been taken sixteen feet long.

gan, while / was chasing a fortune in
the great southwest. Perhaps as odd a
one as any Of them was this one in
northern Texas. A few Of us were
building a narrow gauge railroad to
open up a new section and put some
land on the market. At the same time
& a broad gauge line was being construct
ed through that portion Of the state.
Along a stretch of about five miles we
happened to secure the same right of
way, keen old Yankee taking pay
from both of us. Neither road would
yield, it would take too long to fight
the matter out in the courts, and we
compr omised by laying the narrow
gauge between the rails of the broad
gauge, arranging time tables with
view of avoiding accidents. Things
went along without clash for about
six weeks, when L started over our road
as the guest Of the engineer. He was
showing me the PAGES of the locomotive
and while we were fairly flying over the
common right Of way we saw through
the dim light of early morning that an.
immense sleeper was coming toward us
at no less than a mile minute. It
had become detached from the train
ahead and was shooting down grade.
There was no time to reverse or at
tempt a retreat. The engineer set his
teeth, pulled her wide open and shot
through the sleeper as though it was
a fog bank. We cut out the broad aisle
as slick as a saw could have: done,
raked the ends of a few seats, caught
the porter up on the smokestack, and
| flew on, without checking speed. Not
a passenger was hurt, but the porter
sued for $4,000. Hurt? No, but he
lost the tips, don't you see? And tips
were tips in those days. 4
