ENGINE IS UNIQUE
Drivers Under Tender as Well as
Under Cab and Boiler.
HAS SIXTEEN Driving WHEELS
First Machines Of This Type, Used or
Steep Grades in North Carolina,
Made by Using Discarded
Locomotives.

The latest thing in locomotives has
drivers under the tender as well as
under the cab and boiler. This dispo-
sitiOn makes it possible to equip
single engine with no less than 10
driving wheels. The set of eight, I'M
der the tender, has its own pair of
cylinders. In fact, the first machines
of this type, used on the steep grades
of the Southern railroad in North Car
DINA, were made by mounting tender
tanks on the machinery of discarded
locomotives. Says a writer in Rail
way and Locomotive Engineering
Relieved Congestion.
Between Asheville, N. c., and
Hayne, S. c., there lies a stretch of
track 60 miles long on the Southern
railroad, of which Mr.. ]. Hainen is
general superintendent of motive pow
er and equipment. This SIN
gle-track line had been much congested
until Mr.. Hainen worked out design
of engine which has a much greater
tractive power than the type of engine
formerly employed. The plan is brief
ly the mounting of tender-tanks upon
the machinery of discarded locomo-
tives. There is a per cent grade
three miles long on this division, and
the new engines built by the Southern
have to encounter this grade as part
of the days work.
Used Strapped Engines.
"The first of the new type of duplex
engines was put upon the road about
year ago, and it proved to be so sat
iSfactOry that seven such locomotives
have been turned out of the company
shops at Spencer, n. c. The number
of trains has been reduced, though the
total tonnage is considerably greater,
and the speed of the trains run has
been increased. To effect this salts
factory result it was not necessary to
buy new cylinders, wheels or running
gear. The parts used were taken from
strapped Mogul and Consolidation en-
gines, so that the expense involved
was reduced 20 its lowest terms.
"The scrapped engines furnished
the frames, cylinders, wheels, aXles
side-rods and valve-mOtiOn complete
BY the use of specially designed car
riers, the tanks of MikadO tenders
were mounted where the boiler of the
engines had formerly been. With 4
500 gallons of water and II tons OF
coal the auxiliary engine carries q
weight of 10000 pounds as a maxi
mum, the minimum being about 100,
600 pounds"
This duplex engine has drawing
power of $4,000 pounds, as against 46,
600 for the single engine formerly
used. Steam is carried to the cylin
derS under the tender by flexible
piping. The main or forward engine
runs on superheated steam and the
rear on either saturated or super
heated steam.

thoughtfully. They were dirty again
from the tinkering with the motor, but
the inspection went deeper than the
CRIME.
I'm not afraid of the pick and
shovel, or the wheelbarrow, and on
some accounts guess they'd be good
for me. But on the other hand, per-
haps 1t is a pity to spoil a middling

Colonel Baldwin swung in behind the
steering wheel Of the roadster and held
fresh match to the black cigar
Though he was from Missouri, he had
lived long enough in the high hills to
know better than to judge any man
altogether by outside appearances.
"Climb in" he said, indicating the
vacant seat at his side. I'm the pres
ident of the ditch company. Perhaps
Williams may be able to use you; but
your chances for office work would be
ten to one in the town."
II don't care to live in the town,
said the man out of work, mounting tt
the proffered seat; and past that th'
big roadster leaped away up the roat
and the roar Of the rejuvenated motor
made further speech impossible.

CHAPTER lI-continued.

Good Judges on the working floor Of
the Lawrenceville Athletic club had
said Of the well-muscled young bank
cashier that he did not know his own
strength. 1t was the sight of the pistol
that maddened him and put the driving
force behind the smashing blow that
landed upon the big mans chest. The
lifted pistol dropped from Mr.. Watrous
Dunham's grasp and he wilted, settling
back into his chair, and then slipping
to the floor.
In a flash Smith knew what he had
done. Once, one evening when he had
been induced to put on the gloves with
the Athletic clubs trainer, he had con-
trived to plant body blow which had
sent the wiry little Irishman to the
mat, gasping and fighting for the
breath Of life. "If ever Yell be givin'
a man that heart-punch wild tn bare
fisht, Misther Montague, it's you FIR tn
fasht train widout shtoppin' to buy
amy ticket-it'll be murther in the
first degree" the trainer had said,
when he had breath to compass the
saying.
With the unheeded warning resur-
gent and clamoring in his ears, Smith
knelt horror-stricken beside the fallen
man. On the presidents heavy face
and in the staring eyes there was a
foolish smile, as of one mildly aston
ished. Smith lOOsened the collar around
the thick neck and laid his ear upon
the spot where the blow had fallen.
The big mans heart had stopped like
a smashed clock.
Smith got upon his feet, turned off
the electric light, and from mere force
of habit, closed and snap-locked the
presidents desk. The Waterman had
not yet returned. Smith saw the empty
chair beside the vault door as he
passed it on his way to the street. The
cashiers only thought was to go at
once to police headquarters and give
himself up. Then he remembered how
carefully the trap had been set, and
how impossible it would be for him to
make any reasonable defense.
With one glance over his shoulder at
the darkened front windows of the
bank, Smith began to run, not toward
the police station, but in the opposite
direction-toward the railroad station

Saturday night at the instance of Major NJ.
]. Pickering of the University Of Pennsyl-
vana, resulted in a complete Endorsement of
the Presidents idea Of continuing college
sports to the fullest possible extent It was
agreed, however, that certain notifications
of the present rules would have to be made
to meet the new situation.
1t was decided finally that II would be
impractical to attempt to take any definite
steps in the matter until the meeting of the
National intercollegiate Association in Au-
gust and to follow that body. This organ
ization is already on record as favoring the
continuation Of sports.

Almost every representative expressed the
thought that college athletics were neces-
sary and that there would be a general re-
sumption in the fall.
