Locomotive No. s.

Copyright 1907. by Homer Sprague.l
Tom Drayton, locomotive engineer,
lost his sweetheart BY death. From
that day Tom was marked for melan-
choly, but when he seemed TO have
transferred his affections to his engine
his friends had hopes for him.
For two months No. and her engi-
neer had the best Of luck Then came
an accident BY which they wee
thrown into the ditch No was pref
ty well smashed, and Tom Drayton had
ribs and leg broken. The first in
quiry he made after the surgeons had
fixed him up and he Lad regained con
seriousness was after his pet. lie said
nothing Of his own hurts, They did NOT
count. There was q week OF 50 In
which the master mechanic did not
know whether to send No to the
scrap heap or the repair shops They
did not tell this 10 Tom, but he seemed
to realize the crisis, and he fretted and
worried until the doctors were mystic
fed. Then word was brought one
morning by the fireman that sweet
heart" was to be repaired and made as
good as new. and within an hour the
doctors saw such a change In the big
man that they were mystifed again.
No. s and Tom were put back on the
old run, and for the next three years
they were in a way public characters.
Not an accident Of any sort happened
them. Other locomotives were ditched,
caught In collision or became victims
to spread rails Other engineers were
killed or discharged or MANNED for life.
No matter for snow or rain Or fog or
darkness, the pair could be counted on.
However iron and steel win not ali
ways last. Indeed, they grow old fast
err than flesh and blood There came d
day when No. s began 10 limp and
complain. For three months Tom tin
kered and patched and concealed her
condition, but this could not so on for
long. She began to lose her strength
and speed and TO be taken with queer
spells, and one day the master me-
chanic oyerhauled her and pursed his

Stories Of His Man Getting Feats said

A skeptical person calling himself

Quite so. But, once for all, had he

No, but they had heard So 1t went

frmed rumor and the same absence OF

Now for few facts as to the wolf"
writes st. Croix. HE can 60 eight
days without food and can then eat
forty pounds Of meat at a sitting, SO
the Indians say. This Is pretty fair
for an animal weighing but eighty
pounds. Yet we do not know the
length OF the sitting.

I'm winter the deer often makes for

Too often the deer browns, but better

"In summer a couple Of wolves will
