WRECK OF THE 1910
BY HAROLD CARTER.

1t was a slack evening in the Office,
| remember, and group of us were
sitting chatting around the reporters
table farthest from Dunning. the night
editor, who had looked around rather
frowningly once or twice, as If the
conversation disturbed him
Broad's fiancee was to arrive that
evening on the 1910 from Washing
ton, and Broad, who had been cele-
brating in honor of the event, was
telling us all the details of their re.
cent quarrel and reconciliation.
"Sh-h!" said some one; and just
then a boy entered with late edi-
ton of the Planet" wet from the
press, and handed it to Dunning.
Mr.. Broad" he said sharply, and
then, changing his mind, left his seat
and hurried toward us. MIR. Broad

stantly. The 1910 from Washington
has been wrecked outside the station.
Hurry, and telephone all the news
And say, try to get list of the dead"
My Cod" said Broad, and sank
down into his seat. He buried his
face in his hands and his shoulders
shook convulsively. Somebody ex.
planned the situation in a few words.
and Dunning's face took on an express
sion OF intense sympathy. He placed
one arm about Broad's shoulders and
drew him to his feet.
"Too bad, old man." he said. But
! guess you'll be crazy now unless you
get TO Crayfeld as soon as possible.
so perhaps it would be the kindest
thing to let you cover the assignment"
Eyes, I'll CO." cried Broad, pulling
himself together.
Then, one after another, he detailed
US; one to the railroad offices, anoth-
er to the presidents house, another to
catch the general manager at his club.

and, retreating to my desk, waited.
We did not like to think about the

versation. There was nobody but liked
Broad, big, generous-hearted, free
handed.
Three-quarters of an hour elapsed.
Dunning sat stiffly at his desk, writ
ing indefatigably, glancing over finn
sizes and casting copy aside. His face
was blanched; the situation seemed
to have affected him as much as any
Of US. Once in a while the telephone
would ring, but it was always local
news or a report from some of the
men on assignment. There was no
word from Broad.
IF she's among Them" began Kemp
and we knew he meant the dead
Broad won't telephone"
20 yes, he WILL" answered conf
IDENTIFY; and at that moment the tele-
phone rang so sharply that somehow /
knew it was Broad calling from Cray
field. Dunning took up the receiver
and held 1t to his ear a moment. Then
he called me.
TITS Broad" he said. Hes calling
and says he has a good story. Don't
60 into booth; take 1t down here.
I've told him to go slow. And say"
he added, don't let him get away
without giving you the list of the cas-
ualties."

was safe.
How is she?" called. Fine" an
swered Broads voice. / thought
there was the suspicion Of a sob In it.
Are you ready? o, Miss Phayre?
Just trivial injury, thanks, old man.
The Planet story was incorrect Now

while Dunning looked over my shout

Suddenly Dunning pitched over and
fell to the ground. He had tainted.

Tho Size of Bolivia.

The area of Bolivia is not accurately
known, yet it is probable that its pres
ent area is not far from 100000 square
miles, which is the equivalent Of the
area of Germany, France and Spain
combined. From the lowlands on the
east and southeast the land rises
sometimes by easy slope and some
times by abrupt uplift to the snow
capped peak of Sorata, with its alti
tude of near $4,000 feet and to the
pyramid Of Illimani, which is given as
1900 feet in height. La Paz lies al

Heiqht of the Anvil.

Some blacksmiths do not consider the
height of their anvil in relation to their
own height. Where the blacksmith is
working on an anvil that is too high he
IS unable to strike a good hard blow.
while, on the other hand. a tall man
working at low anvil ends up by
making himself round shouldered. A
good rule to go by is to have the anvil
just at such height that the smith
