alternative offered itself he resolved to
put on al brakes when be got to the
foot Of the hill and deliberately wreck
bis own train. There was q straight
track for three miles on the farther
side Of Benson, and the engineer Of
the passenger train would see the
wreck In ample time to come to a stop.
This plan. il carried out. would prob
ably mean death for Jimmie, but be
analyzed the situation none the less
eo0lly because OF that. Death Is some
thing that engineers get accustomed TO
facing. But il he could only discover
some way Of letting Nettis know the
condition Of affairs II would be an
easy matter for her TO throw the de-
railing switch after he had passed and
allow the rear half OF the train to
come to q safe haven in the cornfield
beside the track.
Down at the station Nettie heard a
sound which sent her rushing out to
the platform. Away up the hill she
could see freight train coming down
at terrific rate Of speed. The whis-
tie cord seemed to be in the hands Of
lunatic, for the whistle was sound
ing in strange. unearthly shrieks. As
she watched II something struck her
as being strangely familiar about the
way the whistle was sounding All
OF a sudden 1t struck her there was
method in the shrieks and that inter
preted by the Morse code they were
saying "BN, BN, BN,s her station call.
This was continued for few seconds,
and then began: Broke in two Throw
derailing switch when first section is
past station" Three times this was
repeated, and then the engine went
around the curve at the farther end Of
the loop, and she could hear the whis-
tie only family.
But she heard enough, and when
Jimmies engine whizzed past the sta
ton with his white face pressed close
ly against the glass at the side Of the
engine cab he saw Nettie standing at
the switch. When the last car in the
part of the train which still remained
intact had passed the frog he saw her
throw all her weight on the switch
handle, and the signals told him that
all of the cars which were follow
ing him would pile themselves un-
gracefully, but harmlessly. on the soft
earth Of the cornfield. Bringing his
engine to a stop. be ian back to the
station and on to the siding in ample
time to let the passenger train pass
him.
The trainmaster examined Jimmie
very closely as to the necessity Of pill
ing valuable freight cars on useful ag-
ricultural land and passed the case up
to the division superintendent. He ex-
amined the papers carefully, made
some notes on the bottom Of them and
referred the whole matter to the su-
perintendent OF motive power. When
Jimmie walked out Of the Office be was
a fun fedged engineer and had been
congratulated on his presence of mind.
And the superintendent OF motive pow
er congratulated him again month
later when the railroad lost the sery-

BATTLE HYMN OF THE WOMEN

They are waking. waking, waking, In the East and in the West: They are throwing wide the windows
 to the sun; And they see the dawn in breaking, And they quiver with unrest. For they know their work is waiting
 to be done. They are waking in the city, They are waking on the farm. They are waking in the boudoir ard
 the mill; And their hearts are full of pity As they sound the loud alarm To the sleepers who in darkness
 slumber still.
 In the guarded harem prison, Where they smother under veils. And the echoes of the world are
 walled away, Though the sun has not yet risen, Yet the ancient darkness pales. And the sleepers in their slumber
 dream of day Oh, their dreams shall grow in slpen-
 dor
 Till each sleeper wakes and stirs; Till she breaks from old traditions
 and is free. And the world shall rise and render Unto Woman what is hers, And welcome in the race that is to be. Unto Woman. God the Maker Gave the sercet of His Plan; It is written out in cipher on her soul. From the darkness you must take her, To the light of day, of Man! Would you know the mighty mean
 ing of the scroll.

ANGELS.
Wilcox.

In the old days God sent His angels oft
 To men in threshing floors. to wo- men pressed With daily task; they came to tent and croft, And whispered words of blessing and of rest. Not mine to guess what shapes those angels wore Nor tell what voice they spoke. nor with what grace They brought the dear love down that evermore Makes lowliest souls it's best abiding place. But in these days, know my angels well; They brush my garments on the common way, They take my hand and very softly Some bit of comfort for my weary day. And though their angels names I do not Ken, Though in their faces human love I read, They are God given to this world of men, God sent to bless it in its hour of need. Child, mother, wife, brave hearts that take The rough and bitter cross. and help us bear Its heavy weight when strength is like to break God bless you all our angels un- aware,
