THE RED LIGHT.
TVo years ago I had qualified as stok-
antl, together witn too engineer,
inlr.r. rau the ueniu-Vienna express
itlio Berlin-Falkenberg division. Our
tin left the Central station at 6 :30 in

the eugiueer had to be in the
udhuuse an hour before the departure
the train, aud usually Uuusicr coin

Lch wiuired to be iu the beat pinible
Lition if ' ware to make the re
tired rnu of 91 minutes in the given
Jut). We could not allow ourselves full
jeed until we una passea me siuuuu
kosi-Lichterfelde. Then there were
111 almost 02 miles in a strotch, and
aly at the larger Btat ions through which
wc passed was it necessary to slacken
nflr awed.
i It was Hearing 6, aud still no sign of
3auler. I had oome to the conclusion
iut he was ill or that some accident
WA haout'iied to him. aud was just on
be point of going to the superintendent
ttlie locomotive house and reporting
e case to him when I saw Hausler ap-
koachiug iu considerable haete. fie gave
e a hasty nod aud merely asked if ev
tybiug were ready. Thou he mounted
locomotive aud tried all the valves
' himself: but. while at othor times he
tide this most important inspection of
i locomotive with great care, today he
Jd it hustily and with a luck of atten
tion. Iu the midst of his inspection he
stopped suddenly and seated himself
apoii the tool chest which is attached to
tie tender. For a good five miuutes he
s staring blankly before him ; then he
laughed outright aud asked me again,
"Is everything ready, Max?"
i "Of course, Here Huusler,". I replied.
"It's about time we ran out of the Bhed,
for we have to push a couple of locomo
tives out of the way before we get
I
clear track to the depot "
j' Yes, yes, "returned Hausler hurried
ly, then rose and went to his post If I
had not known that he was a remarka
bly abstemious man, I should almost
have thought he had drunk too much,
bpt that our conscientious Hauslor
fhould come ou duty with his brain be
fogged was inconceivable. We rau out
of the roundhouse quite slowly, made
obr way carefully between the locomo
tives, aud, according to orders, stood
outside the dopot at ten miuutes before
tke train was to start, not having cou
pled as yet. We had a good head of
steam, and all the valves lut off the su
perfluous vapor.
i"How is your wifo?" I asked, to
rtiuse Hausler from his lethargy.
("My wife?" he asked, with a start
'(She is very well, very well she knows
I nothing yet"
"Has something uupleasant happened
1 1 you, Here Huusler?"
"Unpleasant to me? No; I know of
lotbiug. Did I say anything? It was
ily a way I have of tulking, aud my
tfife must not kuow about it, "
4 Two great tears rolled down his
Jieeks, but he turned quickly away to
ide his sobs from me. I was at a loss
Jo understand his behavior j but, after a
few seconds, he turned to me again aud
Iu face was calm, even sinister,
j "Don't you feel well?" I asked.
1 "Oh, yes," he answered hastily,
im very well, very well indeed.
i The three strokes of the bell an
loaned the time for departure. The
twioa rerjeated siimal of the conductor
lave, as the order to start Hausler woke
ut of his revery, gave the whistle of
tesnonae. and then, as deftly as ever, he
et the train in motion.
) Unless some accident should occur we
would make our 91 minutes. It was ex
ctlv 1 -m when wn at last nulled up in
feenberg, and punctually at 7 o'clock
f 1 minutes, we steamed iuto Falken-
rws. Wa were nncouDled aud ran upon
de track. Four minutes luter the
Irain sped on its way. We ran our loco
motive first to the water crane and filled
jfor the return trip. Then we took in
oal and ran upon the turntable to be set
F'ght for the home run. Lastly, we ran
croat on a siding, aud after Huusler
Md fulfilled his duties as engineer he
,ent into the engineers' house to rest a
it I had to stay upon the engine, but
fconld take a little turn off for relnxa-
?ioa, thauka to the polisher. The fire in
jhe boiler was kept low, so that it did
ot go out aud could be bronght to full
,eat a half hour before starting. The
Machine could not runaway, for it stood
!cn a "dead" track and the pressure of
tearn was lowered so quickly that I was
afe in leaving it to the care of the pol
