THE ENGINEER'S STORY, Business had brought me to the little town of D , among the New Hamp shire bills, and bore, much against my m i:l, I was detained for saveral days, while waiting for instructions from my employ ers. The nearest jerioJical store was twelve miles away, and, without books or papers, time hung heavy on my hanils. The only break in my monotonous life was the arrival of the trains twice a day, and in the dead calm of my existence this little ripple of excitement became as much to mo as the opera under more fa vorable circumstances. It was while lounging upon the platform that I became acquainted with George Seaforth, engin eer on the B. C. & M. Raiload. He was a man about thirty-five- years of age. Not what would be called an edacated man, but sensible nd clear-Leaded. His home was in Concord, .where ho had a wife.and two children. He ran from Con cord to D , and for two hours, wLile waiting for the "down train," he was in D . Tho acquaintance, at first begun to while away an iJio hour, on my part, at least, grew to a strong Miing, and to-day there is no "one among my acquaintances for, w host I fel -graer resj eet and es teem than for Geurge Se&k rih. He had been on the cars since ho was sixteen, first as train-boy, then as brake- man, fireman, and fr the last ten years as engineer. "You must have had eome strange ad ventures in that time," I said one day, as j we sat upon the platform of the little sta tion, waiting for the train. "Strange adventures!" be repeated, taking his pipe from his mouth, and look ing meditatively acoss the green fieldp. "Strange adventures 1 You may well say that, sir. We train men are always having anventures." "Suppose you tell me some of them," I suggested. "Well," looking at his watch, "as there is plenty ef time, I don't mind telliDg you of one queer one I had six years ago, come fall, though I don't often speak of it ; for you Beo when a man's been face to face with death, he can't talk of it very well." I settled myself on the rough bencli that did duty as a chair, as comfor ably as I could, took a fresh cigar, and he be gan. "It happened in this way. I was run ning the old Lion from Leo to Fairtown. If you know anything about Now Eng land, you know that September's a great month for fairs, and this particular Sep tember was no exception to the general rule. We had lots of extra work to do, but, as we had extra pay, there was no grumbling. It was toward the last of the month that the lair at M. came off. Two or three extras were put on, timed so as to run between the regular trains. Jim Turner fired for me then. Jim was as good a fellow as ever lived, but wi h one fault he would go off on 'a time' once in a while. He didn't do it very of ten, and as he'd do more work than any other man on. the road, the company kept him. But Jim had been pretty sober lately. I believe he hadn't drunk any thing for as much as six months; so I kind tf got out of the habit of watching bim, and he went and camo pretty much as be chose. "Well, we got along all right this time, till a'most night we stopped at D for wood and water. While we were waiting, March, the depot-master, came along, and says he: 'Seafortb, I want you to do me a favor.' " 'What is itf" says I, for March and I were pretty good friends. " Weiy eays he, 'there's a young wom an here who wants to ' go to Fairtown, and she hasn't a cent of money. Sue came here to get work, and she's lost her pocket-book, and hasn't any way to pet back home. . I don't feel at liberty to pass her oyer the road (they'd been making a row about free passes) , and she ant the kind you'd, feel like offering money tcC So I thought may be you'd let her tide on the engine.' : - "Well, t -didn't like to refuse March, for, as I said before, he and I were good friends, and he bad done me many a good turn ; but I must say the idea of having a woman in the cab all the way to ' Fair town wa'n't very pleasant, and I said to to March, but he was bound to have her go, and said so much, that I finally t id him to bring her along. She came oat upon the platform, a little, pale faced thing, who looked at me with her great, frightened eyes, as though I was a tear, and would eat her up as soon as we left the station. March introduced her a Miss Lord, and seemed to expect me to say something to make her feel at home, but I was all out of sorts, and I only nod ded in a surly sort of way. I saw the testis eome inta-ier yes, and you'd "tetter believe I felt kind of mean, but I didn't say anything,, and March helped her on the tngioe. "I saw her put out a little white hand, not much bigger'n a-child's, and lay it -on his arm, as she said : , " God bless you,' Mr March.' "And then I went off to look for Jim, who was late. "I found him the other side of the de pot, wiih a two-gallon can of kerosene in his hand. 