Engineer Needs LOng
Training.

An engineer OF a passenger train doesnN -
MS JOB In one bound. He comes I'm IN AZ
gradually. He usually begins as a fireman. ana
most railroads. when they select a fireman look
him over very carefully, for they are thinking
OF MN not as fireman, but as q future en-
gneer After about seven years as q fireman
he Is promoted to the Job OF engineer an n
freight train 1t Is only after another period
OF try-out. perhaps another seven years that
the engineer Is trusted with the great re-
sponsibility of driving a passenger train.
The reason for this long training is that
the engineer must be so carefully schooled and
become so accustomed to the locomotive through
the years of practice that he Is able to sense
danger and act quickly with almost a sixth
sense which tells him what to do
There is the story told of an engineer an
Western road who saved his train through
the use OF his sense of smell developed "a n
result Of his years on the road
One foggy night he was driving his train
along at his usual high rate of speed and
everything was apparently going well Sud-
denly, to his freman'S great surprise he slowed
down the train and began creeping ahead
cautiously. The fireman could see nothing
alarming on the track ahead
Then out of the fog loomed the red tail light
OF cabooSe. A train ahead was travelling
slowly. If they had not stopped Just in time
they would have run into it and there might
have been serious wreck. The train aheaA
as they afterward discovered, had got its orders
mixed and had no business there at all
sense of smells what saved u.s." the en-
glneer explained briefly. 'T got sudden faint
Whit OF engine smoke. knew it couldn't be
from my own engine, because the stack Is high
and the smoke travels straight back, so as soon
as got that Whit jammed on the brakes.
If hadn't done that, by the time saw the
tail light it would have been too late to aAvo
the train"

1.-The dirty dog!" cried Monk "He planted
that crib on Ken just to get him In wrong!"
He raced to Ken's typewriter, put q sheet of
paper in it and struck the figure o. The tai
printed full and clear in the green ink Come
on, Carrots!" he cried. Wen dash down to
see Jack Condy. This viii clear Ken for sure
Kid, you're brick"
Then suddenly he stopped closed the omen
door and sank into a chair
NO, Carrots" he said in a dismal voice
1T will clear Ken, but it won't prove that he's
not gutter. So far he's just folded up under
MS hard luck instead Of fighting" He paused
Lets give him one more chance! Let's keep
this to ourselves tonight and see If Ken won't
snap out of it. It may cost Faraday n game
but 1t will be the best thing that ever happened
to Ken If he really comes to his senses. Are
you gamer"
I'D do anything for Ken" said Carrots
simply.
The opening whistle of the Faraday-Haynes
game Shr1lled. Sitting on the very edge of
the Moor were Monk Laws and Carrots Hall,
watching Ken make the first jump at center
Their faces were tense but hopeful.
And then, slowly but surely, their hopes
faded. Ken was still crushed by his hard luck
He was not fighting. The opposing center ran
rings around him, and Haynes piled I'D a big
score against Faraday, basket after basket The
second quarter started with Haynes leading.
II 10 4. long pass to Ken went over his head
into the crowd. Running to the sideIines 70
take the ball his eyes fell full on Carrots and
Monk.
In that moment something happened to Ken
F1ene He thought of Monks encouraging
words He thought of Carrots, breaking iSola-
ton to tell him that he believed in him. And
ne was quitting, showing these good friends
That ne was no fighter when the going was
hard! Suddenly Ken FiIene was transformed
A logged. fighting determination was born in
hlm What did he care for cheers or applause?
HE'D SHOW Monk and Carrots that he was
worthy of their friendship
Nothing like that second quarter had ever
peen seen on a Faraday floor In spite of
isolation and cheating and the honor council
the students yelled their heads OF for Ken
Fllene running wild out there NOBODY could
stop him. He a whirlwind And the two
VINO yelled loudest were Monk and Carrots
Between the halves when Faraday had over
come the lead and was ahead, % to 10 Monk
and Carrots found Jack Condy and told him
their story. And while the team was down
In the dressing room Jack got up and an
nounced to the students that Ken had been
cleared OF the charge Of cheating and that
his isolation was lifted
But Ken never knew that until the end of
the game, when Faraday had another victory
and he was almost smothered under a mob of
joyful students. He had the crowd with him
again, but that wasn't the important thing.