"her. It was an hour after our arrival
hen I went into the engineers' quarters
"d hnuted up Hausler in the large
wsjticB room. The engines' roonj in
Falkeuberg is fitted up with tables.
chairs and some I looping couches. There
small libiary at band from which
one can inform himself by vrlout tech-
leal works, and Hausler formerly made
use of this library to study different
treatises ou locomotive coumruction, the
science of mechanics aud so on.
Toduy I fouud bim busy writing.
There were, besides ourselves, two en
gineers, who lay uikiu the couches
asleep. Huusler wrote with speed
which I was not accustomed to see in
him. Ho utxlded to me as I euterd and
weut ou with his writiug. I thought I
noticed that the letter upou which he
was enguged, aud which a lreudy covered
at li'itt t three octavo sheets, concerned
lurge sums of money, and the name,
Hothst'liild, too, I obaervod repeatedly.
I asked Huusler whether he would not
tuke a little something in the way of re
freshment He was, as I have said be
fore, never inclined to be dissipated,
but lie was accustomed to drink at least
one glass of beer and eat a trifle, because
he ditl not get home for supper until 11
o'cltx'k. Today, however, he refused,
explaining:
I have no money. I shall, in fact,
huve to go hungry, for I cannot eat
agaiu. Everything is gone, quite gone. "
This manner of tulking naturally
struck me as strange. It was not iuteud
ed as a joke, fur Huusler did not ltxk as
if he could joke. But if it was meant In
earnest it gave me cause to fear for
Huusler's reusou, and the uneasiness
which hud tuken possession of me increased.
I could only stay in the engineers'
room long enough to get a mte to eat
and to drink a glussof beer. Theu I had
to go back to my engine to start the fires
into fresh life and get up the pressure of
steam. I threw coal Into tlie nrebox,
rakod the fire until it burned briskly,
and hud steam up again iu a short time.
When it came time to run acnata to the
truck whero we were to be coupled to
tlie Vieuuu express, I sent tlie polisher
to Huusler, for the lutter, contrary to
his custom, did not appear of his own
accord. He did not test the working of
the feeding pumps aud valves, either, as
was his wont. He seemed today to rely
eutirely upon me aud my conscientious
ness.
The train come promptly into Falkeu
berg, a little before 9 o'clock, aud the
change of locomotives hud to be made as
quickly as possibla This train was full
of passengers and had over a dozen
coaches.
As fur as Herzberg we ran at a nor
mal ruto in IJ minutes. Then to Juter
bog we hud IS minutes, schedule time,
and I noticed a constantly growing agi
tation ou the part of Huusler. He talked
to himself, flung out angry words which
sounded somotimes like a curse, gestic
ulated violeutly with his hands and
seemed to forget eutirely where we were.
Throuah tlie three intervening sta-
tious to Juterbog we ran at a terrific
mte. with no sluckeuiug of speed.
did not dure to call Huusler's attention
to his gauge, for on this point he was
verv sensitive, but when, before reach
ing the Juterbog station, we received
thn tBleirranhio sianal to slow up, aud
Huusler did not mind it in the least, I
stenned up beside him aud turned tne
lever a little myself, for otherwise we
wnnltl not. under any circumstances,
have been able to bring the traiu to a
.rnndxtill in the station. Whereupon
Hun uir closed the reuulutor himself
.d kent his Dluce dongedly at the step.
At 9 o'clock 63 minutes we pulled
out of Juterbog and 14 miuutes luter
drew no in Luckeuwalde, Contrary to
i,ia dnnnrtmeut on the preceding trip,
ttu..uW had become very quiet, but his
,.,. dnrUnned rx-rccctibly. and when,
shortly before coming to the statiou, I
reached for the throttlo, thinking that
Huusler would again forget to slow up
the train, I received from him a rough
push, and his voice was raised to almost
. enroam as be called to me: "What do
That is my business 1"
The stop of a minute in Luckeuwalde
was utilised by me to put on iresn coai.
Then we sixmI away again. Nearly 81

Hausler suddenly seized a double

the enniueer's deck, raised it aloft, and
looked aa if he would strike me down.