'You see,' he said, as I asked rather sharply where he'd been. I c'n git this a good deal cheaper here than at Fairtown, an' my wife thinks it's a sight better, too.' " 'Well, come along,' I said, 'for we're two minutes behind time now.' "When we got back to the engine March had gone, and Miss Lord sat there alone. Jim started, but I said : " 'This young woman's going to ride on the engine to Fairtown. She is a friend of Mr. March. So he put down his kerosene, and took his place on the cab. "I heard the conductor's 'All aboard,' and then we were off. - "I was busy with levers and valves, for, a man who drives a train holds the lives of hundreds on his hand, and one careless motion may send them all into eternity. So yon see I hadn't much lime to think of anything but my machine, but I notic ed that Jim was pretty talkative. At first I thought it was because we had a woman aboard, but by and by I began to suspect it was something worse than that. His voice grew thick aad his movements un certain, and at hist I eould no longer hide from myself'the -fact thatvhefiitad been drinking. Still I anticipated no trouble We were already more tkan half way to Fairtown, and I thought he would keep up till we got there, "At A the station master handed the conductor a telegram. He read it, and then handed it to me. It ordered us to go on to N-: to meet the special. I had expected to stop at the next station, and N was ten miles beyond, but orders are orders and must be obeyed. So I told Jim to pile on the wood, and I put on all the steam I dared, and we went spinning over the road at a rate that mnst have astonished the passngers. "We had gone a little more than half: way, and I was beginning to think we might make the distance without much trouble, when Jim sat right down on the floor of the cab, and began to whimper. " 'Got up, you fool, and go to work,' I cried. " 'I can't,' he whimpered. 'I'm tired, an' dibs' go ter sleep.' " 'Get up, you rascal !' I shouted. 'Don't you know w've got te get to N in ten minutes, or meej the special train t " 'I can't help it, let ther ol' train come. I tell ye I'm tired. Now, look here Sea forth,' nodding his head with drunken gravity. 'You're workin' too hard. Why, man, you won't live out half your dys, if you don't take some rest, I tell ye whot 't is you'd better take things tasy. I'm goin' to, any way.' "And he laid down on the floor of the cab, and shut his eyes, muttering : "Take it easy, easy Jim '11 take it easy.' "I suppose I must have acted like a wild man, for I knew that before I could let the conductor know the fix that we were in, and get help, it would be too late to save the train, and I'm afraid I used some pretty strong words, as a man is apt to when he gets in a tight place. Not that the words help him out of it. I suppose they only let off some of the extra steam, and make him think quicker, i So I stormed away there, all the time trying to do my work and Jim's, and knowing every moment that we were losing ground. The steam was going down, and the engine slowing up, spite of all I could do. "I tell you," and he passed his band o'er his forehead, makes the sweat start on me now, when I think of that run. It seems to me . that I Jived a. .life time iu those few minutes'. ; It's an awful thing to have so many lives depending on yon. In the cars behind me were ' hun dreds of ' human ' Deirigs and the other train had hundreds more, and only a step between them and eternity. -All this time, the girl March had cput on the en gine had been sitting perfectly still, watch ing everything that went on," and. now, when everything seemed lost, she threw off her shwl, and stepped into Jim's place, saying quietly : " 'IU take that man's place, Mr. Sea fortV ' " " front"1 and I looked at the slight, almost girlish, figure in astonishment, v " 'Yes," she said. 'I am stronger than Hook, and 've been watching the man, so 1 know I can do the work.' It was a forlorn tope, but oar only one, and, after one brief moment of hesitation, I said: ' " 'Very well, yon can but try, and if you fail;- "I did not finish the sentence, for at the thought of failure, the terrible pietnre of mangled, bleeding bodies, crashed oat of all semblance of humanity, rose before me, and I turned away with a groan. A slight shudder passed over the girl, and g!ns seemed to grow paler, bet, wkKotflT a werd she took her place, throwing on the wood as I directed, and doing eo well, that, spite of my anxiety, I couM not but notice the dexterity with which she han dled heavy sticks. The strength of half a dozen men seemed concentrated in her slender arms, but spite of htr efforts, we hardly seemed to gain ground. "I looked at my watch, and fairly groaned aloud as I saw that it wanted feu minutes of six, and at six we were ex pected to pass the extra at N . There was no time to look back, and no chance to stop till we reached N -. There was nothing else for us to do but to go straight on, though I felt that wo were going to destruction. As the hands of the watch crept round, telling off the min ute!, I watched them with a sort of fas ciaation, feeling as though I were turning to stone. Well, if youll believe me, that girl, instead of making a row, as most women would have done, never said a tingle word, though she seemed to know just how things were going, but, after one look at my face and I suppose I must have looked pretty bad alinest by inspi