The Greater Love
By BEN R. THORNBURY
(Copyright.)
The Riiunt frame building that had
served us division headquarters at
C'enterpolnt for the past quarter of a
century, trembled and creaked In the
grasp of the blizzard. Everybody down
In the yard, who could leave his work,
had been driven to the Blielter of
roundhouse and train-shed by the fury
of its blinding gusts.
"It never snows, but there's n bliz
zard out here," grumbled the night
dispatcher, bending ovei the truin
slieet nt the long instrument table in
tin; center of the room, "and that tip
plies to something more than the
weather chart, too. Just let us get
a heavy run of stock, and the Ojd
Man's sure to lind some reason for
running that varnished wagon of his
out on the line to play shuttle-cock
with the schedule. Il's a bad night to
keep things moving."
lie was addressing no one in particu
lar, but the superintendent wheeled
around from his desk in the corner
and faced him.
"Speaking of the Old Man," lie said,
"did you notice that drunken bum that
just went oiilV
"No," lie snapped, "I've been ton
busy keeping half a dozen hog-trains
from running over the Old Man's
special to notice anything. What's he
got to do with the Old Man?"
"Nolhing, now, hut there was n time
about ten years ago, when the Old
Man was it strong factor In his life."
The superintendent hitched his chair
over to ihe table and cocked up his
heels.
"It Isn't u long story," began the su
perintendent as lie lighted n cigar and
carefully studied the burning end.
"That drunken hum Is Sum Selkirk, nt
one time the smoothest operator on the
M. I. nnd N.
"Well, Sum blowed into the general
olllces out! day they were located nt
Kensington then and lilt the Old Mi'.n
for a Job.
"I'.eyontl the fact that bo could
pound brass, the Old Man never asked
any questions. I was a clerk in the
oflice lit Ihe time, nnd I remember the
expression on the Old Man's face when
Sam sat down to that key. He did
love it competent man, no mutter what
brunch of the service he happened to
he In.
"You cm bet there wasn't any
hulled messages In Unit ollice nftei
that, and things went on as smooth
as the loud bed for about six months,
until one day Joe Kelsoe cnine In on
No. 2 and atiiinmiced Hint he needed
a dispatcher, and needed him bud.
"Vou never knew Joe, did you? He
went down East when the road was
gobbled up. but he was t riiin-niitsler
here ill ( 'eiilerpoiiit nt that Hunt.
"The Old Man knew, by the way
Joe cut bis eyes around lit Selkirk
when he iniiile the iinnounceuieiit, that
he niiJit as well look out for ft new
operator, for what Joe went after lie
usually !.rot, and so the next day Sam
wns orilcred lo report here for sec
ond trick work. That was the begin
ning of Sam's troubles."
"of course I here was a girl in the
ca.se," emu inucd his chief, "and the
girl In Sam's ease was Jim O'Keefe's
daughter. Jim was rniul-inaster ; lh
old Man having brought liim and the
chief db put eher down with him from
the Soo.
"The chief was n good man, fill
right, or the old Man wouldn't hne
hud 1 1 1 1 ii . and we all thought he wr
straight ns a tile, but a lot of straight
trees have crooked roots you kno'V,
and they never showed In bis miili
up until Sam raked off some of the
dirt by taking up with Emmy O'Kee'e.
"Soinchow, I- m ii ii y never told Si,m
I tint she nnd the chief had been thick
up north. Eioui that moment, (lie
chief begun throwing It into Sam ;ind
never let up until he dually got tils
scalp.
"Tilings went on that way u ltd
Sam ami Emmy concluded to tin up.
"About that time the Transconti
nental bought up the line and tl.ere
was a general shake-up nil nreiind.
"Sain was tired for causo. (If
course It was 1 1 1 a ' 1 1 to cvoiybody that
the calls,, was under the new sid'cr-
hilciidcnt.
"He calm
gel his lam
dew n In n day or two to
and I never saw such a
ilianc In a fellow.
" Thai w as ilic last I sar of hliu un
til lie .liil'Ifd in here toii!:;hl oil this
I'li:-' .aid. and I iicwr Icaino.l the
whole story until the cblf was mixed
from siipciinti'iidcnt to (.eneral inan
ai:er of Western lines and 1 came up
here to take his plin c."
"Our general manager?" exploded
(he night dispatcher.
