In a little Ohio town near Toledo lives an 18-ycar-old boy who has been an invalid for several years. His parentis' house is near the New York Centml , railroad tracks, and one of the lad's diversions is watching the bijf limilcd passenger trains go speeding by. One day, about a year ago, an engineer saw the boy'g cot on the sur porch and inquired about him when he reached the town'.'! station. Learning that the boy was kept to his bed by ill ness, the engineer decided to do a little something to cheer him up. So, thercafler, every night when his train passed the boy's house, the engineer would blow his whistle four times. The boy quickly discovered that this signal was a greeting to him, and he responded by blinking the light in his bedroom four times. That has kept up for a year now. Every night that the engineer speeds by he sounds his sig nal, and the boy responds by flashing his light. If the boy is feeling worse than usual, and has to drop off to sleep earlier in the evening he sets his alarm clock so that he will fv.vaken in time to hear and respond to the greeting. On Christmas the engineer rent the boy a little present. And a few days later, on his day off, he went to the little town and 'called on him, promising to have all the other engineers on that section of the line toot their whistles for the sick lad when they passed his house. Now all of this, while interest ing and a little bit touching, may not seem especially im portant. Cut it is, just the same. Study it aright and you will get a great deal -of encouragement and hope out of it. , There is a good deal of misery of one kind and another i i this world. Sickness, poverty, failure and disappointment touch every one of us at one time or another. They're pretty hard to live through, sometimes; but the worst thing of is the feeling of loneliness that 10 often accompanies them. We are so constituted that we can stand almost anything except the feeling that the rest of the world is shut off from . us by barriers of indifference and misunderstanding. There are times when the most important thing on earth is an un mistakable hint that kindness and thoughtfulness still ex ist in a world of strangers. That is why the simple, kindly act of this locrmolive engineer is worth reading about. What he did wasn't much, perhaps but it meant a great deal to that bed-ridden youngster, lonely and depressed. And, though tho rest of us never heard of either of these two people before, it can mean a good deal to us, too. It is just nnn more demonstration that kindness and the willingness lo help someone else to a little happiness aren't no uncommon Js we often think. AS WORLD BY G.
