n Moment of Awful Suspense.

From the Detroit Free Press
The nervous strain on an engineer of
a fast train is something enormous" said
one Of them the other day. Not only the
lives of the passengers are at stake but
there is the constant fear of running over
some one on the track. An accident no
matter how innocent the engineer, is al
ways kind Of hoodoo."
What was my worst accident? ] shall
never forget it II it had been traced on my
MIND by streak of lightning it couldn't
have made more lasting impression. 1t
happened one bright moonlight night in
November We Were spinning over the
rails at fun speed across country where
there were few people passing a that time
OF night, when 5 looked out and saw the
figure of man lying across the track
not ten feet in front of the engine 1
stopped as quick as possible. but too late
OF course We had run over him. and the
Hfeless body was under the wheels
We got out to look for him. and found
his hat. piece of his coat sleeve and one
OF his shoes, but the rest seemed to be fur
ther back under the train. / backed up
the engine and got out to look again
There lay the body. / nearly tainted when
i saw its distorted form. / felt like a muir
derer.
Did know the man? No. not personal
~ He was a scarecrow from a neighbour
ing corn field
