Ars, lighting up DO vans-clad hills all
around and swapping and growing
like some savage monster gloating
over Its prey. In the red glow we saw
a man limping up the track from the
west, and Kirgan and went to meet
him. 1t was Hogan. the missing en-
gineer Of the 418.
He told us what there was to tell,
which wasn't very different from the
way we'd been putting 1t up. They
Hogan and his fireman-hadn't sus-
pected that they were carrying ma
MAC until after they had passed Baux-
lite and Collingwood had told them
both that what he wanted to do was
to overtake the special and smash 1t.
Then there had been fight on the en-
gine, but Collingwood had gun and
he had threatened to kill them both

doin' 1t, and whin saw the tail-lights,
pushed Johnnie Shovel Off an wint
afther him because there was nawth-
in else to do. Johnnie's back youndher
q piece, wild a broken leg"
Just then Jones, the specials en-
gineer, came up, and he pieced out
Hogan's story. The wire to Bauxite
had warned him that crazy man was
chasing him and overrunning stop
signals. He had thought to side-track
the chaser at the old "Y" and that was
what he had stopped for.
Thereupon the three of US went
after the crippled fireman, and when
we got back to the "Y" with him 1t
was all over. Collingwood had died
with his head In Mrs Sheila's lap, and
the boss, tagged out and half dead MS
he must have been, was up and at
work, getting the wreck victims into
our day coach, which had been backed
up and taken around to the other leg
Of the "Y" to head for Portal City.
When 1t came time for us to move
Collingwood, Mrs. Sheila pulled her
veil down and walked behind the body,
with the good old major locking his

came again In my throat when l re-
membered what Collingwood had said
to the boss the night he came to our
office: "Sheila made her wedding jour-
ney with me once, when she was just
eighteen. The next time she rides with
me 1t will be at my funeral"
guess there's no use stretching the
agony out by telling about that mourn
full ride back to Portal City with the
dead and wounded. We left the wreck
blazing and roaring in the shut-in
valley at the gulch's mouth because
there wasn't anything else to do; Kir-
gan and Jones and one of the firemen
handled the engine and pulled out.
while the rest of us rode In the day
coach and did what we could for the
suffering.
At Banta we made stop long
enough to let the boss send wire to
Portal City, turning out the doctors
and the ambulances-and the under
takers : and though 1t was after three
o'clock In the morning when we pulled
in, II seemed as II the whole town had
got the word and was down at the
station to meet us.
couldn't see Mrs. Sheila's face
when the major helped her Off at the
platform her veil was still down. But
did hear her low-spoken words to the
boss, whispered while they were car
rying Collingwood and Hatch, and two
of the others, who were past help, out
to the waiting string Of dead-wagons.
II shall go east with the body to-
morrow-today, mean-if the strik-
ers will let you run train. and
Cousin Basil will go with me. We may
never meet again. Graham. and for

didn't know, Just then, how much
or little attention Mr.. Norcross was
paying to this mighty good, clear

he said went back to that saying Of
hers that they might never meet again.

much interested in having a wise and
economical administration of the af
fairs of Daytona Beach In discuss
ing this subject he said
IT always seems i'll timed to me TO
hear men complaining about the way
a town is managed or how an election
has gone, who do not take enough in
forest TO vote at the caucus or the
election. | have heard a good many
tourists saying that this should be
done and that should not be and many
OF them appear 10 be very fine peo-
pie. but they continue to vote up
North and do not and cannot take
any part in public affairs down here
II they do not like how things are be
ing run here why don't they make
this their voting residence and then
they could have a voice in everything
that is done. They cant expect that
what they say will cut much figure un-
til they become franchised citizen
of the place. As for myself, wouhi
like TO see the best men who spend
the greater part of their time here

JOHN ROBINSON DEAD.
Former Circus Owner Dies at Maimi
Home.

John F. Robinson, retired circus
owner, died at his winter home, Mai
mi, Fla, Saturday evening of chronic
bronchitis. He was II years OF age
Mr.. Robinson had been subject to
bronchitis for number of years.
The last attack overlook him about
two years ago. He failed rapidly and
his advanced age proved barrier to
recovery.
The body was sent to Cincinnati.
Mr.. Robinson was born November
a, 1s43, in Linden, Ala, not two hun
dred yards from his fathers show.
At the age of 1s months he entered
the sawdust ring on career as per-
former which ultimately made him
one of the largest circus owners In
the world. At 1s years he had &C
cumulated enough with the aid OF his
father to start on the road with cir
Gus of his own. This expanded until
after the Confederate war it became
50 cumbersome to transport about the
rough country in wagons that Robin
SON conceived the idea of carrying it
by train.
It was the first time circus had
travelled in cars. Today the John
Robinson circus is rtavelying the

W. w. Maxwell, al associate OF
Thomas Edison, advises all young men
to start their business career by house
toulouse soliciting.
Meeting rebuffs and sharpening his
wits against the arguments of hun
dreds of persons will produce moral
fibre that will stand him in good
stead throughout life, Mr.. Maxwell
says.
The point is this:
The trying, disagreeable things that
confront US every day are the sandpa-
per and emery wheels Of life.
They wear the rorghness off our
inexperience, sharpen our mental pow
ers, fit US to cope witt harder prob
lens. and enable us to handle bigger
responsibilities.
To remember this will help US to see
eur Jobs in the right light.
We are all inclined to feel, at times,
that our job is the most exasperating
in the world. It has more difficult
angles, more unpleasant features than
any We know of. We sigh for soft
er berth.
But if, instead of seeking to avoid
difficulties, we met them boldly, we
would soon find ourselves growing in
a way that would greatly increase

HOGS FIND LIQUOR STILL
Return From Visit Acting in Very
Funny Manner

York, May 1.-Several hogs, the
property of John Darby, farmer living
eight miles west of here wandered
away from home to a neighboring
farm.
The following morning they re-
turned. They refused 20 eat corn and
gave every indication of being intoxi-
Gated.
Mrs. Darby had long suspected that
moonshine still was running on the
adjoining farm. She tipped the Off
GERS off as q result of the "hog evi-
dence."
A big distillery was located.
