him a look of great refinement, espe-

him turn and walk briskly away in the

piled:
Holy father, will you give me your
cap as a memento?'
The pope said: Would you give the
holy father cold in the head?
No. said our priest, I have brought

instant they brushed the trainmen
away from the girl and Rugged and
kissed her as If she were the only heroine
on earth. Bob" Weaver, the engine
driver, had already picked her up in
his arms, calling her an angel whom
Heaven had sent to save the train and
its passengers. A dozen men, with
tears in their eyes. came forward and
wanted to adopt little Mamie on the
spot, while others, swearing or cry
ing, were taking up a collection. Enough

Mamie thanked everybody in sweet,
bewildered way, but told them that her
mother was dead, and that there was
no one to care for the children and run
the house In the absence of her father
but herself.
Told Her Story.
With the modesty of the violets by
her side, the girl talked shyly Of her
family affairs, and explained why it
would be impossible for her to accept
the many kind offers showered upon
her for home in big house, with serv-
ants to wait upon her and piano to
play after she had learned music and
other things.
She accepted the money, however, be-
cause it was pressed upon her, and they
told her that she could do what she
pleased with it. 1t was all hers. they
said.
Like dutiful daughter, she gave every
penny of it to her father, who is an tn
dustrious and honest man. Instead Of
going on a North Carolina spree to
drink moonshine whisky and have big
time with the boys at the crossroads,
he went further down the mountain and
bought the sweetest little home you
ever saw. There is a patch Of grass

This is how it all came about, and

the heroine, IA years old. lived IN q
rough mountain hut with her father in
care Of her younger brothers and sis
ters. It is a wild, stupendous region,
with the Black mountain range rising
high on every side. A river running
like a torrent through the gorge below
spreads away in soft silver loneliness
rs it reaches plateau in the wilderness.
Nannie's mother had died but few
weeks before, and, being the eldest, she
became the Little Woman" Of the
household. She was at work about the
house cooking and caring for the chill
dren when suddenly the mountain trem-
bled. and with the roar and crash OF q
cyclone an immense slab OF the noun

Southern railroad.

track and flag trains coming from below.
Then turning household affairs over

terprising managers than any other
man who wore uniform. His antics
while with Pittsburg four years ago
were harmless at first, but as the sea-
son progressed he would time and
again fail to appear when advertised to
pitch. Upon one occasion RUDE was
missing, and hunt finally located the
big twirler standing on box In front
of ten-cent side show exhorting the
crowd to come in and see the wonder-
full cherry cat. Mack finally induced
him to return to the fold, when all
went we'll for while, until one after
noon a spectator in the grand stand
made some disparaging remark to the
big pitcher, who threw the ball on the
ground, jumped into the grand stand,
grabbed the offender by the neck, and
hustled him out He was arrested for
this, but the case was settled out OF
court. Another time. when pitching
against Baltimore, Rube called in the
outfielders and sent the infielders to
the bench, and struck out the next two
batsmen. Upon another occasion he
ldllcu u IuTH UP anu Was lOuuu OA -
vacant lot pitching game for a
schoolboy team, and refused to go to
the ball park until he had struck out
the side. At Cape May he was billed
10 pitch against the seashore nine, but
did not like the Job. To get away from
the task he walked out to the edge Of
the pier and deliberately fell over
board. When he was hauled out Of the
water he laughed at his rescuers.
His experience on the stage in "The
Stain of Guilt" was one unbroken chain
of adventures. He persisted in coming
on at the wrong time, seldom knew his
lines, and insisted in occupying the
center of the stage at all times. The
management was at last compelled to
put Rube's trunk on the street and re-
fused to let him enter the theater.
After this experience he tried his hand
at the butchering business, and after
he had mangled pound after pound of
choice steaks, chops and roasts he was
once again cast adrift. Driving hack
was his next venture, but after he had
ruined two or three good horses and
scared the wits out Of at least half
dozen passengers he lost his job.
