A Millionaire Machinist

On a hot day some months ago
an express train between Philadel-
phia and New York came to jolt
ing halt. The passengers first joked
then grumbled, then grew i'm
patient.
A big man, white, haired. but
youthful in motion, climbed down
from a chair car and marched up 10
engine, which was the center of q
ring of passengers.
Whats wrong?" he asked.
In effect, the engineer said that
the engine had quit and he didn't
know what the several things was
the matter with it.
The big man peeled off his coat
and waistcoat and rolled up his shirt
sleeves. Then he sort of disappear
ed in the interior of the unwilling
engine and the wiring of watching
passengers grew.
Half an hour later he emerged
with a smudged face and grimy
hands and said, "She's all right now
put coat and waistcoat over his arm
and walked back to his chair car,
wiping his hands on handful OF
waste he'd picked up in the cab.
She was all right and the man
who made her all right was Samuel
Matthews Vauclain, president of the
Baldwin LOGON olive Works, and a
real boss of their 10000 workmen.
It was like Mr.. Vauclain to take
hold of that engine and make her all
right Work with his hands is no
new thing to him. Equally like
him was to look on what he had done
- casual incident in a days work.

As reached the doorway Of our
building q strange surprise, awaited
me. A warrior approached bearing
the arms. ornaments and full accou-
terments Of his kind. These he pre-
sented to me with few unintelligible
words and a bearing at once respect
full and menacing.

Of the other women, remodeled the
trappings to at my lesser proportions,
and after they completed the work l
went about garbed In all the panoply
Of war.
The training Of myself and the
young Martians was conducted solely
BY the women, who. not only attend
to the education Of the young in the
arts Of individual defense and offense,
but are also the artisans who produce
every manufactured article wrought
by the green Martians. In time of
actual warfare they form q part of
the reserves, and when the necessity
arises fight with even greater intel
ligence and ferocity than the men.

strange yet becoming coiffure. Her
skin was Of light reddish copper
color, against which the crimson glow
Of her cheeks and the ruby Of her
beautifully nodded lips shone with
strangely enhancing effect.
She was as destitute Of clothes as
the green Martians who accompanied
her; indeed, save for her highly
wrought ornaments she was entirely
naked. nor could any apparel have
enhanced the beauty Of her perfect
and symmetrical figure.
AS her gaze rested on me her eyes
opened wide In astonishment and she
made little sign with her free hand;
sign which did not, of course. un-
derstand. Just moment we gazed
upon each other, and then the look
Of hope and renewed courage which
had glorified her face as she discov-