ration it seemed to me, she did one of those things a mam would never have thought of. Bight behind her was the oil can Jim had got at D . With a steady hand she lifted the heavy can, and poured half its contents on the wood, then the threw the wood upon the fire, and it blazed up with a quick, fierce heat, that sent the engine flying over the rails at a rate that fairly made one dizzy. Still she piled on the oiled wood, and still we went on faster and faster. The train rocked from side to side, and the engine seemed hardly to touch the rails. I looked at my watch, and then anxiously in the direc- ti jd of N It wanted three minutes to six. Ob, if there could bo some delay, fometbing to make the other train even one minute late. But no, away in the distance I could see a faint line of smoke euzning nearer ami nearer. The girl saw it too, and reached for the oil can. " 'It's of no use,' I said. 'We can't get there, and we've all the steam we can safely carry now.' " 'Are you sure it won't bear any more?' she asked anniouly. ''I shook my head. " 'I'm not afraid,' I said. " 'Bat is it possible that it m.iy V she asked again. . " 'Yes, possible, but not probable,' I answered. "She asked the questions in a calm, even voice and I think I answered iu much the same tone, for, now that the danger I had feared was really upon us, I seemed to have lost all fear, and I watched the Hue of smoke nearing us eo fast with a sort of vague wonder as to what the engineer of he other train would do when he saw us coming, too late to save his train. I was roused from this sort of supor into which I seemed iu danger of falling, by seeing the girl again reach for the oil can. I shook my head. "'It won't do,' I saiJ. 'It may be death.' " 'Bat,' she said, 'it is de ath if I don't.' "I nodded, and, without a word, she poured the remainder of the oil upon the wood, and- threw it into the fire. We were close to the station now, and I could see people running across the plat form, and.hear the women scream as they saw our danger ; for right in front of ns was the extra, ao near thai it seemed as if nothing but a miracle could save ns. 1 looked at' Miss Loid. With that last ef fort her strength seemed to leave her, and she sank upon the seat, covering her lace with her hands, wailing for the death that; seemed So near. "There was a moment of awful sus pense, and then we were safe upon the side track, the extra train went thunder ing by, so near that scarcely an inch sep erated the engine from the hindmost car. The brakes were put on, and the long line of cars caine to a stand-still just beyond the station, and then slowly ran back to where the crowd of alarmed and curious men stood watching us. At. the shrill sound of escaping steam, Miss Lord raised her fiead, and looked anxiously around, then seeming to realize that we were safe, she tried to say something, bnt the words died-away in a murmur, and the next mo ment she fell on the floor of the cab like a dead woman. But before I could call any one to help her, for I was pretty well shaken myself, one of the directors, who was on the train, came along in a fearful passion. lie wanted to know what I meant by running the risk that 1 had done. ' . " 'jJavent yon any brains f and don't yon 'care any more for human' life than a donkey V he blustered. "I banded him the telegram I had re ceived at A , and which, fortunately for myself, I had pat into my pocket, and then I pointed to the floor of .the, cab, where Jim lay in a drunken 'sleep, and Miss Lord in a dead faint, and I toldthe story as well as I could. I tell yon there was pretty lively times there for 'ft few minutes. The passengers found out that something was the matter, and they came pouring out of the cars, d crowded round the engine, and I had to tell nry story over to them. Well, some of the men carried Jim off to the - station, and dwnped on Jh4 room cars, and fussed over as though she was lone of the greatest ladies ia the land ; and, before she came to herself enough to sit up, there was a purse made up tor her, of more dollars than she ever had in her life, and that wa'n't all, for Mr. Eunals the director that was aboard the train found that she knew something of teleg raphy, and pot her in the office, at C for awhile, and in a few months gave her a steady job. So you see it wa'n't a bad ride for her, after all." "But what became of her"" I asked. "Is she still in the office t" "Oh, bless you, no, sir. She did what mi st all the women do, sooner or later g t married." "Well," said I, "such a woman de serves a good husband; I hope she got one." "Well, I don't know pretty middling, Igness," and then he nodced, with a laugh ; She seems to be satisfied, so I suppose there's no occasion for any one else to find fault." Just then there there was a whistle, and the down train came into view, and, pat ting his pipe in his pocket, the -engineer made ready for his homeward trip, saying, with a sly smile, as he sprang on the en gine and said good-bye : "If ever you come to Concord I shall be glad to see you, and you can ask my wife what she thinks of the husband Miss Lord got."
