Knocked from His Engine, He Plunged
Into the Big Muddy.
Railroad men on the Missouri Pacific
are talking yet about an accident which
befell George Norris, fireman who
works on the Kansas City and Omaha
line, during the winter. Norris was
working with Pat Kelly, and one night
they were bringing south the fast train
from Omaha which reaches Kansas
City at 1926. Kelly was riding with his
head out of the window watching for
obstructions on the numerous curves
where the railroad runs close to the
Missouri River a few miles above
Leavenworth.
The train was making between thirty
and thirty-tive miles an hour following
close to the river when Norris started
to shake the CRATES. The bar broke
and he fell backward and off the en-
gine. 1t happened that just at that mo-
ment the train was running on q part
Of the tracks that rests on an embank-
ment Of stone and earth that slopes
down to the river. Norris rolled down
the bank and into the water. The
stream was not deep, but the water
was cold, and, though he was bruised
in dozen places and bleeding, Norris
lost no time in climbing up the bank.
But the train went on at full speed.
Kelly did not miss his fireman until he
was mile from where Norris was
spilled" He ran the train into Leav-
enworth, turned his engine over to an
other man and ran switch engine
back down the track to look for his fire.
man. He took some railroadmen with
him, expecting to find Norris dead. The
trainmen say when Kelly saw his fire.
man walking down the track with
water dripping down his face the re-
union was as joyous as that of long
parted brothers. Norris went to the
hospital, but Is back on his engine now.

NOT A WRITING MAN.


even for an instant of writing some
thing, anything. But the despair was
all the tiatter afterward. Well it GER
tainly was all over now, the only thing
was to get away from her as quickly
and with as little betrayal of his stu
pidity as possible. So he blundered
out:
Tell me what l can do to let you
out"
"Us," she said, very gently, he
thought.
US" he echoed, and his heart seemed
to him to stop beating as he said. That
she should put herself into one word
with him and say "usr
There aren't any windows" she said,
IN a voice that struck him as oddly
calm, coming through the tumult of his
feelings. Father has it lighted from
the top, so that he shan't see anything
to distract his thoughts, or we could
have got out that way"

II think the blue sky or the great
clouds and the trees and flowers would

He became more ashamed than ever,
feeling that her reverence for poetic
things was high, indeed
The only thing he could think of to
say was: "Where are the switches +?
Can't turn on the lght?
"Outside." Then she laughed gayly.
"Tm afraid we really are locked up till
they remember us!''
'We! us" 1t wrought upon him
so that he could hardly hear it. Surely
she did not understand what she was
doing to him! "If you only knew" he
began, recklessly, and then pulled him
self up.

Indeed, no; there are some things

He heard that she sighed softly. This
was torment. Why was he not a learn
ed man, so that she could have asked
him and he could have told her?
Il think noticed a candle on that
table," he stammered, dismally. "The
one with the prickly edge"
"Yes, If one only knew where 1t was"
she said. "I'm quite lost, aren't your"

"WhatT
"You." he said, simply.
That's an idea," she said, as If 1t
were an agreeable one
what? How" he cried, in delight.
Was 1t possible, then, that he had ideas
without recognizing them?
"If we find each other we shall at
any rate have found something"
He was speechless. Then he said, al
MAY come to you?'
"Ye-es," she said. And well might
she hesitate in that heavenly, dainty
way, he thought. To find him was but
poor hope for her, even If to find her
was to him just everything.
He heard again the soft rustic.
Are you coming to me?' he asked,
incredulous Of his joy.
"Of course. ! must meet you half
way"
'If you could-oh, If you would"
81 am doing It," she said, and laughed
softly again.
He heard several bumps and noises
close to his own knees and shlns and
supposed that he was making them
with his own person, but he could not
take account Of that when she was
coming halfway" Next moment his
hand grasped a soft one, put out to feel
its way. Before he or she could stop
he had touched her, herself, and his
nostrils caught I'D the scent Of her hair.

Christian Experience.

Christian experience cannot be order
ed as one orders gooos from store, or
writes check on bank. 1t comes as
fruit. When we obey we know;
when we believe and follow the Lord
Jesus He gives the grace. 1t may be
very quietly, but in reality, and with
great comfort.-United PRESBYTERIAN.
