Rock island Officials

Audubon was honored yesterday
morning by number of the leading
officials of the Rock Island Road.
They came up from Atlantic in two
private cars attached to the regular
train. Among them. were H. 8. Gable,
General superintendent; G. w. Jones,
Division Superintendent; j. G. Farm
err, Division Passenger Agent; A. w.
Eberhart, Division Freight Agent;
f. M, Patti, Train Master; and f.
Muschott, Road Master. So far as
could be learned, they were out on a
tour of general inspection with refer
ence to the present conditions and fut-
nre improvements which are being
given serious consideration. 1t was
said by one of the officials present
that they are planning to provide
passenger service on the Branch lines
by the establishment of electric car
lines which would give frequent trains
at a small expense. This plan seems
very feasible and it is hoped that
something more than talk may be the
outcome.

Ottawa"
But the blizzard may cover the ice you can't

No, the wind is sweeping it across the river,
and the ice is as smooth as ever"
The face of the foreman frightened. He sud-
denly raised himself on elbow, and said: See
here, my boy, if you will go down and get that
medicine for me, I'll double your wages. You've
got the right stuff in you-not afraid of anything
Come now, will you go-and return?"
IF go I'll RETURN" Jerrold answered, noticing
the suspicious ring in the mans voice.
And you'll go?"

long journey. When he reflected, he smiled a
little. He had entered the cabin to throw up his
job and he left it with harder duty to perform than
any assigned to him that winter "But it will be

The wind had not changed by morning. Jerrold
up before sunrise to study the sky and clouds.

storm gone He ate his early breakfast alone,
strapped a bundle of food and water on his back,
and within half an hour the ice.

trip than the down journey.
az must make up for lost time now" he said,
finally bucking his skates Il must get back
to the camp before dusk"
He started to skate forward but in peculiar
manner the sled which he had been dragging swung
around in front of him. Jerrold tripped over it,
and fell sprawling the ice. When he got to
his feet again, he found of his skate-runners
broken in half. He picked it up and looked
fully at it. If only it had been strap he might
have fixed it but the steel could not be
repaired.
How shall get back?" was the first question
that occurred to the boy. He asked himself this
with little frightened culver in his voice.
Then, if to it, he added: g must
hurry up, or it will be dark before get there. 1
must skate one foot.
Skating foot may afford pleasure to some,
but does not make much progress thereby
A wounded bird can do equally well in flying

and then he tried Shedding, pushing himself with
foot while he rested his body on the new sled
This likewise slow method of locomotion.
Anxiously the boy glanced up at the sky The
rapidly disappearing behind the woods,
and night approaching He still was long
distance from camp. There apparently was no way
to make better progress, and Jerrold grew more
worried as the slowly sank.
If l don't appear at camp by dusk, l wonder
if some of the will come part of the way to
meet me-" he reflected. They know I'm coming
back to-day, and that there is danger from wolves
on the river after dark.
With this somewhat forlorn hope in mind, he
made desperate efforts to slide and along using
both the sled and the skate. The wind for
tunately had shifted since the previous day. and it

THE great northern woods were
wrapped in snow and ice for six

worked in the logging camp; and he found
it difficult to do the task assigned him,
for it included long tramps over the snow
and ice to carry the workmen's imple-
ments Axes and crowbars were con-
tinually getting dull, and Jerrold took
them to the ''snithy" shop erected close
to the camp border, half mile away
from the logging operations.
Ierrold was no chooser of his work, for
he was poor and dependent upon his
small wages for the necessities of life.
Though scarcely seventeen, he neverthe
less was strong and sturdy. The work of
1og-driver or cutter could not have been
harder than the manifold duties he was
called upon to perform Every man in
camp seemed to consider him as
special messenger and waiter.
Jerrold did not grumble outwardly,
for he had begged for the position at a
time when he was cold hungry and
destitute
Yes, you can try it here" the fore
man had replied but you'll soon get
enough of it. Camp boys never stay
here long 1 s'pose the men drive them
too hard"
Then he had laughed harshly and
Jerrold had colored to the roots of his
hair; but he accepted the position 1t
had been six months of hard grinding
labor and little pay. He scarcely had
enough ahead to pay his way down to
Ottawa.
I'm stick it out until spring. he said
grimly; then III go.
But the work accumulated, and the
position became almost unbearable. One
day the climax was reached when he
was sent FIVE miles up the river with a
message to another gang of men. There
was a raging blizzard, and the boy nearly
lost his life in the tramp. When he
finally returned he had decided to hand
in his resignation. He stalked angrily
toward the foreman's cabin, ready to
tell him that he was going to quit and
wanted his money.
When he reached the cabin he heard
groan from the inside. A rough voice
growled: Come in and shut the door!
What do you want? Oh, it's you, is it"
Jerrold stood irresolute. The big fore
stretched on a rough cot, writhing in pain.
We'll, you got that message down to

miles were covered before Terrold even
stopped for a rest Then he sat down
in the sunshine and ate his dinner
He rested long enough to renew his
pleasure in the exercise, and then once
more skated over the smooth ice Long
before dusk of the early evening he was
in Ottawa There was no need to hurry
about his purchases for he was to rest
one day in the city, and return early the
following morning Among his pur-
chases for the foreman, besides the medi-
cine to allay the pain of his rheumatism,
was ten yards of unbleached muslin to
be used for bandages. When he gath
cred all of his small packages together,
Jerrold found that he had a formidable
load.
Il ought to have a sled for Them"
he murmured
AS he said this he passed store where
brightly painted sleds and hobs were
displayed in bewildering array Jerrold
was only seventeen, and therefore not too
old to appreciate the pleasures of coast
ing. When he saw the sleds, and thought
of the fine coasting he might have on the
river banks by the logging camp, he
stopped and pondered. The foreman
had given him five dollars to undertake
the trip. Why not buy sled and carry
back his purchases on it?
The following morning, bright and
early, a solitary skater left the city of
Ottawa, dragging behind him brightly
painted sled, on which were strapped a
few packages. Often Jerrold would turn
his head to glance admiringly at his
sled. Every ten or fifteen minutes he
would propel it forward, and take a
flying leap on it to coast along on the
smooth ice.
In this way he proceeded up the river,
making pleasure of his trip and covering
nearly as much ground as if he had
skated continuously. With cheeks
flushed and eyes burning brightly, he
soon forgot all about the hard times he
had been through the past winter.
At noon he stopped to eat his lunch.
He spread out his simple repast on the
sled, and sitting on the trunk of tree
enjoyed himself hugely. The tempta-
ton to linger there was great, and he
was couple of hours later on the return
on the down Journey
