~:-E1n HAD now been In my
S-NSf position about six
EMN months. The interest
IH@ ing events which /
INM have recorded had
IHS:.s5 kept. me from any
Vi:---..;:- longing to return to
the exciting experiences Of my profes-
sion. During this time I had grown
somewhat stouter, and my counte-
nance had begun to assume a kindly,
benevolent, well fed appearance. Nee
essarily I had grown a trife lazier.
Several times ! had almost decided to
return to my old methods Of life, but
a certain inertia, undoubtedly bred and
nourished by my new existence Of ease,
always prevented. I would keep de-
ferring the time until more conyen-
lent period.
A genuine fear that would lose my
skill through lack Of practice occasion
ally tormented me, but each time 1
put it aside with the thought that my
profession was no longer an absolute
necessity. 1t did not mean bread and
butter to me as it did at one time. I
was q full fedged butler, and I could
secure a good recommendation from
my master any time chose to leave.
Warned by my own experiences,
never let an opportunity pass to help
a young man just starting on the
downward road to get back to the
main highway. I never entertained
any serious thoughts Of getting back
there myself, but I hate to see others
straying from it.
Nevertheless now found myself
slowly drifting back~to an honest life.
This had been accomplished through
no choosing Of my own. Circumstances
again were responsible for this change.
I did not make any resolves to remain
thus for any length Of time-in fact l
rather expected that the time would be
brief.
AS just remarked, never liked to
see another, especially young man,
taking the downward road, and it was
this strange feeling that gave me
little worry and anxiety in my idle life
as butler for Mr.. Goddard. realized
that my master was leading a double
life; that he was pursuing his burglary
tendencies systematically and that he
was committing crime even while he
was making love to Miss Stetson. This
circumstance ut first puzzled me; then
it worried and irritated and finally dis
gusted me. l could not fathom its
meaning. l saw my own crime, Illus
trated in him, in it's true light, and 1t
positively made Inc ashamed OF my
record. l longed to speak Of the mat
ter to him. but our peculiar relation
ship prevented it.
While sympathized with him for
the incurable disease which had al
ways cast blight over his young life,
soon learned to condemn him for his
rash folly. No man Of his position, In
telligence and opportunities in the
world had any business to stoop to
crime. In some cases necessity may

RAILROAD CHRONOGRAPH.
Invention Which Keeps All Kinds
of Tabs on the Engineer.

A company Is now being organized
in Milwaukee to finance an invention
which it's inventor claims, will pre-.
vent many. Of the wrecks and accidents
which now alright world with theiI
grewsome record, when its use be-
comes general. This company will con-
troll in the United States the patent
rights of the railway chronograph,
as it has been styled by its inventor
H. G. Sedwick, formerly OF Beloit'
Wis, but now a resident Of New York
city.
The machine which is to do this
wonderful work Is but a small afrair,
an iron box about twelve inches square
and three inches thick. It Is devised
to keep a record Of the work Of the To-
comotive to which 1t is attached and
Of it's engineer.
The mechanism Is such that it rec
ords on tape every blast Of the whis-
tie, together with the exact time and
place, the speed Of the train at every
moment Of time; the time and place
an accident occurs; the speed ap-
preaching, the arrival, the delay, and
the departure from any station; the
number of miles and the amount of
time consumed in switching at any
station; when and where the airbrake
was applied; how long any engineer is
on duty, any and every trip; just
where the locomotive was at any mo-
ment and what it was doing at the
time; and how much steam Is wasted
through the pop" or escape valve.
The device is entirely automatic and
simple to a degree. It is attached to
the engine just in front Of the cab and
over the boiler. Various levers project
from the machine and these are at
tached to the parts Of whose action a
record Is desired.
Inside the box Of the machine is q
self-winding clock, which records its
time upon a tape that winds through
the mechanism, by punctured dots,
one-tenth of an inch apart. Each dot
represents twelve seconds of time.
The tape Is about one and one-half
inches wide, and is always IN motion.
II Is ruled off into seven columns, each
one for a particular record, and de-
signated respectively as the whistle
column, the air column, the bell COL
umn, the pop or escape valve column,
the time column, the one-tenth-mlle
column and the engineers punch COL
umn.
A rod from one of the levers Is at
tached to the crosshead Of the engine,
and every time the locomotive moves
one-tenth of a mile this makes punc-
ture in the one-tenth-mile column. BY
the distances between these points the
speed Of the train can at all times De
determined. Another lever Is attached
to the bell, and at every stroke of the
bell It makes a record on the tape IN
the proper column. The same Is done
in the whistle column, when the whis-
tie is used; In the air column when the
brakes are set and in the pop column
when the escape valve Is opened.
The last column is for the engineers
record. By means Of lever in his cab
he makes a punch in this column
when desired He punches in the time
Of arrival at a station and his depar-
lures, as ordered in his rules. He can
also mark any other occurrence that
he wants to have recorded. For in
stance, the inventor declares that on
