THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEER.
Be Tells a Story of Love and Adventor
Which Sounds "Like a Book.
A locomotive engineer should be one of
. the most truthful of men. That's why this
little story of a southern engineer should
be believed implicitly, -
'You may talk as you please about red
headed women," he was saying to a group
of listeners, among whom was a Star re
porter, "but a redheaded woman saved my
life and established a home for herself all'
at once. I was 25 then and was running
a freight on 1$e C. and O. in the West Vir
ginia mountains, where it took talent to
run an enigno. My division ended at Hln
ton, and there was a redheaded girl living
six miles to the cast, where there was a
- siding near a big cut and fill, and it was a
bad place, as the road was new. .
'The girl s name was Maggie Conroy,
and she had the reddest head I ever saw
on a human being's shoulders outside of a
torchlight procession. But I didn't care
for that and I did care for Maggie. One
sunshiny day I was coming down track
with a stock train loaded with extra nne;
cattle and sheep, and I bad in the caboose
three of the owners. It bad been raining
and washouts were looked for, but I hadn't
seen any, and was bowling along at a good
speed when all of a sudden, at the curve, I
thought I saw a red light rising just over
the track. It seemed to shine like a blaze
in the track, and be'fore I took time for a
thought I had shut off the steam, whistled
down the brakes and was doing my best to
stop.
'Right then my "fireman gave me the
ha ha in a way to chill the blood in the
veins of a man who can't stand teasing,
and I took a look forward and found that
the red light I thought I saw was only
Maggie's head of red hair sticking up in
advance as she pulled herself np the steep
embankment to get on to the track.
"With an oath I opened everything wide,
but as I did bo Maggie threw np her hands
and dropped in a dead faint by the track,
and I stopped off everything again, for I
felt sure that something was wroog I
had -half an hour or so leeway between
trains, and I shook Maggie up as quickly
as I could to find out what was the matter.
She came around mighty soon, because she
had only fainted from overexertion, and
she told me how a big bowlder had fallen
on the track in a curve near her house that
I -wouldn't havo seen till it was too late to
stop for, and she had run across the spur
of the mountain to top me in time if she
could.
"That's what she was trying to do when
her red head shone like a danger signal
and stopped' me. Later the owners of the
" stock cave her money enough to buy a nice
little house at Hinton and six months later
I moved in. We've got the house yet, but
we don't livo in it," concluded the engi
neer, "for it wasn'tibig enough for a fam
ily of six children, and not a redheaded
one in the lot. " Washington Star.

