of Joe Tnylor, of Cottage Orovo precinct,
Five ycais ago I was running
the passenger locomotive, No. So,
on the through route between
Pittston and Harrisville.
It was a cold night in December,
with considerable frost and snow
on the track, and a biting wind
blowing a thin drizzle of sleet
from the north. There was a
clouded moon, but it gave suffi
cient light to make the track
visible for a good distance behind
us as well as ahead of us.
Hawkins was in the cabe with
me, and there is no better fireman
in the country than Hawkius. We
had passed Woodstock, fifteen
miles back, and had whizzed by the
express at West Maltby. We had
before us a clean run of thirty miles
to jHarrisville, where I went off
duty, and Carson came on.
We were drawing a half-dozen
passenger coaches and a mail car,
and expected to reach Harrisville
at 12:30 on time.
"By Jove!" said Hawkins, wip
ing the dampness from his face
with a grimy hand; "it is a nasty
night, and I shan't be sorry when
we get to Harrisville. Hope
they'll have something hot for
supper at old Barker's."
Just as he spoke, I thought I
heard, faintly sounding through j
in a voice hoarse with excitement, 1 before thu 1'nrmorn Instltuo hold nt

.But," I said, "why did you
not warn us at Woodstock?"
"The dispatch came a moment
after you had pulled out. You
left half a minute early, you know.
You always hurry from Woodstock
now," with a little upward glint in
the eye that I knew full well.
"Why didn't your father or some
man come?"
"Father is down with a broken

sharp whistles of a locomotive. I
strained my ears, and caught the
sound again distinctly, and nearer
than at first.
"Good Lord!" cried Hawkins
"Wnat was tnatr It s coming
up behind us! It's a runaway
engine; and if so, then God help
us!"
There is nothing a railway en
gineer dreads more than a wild en
gine, for there is no way to control
it, and nothing to do but outrun
it.
Hawkins turned towards the
coal box, and seized the shovel to
put in more coal, but I stopped
him.
"Wait a moment," I said;
"possibly there may be a meaning
in this thing."
We were just shooting on to the
high trestle which crosses Good
run's Meadows, from which the
land slopes gradually down, for
twenty rods or so, to the rocky bed
of the Muskavoy river.
Leaning out of the window, I
could command a view of the track
for half a mile behind us. And,
as Hooked, I could see distinctly,
coming on in our wake, a loco
motive, with no cars attached, and
a long, black cloud of smoke trail
ing out behind on the frosty air.
It was running at nearly the
same speed we were going, and as
I gazed I became satisfied that
whoever had a hand on the throttle
was timing the speed to ours. I
waved my red lantern from the
cab window, and was answered by
a green light swung frantically
from the cab of the pursuer, and
borne faintly on the air came a
single wild cry, which sounded to
me like "Stop."
I slowed 89 up a bit, in spite of
Hawkins' angry protestatious, and
our pursuer slowed also.
"There must be danger ahead,
and they are come to warn us," I
said, "and a green light is the
signal at Woodstock."
"Why in thunder didn't they
warn us at Woodstock, then?"
growled Hawkins. I brought 89
to a standstill, and the locomotive
which had followed us stopped not
twenty feet away. I leaped to the
ground and went back. A woman
rear platform of the train, and
glowering at us in amazement, I
kissed her as I had never kissed
any womau before.
"Bess," I cried, "you came to
save me. Say it, or I will "
"Yes," she broke in, softly.
' You and the passengers."
Bessie is my wife now, and she
signals me with her white hand
every time my train flies past the
little cottage which is our home.
Superintendent Sanborn forgave
her for taking 104 without orders,
but I do not think he ever forgave
her for stealing his heart and then
returning it in the original package.
