agined they saw something on the track
right ahead. Thinking the train was
about to be wrecked they both jumped.
The engineer was rather badly hurt, but
when the fireman picked himself up out
of the dust he found that the engine had
made kindling wood of wagon to
which two horses had been attached.
Their driver had seen the headlight Of
the engine and had Jumped IL time to
save himself, and the animals them
selves were cropping the dried grass
along the roadside. which showed that
they had not been greatly disturbed by
the accident
But the train, with nobody at the en-
gine's throttle. was plunging away
through the darkness. the passengers

scious that they were being drawn by e
wild locomotive
The fireman, who had been left be-
hind, thought he would try to overtaks
the flying train ON foot. Then he changed
his mind and, jumping astride one Of
the horses, he set out after the runaway
train. He knew it must stop shortly, as
1t had to climb very steep grade, and
if the fire under the boilers was not kept
up the supply of steam would not fur
nish sufficient pressure to keep the
wheels going around The vagrant train
did stop mile and half from where
the accident occurred. There did not
seem to be any reason for an Interrupt
tion Of the journey just at that point.
and 40 the conductor and brakeman hur-
ried ahead with their lanterns to ask the
engineer what had given out.
When they found the cab empty, of
course the trainhands were very much
mystified. They asked each other a good
many questions, and were engaged in
looking up theories TO account for the
strange disappearance OF the engine
crew when the fireman came Looping
along on the horse he had borrowed.
After explanation had been made, he
turned his horse toward this city and
brought the first tidings the railroad
people had of the missing train. A hack
was sent out to the scene with another
engineer, and as soon as steam was
raised the overland went on over the
hill through Cajon pass The same car
riage brought the injured engineer to

fame. To these men fell the prizes OF
the profession such as they were at that

The smaller men--not very numer-
Gus, it is true, and yet some of them
most deserving-had a tolerably hard
struggle for existence and had to exc
out their income by other work than
that of regular picture painting. Mae
culloch and Macnee themselves made
money in their younger days by decorat-
ing the lids of snuffboxes. The average
painter was frequently pretty much of
