The Engineers story.

ITO run over a man-perhaps that's
the only thing of all that shakes me.
To see him on the track within 10 or 20
feet of you, to know that you can't stop
to save him. to feel the wheels of the
engine 60 over his body. crunching out
his llfe-a man doesn't want to expert
ence that more than once In a lifetime.
ITS worse with child. There was
an old mate of mine In the west when
was riding In the Union Pacifc-nev-

good an engineer as ever stood in a
box, cool, nerve like steel, had been
through three wrecks, holdup and q
fire. Well, one day Jim was little be-
hind his schedule and made like any
thing for the next stop. There was
crossing right In front of him. He
saw that everything was clear, as he
thought. and went right ahead, when
all at once out of a clump of trees there
ran a little golden haired fairy right
In front of the engine. 1t was all over
in one instant. and when the train stop
ped Jim dropped like log. 1t was two
months before he crept back again to
work. But he could never come to that
crossing but he saw the little girl with
her hair fiuttering in the wind running
out from the trees. And one day he

is said to be one of the most successful
fishermen in his part of the country,
and he claims. TO call the fish to him
by singing "Old Hundredth.' He goes
out in his boat and takes a station in
fairly deep water. Then he sings, at
the same time keeping his eyes on the
water in search of fish. Gradually the
fish crowd about his boat, he claims,
and when enough are gathered togeth-

catches dozens at single haul. The
old gentleman has famous voice, and
his neighbors are inclined to believe
his strange story.-Chicago Record.
