New York. How his brother had com
mitted the crime of forgery, how he
had come to Hubert for help, confess
ing a secret marriage. How the little
wife was good, delicate, with a wee
babe in her arms.
He said he'll kill himself If they
tried to arrest. him." Hubert related
He had to tell me, for had found
him out. And-I couldn't stand the
look in his wife's eyes. So when II
was discovered, | said did it. They
put me in prison-oh, l can't think
of tit was dreadful to be Gagged
and when at last they let me out,
went abroad. And then money came
to both of us-my brother and my
self, from rich uncle, and at last
could go to college, as had longed tc
do years before. But am smirched-
l have no right to ask any woman to
be my wife-but loved you SO, Ruth
that was my excuse"
Not a word of his great heroism in
bearing the sin of another! Not a
word to show that below the light
heartedness there had been often
great heartache. In her deepest soul
she worshiped him.
Il can show you all the papers,
he said, out of a silence, so that YOU
may know that my story is true"
True" she said, with great light
in her eyes, "oh, you wonderful man
to think ! could not understand"
The world will say things of me,
he warned her.

GETS SEVERE TEST

Few persons outside the realm of

road know anything of the Outlines
vexatious peculiarities and not infre-
quently seeming intelligent capers of
a locomotive when being broke" to
its mission in the world. Each new
engine must undergo a set training
or test before it is put into actual serv.
ice, and each locomotive which has
gone through the shops for repairs is
given a certain working out before it
Is returned to it's erstwhile duties.
Some locomotive manufacturing
companies complete their engines
ready for actual service before send
Ing them out, others ship them to the
destination in partial "knockdown"
state and they are completed in the
shops of the road to which they are
delivered.
When new engine is taken into a
shop it is turned over to a mechanic
whose duty it is te fit it up and make
all connections and adjustments of
the interior mechanism. This COM
pleted, the engine is turned over to a
fireman, who steams it up and blows
1t off in order to remove any grease
that might have accumulated in the
boiler or any such foreign substance
as might cause a boiler to foam"
while in service. The engine is then
turned over to an engineer. whose
duty it is to break" it in. The engine
is steamed up again, and if it will run
is taken for a little tryout about the
yard.
The science of locomotive building
has been developed to such a fine
point that there is little danger now
of an engine "bucking" on it's first
trial. The main feature in the test
is to see that there is no heating in
the journals or rod brasses. If there
is no heating the engine is run about
the yards for about half day and
the steam is again blown from the
| boiler.
The engine is then steamed up and
taken for a long run on the main line.
If during this test there are no capers
cut the engine is sent out for it's first
trip with about 500 tons to draw. If
it runs all right the tonnage is gradu-
ally increased to $50 tons. The tom
mage depends greatly upon the size of
the engine. The average engine of
to-day will draw about $50 tons on a
mountainous road and from 1900 to
1900 tons over level haul. The test
speed is from one to 20 miles an hour.
Heating is one of the principal dis
eases of an engine, and it is this fea.
tum the engineer looks to more than
anything else. The mechanical sense
of the engineer is SO developed that he
can detect the least defect about his
engine.
John Miller, the locomotive buster''
for the Nashville, Chattanooga & st.
Louis Railroad company, breaks on
an average 20 engines each month.
He has been breaking engines for this
company for the last five years.

For Preserving Steam Boilers.

Consul General Benjamin H. Ridge.
ly furnishes the following report on a
new Spanish composition for preserv.
ing steam boilers which has just been
placed upon the market at Barcelona:
"The compound appears to be an i'm
provement on all previous inventions.
1t is claimed that by adding certain
quantity of this preparation to the
water tanks from which the boilers
are fed all impurities in the water and
matter that might adhere to the sides
of the boiler are at once precipitated.

not only are the life and efficiency Of
the boiler increased. but a great
economy in fuel is derived. The com.
position is in the form Of a colorless

SHOT BY HIS
MEDITERRANEAN
Doctor Perforated by Woman
He Made a Widow Two
Years Ago .

Northport, N. Y, July 13.-Stand-
ing within a few feet of the spot
where, little more than two years
ago, he shot and instantly killed
his father-in-law, DR.. James Weddle
Simpson, dentist of New York, was
shot and perhaps mortally wounded
today by his mother-in-law, Mrs.
BARLEY T. Horner, the woman he
made a widow. hl '..
DR.. Simpsons wife, from whom he
has been estranged for many months,
was near when the shot was fired,
but she did not witness the shooting.
Upon learning that it was her hus-
band who had been wounded, she
refused to go near him and DR.. Simp-
son had to crawl to house two hun
dred feet away to have his wound
attended to.
Mrs. Horner was later arrested and
held in $1,000 bail, while DR.. simp-
son, with the assistance of two
friends, made his way to the Roose-
welt hospital in New York. The bull
let lodged in his liver and an immed-
late operation was performed, to ex-
tract the bullet. The doctors said to-
night that DIR. Simpson had only a
| small chance of recovery. 81.
Statements from DR.. Simpson and
from Mrs. Horned as to the shooting
disagree. The dentist says that he
had received word that his wife in
tended to sue him for divorce and
| that he went to the Horner home to
! talk with her about it. He says he
rang the DOR bell and upon receiving
no response peered through the door.
He saw Mrs. Horner, he says, and
called to her to open the door. Then,
DR.. Simpson says, Mrs. Horner grab
bed revolver and shot him.
Mrs. Horner does not deny that
| she done the shooting, but she claims
justification. Through her Lawyer
Rowland Miles, she said that DR.
Simpson had several times called a
the house and that his visits were I'M
welcomed.
When he came, she says, she or
dered him away and when he refused
to go she took up the revolver ant
shot him. After Justice Hawkin
had fixed her bail at $1,000, Mrs
Simpson. the prisoners daughter
qualified as bondsman, and secured
the release of her mother.
The second tragedy at the Horne
homestead is only another chapter il
the sequence of the unhappy domes
tic events of the last few years. TIL
shooting of BARLEY T. Horner b
Simpson aroused the countryside il
December, 1905, and when the DENTS
I was put on trial his wife took tn
witness stand against him. Mrs
Horner also gave damaging testi
mony against her son-in-law. MI
Simpson was going through the mar
uel of arms with shotgun when h
3 accidentally shot his father-in-law.>
| Mrs. Simpson said that while sh
= was not present when her mothe
3 fired the shot at DR.. Simpson, sh
f believed her mother was absolutel

what he deserved.
