chance for failure II she tried TO start
the heavy train, Phoebe darted back
and pulled the coupling-pin between
the tender and the first car, running
forward again to climb into the engine
just as the first stragglers of the
crowd began to come up. They gave
her but a moment, but that was
enough. Engine 800 had an easy
throttle, and Phoebe had opened il
more than once. The vanguard of the
tramp army saw flutter of skirts on
the footboard, heard kissing of steam
in the cylinders and two or three sharp
coughs from the exhaust, and then
the big mogul dropped from the end of
the open switch and plowed into the
ties, blocking the track as effectually
as fifty tons of iron and steel Could do
it.
Phoebe did not wait to see what
would happen afterward. She had
done her part; there would be no col
lision; and they could not blame her
father for something that he had no
hand in. She was safe in Mrs. Han
nah's kitchen by the time the special
whistled for the station; and when the
train ratified up and the sounds of the
fray floated across the tracks to her
refuge, she hid her face in Mrs. Han
nah's apron and cried as any other girl
might whose father and uncle were in
the thick of battle.

Norman ran in.
"Where is she? Where's the little
girl that's got more sense and sand

Phoebe looked up quickly. "Oh,
Uncle Tom, where's pa? Is he hurt?'
mo, he's all right; only they're
about to smother him with praise. Mr..
Johnson's over at the station, and he
wants to see you"
Five minutes later a shy little girl
with a tear-stained face was led into
the presence of the superintendent,
who sat at the telegraph-desk sending
messages right and left. He rose and
took Phebe's hands in his in a way
that made the little group of trainmen
forget for the moment that he was the
stern ''old man" of the division.
And this is the little girl who
bitches our engines, is it?" he said.
What put such a thing into your
head my child?"
''Oh, it didn't have to be put in; I
knew there would be head-ender if
didn't do something quick, and
couldn't think of anything else"
Mr.. Johnson smiled at the ready re-
lapse into railway phrase, and said: 1T

was bright thought; it has saved us
good many dollars, and probably
some lives, too. Now, if the company
were good fairy, like those in the
story-books, what would you ask for
reward?"
Phoebe had a sudden inspiration.
sob, Mr.. johnson, there's one thing
that would make me happier than any
thing else; if pa could only have good
run, so we could live in a real town.
Mr.. Johnson looked around at the
circle of friendly faces. 81 think your
father has earned that for himself"
he said, quietly. us that the only
thing you want?"
"Oh, no, indeed" replied Phoebe,
candidly; ''but, you see, if we lived in
a town, perha ps l could get some of
the other things. We might happen to
get acquainted with somebody that
had piano, and then, maybe, 1 could
learn to play, and" Here Phoebe
suddenly realized that she was chat
enthusiastically chattering to the man
of whom everyone on the division stood
in awe, and she shut up like an oyster
that had been caught mapping with its
she'll open.
The superintendent laughed at her
confusion and sat down to finish his
telegra phing. when the general
manager hears that, I'm sure he'll be
sorry that the company doesn't run
piano-factory," he said; whereat the
men laughed, too.
Mr.. johnson had little private con-
versation with Artley and Norman
that night after Phoebe had gone back
to Mrs. Hannah, and several things
came of it. For one, the engineer got
his smart ''eight-wheeler" and pas
senger run with the promptness that
characterizes western railway promo
ton when the head of a department
makes up his mind and, at the same
time, Norman found his way smoothed
for a transfer In a mostAniraculous
manner. A third event growing out
of the same talk concerned Phoebe, but
she knew nothing about it until one
day, af ter they were settled in a COM

van drove up to the door with piano.

