Thrilling Experience of a Traveling Man While Riding With the Engineer. "I suppose,” said a reporter to a Chambers street hardware salesman, a modest man of about th rty-eight sum mers, "that in the course of your career as a traveling man you have narrowly e- caped iustaut death several hundred times.” “No, s’r,” he continued, emphatic ally, “although I have been twenty years on the road, of serious accidents I have known very few. I had one rather thrilling experience coming out of Chicago once in a long traiu of four teen cars tilled with sufferers after the second tire. We were sweeping across the prairie at the rate oi thirty-five miles an hour, when a coupling broke between tho second baggage car and the smoker. '* The “•* engineer ---------- felt the shock, and looking back, saw the trouble, He gave a wilk shriek on his whistle for down brakes, threw wide open tho throttle, and sped away down the track as if tho furies were after h'm. The conductor happened to bo sitting just in front of me at tho time. He opened the window at the locomo tive’s screech, looked out, but instantly drew m liis hoad, and, dropping his lighted lantern (it was at night), up in the aisle, brac- stood ing himself between two op posite seats. I toll you the chalky white ness of his face was reflected in every countenance in the car. There was no outcry, but everybody clutched some thing and waited for the shock. It never came. We ran along for two or three minutes, which seemed intermina ble, and then the train began to answer the steady pull on the brakes and finally came to a halt. Every man was out of the car while the wheels were still spinning at a 1 vely gait. It was bnight moonlight, and we could see the track stretching ahead in a straight line for a long distance, but of the engine and forward cars there was not a trace. They were miles ahead, and the engineer was in no hurry to slacken speed. You see, it was down grade, and you can’t blame a man for wantng to keep woll out of tlie way of a dozen loaded cars thundering after him. We had time to see about all there was of that particular moon-lit prairie landscape before our engine took us in tow again, but no body complained. you can guess. That engineer's quick judgment aud prompt action averted a big wreck. “Another time when my hair refused to retain its normal position and rose at right angles with my scalp was ail occurrence on the Erie road. I ha\l managed to get on the engii.jasa novel experience. I first discovered that the mot on was really appalling. Tho en gine throbbed and trembled as it ran rocking and plunging on tho rai. as if every moment it would leave them. The din, too, was frightful. The fire man and eng neer yelled at each other whenever tiiey attempted to speak, wh ch was not often, and I simply could not gather my voice in sufficient vol ume to overcome that pandemonium of sound. "It was dark, about six o'clock of a late November evening. We wore climbing tho mountain, and the grade was heavy and tho curves many. As we thundered along comparatively slow I could see huge rocks towering’ close to the track on one side, while from the other dark chasms, their depths hidden in gloom, yawned away. It wasn't cheerful, and the outlook forward wasn't much better. The first time I strained my eyes ahead I drew back with a sudden start and clutched the window frame with both hands, expect ing my hour had come. To my unini- tinted eyes there lay apparently between the rails a huge bowkier of whitish rock against wheh we must instantly crash, but we didn’t, and after = to discover that we waiting were only thrashing around in the usual way I took courage to look agan. The fireman was stolidly feeding the insatiate furnace with tons of coal! I looked at the engineer: he was out on the engine with his oil-can stepping along as composedly and easily as if ho were walking a country turnpike; then I looked ahead. We had just rounded a curve, and at the end of the stretch of track before us I saw a lot of lights, some on the track and'some moving alongside. The sight startled me. and I touched the fireman, po nting through the w ndow. He looked quickly, then seize I the rope, and blew a short, sharp blast on the whistle.
