Wrecks Pay Interest on Railroad Debt

"Whee! Some wreck! Say, pop, how did the
camera man happen to be there when the train
jumped the track?"
When fathers boy asked that at the picture
show dad stalled" To be sure he did. How
could a hard-workin father be expected to an
swer the why's and wherefores of the movie bust
ness? Didn't he furnish the nickel? And wasn't

"Ennyhow,' said ma, "the picture man is always
there"
Nix! I saw a coal truck hit a garbage wagon
tother day." said boy, IAN there want no cam

But the picture man" gets the wrecks, all right;
he buys 'em.

And so gather round the printer man while he
spins a yarn as to how the camera man, like Snap
shot Bill, is always hard by when the train is
wrecked, to-wit:
Under the heading of wrecks and Automobile
Smash-Ups'' the income account of the Wharton
and Northern Railroad shows that the company
adds about $4,000 to its yearly earnings. This
sum is more than equal to the interest on the
roads outstanding bonded Indebtedness.
While other railroads in the country look upon
a wreck or smash-up of any kind as a direct cause
of financial loss, to say nothing of the expense of
endless litigation and the loss of patronage, the
Wharton and Northern makes an entry on the
credit side of the ledger every time it sends an
engine crashing into an automobile or a train Of
cars tumbling down the hillside.
The road extends from Wharton to Green Point
Junction, in Morris county, New Jersey, a distance
of about twenty-five miles. 1t forms a link be-
tween the Erie and Lackawanna lines. 1t trav-
erses a rugged section of the state Of New Jersey,
through what is known as the COpperas noun
tains, a continuation of the Appalachian range.
The hills are grand masses of granite, veined with
magnetic iron ore.
Historically, this section of the country is inter-
esting, for it was there that much of the iron used
in making firearms and munitions during the War
of the Revolution was smelted and forged. Plow-
shares and other implements employed In peace
full pursuits were also produced.
All Of this property at one time belonged to
Queen Charlotte of England and comprised what
was known as the Charlotte grant. The Wharton
Steel company of Philadelphia, which now owns
some five thousand acres, is the owner of the
Wharton and Northern railroad.
When the steel industry was at low ebb, a few
years ago, the roads earnings slumped badly, and
Mr.. p. T.. Stryker, the general superintendent, be-

away at its nearest, but the distance
seemed less.
A few faint STRINGS of air began to

gan to figure out how the income of the road could
be increased. About the same time the directors
of a film company were looking around to find a
railroad that would be willing to stage wrecks
and other thrills which necessitated the smashing
up of engines, cars, automobiles and other prop
erty.
Mr.. Stryker told the directors of the film COM
pany that he could supply their wants. He ex-
planned that his road was ideally situated to stage
such horrors, as there were plenty of curves in the
roadbed and enough high embankments and steep
mountain sides TO furnish the proper scenic back
ground. Likewise, he could readily furnish the
cars and engines and, what was equally necessary,
the engine drivers and trainmen with the intelli-
gence and technical skill to handle Just such work.
Mr.. Stryker received a commission TO stage a
wreck, and ever since the Wharton and Northern
road has engaged in the peculiar business of pro-
ducing wrecks and smash-ups to order.
The staging of n collision or accident Is q big
undertaking, and 1t requires some time to arrange
all the details. The director of the film company
first goes over the road until he finds the point at
which the background, scenery and other physical
features conform to his idea of the proper setting
of the scenario. This may call for a high embank-
ment or q ~trestle, or it may be necessary to have
a river below, so when the cars jump the track
they will pile up on end in the stream, or it may
be that a smash-up in which the cars roll down an
em~bankment and catch fire Is wanted.
After the director Of the film company decides
Whal KIM OF u smaSn-up ne wants and where he
wants it to take place, Mr.. Stryker sets about to
procure the engine, cars and other accessories.
On one occasion the director Of one film COM
pany desired TO picture a forest fire in a section
Of the country traversed by a railroad, in order
to show a rescue scene in which people residing
in the burning area would be saved by the quick
action and heroism of a train crew. Along the
right of way of the Wharton and Northern was a
strip Of country about half a mile in length and
extending back about a quarter of a mile from
each side of the track. 1t was covered by a con-
siderable growth of underbrush, scrub trees and
other ANN material which for a long time
had been a menace not only to property belonging
to the railroad but to the surrounding timber lands
and dwellings. After the property owners had
given their permission and a fire patrol to guard
against a spread of the fire had been established.
the film company placed its cameras and got the
desired picture of a train rushing through a for
est fire, making the rescues.-New York Herald.

