brilliant, or so near to him, as during
those agonizing moments that follow,

2 Martin was in such a position that
he. could not look down the track and
see the headlight of the approaching
freight engine, but he could tell by
the rumbling of the ground and the
increasing roar in his. ears that death
was but minute away.
Then came the blast of the engines
whistle, blowing for signals. ! fash
ed over the helpless operator that he
had just one chance for his life. Not
getting any answering signals from
the semaphore, the freight engineer
should, under the rules or the road,
stop to see what was the matter.
Martin knew by experience that
some engineers would and some would
not obey the letter of the regula-
tions. He knew that Engineer Sc
fried was driving the through freight
and had reputation for carefulness.
Martin put al his trust in what he
had heard of Sefried and prayed that
he was not misled.
His faith was justified when he
heard the short whistle blasts for
brakes and the creaking screech OF
the grinding wheels down the track.
Sefried stopped his train bare 100
feet from the haipless operator.
Martin could give no reason for the
attack upon him. He said lie had
never seen. the men before.

A New Kind Roofing
Asphalt Gravel That VIII Last Ten
Years-Can be Used Anywhere.

Cumberland, Md. = Among the
many improvements at the new Y. NJ.
c. building is the asphalt gravel roof
tSecurity brandt that was put on
under direction Of Mr.. Adam May.
A fairy tale is told about this
roofing by Mr.. A. NJ. Strickland, Of
Elkton, Md. About fifteen years ago
he built the Elkton Foundry and COW
cred the roof with Security Asphalt
Gravel roofing and four years after
ward the building and contents were
consumed by fire. Nothing was left
but the walls ard roofing.
Being of an economical turn of
mind he ordered the carpenters to cut
down the roofing in strips, losing only
the laps.
He used these strips of roofing on the
new foundry building and it is in good
condition today after ten years of act
i've service.
1t would be difficult to believe such
tale, because tin, iron and slate or
any other composition roofing would
have gone to smash or curled up and
blown away in such a CONFEDERATION.
There is reason to believe that this
true, because it stood the test in Il
similar fire in the B. & o. hay shed
at Mt. Clare Station, Baltimore, som
years ago. \
This roofing can be purchased of
