Thatold shuntln engtaethatB puffin an snortin like a broken winded old horse could tell a tale, If it wasntt so short o breath. That's the very engine old John Wright need to drive when I was his stoker. Let me see I've been drivln three year eye, it'll be ten year come next September. He was a fine figure of a man, was John. He stood 0 foot 1H in his stockin's, an was broad in tho shoulders too. In bis greasy peaked cap on oily bine Jacket he looked a giant. He was a queer nn. I used to tell him be needed a wife to look after bim. Ha, ha! He always made his tea wi' wa ter out o' th' engine boiler, an when I laughed at him he'd slap me on the back, an say, 'What's good for tbe bone is good for tho rider, Harry.'. He was a rare old sort."- - : ' : "v.-- . "Wag be an old manf" "Oh, no; he'd be 40 odd, I suppose, tout I was a young man of 23, an he seemed old, like, to me. As I've said, be was a bache lor", an, as far as I knew, likely to remain one. There wasn't much of the ladies' man about John. But till waters ran deep, they say, an -John Wright bad his little secret. - "About three mile out o' town, I nsed to notice that he whistled three times and always looked across a couple o' fields a bit farther on, as if he were lookln for some thin. I asked bin) once or twice what it was, but ho edged me off, an changed the subject, so I didn't press it But I kept my eyes open. "It was early winter when I first went on to stoke for John, an, of course, bein a goods train, it was generally gettin on for 8 o'clock at night when we passed this par tio'lar spot, bound for Barnbam, 60 mile away. It's 'up-bank,' as I dare say you know, from here to Longbrldge, eight milo up the line, an we pever got any great speed on T until we'd passed that length, es pecially when we'd a heavy freight. But all I could make out for some months was the dim outline of a cottage that bad an 'up stairs' window with a red blind. Tbe cottage lay a couplo o' fields away. What made me notice the red blind was that, as we passed, the window was always sudden ly lighted up. ; "Aye, an soWas John Wright's face soon as ever be saw it Such a smile an he had a kind face, bad old John an then he'd seem lost a bit, as if he were thinkln o' something as was good to think about. - "I couldn't make it out, for you see I looked on John as a musty, crusty old bachelor, for all he were such a good sort. But the light nights let the secret out.. It were no use of his keepin his tongue tied then; for there, in th' little front garden, across them two little fields, was a pink frock, an a sunbonnet an a little hand flut terin a bit Of a bankychlef as we passed every night, as true as the clock. "I chaffed John rarely about it, first time I saw it, an be blushed be did In deed, sir! Though his face was grimy on the top and copper color under that, I'll swear he blnshed. But he looked pleased an proud, for, by that time, we'd grown such thick friends that I'm sure be didn't mind me knowin "Then, bit by bit, it all came out. John and her father, who used to be pointsman at Chubb junction, half a mile farther up the line than the cottage, had been lads together. John bad gone up for a 'camp' every Sunday for many a year. He'd known Mary Mathers since ebe was born, an when she was a little lass he'd nursed her on his knee, an told her he'd wait for her. I dare say be meant It In fun at the time, but, as she grew up, he knew, he liked to be where she was better than any where else in the world. That's how be put it, sir. Then . Tom Mathers, her fa ther, fell ill, an I learnt aftecward, an I guessed even then, that John Wright made his wages keep four instead of one. Mary's father never worked again. He was on his back for 18 months, an then he died. "An then, you may be sure, John was a father to the fatherless, on a husband to the widow as far as lookln after 'em went, at any rate only he wanted to be a husband to tbe daughter, Mary. Of course, I learnt this bit by bit, an I can't help flllin in things as come to my ears years after, for John was never tbe man to blow bis own trumpet. Ha, bal He was well content wl' tbe steam whistle especially when passing Railway cottage. iPoor John I j"Well, to cut a long story short, Mary seeniod to make no objection.. Why should shef She'd never met anybody she liked better, und a finer fellow than John Wright never walked. He got her to promise to light the lamp. In the room wi' the red blind on dark nights as be passed on his engine, an to give him a wave of her hand on light nights, for he paid it was some thin to be goin on with like. He'd a touch a' sentiment in him, bad John, aye, he bad that. "One Saturday ntgbt he says, 'Harry, you'd better walk o'er wi' me tomorrow. ' j ; " 'Walk o'er wt you, I says. 