- A grave faced, broad shouldered young
Englishman was pacing the deck of an At
lantic liner bound for New York, - : '
He was big and prosperous looking.
Perhaps the heavy chinchilla overcoat with
high collar -- turned up about his ears to
protect him from the Btlff, salt scented
breeze lent him this air of prosperity. His
blue eyes looked out steadfastly, a little,
sternly maybe, at the empty deck and the
gray waste of waters. r The other passen
gers were singing and dancing in the cab
in, but George Reynolds found the society
of the lowering sky and the lonely stretch
of waters more to his taste.
The tinkle of a musical instrument fell
npon his ear. Was it the piano in the cab
in speeding the feet of the dancers? Not
that. The sound was wild and plaintive
and in keeping with the storm threatening
day; The Englishman followed the strange
music to its source. ' Down among the
steerage passengers a young girl was
thrumming a broken tambourine bedeck
ed with soiled ribbons, j She sat a little
apart from the rest, her head bent over the
instrument, whioh sobbed and sang alter
nately beneath her touch, ; -
A bent, witchlike crone saw the atten
tive attitude of the English , intruder.
"Play something gay for the gentleman,
Felice," she whispered. - ;
The girl lifted an oval face of dark per
fection, swept a laughing glance from her
slumbrous black eyes at the young man,
and the wailing strain changed to a bar
baric song of adventure and prowess, of
beauty and love. She sang, too, in a low
subtle voice with weird notes in it. The
Englishman did not understand the words, -but
the mystic language of youth and hope
and waiting love was tantalizingly intel
ligible. . ! - ' ;
He looked long at the dark, birdlike
head, the slim, nervous, brown fingers, the
tawdry gypsy finery and listened to the
velvety contralto voice. He-was drunk with
rapture. . ' i .. . " t
" Ab1v But you do not know the lan
guage, of the hills and the rivers and the
wooda Con: e with mo and learn them,
my own. The smoke of this great city sti
fles me. Its roar makes me deaf.; v
"At night, when you sleep, I push aside
the curtains that I may see the moon, and
she talks to nfe mysteriously, and I think
I am 1 in a camp ia the mountain road
where I smell the pine trees arid where the
falling streaii sings to me. Oh, dear one,
I must go or I die." j . .-' .'
George Reynolds listened sadly to the
words of his gypsy wife. He had married
her; when they reached New York. They
lived in a pretty suburban cottage, and he
was engaged in a small but thriving busi
ness in the city. His dream of a wife and"
.home had been realized. ! That of a compe
tency had almost taken form. ; The gypsy
girl was affectionate. She 1 was true, but
the barbarous instincts of her ancestors
could not be wholly crushed. f j
Gifts and j caresses no longer diverted
her. She wept on his shoulders each even
ing when he came home. She craved the
wild freedom of her girlhood life. She
could not live without it. j i
"You are used to the factory, and the
shop, and the 'crowded street," she' said,
"but they kill me. I must go, but will not
you go, too, my husband?"
He lifted her arms gently from about
his neck and went out into the street. For
hours he walked about aimlessly. He
could not restrain her longing for her old,
wandering life. He might be a cruel jail
er, but then she would learn to hate him.
It would be worse than death to see -her
turn from him in fearT But the business
and the home! All the instincts of his
conservative .ancestors in trade rose in re
bellion against giving them up. When he
unlocked the door and stepped into the
little parlor, he had not decided.
His wife had thrown herself upon the
sofa in a passion of tears. 1 Childlike, she
had cried herself to sleep.' She sighed and
her lips trembled as her sturdy, troubled
husband looked down npon her. ' - r-
The struggle was over. ! '
' He kissed her forehead.
"I will give tip all for you, Felice," he
said. :
"The gypsy king is dead," said the
dwellers in . south San Francisco to each
other, and they went to the camp to view
the remains. ,- "; '
He lay in a coffin that looked strangely
put of place in the small tent. It was as
elegant as that in which the rich factory
owner had been buried the week before.
His features: were calm and strong, and
his limbs must have been very powerful
in life. . His gray hair had still some gold
en threads in it. His skin was as fair as
an infant's, ' "He is a white man," whis-
pered the curiosity seekers and stole away
to gossip about it. : j
A small, dark woman, pretty still, al
though past her prime, wept broken heart
cdly over the coffin. "Come away, mother,
you must rest," said a tall young man
who stood beside her. "He has blue eyes,"
whispered a girl who was peeping into the
tent. " Whoever heard of a blue eyed
gypsy?" ' ' '. I
The funeral service was read next day
by an Episcopal clergyman in robes.
"George Reynolds was an honest man,"
he said, "a devoted husband and father."
It was true,' Was his sacrifice too great?
Is the motto, "Alitor love and the world
well lost more ignoble than "All for the
world and love well lost?" :

and very peaceful. Ada Patterson in StL

His Reasons.
"Well," remarked Mr. Murray Hill, aft-'
or the boy s at the club had expressed them
selves in favor of the abolition of the high
theater Eat, "I am in favor' of the move
ment, but not for the reasons you name,
for I am tall enough to see over the tops of
most theater hats when.; I am sitting
down." ; , ;
"What ore your reasons, then?" one of
them asked. I 1 1 i ; I
"My reasons are purely monetary."
"State them." I . ' . i
' "They run something like this: If ladies
do notwear hats at theaters, they will be
deprived of ono of the reasons for purchas
ing a new hat every few weeks. Every hat
which my wife does not buy means the
price of that hat saved to me. Have some
cigars, gentlemen?" Pittsburg Chronicle
Telegraph. : ' ; i '
He Means Business. ! -
"What do you mean, sir," roared ithe
irate father, "by bringing your trunk to
my house and ordering a room?" I
"I'm adopted as one of the family,"
coolly answered the young man. "Your
daughter said she would be a sister to me."

