A pathetic story was wired to

A pathetic story was wired to
the press Saturday morning of the
wreck of the south bound passen.
ger train on the Iron Mountain
road at Diaz, Ark, in which En-
gineer VIM. N. Horton and Fire
man Arch Doolan were killed and
two passengers fatally injured.
Horton was past so years of age,
one of the oldest engineers on the
road, and was making his last run
before retiring to his farm up in
the Ozark mountains, where his
wife and children had just gone.
Fireman Doolan was in a former
wreck in which he was so seriously
hurt as to be confined six months
in the hospital. AS soon as he re-
covered he returned to his post of
duty only to be killed in another
wreck. These are indeed sad sto-
ries and aptly illustrate the old
familiar saying, "Man proposes,
but God disposes. Petty Enter

somehow seems to beckon him under

He has seen no one, but as he
stoops to lave his hand in the spark
ling water low sigh catches his ear.
CHANGING up, he discovers that not
more than six feet away half con-
cealed in the tropical growth just be-
side the fountain, is a female figure.
AS yet he has only glimpse of an
apparently faultless form, below the
average in size, dressed richly after
style that might bespeak the Cuban
or Spanish lady.
Jack is little embarrassed.
The little lady-possibly the daugh-
ter, or mayhap the wife of this host
has not noticed his presence as yet.
If he could only withdraw as silent
ly as he has apparently come! But
at the first move on his part he sees
her turn as though she too would quit
the spot.
A meeting is therefore inevitable.
Another instant and Jack finds him
self looking into the remarkably fine
face of a little Cuban beauty.
He opens his mouth to apologize for
