no small thing to have
been lifted above her sorrow, and set
upon the hill top, although she stood
there alone.