At first I was aa one paralyzed, but

I would gladly have talked to Huusler,

I shall uever forget how frightfully
absurd, In spite of tlie horror of tlie sit
uation, I sccuied to myself wheu I ad
dressed to Huusler the remark :
"It is cooler than usual, this even
ing." Hausler cast a lixik of distrust upon
me and was silent.
"You wife will be waiting for yon at
the statiou," I remarked as calmly as
possible.
"That's no matter!" he exclaimed.
"I shall run through, anyway. I shall
run straight through, at one stretch,

"Won t yonr wife wonder at it? I
asked as innocently as I could.
Of course she will wouder, said
Hausler, laughiug. " But w hen she sees

am going to drown him. Besides, we
shall return at once. She will ouly be

luted the story that gave the name to
this stream. Several miles up from the
mouth of the creek, near where the two
main branches which form the stream
meet, lived Mort Kills, alxnit tifty year,
ago. The pioneer's cabin stood oii the
brow of a long hill, at the foot of which
was a spring which supplied the family
with water. In those early day rattle
snakes were quite numerous, ami es

discovered at Lebanon, Conn., recently,1
and added to the membership of the
Willlinatitlcchiipterof tho Daughter of

Averv. and Is only .'ill year old. Her,
father was 74 years old at the time of
iher birth, lie wus doubtless one of the
friction pulley acts at the top, and the
elevator waits until the cargo is all off.
Then the man releases the pulley and
back goes the carriage, the heavy weight
at the other end carrying it rapidly to
thn top.
From the elevator the ice slides iuto
a run. In the center or mat, is au mu
les chain that it fitted with pronglike
attachments at certain intervals, aud a
they come along Ihey come up behlud
the cake of ice aud carry it to iu des
tination. A short distance up the run is a plan
er, a simple contrivance that removes
the snow ice and evens the blia-k so
that they will pack nicely in the bold
of the vesseL The cake of ice pas
serenely along, aud wheu they come to
the planer pas easily uuder it, but at
the same time they lose two or three
inches of their height There i a provi
sion in the contracts that provides for
this, aud they read that ouly au inch or
inch aud a half, or whatever the amount
is, of snow ice shall be left ou the cake,
and therefore the planing.
Just beyoud the planer Is a man who
gives the cuke a quick pull that briugs
it ahead of the prong lor a momeui. a
second look shows why this is done. By
this quick movement the cske of ice is
brought unon a pair of scales, aud in
the second's rest thut it has before the
prong on the chain gets along it i
weighed and the figures placed upon the
record that is beiug kept of the cargo.
It is no small Job to weigh the Ice, for
the cakes come along iu rapid suoce
ion, aud the weight has to lie ascertain
ed iu the ordinary manner and the re
suit put dowu before the next cuke get
along.
From the scale the Journey to the ve
gel is uninterrupted. The ruu is arrang
ed so thut it extends over the vessel to
the hatchway, and the rise aud full of
the title are provided for by au arrange
meut thut permits of the rising und fall
I nu of the mil to correspond.
Perhaps the most itigeuiona thing of
the whole srstetn is thut by which the
ice is put iu tho hold. At the end of the
run and directly over the hatchway i a
strong frame, aud In that there work a
platform thut gtxt up and down some
thing like an elevator at the house. Two
bltx-ks of ice are slid upon it directly
from the ruu, and the mau who control
it minuses a friction lever, aud dowu it
goes into the hold by it own weight,
the speed being controlled Dy me man
with the friction lever. The platform is
susiwuded by four ropes that uuwiud
from a cylinder as it descends, aud at
the same time another and larger rope
that appears from a distance winds upon
the cylinder.