'Wheref i " 'Why, to Mrs. Mathers,' to be sure. I'd like you to know my Mary. An then you can tell me what yon think o' my sweetheart.' An as he said it that sweet, far. off look came in his face, an I knew he loved that lass as few lasses are loved. , - i "Well, I went, an I wished at the time I'd staid away. It was love at first sight wr me, an l icit I eEould never, never be the same again. God forgl' me, but after that Snnday I felt at times I hated John Wright When she stood at the stile, at the crossing midway between the cottage an the signal box as she did every evenin from tbe very doy I went wi John an waved ber hand to him, bashfullike, an he threw her a clumsy kiss, I felt I could ha' knocked him off the engine. ) 'I fought again M an, you must un derstand, I didn't feel that -way all the time, for we were good friends, an no one would have seen a difference. ' But when' he talked of her in his quiet way of bein wed an such like it was like knives In me. " - ) "Then he pressed me to go again an spend a Sunday at the cottage. I put him bff, but 4e wouldn't take 'no' for an an swer, So, whether for fear of hurtin his feellns or because I couldn't keep away, I can't say, but I yielded an went After that I went several times, au each time I iot deeper an deeper in love with John's sweetheart, aye, an what seemed worse, I eouldn't help knowtn that Mary was trou bled the same way. But I will say this, I never tried to make Mary love me, an nev er a word of love passed between us, but sometimes I thought I saw trouble In John's eyes, an then I'd tow to myself to go no more. . ; j "Often enough I'd be on th' front o th' engine, or on th tender, when we passed tbe stile that summer an do as I would, I couldn't help but look to catoh her eye. An I never missed, though ahe waved her hand to old John. - - ; "One evenin, in the early autumn of that year, we were goin at as good a speed as the Incline would let us an just gettin toward tbe cottage. John had sent me round to th' front o' th' engine with my oil can, an I couldn't help lookln ahead to see if Mary was standin waiting at the stile. Yes, she was there as usual, right In front of us, for the line curved to the right just at the stile, an was hidden from view behind a little wood. I could see her print dress, an the same white linen bon net she wore when I first saw her In the garden on that spring evenin. Oh, how my heart went out to her, an how that old wicked feelln toward John rushed through me an made my nerves tingle from head to foot , . - ' "Mary had ber back toward us a very unusual thing an I remember wonderin y&Ji Then the usual three whistles sound- pi how to accomplish the rtj least labor, time and money, has been solved, Washing makes mind a woman's work light sets her at rest keeps her. purse closed.

VALUABLE TIPS WANT -TO FOR WOMEN WHO BE HEALTHY. :: Cbe Importance of Eating Only bt Bight Kind of Food Hpw Athletes Are Train V: ed The Bad Effects of Ineorrect Way of Standing. " , " Delicate women are out of date. There was a time when it was , considered fash ionable for a woman to faint frequently, grow hysterical over trifles, and have at least one chronic ailment. ; Today such a woman, instead of being cuddled and made much of, is passed hurriedly by with a word, not of sympathy, but rather of scornful pity, . She is refered to as "Poor thing!" And If there is one thing that will make a woman cast off her invalid ways it is that phrase. : Women nowadays are turning back to the ways of the Spartan girls, who believed that the physical training of the sexes shouldbe Identical-and practiced what they preached. They were taught to run, to leap, to cast the javelin, to play ball and to wrestle. Their Athenian sisters did nothing of the sort and were not compara bla to the Spartan girls. Onoe an. Atheni an said to tbe wife of Leonidas: " -" " .'fYou Spartans are tbe women who rule men." ; ' j .... .rj' "tee," she answered, "and we are the only women who bring forth men." There is a lesson in this retort for all womankind. American women, be it said to their credit, are beginning to apply it. Old women, young women and schoolgirls are giving more attention than ever before to physical culture. Three women were discussing tbe general Interest in physical training for women, in a restaurant not long ago. It was one of those little places where a man feels himself conspicuous, for it -was patronized almost exclusively try women shoppers. r'Ono of - tho talkers was " white haired, another; was middle aged,, and the third was an athletid looking gtrlJ 'just out of her teens. Tbe middle aged woman turned out to be a teacher of phys- j leal culture, and she talked in such a clear, j practical way that pretty soon all the wo-; men at tbe nearby tables were listening to the conversation of the trio. It all started this way: ' ' -" - - ' '- - ' , "I wouldn't order chocolate eclairs if I were you," said the middle aged woman. J "Why not?" asked the girl. "I'm not in training now. As long as I was on tbe basket ball team at Yassar I wouldn't have dreamed of giving such an order, but I'm a graduate now, and .chocolate eclairs are so good." t !'They aren't good tor you, insisted the middle aged woman. "You told me your-l 6elf that you were never in such perfect health as when you were in training and confined yourself to nutritious, wholesome