YOUNG CHAP SHOWS
FIREMEN TRICKS
Shows Great Western Suckers
How To Make Fire Without
Any Smoke

OMAHA, Feb. 23.-Operating off,
Gals OF the Great Western railroad
have ordered all CT its engines To quit
smoking, and tho order IL being gen.
orally obeyed.
When tbs eastern heads of the road
sent 2 spruce-looking young college
graduate, w. NJ. Mitchell. with in
structtons to the engineers and fire.
men to permit him to show them how
to dre their engines. q guffaw went up
from one end OF the line to the other.
Mr.. Mitchell's first suggestion was
that the engines be fired so that the
volume OF smoke would be almost neg
ligible. The suggestion was rudely re-
ceived. The flrcmen had been tossing
coal for years. and where there was
fire there was bound to be smoke. Mr..
Mitchell answered that the smoke gen.
Grated from the fire box was a wet
blanket on steam-producing heat Then
he showed them how to do the trick.
Now every empl0ye Is supplied with
post cards on which 20 report full
particulars whenever he sees an en-
CINE smoking.
Mr.. Mitchelps first appearance was
q few weeks ago. when he climbed on
a freight engine with big bunch OF
blue prints In his hand. As they
neared the first big hill he asked the
fireman how no fred to get over the
hill. The fireman said he just loaded
up the hrebox and let It go at that.
sometimes the train aid not get over
The hill on the first try. but usually 1t
did.
you are doing that wrong" said
the inspector You can't get steam
out OF smoke. II you shovel your coal
In right you can get rid OF the smoke
and you won't have to use any more
steam on this hill than on the level"
The engineer and the fireman, both
veterans. exchanged winks and gave
Il as their opinion that II the firebox
were not filed before the heavy grade
was encountered and moro zeal
thrown In going up the train would be
stalled. Mitchell took the coal SCOOP
in hand and shoveled In about half
the normal Supply used on the hill and
the train went UP with no apparent Ell.
fort.
After that every fireman wanted TO
be shown the .-ick. and as that was
what Mitchell was hired for he show
ed them. He also convinced the old
time railroad men at the head OF the
operating department that black
smoke from an engine stack was q
sign OF bad firing, and now the man
guilty OF II gets demerit marks that

| to utter the words which would reveal
where the newspaper man was con-
cealed, Gloria was upon her. She
seemed with one bound to have leapt
| the space that separated them.
"You Jezebel!" she ragged. and struck
her fair upon the mouth.
Ryan and Kelly did not stir. The
unexpected had happened, and they
were spellbound.
| Gloria's breath rushed through her
teeth with horrid, Kissing sound, her
face was flushed, her hair touseled.
and her waist in disarray. Yet she
! needed nothing but the wild impulse
to defend her own.
Little Ella, her scant strength all
spent, gasped out that she would tell
nothing. Gloria was beside herself
and the promise meant nothing TO her.
With mans strength she lifted the
woman up, held her there an instant,
and then hurled her back upon the
bed. Her head fell over the side and
she lay as one dead.
Her rage was still hot upon her as
she turned to confront the two men
"As for you, get out"
Ryan made one last half-hearted
stand.
Say, the boss hates that man Are
you really Dave kerr's daughter"
and YOU need to ask such d ques~
toni" she stormed. ASK Mike Moo
nan if you will, but beware of David
Kerr! II ever you have cause to fear
him, you have it now. My anger is his
anger, and don't you dare defy the
daughter of David Kerr"
She took a step forward menacing-
ly, as if she had strength to infiict
the same chastisement they had seen
administered to the woman. They
did not stay to argue with her. L-eav-
ing Little Ella to her fate, they made
a hasty retreat
No sooner were they out Of the room
than Gloria put into execution what
she had designed when they departed
the first time. Rushing to the door
she closed it hastily and pushed the
washstand in front of it, wedging it
under the knob. This done. she ran
back and dragged Wright from his
hiding place. There was no thought
of the woman whose head hung over
the side of the bed in such CHASTITY
fashion
Gloria lifted his head and dashed
water upon his face. She watched
him closely, and as she saw that it
had no effect upon him, sudden fear
seized her and her cheeks were
blanched. With trembling fingers she
tore at his shirt and felt for the beat
of his heart. She could feel it's faint
