after the engineer gave him the signal
No. was not in sight and Roger was
wondering il he would have time to
60 back to the day coach and see If
Eunice was all right. Perhaps it
would be several minutes before No.
arrived
But just as he pulled by Hogan
he heard the shrill whistle of the
oncoming No. S. Although he could
not see it, he knew that the train was
coming fast, and suddenly Roger
realized that 1t was coming too fast
to stop at the red semaphore in front
OF the depot, or even to stop or slow
up much before it reached the end
OF the passing track, where he was
pulling No. through the switch.
X X
OUTSIDE the depot the operator
~ was wildly waving. Garry was
rolling his train down the grade with
the good intentions Of getting to
Acacia in the shortest possible time.
For there he had every reason to
believe that he would find No. 6

so until he flashed around the bend
and found the red board set against
him and a few hundred yards beyond
a train looming up at him. Engine
and baggage car on the siding, but
passenger cars still on the main line.
There was not time for much
thinking. but Roger knew he could
never get the entire train in the clear.
Two or three coaches, maybe, but
there would still be more than a
half dozen cars filled with human
beings that in a moment would be in
the path of the oncoming train.
Eunice would be among them. He
wanted to put something between
Eunice and the engine of destruction.
That was why he was throwing over
the reverse lever-was backing the
train and engine back onto the main
line-hoping to get out there in time
to take the bump and prevent No. S
| from plowing broadside into the
| coaches.
HE DID not hear Hogan shouting
to him to jump. All he could see
was the approaching No. S with its
engines wheels going around in re-
verse, but still coming forward at
terrific speed. The engines met head on
Modern steel coaches were able
to stand the jolt without serious in
jury to passengers. The two engines
were practically reduced to scrap iron
and the crews seriously injured.
1t was days later that the train
master went over to the hospital
with Eunice and told Roger:
The superintendent says to give
you an engine-he's changed his mind
about your being too young for the
responsibility"

Hogan was looking back for the
conductors signal as he replied:
Wen make the hill-that is If
Roger keeps his mind on feeding oil
into this teakettle. The way he and
your niece were just talking so seriously
before she got aboard-well, his mind
may be back in the coach while his
body is riding in the cab
DO the best you can with him"
And with the parting words, the
trainmaster went back to the coaches
and climbed aboard as the train
pulled out.
SIX years as f1reman-and still
- another year before promotion.
Roger wondered how long Eunice
would wait. 1t was not that he did
not make good wages at his present
job but there were his mother and
two young sisters to support. No
doubt he should consider himself
lucky to have regular run pulling
the finest train on the system; go
ing out one day on No. 6 and back
the next on No. S.
Right on time they were when
they stopped at the Whalen red board.
After Hogan and the conductor signed
for the order, the operator told them:
mo. S is going to be laid out bit
more. They are running IS minutes
late now, and by holding them at
Mention for your meet, instead OF the
regular meeting point OF Acacia, 1t
will hold them up more"
They would likely of held us at
Acacia, il it wasn't for the G. M.
and his car on our tail end. That's
why we get the right of way" That
was the opinion expressed by the con-
ductor.
WE TAKE the siding" remarked
Hogan as they walked up to-
ward the engine And if they are
not already there and have the switch
open for us, you had better speed
your head brakeman up to the switch" "
"Oh, Chambers has game leg. Let
Roger get the switch" The conductor
spoke carelessly.
But Hogan was doing some serious
thinking as they were again rolling
up the gentle grade between the
orange groves. He told Roger:
Garry, on No. S, has orders to
meet us at Acacia until he gets his
new orders at Mention. I wonder if
that fool dispatcher knows the track
enters Mention on curve and with
a freight car on the house track it is
impossible for No. to see the red
board until he is right on top of it"
Perhaps the operator will run up
around the curve with a flag" Roger
was wondering If Eunice would come
up to the engine at the division point.

Once Attempted Suicide
Rome Recalls "AdVenturess'

ROME, March 10 G.N.S0.
Nine. Madeleine de Fontagne, who
shot Count Charles de Chambrun
in Paris, was described in authori-
tative circles here today as an "ad-
ventures" who sought to embroil
a Thigh Fascist parsonage" here in
a love affair-and failed.
It was recalled the beautiful
French woman once attempted to
kill herself while living in Rome as
a newspaper writer.
Unable to reach the object of her
affections, she tried to engineer
frequent meetings with him
through the French Embassy here.
She confided the. name Of the
man involved to Count de Cham
brun while he was in Rome as
French ambassador, according to
authoritative sources.
Audience With Duce
Sufficient pressure was eventu-
ally brought to bear by Madame de
Fontagne through her acquain-
tance with the former French for
eign minister, Paul Boncour, and
other highly-placed French states
men to obtain an audience with
Premier MuSSolini.
The premier courteouSly per-
mitted her to write one or two ar
ticleS about faSciSm,
Unable to involve the person
with whom she had become infatu-
ated, Madame de Fontagne, it was
asserted here, turned her wiles"
upon lesser, but very important,
member of the fascist hierarchy.
Again she was unsuccessful.
According to persons who knew
her in Rome, this brought on a
persecution complex" which even
tually led her to attempt suicide
by taking drugs.
Attendants and others at the
fashionable Hotel Quirinale, where
she resided, said Madame de Fon-
tague appeared definitely de-
mented."
Realizing the possible repercus-
sionS her presence here might
cause, officials repeatedly asked
her to leave the country.
AcquaintanceS here said she ar
rived at the, Hotel Quirinale early
in January. One midnight she took
two walls of a potent sleeping
draught. At 10 o'clock the next
morning the telephone in her suite
rang. Insufficiently overcome by
the drug, Madame de Fontague
awakened, answered the phone and
told a friend to call her again
later.
She went to the mirror and saw
her face congested and beginning
to blacken. She then took third
vial of the drug. Later, alarmed
friends had hotel attendants force
open the door of her room. She
was rushed to a hospital and re-
vived.

attorney said today.
"It's too late now" to keep the
case from going to trial, Rene
Doriot, the brunette Divorces
lawyer said.
Efforts were made to hush the
sensational case and avoid EN-.
barraSSment to the head of a
foreign state, the lawyer indicated,
but the cat was already out of
the bag" The lawyer said:
"Mme. de FOntagne's story is
true, in my opinion, and it is
significant that no denials have
come from Count de Chambrun.
"Her charge that the count,
when he was French ambassa-
dor to Rome, provoked MuSSO-
lini'S ill-will toward her will be
the sole basis for defense"
