IT WAS NOT A COW.
II was n Woman Who Had QuarreIed
with Her Lever That Was
ON the Track.

"Pete" Duffy many years ago had
charge Of passenger engine ON the
Cincinnati Wabash & Michigan diyi-
sion of the Big -Four, and the great aim
of his life was 10 get his train into An
derson on time. One night Pete was
late. and was making up lost time.
There is steep grade al Summityille,
and trains generally shut of steam
while going down il, but on this occa.
sion he was In hurry, and put on a
little more steam. The night was dark.
aud the air so heavy with a drizzling
rain that an object could not be seen
more than 90 feet ahead. Something
suddenly darted across the track in
front of the engine, and was sent hurl-
ing through the air into the darkness.
Got another blamed cow" shouted
Pete TO his fireman across the cab.
Worse than that yelled the firA-
man. 81 saw something white"
Pete shut of steam, but could not
stop before the station was reached.
The train was backed to the spot where
the object was seen. and the trainmeu,
with lanterns, made n search. In a field
40 feet from the right of way they found
awoman. covered with blood and gronn-
ing with pain.
Pete had sweetheart in Anderson
those days (they were married after
ward), aud when he saw that battered
form lying in the mud tears came to his
eyes.
Poor little grill" he said, and, stoop-
ing down, he lifted her tenderly and
carried her gently to the car. where he
made her as comfortable as possible.
The company's surgeon found that the
woman was terribly hurt. and IL was
months before she recovered. Then the
story came out.
She had quarreled with her lover, and
iG moment Of desperation determined
TO XIII herself. When she heard the
train whistle she ran TO the track and
threw herself in front of the engine.
Hut the train was going so fast that In
stead Of going under the wheels she
fell on the pilot and was thrown out
Of the way. A year or so later she mar
ried the man of her choice, and is now
living happily. "Pete" is now on a
western road. but his experience that
dark night on the Summityllle hill he
has never forgotten. n.-Columbus (O0

that all respectable folks in New York
city liked bologna sausage, she gave the
assent that seemed to be expected of
hsr.
Well, In the course of an hour Mr..
Walter Andrews let himself in at the
street door, and the occupant of the
ground floor, happening just then to
open his door, said: .Oh. Andrews,
you'd better call on Clitheroe as you go
up. He's been yelling for you like a
maniac.
So Andrews kicked clitheroe's door
violently, and was answered by the
bearded man himself. And when An
Grews went into the studio-being
warned 10 make no noise-what should
he see but his little sister Addie asleep
in the models chair, with big blue
sunboDnet half tumbling off her head
BY that time Clitheroe had sketched in
the ehead-sunbonnet and all, while the
tired-out wearer slept.
Brother Wat pretended TO be angry
with Addie for taking upon herself such
an adventure. On the other side, the
bearded Clitheroe was there to take her
part.
1t looks very bad for You. Andrews,
to be afraid to have your sister drop
in on you without warning-very bad.
Now. wouldn't mind II my whole fam
lily should come In here any day"
"You haven't got any family" Wat
retorted. But the insinuation effectual-
ly quleted him.
As for the originally intended sun
bonnet model. it turned out that that
IDIOT Guthrie" had never given her
Clitheroe's message at all SO that, as
the bearded man observed. Providence
had sent Miss Andrews to sit for his

continued until the picture was de-
clared beyond all danger of failure.
