And what a supcib liairl ! Largo and white, with nails beautifully trim med an polished. " linage of lier profetfiion," was my cynical comment. And how deftly they yielded the spiderlike scissors, on which were en graved the initials "M. .!.!'' But she was finishing now. I be gan to feel nervous, about paying money to such n superb creatine.

''The railroad track walker occupies an Important position of trust," said a conductor to a Star reporter the other day, w hen the train bud been Mopped by a signal, "On bis core depends the safety of every train and of ev 1 v life which passes over his section of the road. The broken plate for whi' li he signalled 11s was a very liltle thing in iUelf, hut had it been neglected our train might havo lieen thrown from the truck and several people killed. "I have been a track walker myself, and would have been one yet but for the fact that I had a friend in the superintendent's office who aided me in getting my present position. The railroad man's motto is 'own a track walker, always a trm k walker.' He goes on duty in the morning, rain op shine, ot live o'clock, or at the same hour in the evening, if he is 011 the night shift, and reiiriius for twelve hours. Ho has a certain section of the truck to cover, and be is reipiired to go over it at the rate of about two miles an hour, lie must look carefully at every foot of the rails, ti-li plates and angle plates and loose hulls. "An experienced man can loll a looso rail at a glam e, and a few blows of his hummer soon sets matters right. His outfit consists of a wrench, n ham mer, n few bolls and -pikes, a lantern if working ut night, 11 ll.ig', ami torpe does.
