the car barn beneath. and to his unin1-
tiated ears betokened the collapse Of
an engine, the demolition Of train of
motor cars or something equally disas-

Manager Fuller, with whom he was con-

and long, an unusual thing for so busy a
man.
That" he said, 'is Prof. William F.
Dement'S high school for motormen. the
newest and one of the most complete insti-
tutions of technology in this city. Would
you like to inspect it?"
On receiving a reply in the affirmative Mr..
Fuller pressed one of the numerous buttons
on his desk and young man from an inner
Office came quickly to see what was want
ed. A simple direction was given, and, I'M
der the escort of the young man, the visitor
was escorted to the regions below and in
troduced to Prof. Dement, while his high
school, was in full blast. The school Is
on the ground floor of the big car barn and
office building. and is fitted up with all

ical, which would assist in the instruction