"Our general iiianiiter," pursued the
superintendent. "It seems that w luit
ewr the dial co was. he ipieeied Sam
wlih the girl as well an the coiipany,
und In s, in, milis married l.er him
self; and 1 guess i was ihat, more
than the loss (,f Ids Jul,, il.m pm Sam

to the botioui, fer I didn't know him
tonight until be told lue who he was,
"He w anted me to place him, but I
couldn't do anything for him I told
him then that ihe Ok! Man was com
ing threiuli iiMiUI-t and that If he
would wait. 1 Mould see If smncildai;
couldn't be done hi the matter, lie
turned on his heel ami went out. I
t:cer saw murder In a man's ee
but-"
"PS. PS. PS- lill."
ILii u'.ht dispatcher opened the
key to answer the call, and the super
intendent went quickly back to hit
desk in the corner, lie was about to
ask how the special was coming on,
when he heard a sharp exclamation
behind him and turned to see the
night dispatcher standing rigid In
front of hla key; his face was as white
as chalk.
"Great Scott, man I I've put second
97 head-on into that special !"
"What do you mean?" gasped the
superintendent, springing to his side.
"Speak, man 1 For heaven's sake say
something !"
The night dispatcher had fallen
limp In his chair, and the haggard
face he raised to his chief was like
death. He pointed silently to the
open order-book.
"I got that train of empties over
to the Junction for them and then
gave them that meeting-point with
second 97. They left there ton min
utes ago nnd Iiradford just said 97
bud run ids signal board nnd had
gone over the hill. His light was
out."
He was speaking calmly now. but
his slow, deliberate sentence came
Willi n metallic ring.
"That means," he continued, "that
in n bout twenty minutes from now
that train load of hogs will be going
down Heanley bill at n forty-mile
clip, and about five minutes later she
will land on that special, and "
"And no night man at Heanley!"
The superintendent groaned.
"What's that!" he leaned toward the
sounder, which was clicking rapidly.
"What is it? asked the superintend
ent. "Wait !" The word cracked like a
pislol-shot, then he began translating
siow'y :
"Don't worry up there PS, I'm not
the operator here, but I got that re
port I'Al just sent and have put a glim
on the bulls-eye; it'll stop the one
that gels here first nnd "
Thi! circuit went wide open nnd did
not close again, leaving the two star
ing at each other in helpless amaze
ment. "Sounds like a message from heav
en." said the night dispatcher in a
whisper.
Extra east pulled up nt Ponnley
tank and the flremnn crawled over
the lee-covered tender to let down the
spout. A brakeman jumped down
from the caboose steps, pulled his enp
over his ears und started toward the
engine.
"Tell Pave to get a move on there,
we don't ant to lny out that special,"
called the conductor from the cupola.
"Here. This ain't no I'trilmnn Lim
ited. Clear out o' here!" he called
roughly, nnd giving the font n jerk,
the form of a man struck the frozen
ground and lay in a heap.
The man rose to his feet nnd stead
ied himself with an effort, then stag
gered across Hie snow-covered pint
form to the door of the station. It
swung open ngainst his weight and be
fell prone across the lloor of the little
waiting-room.
For half an hour he lay thus, when
an Instrument begun pounding rapidly.
He was listening intently. "At Inst,"
be sobbed. "At last! Hang him!
Hang him! And he'll die like the dog
that he Is! If she was only there too
she she! Oh, my Funny!"
I.Ike a nuidinan he (lung himself
ngainst the frail door and burst Into
the ollice.
Insensible to the pain, lie grasped
n blazing coal am! held it to the wick.
He replaced the globe with shaking
hands and darted outside to the plat
form, where he hooked the lantern to
the signal-bonrd. Stumbling, he
groped his wny hack to the ollice nnd
sank Into the chair at the Instrutnent
tnble. Outside, above the howl of the In
creasing storm, a locomotive uttered
a single shriek, which was echoed by
another fur up the track, nnd a mo
ment later the two panting engines
came to a shuddering stop with their
frosty noses nlmost touching. A
glimmer of ruby light fell softly upon
them from the swinging lantern.
Inside, they found the corpse of a
man, his stark lingers clutching the
key of n telegraph Instrument.
TAKE FISH WHILE STUPEFIED
Natives of the Fiji Islands Have Most
Peculiar Method of Snaring
the Finny Tribe.
An extraordinary means of catching
lish Is practiced by native nf the FIJI
Islands. The bait is "loovu," a native
vine or creeper. Having pounded
lengths of vine into pulp, the fisher
men paddle out over coral reefs. In
about l'J to lo feet of water they dive
and fasten bundles of "toou" around
rocks and ercviies where tisli are
Known to be.
