THE RED BOOK MAGAZINE.
December. 1910.


1t is doubtful if any magazine has
ever offered in a single issue stories
by so many of our foremost writers
OF fiction as appear In THE RED
BOOK MAGAZINE for December.
The first story in the number is
Dickensian tale of an East Side New
York contractors Christmas, entitled,
"Cassiday's Christmas Carol" It's
author, Alfred Henry Lewis, knows
the life and characters of which he
writes as does perhaps no other man
in America. A gripping tale of ven
geance leading to a Rocky Mountain
peak is "On Silent Solidor," by Ham
lin Garland. Florence Wilkinson
tells the deeply moving story of "The
Blue Lady" and in Cupid" Gouver-
neur Morris relates the story of a
little boy who, on this occasion, be
came truly the God of Love. Ellis
Parker Buffers brief account of
Washington Wiggles and the Hot
Air Balloon" contains as many
laughs as it does lines, and Mary

is a joy. Two stories of child life

could not see that the car was not in

they were upon it. and then only had
a chance to leap from the rear plat
form as it struck the car.

Theory Regarding Engi'
neer Walker at Time
of Benson Wreck

The cause OF the recent disastrous
wreck at Benson having been found by
board OF inquiry to be due to exces-
sive speed, many dedu ctions have been
made by railroad men acquainted with
Engineer Walker, the man who was at
the throttle of the i'll fsted engine,
why he permitted such speed on such
dangerous track. Engineer Joe"
Reddock, talking to PRosP ECToR
reporter at Benson yesterday, stated it
his firm belief that Walker vas either
dead at his post or stricken paralyzed
before the fatal lea,' to death was
made. Walker vas knowatp b. one
OF the most careful men a. the
throttle. OF the particular run, where
the accident occurred, he WAS especially
careful, having previously experienced
an accident with the pay car wreck.
Without exception, his speed Was
slackened at this hoodoo point at each
trip, and that his engine was permit
ted to 20 at least 10 miles per hour
when the point most dreaded by him
WAS reached, considering the temper :
ment OF the man, who was sufferer
from heart trouble. can only be ac-
counted for in the theory oil heat
failure or suddenly stricken, as to
render him helpless at the critical
moment. A number OF other railroad
men share the same belief