food." ' - ' "That's so," acquiesced the girl meek ly, but without countermanding ber order. "Physical ! culture teachers as a rule make three mistakes,'!' continued the mid dle cgod woman, salting ber rare roast beef vigorously by way of emphasis. "I think the first three questions they should put to. a pupil are : What do you eat for breakfast, luncheon, dinner and between meals? Bow do you sit, and bow do you stand?" "Why, what funny questions !" exclaim ed the girl digging into the middle of eclair No. 1. I !:' "Mot at all, " answered the physical eul- turist. "Standing is a lost art, and as for sitting, so far In the history of this world, of ours it bas never become an art. When it oomes to eating well, I feel almost hopeless about eating. I fear that women will never learn to eat." : "What queer notions you do have," com mented the girL ordering a double portion of ice cream. "Vanilla and chocolate mixed, if you please. I'm sure I have a good, healthy appetite," she went on, "and I think I not only know how to eat, but enjoy it." " ; "Yes, I won't dispute that," replied the middle aged woman,' "out you Insult that appetite, which is the craving of a strong. healthy stomach, by giving it eclairs and ice cream instead of giving it the proper food. Nearly 'all young women do the same thing. Every time you dp that you weaken your muscles, which you tell me you are so anxious to train. You cannot possibly train a muscle unless you nave given it the proper food. Now, I'm not a crank on dietetics, but every teacher of physical culture, every director of a gym nasi urn, every 'master of a swimming school, every instructor in a bicycle acad emy, should pay ,a great deal of attention to what their pupils eat, and try to impress on each pupil the necessity of proper food. "Every boy is anxious to become a Fitz- simmons, and If his instructor in gymnas tics will tell him what food is best for him to take he will have it, or maJce life a burden for his mother. The same is true of a girl. Let the teacher tell a girl that certain things will harden the muscles of ber body, giving her a firm, graceful fig ure, and certan other things will make tbe mnl nf her cheeks firm, which laf nna of the secrets of retaining a pretty com plexion, and she'll confine herself to those things. "Up to this time," the enthusiast con tinued, "girls and women have devoted their attention almost exclusively to the. development oi their arms ana legs. This is a great mistake. Women need, even more than men, to give much attention to the development of their vital organs. The legs and arms work much more easily if the vital organs are well developed. Women should be trained from the time they are out of swaddling clothes to hold tne abdominal muscles tense.' Then we would hear of no such thing as displaced organs." "Oh, It's so interesting," exclaimed the girL-' .' You said something about women not knowing how to stand correctly." "Well, I told the truth," said the en thuslast. "They don't. Watch 'em as they file up to the desk there to pay their checks. At least 25 have been up since we've been sitting here, and not one has stood cor rectly. Look at that stout woman there now, with ner abdomen thrown out and tbe upper part of her body held back. She probably lies awake nights worrying be cause she is losing sight of her waist, and yet her habitual method of standing is just the cause of the trouble. Glance at the- thin, delicate looking woman behind her. The position of ber body Is all wrong, You can . see that her abdominal muscles are thoroughly relaxed. ; So It is with the next in line. The fourth woman thrown nearly all her weight on one side when she stands, and you can see that this bas changed tho shape of one hip. 'Thus it goes. One woman stands so that one shoulder grows higher than the other or ber back gets twiBted, and another becomes lopsided in some other way. A mother or teacher who does not train tho young in trusted to her-care to stand correctly ia guilty of almost a crime. Tbe harm dona tothe outside of the body is nothing oom pared to the injury done to the machinery insiae. jxew xors con. . - Vegetable Diamonds, The alkaloid of Calycanthus glau us, discovered j'and first extraoted by Dr. luecles, may be obtained in crystals -which from their high re fractive power; sparkle very much use diamonds.

' When a Birl "comes ont" anrl mmtw jui me uaiiy routine or tbe schoolroom, sho is very much inclined to give up tak "Jg regular exercise. No doubt she will go for a 20 or 80 mile run on her bike one day when she feels particularly active, but it is more than likely that, in consequence of other attractions, she will not ride again for three or four weeks. The girl who wishes to keep fresh and young in spite Of a round of gayety should cultivate the habit of exercise. It will become 80" essential to her that sbe will not be able to do without it when her girlhood is passed, and consequently her health and he? figure will be preserved in away which would not be possible bad she led an in active life.
