wooden ties stood on end in jumbled
heap, and the rails, wrenched from
their fastenings, were twisted and
broken.
With great terror clutching at his
heart Danny sprang up hastily and
rushed back to the camp. stumbling as
he went He thought of nothing but
the train, with its precious load of
humanity, speeding on to destruction.
He must save the train or die trying.
Snatching a blazing brand from the
fire he ran with it up the track. The
splintered ties tore his bare feet. and
several times he stumbled over the
wreckage, but he stopped for nothing.
The hope began to die away In his
heart And then, suddenly, the en-
gineer leaned out of his cab and
caught sight, through the gray blanket
Of fog. of Danny's waving torch.
Throwing on the brakes and shutting
OF the steam, he brought his great
throbbing engine to standstill the
trains length beyond the boy.
When some of the passengers and
trainmen went back to look for Danny.
they found him sitting at the side of
the track, looking very white. The
train had swept him off his feet.

And just then happened the strangest
thing that Danny had ever known.
Without warning of any sort, the
earth suddenly heaved and rocked be-
meath him, fiinging him violently over
There was crashing sound, as of
rocks falling and breaking close by,
and the same instant the burning pine
logs from the camp fire were scattered
all around.
Danny was too terrified to scream.
The thought crossed his mind that this
was perhaps the end of the world, and
he felt sick and faint. as well as fright
ened, but he managed somehow to
scramble to his feet, and tried to think
what had happened. Then, recalling the
strange stories he had heard over the
evening camp fires, it flashed across
him that this must be one of the
mighty 'tremblers" old Morgan. the
foreman, had often told him Of Danny
had thought he would not know what
it was.

There is a shadow of romance over
the past that leads many people to
speak of the good times of long ago."
1t is wise of beneficent nature to let
the man of 20 years forget the cares
and anXieties that beset the earlier
years of his life, and permit him to live
happily in the memory Of good old
times" He forgets the monotony OF
the nightly meal and only remembers
'the delicious cornmeal mush that
mother used to make" till the house
keeper Of to-day wonders if she knows
anything at all about cornmeal mush.
The fact IS, the laborer of to-day has
luxuries that Queen Elizabeth never
dreamed of-daily mail, telephone,
street cars, electricity for domestic
purposes, homes well lighted well
plumbed and well heated, to say moth
ing of the thousand and one articles
that we daily use, and Dc MT regard
as uXuries-matches for example.
Nowadays contagious diseases do not
devastate our cities, because State and
municipal laws unite to enforce pro-
tective sanitation, and never were
homes so clean and well cared for as
by the housekeepers of to-day. The So

THE LAUGH OF A CHILD.

There's the laugh of the dawn in the
waking east,
And the laugh of the MONDAY sky;
The laugh of the breeze, the delirious
laugh
OF the flame when the night winds sigh.
There's the laugh of the stars, and the
meadow brook,
OF the sea, and the festal wine,
The frivolous laugh, and the wonderful
laugh
OF the heart at affections shrine.
There's the laugh of the rose at the set
ting moon,
When the night has flown away,
But the happiest laugh, the ineffable
laugh,
Is the laugh of the child at play.

u ROUCHING beside the cracking
Y n camp fire Danny shivered mis-
erably as the damp fog pene-
trated his thin clothing and chilled
him to the bone. He drew his knees
up stiffly, and huddled himself in his
ragged blanket.
He was alonein the camp, for the
men had gone to do some work up the
road.
He had been dreaming Of home just
before he awoke-the dear old home
back In Missouri, where he and his
mother had kept house together after
father had gone to seek fortune for
them all farther West. But that was
long time ago, when Danny was quite
little chap, and since then many sad
things had happened. First, fathers
letters had ceased to come, and then
after while the home had been given
up, and Danny and mother had en-.
tered upon dark and troubled days. And
now there was no mother any more
and Danny, left alone in the world
was manfully trying to make his way
out to San Francisco, where he vaguely
hoped he might find his lost father
Danny had fallen in with repair gang

Jobs about the camp for little money

little lad, there was big lump in his
throat as he tried to roll himself more

to pass that If we are properly careful
of our health we will starve to death.
Science has lent itself to the adultera-
tion of food so generously and has in
vented cheap. substitutes with such
skill that nothing is what it seems to
be. The marvel of 1t all is that any
human life remains. And still more
marvellous is it that the man who eats
what is set before him, asking no ques-

the most robust health. Some men con-
vey food to their stomachs with no
more questioning and with no more

may appear, these misguided men con-

Inflated book Prices.

Hall Caine Is bringing out a 50-cent
book in London in order to prove that
1t would pay the publishers better to
issue new books at that price instead
of at the usual SLIP.
"Mr. Hall Caine," said New York
editor the other day, has felt for some
time that books should come down. On
his last visit here he insisted that the
present price, in view Of the cheapness
Of modern publishing methods, was too
high. He said that the publishers were
like the druggists.
And he illustrated his meaning
with story.
"There was druggist in certain
town who was famous for an ointment
of his own manufacture. He sold this
ointment at $105 box. A customer
came to him one day, took box of the
ointment and asked If he wouldn't
throw Off the odd money for a poor
man.
"'Well,' said the druggist you look
like deserving case, so | will
''The customer grabbed up the oint-
ment, threw down a nickel and bolted.
1.-The dollars the odd money |
meant he explained hastily, as he
shot out of the door.
"The druggist rushed out just In
time to see him turning the corner.
"'Go on, you beggarp he shouted.
I've made three cents out Of you as
II is'"

Occasionally there Is strong move

British god factories could turn out.
The excitement is peculiarly Intense
