ALMOST UNDER THE ENGINE
Child Plueked From Fearful Peril by
Trainman Who Risked His Life
In the Act

Little Johnny Roe and his sister,
Slavish children, four and five years
old, respectively, sat in the middle OF
the railroad in front of their home
near the Remington Salt works at It'll
AGA, building toy forts out of the
chunks of Stag and cinders that COM
pose the ballast.
So deeply were they engrossed in
the war game that they did not hear
the whistle of the approaching Lud-
iowville pickup, or If they did hear it
they paid not the least bit of atten-
ton. Johnny and his sister are used
TO trains anyway, and the only thing
they mind is the sound of their moth
ers voice. Mother didn't call, so
they supposed it was all right, and
kept on strengthening their fort
against the attack of the hostile
French and English. unconscious of
the more imminent danger.
The pickup was speeding south
ward toward Ithaca at fast clip when
George c. Blake, trainman riding on
the cab, saw the position Of the chill
dren, seated between the rails with
their backs to the engine. In a Sec
ond Blake broke the air line, applying
the emergency pressure to the brakes.
Then he climbed out on the running
board and down to the pilot Of the To-
connective. The little girl managed to
jump aside at the last moment, but
Johnny sat there spellbound, and
Blake, with one hand holding a brace
on the pilot, reached forward with the
other and picking the lad up almost
from under the locomotive, swung
him aside into the grass, out of harms
way. The engine rolled a few feet
past the spot where the children had
been sitting before coming to a stop.

Need of Daily Inspection.

There is one element in long dis
lance touring neglect of which often
causes the untimely end of trip be-
fore the original destination is reached.
This element is the daily inspection
and care of the car at the end of the
days run. Amateur tourists as gen.
eral rule do not realize the necessity
of constant watchfulness for fndica-
tons of future trouble in a tour OF
several weeks duration. They are
prone to prefer hot dinner and bed
after a long days drive through unfa'
miliar country to sitting up for an
hour or so with vehicle that seems
to be in prime condition.

he couldn't see anything unusual. He
began to think that Old Man Coyote
had forgotten that he was waiting. and
he had just started to clear his throat,
in order to remind Old Man Coyote.

know what else to say. He scratched
his head i'll an uncertain sort OF way
and then he ventured another question.
"Is-er-is the west very far away"
Old Man Coyote didn't seem 10 hear.
He was still gazing way, way off, and
there was a soft, dreamy look in his
eyes which made them almost gentle.
All the f1erceness and the sly look was
gone. and. somehow. it was hard work
for Sammy to believe that it was really

"It must be long way from here"

Guilty. To this aggregate may be added
an enormous tonnage of subbitumi-
nous coal and Ignite, after which the
coal reserves OF Alaska may be figured
in. According to available data, North
America is said to possess two-thirds
of the worlds coal supply
Thus. while the export of manufac-
tured products. in view of the addi-
tlonal wages earned upon them at
home, is much more to be desired than
an export OF raw material, there is no
immediate occasion for fearing an in
creased export of our coal stores This
place. as the six next largest coal-pro-
ducing nations are at war and out of
foreign markets.
The United States, despite its vast
coal wealth. has never sent abroad any
considerable part of its coal produc
ton. In 1872. we shipped 10000, 900
short tons, and in 1913 23,200,oO0 short
tens. Great Britain has been the larg-
est coal-eXporting country. In 1913
she supplied foreign trade with ST.
100000 short tons. and the bunker
trade called for 23.5J5.2SS short tons
more. However. Great Britain was
fancy over further coal export before
the war broke out. 1t is more than
likely that the United States producers
will capture considerable part of
Great Britain's ighty-two-millio n-ton
export, and hold it from now on.

Alice priInly surveyed the garment

looked even more grimly at the fash

resemble the gown pictured there. not
even distantly. 1t had looked so sim

little. easy blouse. Alice hopelessly
slipped out of her house dress and
tried it on. The effect was worse
than she had expected. In her plain
bingham she looked sensible, plain,

wasn't a sight for the gods to laugh
at. In the aslew pink messaline and
cream lace she looked foolish and

She folded the dress and put it away.
She had made it for the banquet given

been ten years since she had graduated
and then she had been in awe Of the
self-poised alumnae. who seemed to
look down at her from such height
of experience and wisdom. Now she
felt in awe of the self-posed young
graduates. who seemed to look down
at her from such a height of youth and
assurance.
She sighed when she thought of
what the years had brought her. Just
a long. dull round of keeping house
for her father. She could not leave
him and work for herself. His income
was not enough to provide more than
the necessaries of life. She had man

material and trusted that she had