Hickory had arrived. He was at the
house MS o as he had put up his
horses. Then he went to see the land
lady. Yes, the two strangers had been
there again, he was told, and Mrs.
Royce had suffered a relapse. She un-
derstood that the men had gone to the
hotel.
Hickory arranged for a substitute
the next day and hung around town, To-
Gated the two men at the hotel and pro-
ceeded to shadow them. They were
f%urtive, evil-eyed fellows and Hickory
wondered what their business could be
with Mrs. Royce.
Late in the afternoon the men
strolled beyond the town, as if seek
ing a quiet spot where they could dis
cuss their affairs free from the dam
ger of watchers or eavesdroppers.
In striving to keep them as close
company as was safe, Hickory made a
detour that nearly betrayed him. To
evade discovery he was forced to hide.
A hollow log was the nearest covert.
Hickory crawled into it, fully hidden
from view.
The men paused at the log. 1t was a
convenient resting place. They sat
down upon it. One of them was speak
ing.
1.-THE woman fooled us. The order
she gave us on a broker in the city he
would not pay, said she had met with
losses and had no balance to her ac-
count"
Put up job, you see, yes, and if she
don't come down with the cash, I'll
spring the contents of this package on
her artistocratic friends, just for re-
venge."
They arose and started down the in
cline. Hickory protruded his head to
gaze after them.
THUNDER !" he calculated.
The movement of his body had
thrown the log off it's bala-sre. 1t be-
gan to roll down the hill. ut struck
both men. One was sent to the ground
stunned, the other was swept aside, his
ankle broken. This was a shock. The
log landed against a tree and shat
tered.
Hickory crawled out from the debris.
He noticed a package lying where it
had been dropped by one of the men.
He reached it, glanced over it. He
comprehended that the documents it
held related to a serious error in the
life of a close relative of Mrs. Royce.
These men were blackmailers.
you scoundrels !" reared the stall
wart woodsman, shaking his brawny
fist at the two men. Get out of town
by nightfall or I'll have you taken out
across a rail-"
Then Hickory went to the home
where Mrs. Royce a a boarder. He
insisted on seeing her. He told her his
story, simply, clearly.
You shall read the documents" she
said. 81 have tried to shield a culprit.
1t is a family secret, and oh! the relief
to have it beyond the power of those
cruel men who threatened to disgrace
u.s."
Il do not wish to know your family
secrets" replied Hickory, II am inter-
ested only in you"
He flung the package into the blaz-
ing CRATE. She came towards him,
tears in her eyes, her hands extended
s~upplicatingly.
"Once you asked me to marry you"
she faltered.
Yes !" he vowed breathlessly.
She leaned her head against his
strong, protecting arm.
ASK me again." she whispered
softly.

fellows, almost at the end of its long
flight, came blowing along in the OPP

blur appeared ahead at an angle of
about 80 degrees above me. At first

from the hollow pleasures of the big
cities.
Mrs. Royce stayed a month In Broc-
ton, two, three. She lived quietly,
made friends with everybody she met
and seemed to enjoy the life she was
leading. Several times she went up to
the railroad town and sat on the same
seat with Hickory. He finally made it
a rule to call on her two evenings a
week. She welcomed him as an es-
teemed friend on all occasions.
