They found her floating in the calm
waters of the bay, child of three
lashed to two spars. The hot sun
had dried her dress and warmed her
little body back to consciousness, and
now she was holding out her tiny
arms and cooling and calling in de-
light as if she loved the ocean as
mother; and the ocean seemed to be
dandling her gently up and down with
infinite affection-the ocean that had
just torn her from her parents arms,
and perhaps engulfed them in her
omniverous nav

They found the name Mabelle on
her clothing, but no one ever came
to inquire for the lost child, and the
fisher folks were much too simple to
go searching for her father and
mother, or her distant relatives. She
was strong and hearty child, thin

might have been seen running over
the sand barefooted to meet Jack when
he came home at night, or to bid
him good-by when he went out in the
early morning. Jack never got
started so early that Mabelle was not
up and ready to see him off.
The child loved the boy, and the
boy loved the child. Their mutual af-
fection was notorious. When the lit
tie girl was sick, she wanted none to
rock her to sleep but only Jack; and
when she was we'll, it was with Jack
best of all that she liked to play. She
would leave the other children at any
time to take a walk around the cove
with him, and many time he tool:
her alone with him in his boat, far

Jack-stories of the sea that he liked
best, and stories of strange countries
where he was going when-well, when
Mabelle no longer needed him.
One summer, when Mabelle was in
her fourteenth year, an old lady and
her married daughter came to board
for a few weeks at the little fishing
village. They sat all day on the beach
and watched the children play, and
especially watched Mabelle. She re-
minded them SO much of sister and
daughter that had been lost at sea
long before.
"Mabelle loves the sea and watches
it by the hour, just as Jenny used to
do, said the married daughter. Jenny
was always: perfectly daft about the
ocean, do you remember? Especially
just before her Mabelle was born"
Well, of. course, they saw Mabelle's
baby clothes that Mother Kipperly
had saved, and the locket, and all the
little things; and when they saw, they
knew this Mabelle was their Mabelle;
and they took her into their arms AS
the long lost dear one, and wept over
her, and kissed her many times, and
in moment learned to love her a
great deal. They gave her new
clothes, much prettier than those
Mother Kipperly made for her. And
she liked them, and was very happy.
One day before Mabelle went away,
Jack told her that he had joined the
crew OF tramp steamer, and they
were going to sail around the horn
for China, and they would start in two
weeks. Mabelle was extremely sorry.
But Jacks going away made it easier
for her to go. If Jack were to be
gone she didn't want to stay by the
sea.

belle was turned into fine lady. She

thought she was very fascinating and
! strange, and they tried their best to
| make love to her; but it was difficult
for this tall Mabelle was trif1e chilly
! like the sea-: and could frown and sulk

tempestuous when they pushed her toe
far. But. they only loved her the
more for all her queer moods. 'T' = ~.

TRAINMEN OVERWORkED
How Engineers and Firemen Account for
Numerous Wrecks. s...-

numerous wrecks,
Engineers and firemen on some of the
railroads say that they are often over
worked and they believe that many bad
wrecks result from the fact that engine
men make up sleep by doing on their
engines when compelled to run twenty
hours or more at stretch. Passenger
men do not complain, their runs are
not so long, but nevertheless they often
have only four or five hours rest between
runs. One Chicago line engineer says:
Those Of us who are on the passenger
engines have no complaint to make, but
the fellows on the freight trains are over
worked to such an extent that they lack
the quickness of perception that in time
of imminent danger would cause them to
act without hesitation and prevent acct
dent
A fireman on one of the engines Of the
same road had this to- say on the subject:
Engineers and fircrnen on my division
som etimes put in twenty -four hours at
a stretch. The run is about 200 miles.
If they are on one of the preference trains
they will make the run in eight hours or
less. but there are what, is. known as
F'+dead'' trains, which Isidetrack for all
other trains. If the weather is good it
takes these trains all Of twenty-four hours
to make the run. and the men are on duty
all the time. OF course, they are run
ming only part of the time, but must keep
| their engines ''alive" and ready to start
at a moments notice. When they get
| to La Crosse they sometimes sleep for
four or five hours, and if they are not
lucky, get another dead train back again.
Some men put in long hours from choice,
because Of the increased pay. One man
who is on the Milwaukee road claims that
he can remain on the seat of his car for
twenty hours out of every twenty four
and he does it. too, for days at a time.
1 have put in forty-eight hours without
rest, and in a month have put In fifty
eight days. The road figures both ways

REST ON SUNDAYS
The Chicago & North estern Will
Endeavor to Give Employees
the Opportunity,
Saving to Men and Equipment Is
Expected to Offset Certain
Additional Expenses.

The Chicago g. North Western road has
again taken the initiative in movement
to require less Sunday work of it's men,.
Several years ago this line laid off Sunday
trains as far as compatible with public
necessity. 1t is now proposed to give the
experiment Of laying off dead freight
trains on Sunday a test. These are the
trains which sidetrack for everything else,
being loaded with less important freight
than the trains which overtake and pass
them. Live stock, meat and perishable
freight and for the time being coal will be
transported as before.
Other roads will watch the test with in
terest Some managers do not believe the
plan practicable. Although the move is
considered to be in the right direction, the
other companies are willing to let a large
system like the Northwestern make the
experiment.
Objections are that the plan would re-
quire more crews in working days and
the expense of additional equipment. It
would soon congest terminals and side
tracks, say the plans opponents, unless
the capacity were increased.
The object Of the move is to give en-
ployes as far as possible a day, of rest
on Sunday. Machinery also requires rest
and the theory in favor of the test is
that the increased ability, and the longer
use of employees, motive power equipment
and rails resulting from the rest will
compensate for the additional expense.
The Vanderbilt interests have. always
paid more attention to their employees The
North Western was among the first to is
sue the anti drinking regulations which
now apply almost universally. In other
words the management works with the
idea that better and "larger service and
consequent safety to the public will result
from the use Of men in it's service, who are
better both morally and physically. : :.
