il seemed to be riding first on one side,
then on the other.
When the halfway point was reached,
their speed can only be described as
something terrific. Turner still stood
with his hand on the throttle, ready
for any emergency; the fireman stood
in the gangway, directly behind him,
one arm resting on the rear end of the
cab and holding on to the handle of the
tank valve with the other, while Willie
still sat on his seat, holding firmly to
the side of the cab as he leaned from the
window.
just as they were rounding the last
curve, before entering on the straight
stretch that led to the bottom, there
was a sudden jar; the engine appeared
for an instant to be lifted in the air,
there was a grinding roar, another
lurch, as though the engine were top
ping over, then a mighty crash, as
something broke into the cab from the
bottom, on the right side, succession
of blows, as from an immense sledge,
seemed to be pounding the cab to pieces,
side, shapeless mass of wood and
iron.
Willie had turned at the first lurch.
and realized in moment what had
occurred. The rear end of the right side
rod had broken loose from the crankpin.
and every revolution of the wheels had
allowed it to swing up against the foot
board on which the cab rested. until it
had broken it to pieces, and allowed the
cab to fall on one side, burying his ia
Their and the fireman beneath it, and
was now holding him a prisoner be-
tween the side of the cab and the boiler.
AS the pounding had now ceased, he
rightly judged that the rod had torn
loose on the other end. and the mo-
mentum had thrown it free of the en-
CINE.
Turning as best he could in his
cramped position, Willie saw something
else which gave his heart sudden leap,
for he realized that, dangerous as was
his position before, it was now doubly
so, for what he saw was a man coming
toward him, waving a red flag.
Some freight train had broken in
two, or was in trouble of some sort, just
ahead of them, and unless they were
stopped, they would run into them, and
the result would be terrible collision,
and perhaps death to everyone on
board.

Blanco Hears Of Peace and
Changes HIS WaxAke
Tone 10 One Of
MeeknesS.

NEW YORK, Aug. 9-According to ad-
junta, Captain General Blanco appreciates
the fact that he must sncsi withdraw him
self and his forces from the island Of Cuba.
He assumed a mildness Of demeanor which
compares strangely with his previous bonn
bastic attitude and frequently expressed
determination to holo out in Havana to
the death and he is treating the insurgents
with great consideration. IL 8 recent proc
lamation he made known to the Spanish
people of Cuba that Spain, through the in
tervention of foreign powers, had been
forced to the disgraceful issue of suing for
peace and that there would be no more
war and no further use for soldiers. He
offered q pardon to all Cuban political pris-
oners and more than lou We're released in
Havana.
In explaining spains defeat in his procla-
nation, Captain General Blanco informs his
readers that Spain, having suffered SO much
in the present war, could not resist the in
reference of the foreign powers and go to
war with all countries at once SO she was
compelled to accede to their dictation and
sue for peace. Havana, he says, will be
given over to Americans and Cubans and
the Spaniards will be forced to evacuate
Captain General Blanco assures the SOL
diers and all Spanish residents who wish
to return to Spain or go to other Spanish
possessions that they will get free trans
portation, given by their mother country, to
their destination, and will be protected
from Interference from either Cubans or
Americans He suggests that the Cubans
be forgiven and no longer regarded as enc
mics and that no unkind feelings be cher
iShed.

Good Advice,

Every locality has its special features
but this position applies to them all.
The party Is today like an army wander
ing through the wilds without leader.
There are captains and lieutenants anG
as true a rank and file as ever marched
but with the generals and colonels all or
the left dickering with one wing Of the
enemy, the army is certainly demoralized
They are as anxious to fight the foe as
ever, but have no definite idea where to
strike.
Our first duty is to dispose OF leaders
who have led the party to the brink OF
disruption.
Then the way is clear to fight the battle
for which We enlisted years ago.
With treacherous leaders we can never
win.
The only plan is to line up for straight
party organization and sink your daggers
into false-hearted leaders first
Every fusionist should be defeated al
every point.
Fight them in the caucus and the con
vention, and if you have to go farther
fight them at the polls. Do this regardless
of present superficial results for the ulti.
mate end Is the point to keep in view.
We must dethrone the party boss; ant
the place to begin is right at home in oul
own party.-Chicago Express.
