CHAPTER u.
A Beautiful Woman.

We rode wariIy along at first mind

Of marriage. AS the distance be
tween US and Long Haut dwindled
down TO a few miles, we came to the
conclusion that the man thought bet
ter of it. The breath of life was
sweet to our nostrils. The scent of
the newly turned hay came from some
distant field, and it was good.

day not yet week agOne. Then it
was a st. Martins summers day, and

RARD JOB TO START FIRE.
Labor in Getting UP Steam for First
Time In Locomotive.

Time in Locomotive.
The average citizen manages to set
the house in an uprOar every time he
has 10 make n fire in the heater, but
his Job is a trifle in comparison with
what q railroad fireman faces when a
new fire has to be built IN locomo-
tive. AS a starter about 200 pounds
of wood are necessary to fire up the
ordinary engine. The wood used Is
old railroad ties cut into convenient
blocks. When the firebOX has been
lined with wood it Is drenched with
oil and the match applied.
AS soon as the fire gains headway
forced draught is applied, the opera
ton necessarily being performed in
the roundhouse, where. all apparatus
for quickly producing high tempera.
ture is at hand. When good bed OF
blazing wood has been produced the
fireman gets busy with his shovel,
placing coal in even layers over the
flames. This part of the work is hard
oE IHe back, and the aggrieved indi-
vidual whose woes are evident to the
whole block when he labors with the
heater would go down and out in the
first minute at it. Under the forced
draught it is only a few minutes be-
fore the coal had been reduced to a
sheet of embers at white heat, and by
this time there is enough steam pres
sure generated to permit of the loco
motive being moved under it own
power.
Continuous resort to the shovel on
the part of the fireman does the rest.
1t is only about once month that a
new fire is built in locomotive while
in service. The balance of the time
the fire rs kept alight by being banked
when TIE iron horse is not on the
road.

abiding unions show undeniable evil
dences of tyranny and oppression when
they are strong enough, while many
of the unions harbor and encourage
criminals in their efforts to force a
yoke of slavery upon the American
people. AS a public speaker lately
said: "The arrogance of the English
King that reused the fiery eloquence
of Otis, that inspired the immortal
declaration of Jefferson, that left War
rem dying ON the slopes of Bunker
Hill, was not more outrageous than
the conditions that closed shop

test had he sought to prohibit or

assault, beat and murder them, blow
up their houses and poison their food
if they did not submit.
The public should also remembes
that good, true American citizens can
be found in the unions and that they
deprecate the criminal acts of their
fellow members, but they are often in
bad company.
Salt only hurts sore spots. So, the
honest, law-abiding union man Is not
hurt when the criminals are de.

man "holler" because the facts are
made public, he has branded himself
as either one of the lawbreakers or

That is one reason employers decline
to hire such men.

The great duel scene in "Fabio
Romani," the thrilling romantic me-
lodrama which comes to The Ken
lucky on Saturday matinee and

the most realistic knife fights upon
the stage today. Tension is keyed up
to the fever pitch during the strug-
gle for supremacy and the finale is
unequaled for sensational effect.
The production has everywhere been
heralded as the greatest spectacular
melodrama of the age and judging
from the large amount of scenery
carried and the clever New York
company which interprets Marie Co
relli's famous story, It is worthy of
all the commentator il has receiv-