KNOWLEDGE

Brings comfort and improvement and
tends to personal enjoyment when
rightly used. The many, who live bet
ter than others and enjoy life more, with
less expenditure, by more promptly
adapting the worlds best products to
the needs of physical being, will attest
the value to health of the pure liquid
laxative principles embraced in the
remedy, Syrup of Figs.
Its excellence is due to its presenting
in the form most acceptable and pleas
ant to the taste, the refreshing and truly
beneficial properties of perfect lax
alive; effectually cleansing the system,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
and permanently curing constipation.
1t has given satisfaction to millions and
met with the approval of the medical
profession, because it acts on the Kid
neys, Liver and Bowels without weak
ening them and it is perfectly free from
every Objectionable substance.
Syrup of Figs is for sale by all drug
gists in SOC and 81 bottles, but it is man
ufactured by the California Fig Syrup

Resignation.

I feel thy Christening rod, o Godi nor dare
To murmur aught against Thy just decree;
bruised reed, 1 yet can come to Thee.
And know that Thou wilt hearken to my
prayer.
The day is well-nigh spent, the night is near
But as the shadows gather over me,
Through their dark gloom my weary eyes can
see
The dawning of day more bright and fair.
Oh, give me strength to follow that clear light,
Which, like the flaming pillar in the sky,
From Egypt led the wayworn Israellte,
And brought him forth from death to
liberty!
Shine on my path, that may see the way
That leads from darkness to eternal day.

PHGBE'S EXPLOIT.
BY FRANCIS LYNDE.

!. / ]. !. !: I" !. !.
& HE was the daughter
q w. of John Artley,
w 70 whose run on the
~O1VAS Western division be,
VAN gan and ended al
H&W N WA y Orival Junction. The
~V &M junction sisted
Wm n oSWX of round-house, the
VIZ N railway station, a
~&#{&&Sw few h n les, a
4 dreary boa r ding
u house and a choice
collection of future possibilities; but
Phoebe, being motherless, spent much
of her time on her fathers engine, or
in her uncle's office at the station, and
SO got larger view of life than the
junction itself could give.
At fourteen she had two ambitions.
One was for her father, reaching out
to the time when he should have a
smart "eight-wheeler" and a passenger
run. The other dated from trip to
Cheyenne with her father when he
was member of the grievance COM
mittee.
You'll have to put in your time
around the hotel while l go to the
meeting" he had told her; and Phoebe
betook herself to the parlor, where a
smartly-dressed young woman was
playing upon an ancient and some
what ''tin-panny" piano. The music
was of the kind called popular" aud
the performer played as the Irishman
blew the correctly main strength and
awkwardness-bu Phoebe went back
to Ol'ival Junction that night with a
conviction that life was scarcely worth
living without a piano and the ability
to play it.
She said something of the kind to her
uncle the next day when she was
laughed at her.
II thought you were beyond such
things" he said "A girl who can run
locomotive, figure bills of lading
and telegraph the arm off half the
operators on the line to be wanting
such fine lady's plaything as a
piano"
''Oh, but, Uncle Tom, you just ought
to have heard her! She played and
played till l forgot who l was and
where 1 came from. You can't think
how beautiful it was!''
Eyes, ! can. was night operator at
Cheyenne once, and l actually lived in
the house with that piano for six
months. And 1 hope everybody who
kept me awake with it when l was
trying to catch up on my sleep will be
forgiven" he added, taking the
Freight Forwarded book from the
safe.
Don't you like music, Uncle Tom?"
she asked, getting the bunch of alb
stracts to call off to him.
''Oh, music, yes-but that's different.
We used to have music back at the old
home in Ohio; your Aunt Phoebe
played the organ in church, and we
sang in the choir, first and last"
Ibid ma play?"
YES"
''Well, mean to learn, and mean
to have piano, too, sometime. wish
pa could get a run so we could live in
town; then might hear music once
in awhile anyway"
But what would become of me? I
couldn't get along without YOU"
You'd come, too. AS if l didn't
know that you keep this job just SOS
to be with us!''
That was the fact. Tom Norman
had transferred his love for his favor
lite sister to her child, and he had fol-
lowed John Artleys shifting fortunes
from one desolate division station to
another, for the sole purpose of watch
ing over and caring for Phoebe.
"Do you believe pa ever will get a
good run?" asked Phoebe, when the