- -. On Common Ground.
They were trying the case for the fourth
time. Three times had the jury disagreed,
and neither judge nor counsel believed that
the present occupants of the box would
come to any understanding. The jury filed
out, and the parties interested in the case
prepared themselves for a long wait. What
was their surprise when, ten minutes after'
retiring, the jury signified their readiness
to announce a verdict. : When the verdict
had been eiven and the excitement some
what quieted down, the judge turned to
the Jury. , i :.
-"gentlemen," he remarked, "this may
be an unprecedented act on m part; but I
want to express to you my appreciation of
the willingness with which you came to an
agreement. When I remember that three
previous juries spent at least six days in
determining that they couldn't harmonize,
the promptness with which you agreed
stands 'out in inost agreeable contrast. "
"We didn't have any trouble about agree
ing," said the smiling foreman, and his
11 confreres smiled with him, "as soon as
we had established one point, your honor."
"And what point was that?" inquired
the judge. '.; i j

fV XtoeoUeetloa of Old Times la Storkrlll -"
Center, TU ..:
- "In Broadway the other dayr" said Colo
nel Calliper, "I met my -old friend Co
lumbus Slilbltlingbyof Storkville Center,
Vt. - Years ago Mr. Slilbltlingby kept a
tin store in Storkville Center, and made
pretty much all the tinware that was used
for miles around. -It was in thiTbusiness,
in fact, that he mid the foundation of his
present very comfortable fortune, and it
was while ; he was thus engaged that he
turned to profitable account a power that
so far as I know had never been similarly
employed. . . - " . ". -
"About a mile and three-quarters out of
Starkville Center there was then a piece of
swampy, land that was famous all around
that region for its mosquitoes. Maybe there
never were any mosquitoes that were fierc
er, or more tenacious in attack, or that had
sharper and stronger drills. In those days
tin working machinery . had not been
brought to' its present admirable stage of
perfection. The making, for instance, of
such things as colanders and other strain
ers, things full of holes, was a far more
difficult and laborious work than now, and
tne remarkable thing that Mr. Slilbltling
by did was to utilize the boring power of
the mosquitoes to drill the holes in these
strainers.
"Ho used to take tin blanks and mark
the holes on them from a pattern; and then
touch each of the spots with something
known only to himself that was a great
attraction to the mosquitoes, and when he
had got a lot of the blanks marked he
would take them out to the. swamp and
lay them down in the mud. It wouldn't
be a minute before every spot on every
plate would have a mosquito drilling at it,
and onco started a mosquito would rarely
let np. With the mosquito's well known
pertinacity it would keep right on boring
until it had bored through into the mud
below. ; -
"In the morning Mr. Slilbltlingby would
gather up the blanks, or strainers -as they
were then and take them back to the shop
and finish them up. There'd be now and
then a hole: not bored quite through, and
occasionally one that had to be made a lit
tle bigger, but even with this work re
maining to be done upon them the mos
quito bored strainers could be produced
far cheaper than those made entirely by
hand. :
"Profitable as this method was for a
time, however, the time came when it was
no longer profitable, when machine made
strainers couldbe made even cheaper yet,
and thereafter Mr. Slilbitlingby supplied
his customers with modem strainers only.
But there are still in use in Storkville Cen
ter some of Slilbitlingby 's mosquito bored,
hand finished colanders, distinguished by
the slight variations in diameter of the
'holes arid soinewilat irregular spacing. ' '
