A TRUE STORY
IN AN INSTANT THE TRAIN OF NINE
CARS WAS PILED THIRTY FEET
HIGH.

Three years ago as the Overland
Limited dashed through the night,
in the bad lands forty-fve miles west
of Cheyenne, Wyoming, rail broke
in two and came up through the bot
tom of the baggage car, In an in
slant the train of nine cars was piled
thirty feet high, while about and be-
meath the wreckage were more than
one hundred and fifty dead or injur-
ed human beings. A frightful sleet
storm with biting cold was raging,
and to this the hurt and dying lay
exposed.
The locomotive was wrecked so
that it was impossible to cut loose
and race ahead to the nearest settle
ment with word of the disaster, and
it seemed as if nothing could be done
to save the sufferers except to flag
the next train, due in FIVE hours,
when, from under the wreck, on
hands, and knee stumps, came an ap-
partition leaving red trail behind.

and connected his telegraph key.
Tenderly propped by anxious hands,
he began to send the call for the
Cheyenne operator, meanwhile gaz-
ing st ically at the pool where his
life blood ebbed away. At that un-
usual hour of the night he found
trouble in raising his man, and he
pounded his key for ten minutes be-
fore he got an answering click.

When the Brute Fights Either He or

Nothing causes the East African
eolonist more genuine concern than
that his guest should not have been
provided with a lion. The Hon.
Winston Spencer Churchill SAYS
that a failure to produce a lion
preys on the colonist's mind until
it becomes a regular obsesSion. He
feels that some deep reproach is
laid upon his own hospitality and
the reputation of his adopted coun-
tn. In SMy African Journey Mr..
Churchill tells something of the
pursuit of this noble, game:
