He is attacked with delirfum tremens at
his home, but an hour before the train
was to start The scene where he was
fighting off the demons and could be
soothed only by his little six-year-old
child. who was aroused from her cot and
prays for him, was intensely pathetic.
However, he leaps from a window in an
endeayor to kill himself. In this he fails
and is found running away when Harry
Rand, his fireman, stops him and leads
him bleeding about the face back to his
home. He is braeed up with a couple of
drinks and swears never to touch liquor
again. Still he says he cannot report for
duty.
The fireman is determined that Handy
shall not succeed and induces Sanford to
report for duty and make the run, even
if he, Rand, had to manage the engine
himself Handy follows the engineer to
the roundhouse in his efforts to make
Sanford drunk, but is unsuccessful. He
then hires three thugs to kidnap Nellie
Sanford and take her to a hut alongside
the railroad in an out-of-the-way place.
Unsuccessful efforts are made to rescue
her She prefers death to dishonor and
is bound on the tracks over which the
special is to run. This leads up to the
great engine scene in which appears over
half a locomotive of the regular size,
with wheels whirring and fire and smoke
playing an important part. The woman

whole lot of amusement. The members
of the cast are all good. Mr. William

As the name implies, it is one in which
pathos dominates. but there is so much
comedy injected into it that the pathetic
scenes are almost forgotten. The play,
however, teaches a splendid moral lesson
and should be commended. The scenes
and some of the characters may be some

pected Not that the acting of the stars

SO far as man who drinks concoction
