don calls them.

THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.
HI. swcctheart's Red Hair Acted MS a
SiRnal in Time of Danger.

HIS Swcetheart's Red Hair Acted as a
Signal in Time of Danger.
A locomotive engineer should be one
of the most truthful of men. That's
why this little story of southern en-
gineer should be believed implicitly.
"You may talk as you please about
red-headed women" he was saying to
group of listeners, "but red-headed
woman saved my life and established a
home for herself all at once. ] was 25
then and running freight on the
Chesapeake & Ohio in the West Virginia
mountains, where it took talent to run
an engine. My division ended at Hin.
ton and red-headed girl lived six
miles to the east, where there was
siding near big cut and fill, and twas
q bad place, as the road was new.
1.-THE girls name was Maggie Conroy
and she had the reddest head ever saw
on human beings shoulders outside
of a torchlight procession. But didn't
care for that and I did care for Maggie.
One sunshiny day was coming down
the track with a stock train loaded
with some extra fine cattle and sheep
and l had in the caboose three of the
owners. 1t had been raining aud wash
outs were looked for, but hadn't seen
any and was bowling along at good
speed when all of a sudden at the curve
thought ] saw red light rising just
over the track. 1t seemed to shine like
blaze in the track and before 1 took
time for thought 1 had shut off the
steam, whistled down the brakes and
was doing my best to stop.
Fright then my fireman gave me the
ha ha in q way to chill the blood in the
veins of man who can't stand teas
ing and took a look forward and found
that the red light thought saw was
only Maggie's head of red hair sticking
up in advance as she pulled herself up
the steep embankment to get on to the
track. With an oath I opened every
thing again, but as did SO Maggie
threw up her hands and dropped in a
dead faint. by the track and i stopped
of everything again, for I felt sure
that something was wrong. I had half
an hour or SO leeway between trains
and took Maggie np as quickly as
She came around mighty soon, because
she had tainted from overeNertion, and
she told me how a big bowlder had
fallen on the track in curve near her
house that I wouldn't have seen till it
was too late to stop and she had run
across the spur of the mountain to stop
me In time If she could.
"TAat's what she was trying to do
when her red head shone like danger
signal and stopped me, Later the own
ers of the stock gave her money enough
to buy nice little house at Hinton and
six months later moved in. We've got
the house yet, but we don't live in it, y
concluded the engineer, 'for it wasn't
big enough for a family of six children
and not red-headed one in the lot. -

review of his experiences while on u
whaling voyage early in life. The
speaker was firmly convinced that the
whale could swallow Jonah, and then
went on to illustrate how he could.
He said that he had seen thousands OF
whales and killed them by the hun
dreds. A whale is the biggest Of oil Of
Gods living creatures OH land or sea,
and the speaker said that he had on
many occasions crawled through the
throat of one which could easily get
away with a COW or horse, and, if this
was true, why couldn't whale swell
low man? He believed that when peo-
pie persistently deny the Bible story
regarding Jonah and the whale they
were either ignorant or inexperienced.
He said that the old truth had stood
before skeptics were born, and it would
continue to stand after they were dead.

long experience, close observation and
rare opportunities, such as have been
accorded to but few women. Moreover
look upon the outside life, impelled
by necessity, as in a majority Of cases
to be simply experimental. 1t cannot
be conclusive, for the vast majority Of
women prefer the quiet of domestic
life, while man, by nature, seeks the CON