In a few minutes nil fish within n
ratlins of six to eight feet turn over en
their backs ami Moat up to the sur
face. They are scooped up Into the
boats, anil soon their tails begin to
wiggle. If thrown back Into the water
the lish return to normal condition.
The poisoning of water in this coun
try Is not uncommon. The weed buck
eye, when trampled and bruised, xx i 1 1
coutaininate a whole poinl am stupefy
the fish. Cattle are sometimes mor
tally poisoned by drinking nearby wa
ter into which they have trampled the
roots i'f w iner hemlock.

THE MODEL GUEST
' iVTY COUSIN James is coming
1VX to spend a week," anounced the
landludy, "and I can't say I'm over
joyed. He's the most unsatisfactory
visitor I ever saw. You can hardly
get a word out of him. He Isn't a bit
like his brother
Jeremiah, who is
full of fun, and
the best company
imaginable.
"Your remarks
show how little
true greatness is
appreciated, in a
moral family
boarding house,
where the dam
ages are collected
in advance," ob
served the star
boarder. "Iu my
opinion, James is
If I hud my own
the model visitor
household, with a charming bride to
pour the imitation coffee, and a vine
and figtree in a jardiniere, I'd send a
special delivery letter to James, ask
ing him to come and stay for leu years
or more.
"There's something restful and
soothing about that gifted man. He
never bothers anybody. No one has
to waste precious moments entertain
ing him. It isn't necessary to discuss
the weather predictions, or dig up a
lot of statistics about the crops, in
order to make James have a good time.
You don't have to show him the old
plush photograph album, and describe
the ancestry of the melancholy effigies
whoso pictures appear therein. Near
ly all visitors are bores, my dear Mrs.
Jiggers, because they have to be en
tertained. Somebody has to sit up
with them and thrash out last year's
gossip. They have no Initiative or
referendum. They have no resources
of their own. In order to have a pleas
ant visit, they need help.
"Your cousin James Is a man after
my own heart. I remember his last
visit quite well. He came in the eve
ning, and after supper he took a chair
on the porch. Knowing he xvas a
guest, I felt It my duty to entertain
Ii i in In the conventional way. I
dragged my chair close up to his nnd
remarked that it was a pleasant eve
ning, but the presence of a cloud bank
in the northwest almost convinced me
that there would be rain within twelve
hours, in which case, I proceeded,
there would be much jubilation among
the honest old farmers, whose crops
were suffering for moisture.
"James listened to my remarks nnd
then looked at me, in a sad, reproach
ful wny, ns though he thought it a
shameful tiling thnt imbeciles should
be nt large, and then he took his chair
to the opposite end of the porch with
out having said a word. I must con
fess that I felt like n counterfeit
kopeck for a few minutes, but the
more I considered the matter, the
more I admired and respected that
remarkable man.
"He used to go downtown every
morning and buy a paper backed
novel, or a fiction magazine, and then
he'd read it all day, and when he was
done with his literature he left It
where the boarders could get it. I
didn't hear him say ten words during
his visit, yet you say, Mrs. Jiggers,
that he is an unsatisfactory guest.
Elderly landladies, whose intellects
have been warped by long years of
parsimony, are hard to please.
"Jeremiah, whom you describe as
jolly nnd agreeable, should be sup
pressed. He has collected all the old
choosey stories ever manufactured,
and Insists upon telling them, lie has
a horrible habit of making puns, and
considers himself a humorist, be
cause of it. You couldn't bribe him to
sit down with a book or magazine nnd
behave himself. He has to be enter
tained every minute of his time, and
the only wny you can entertain him
Is by letting him do the entertaining.
"He is a genial old freak who thinks
he Is a privileged character, nnd every
body's pet. The last time be wns here
he went Into my sumptuous apart
ment and used my razor to shave the
southeast quarter section of his
I'outiteiiutiee. Ills whiskers are full
of barbed wire, and the rnzor was
ruined. When I spoke to him about
It he thought it funny. Yet you refer
to such n mini as an agreeable visi
tor. I blush for you, Mrs. Jiggers."
In Moderation.
"Would you advise a candidate to
stay on his front porch?"
"Yes," answered Senator Sorghum;
"but only part of the time; just long
enough to take cure of his voice and
get together a good bunch of speeches
for delivery on tour."
Just It
"I thought you said you had a fine
ending to your automobile trip." "So
I had." "Your chauffeur told me you
were arrested for speeding." "Welt,
wouldn't you call a windup in the po
lice court a fine ending?"
Weighted With a Watch.
The watch of Charles V, which was
one of the earliest of these time-pieces,
weighed twenty-seven pounds. It was
a good deul like a clock of the present
day.
