models OF the elonsated G. ar shaped bal

steadily at his own small models, but al

Just as spring was approaching the car
riage factory company closed its doors
and went into bankruptcy. Mr.. Seward
looked for other employment, but could

One day he saw an advertisement in
The Post for men to 60 to South America.
Good mechanics were wanted-Workeis of
all kinds in wood and iron. 1t was from
the agents of one of the great railroad
builders engaged in the construction OF
parts of the International railway be-
tween North and South America. The
wages offered were high, and Mr.. Seward
applied and was accepted.

contractor, had his headquarters.

to render the construction of a railroad
inapracticable, and the way often Law on
the edge of prec1pices.
The engineer in charge had planned a
cantiieTer span for thePareira chasm; but
Tor some reason the Indian icons en-
ployed refused 90 cross the gorge. They
would not reveal the secret way and the
engineer could not discover it. Work
was at stand still. The engineer might
storm and rage but the poems refused to
stir.
Toms interest was aroused. He saw
the difficulty lay in getting the heavy
materials over to the other side Of the
terrific chasm.
It seemed that the only way to do il
would be to make a detour through
rough mountain pass twenty miles away.
Even then the pathway was practically
only for travel on foot. 1t would be te-
dious and very expensive route, too. The
American bridge builders 1elt practically
helpless.
The rude workshops were situated
about two thosand yards away from the
chasnl and while Tom was idle, he worked
avay on a machine OF his own.
Meanwhile the poems sat sulIenly in
their tents. No one could tell the real
cause OF their refusal to work. Mr.. Nor
ton had been sent for, and was expected
TO arrive every day from JANA, though it
was not sure how he could settle the
trouble, since the poems were as deaf to
appeals as their own granite hills,

lay above the gentle breakers. Toward
this Frank made his way, and while yet
quite distance from it his feet touched
the shallow bottom OF the lagoon.
Once upon the sand bank an irresistible

After three such charges the British in

from the craftsmanship of the veteran

Every person who takes an interest in

his generation. MIR. Doble COM
menced driving trotters when q
mere lad, and in 1866 he drove Dexter

record breaker in Goldsmith Maid, 2:17,
and in his hands that mare successfully
assailed the record until in 1874 she
placed the trotting record at 2:14. Last
