WANDERING FREIGHT CARS.
How They Are Rounded Up by the
Chr Accountant.

The car accountant Is typical in
stance Of development in the railroad
business In the early days he did not
exist. The superintendent was supposed
to know in general way what was be-
ing done with the companys cars. The
custom was for railroads to carry through
freight as far as the end Of their own
lines in their own cars. Then II was
transferred to the cars Of the foreign
line, and so assisted on the next stage to
its destination. SO much time, however,
was lost in making the transfers that the
needs of shippers forced upon the rail
roads n departure which has now become
their general custom. Railroads permit
all loaded cars to go through to their
destination without transfer and allow
one another n certain sum for the use
Of the cars. This results in scattering
the cars Of the different ronds over every
section Of track in the country. 1t pro-
duces the extraordinary professions OF
many colored travellers from distant lands
that delight the eyes Of youngsters at
railroad crossing.
In theory the cars are permitted to run
through over foreign roads to their dcsti-
nation ON the condition that on their arri-
val they shall be unloaded promptly and
started on the return home. In practice
the freight agent is apt to use the cars
that are most handy regardless of their
ownership. An agent in Minneapolis
would hardly think twice before filling up
n Maine Central freight car with a con-
signmcnt for Manitoba. The agent at
Manitoba would not suffer a pang of con-
science when he found himself stuiIing
the same Maine car with a cargo Of sup
plies for Waco, Tex. Thus are begun the
wanderings OF car to which. IL it were
not for the car accountant and his mem
oranda. there would sometimes be no end.
1t is by no means easy to bring the
wanderers home. When the Maine Cen
trails car accountant learns from his re-
ports that his car is being unduly knocked
about on foreign roads, his first news is
that it has spent two weeks in the yards
at Minneapolis. A tracer is at once for
warded to the transportation department
of the railroad which is believed to be
holding the car. BY this time the car is
on it's way to Manitoba. A tracer fol-
lows it there but with the similar result
Of finding that the car has been dis
patched for the southwest. 4 letter to
the company operating the line out Of
Waco brings an answer to the effect that
1t is crippled and has been run into the
shops for repairs or that it has been load
ed again. in which case the company
promises politely to unload it and send
1t home Immediately. Then the car is
promptly switched off on branch line
for some local consgnee and is not heard
OF again, except by the needy agent who
captured it, until it turns up in a tail end
collision in the state of West Virginia.
Luckily it is not a bit injured and is able
to continue its wanderings, pursued by
more and more vigorously wordcd cor
respondence, until somebody sends i,
home.-Carl Hovey in Ainslee's

One Easter morning Massena, the MAJ

armed men on the heights above TIL
town Of Feldkrch. There were no arms
to defend the town, and the inhabitants
were wild with terror. Then the old dean
Of the church cried out: my brothers,
this is Easter day! We have been de.
pending on our own strength, and that
fails. Let us turn to God. Ring the bells
and have service as usual" Then the
bells rang out sweetly and nightly from
the church towers OF Feldkirch. and the
people throngcd to the houses of prayer
for worship. The sound OF the bells made
the enemy think that the Austrian army
had come in to save the place. and Mas
sena and his $4,000 soldiers retreated
BY the time the bells had stopped ringing
there was not one soldier in sight. So put
your trust in God. and when hosts Of
troubles and temptations march for your
overthrow ring all the bells Of hope and
faith and Christian triumph. and the
threatening perils of your life will fall
back and your deliverance will be cele
brated all up and down the skies. The
God who led you through the way you
never passed before will be with you at
all the crossings.

NOT HIS FAULT,
A Man who Became an involuntary
Train RObber.

How l became a train robber on q
midnight train between New York anc
Washington is one of the most thrilling
experiences l have had recently said a
valuable member of Uncle Sans staff OF
secret service men to reporter yester
day.
Il crawlcd into my berth in Jersey City
about II o'clock on hot night, and after
l had squirmed out Of my clothes anc
was ready to cramp myself up for a slcer
! became aware that / needed a drink OF
water very much. l. however. made nc
attempt to call the obiging porter and
dozed off, still thinking of the drink OF
water which l did not have, You car
imagine the sensation which went
through me when, as the train was whz
zing along, | was brought back to wake
fulness by the realization that some one
had spoken to me. 1t was a woman's
voice, and her words, although spoken i
a low tone, seemed to have made n deel
impression on my brain. She had said:
Here, darling, drink this.
"At the same time something cool
touched my hand. l could not have beer
fully awake, for the only thing that i'm
pressed me was that here was my drink
l did not seem to realize where | was or
to comprehend who was offering me the
water. | simply raised up on my elbow
and grasped the proffered draft. As
did so delicate little hand released hold
of silver mug with a suddenness that
spilled the water and the voice that had
commanded me to drink uttered n startled
exclamation. | heard the rustic of the
curtains Of some nearby berth, and then
all was Ouiet,
"What was there for me to do? Moth.
ing. | Immediately saw that n mistake
had been made, and I again resumed my
