CL XoCbcrc || It was tike general understanding among all the employees of the Lawreooeburg division of the X. and Y. R~ B. that when Jlmmie Kincaid got his engine he would also get Nettie Oliver. But Jlmmie's chance for getting an engine in the near future did not seem particularly bright He was fourth on the list of firemen of the Lawrenceburg division, and that meant he must wait until four engineers died, reached , the age of limit or were fired. Of course there was always the chance that be would be able to do something to attract the attention of the superintendent of motive power, and then he might get his engine at any time. In the meantime Nettie had a fairly good position as telegrapher at Benson station, and Jlmmie could get a chance to chat with her for a few minutes every day when his train, pas eenger no. 1% *ay over uu iuc nuui^ at Benson to allow the limited moil to pass. When be bad begun scraping an acquaintance with Nettie something over a year before Jlmmie bad used the pretext that be was thinking of learning telegraphy, and under her tutorship he had picked up a fair working knowledge of the Morse code. Many a sly joke did tSb train crow of No. 14 crack at Jlmmie'g suddenly born ambition to learn telegraphy, but be bore all of these with equanimity and said that the knowledge might eome in bandy some time. After awhile it became understood among all the men that Jimmie's case was really serious,, and then the jokes stopped. Even the bead brakeman of Na 14, who bad a reputation as a wit forbore to make remarks about the connection between the Morse code and pretty girls. Benson station is at the foot of Twelve Mile hill, and this bill is regarded by the engineers as the worst place on the division. The grade ie so heavy that the track winds up the hill in two km* loons. When you get to the beginning of tbe second loop yon ? are only a mile from Benson station on a straight Hue, bat it is six miles | distant by tbe track. After be had mastered the rudiments of tbe Morse code Jlmmie would take bold of tbe whistle cord when No. 14 came to tbe loop on tbe down grade and signal "Hello1* to Nettie, at Benson station in sharp blasts upon tbe whistle, which , stood for the dots and dashes of the code. So things went along for a year and Jimmie's prospects of promotion got ; little brighter. On tbe records of the office of the superintendent of motive ! power he was still merely James Kincaid, fourth on the list of firemen, with a good reputation and the pros. pect of succeeding to an engine in the , course of five or six years. When business picked up in the fall a num1 ber of extra freight trains were put on. and he got his first chance to run an engine. On the first trip it fell to his lot to take ont the third section of freight train No. 106, east bound. The third section of No. 106 was made up of thirty-one heavily loaded cars, and none of ^ 1 - * l.V >1. xuese was equipptu. wiui uii ura&cs. As he pulled out of Adairville the old yard master swung himself up into , the cab of the engine and said: "I think ye'll pull the engine all right Jimmie, me bye, but for the love of the saints be careful when ye strike the top of the hill this side of Benson. Faith, ifs a heavy train they've given ye, and if it should break in two going down that hill and thim cyars with no air brakes on to them , there'll be the devil and all to pay." Despite this warning, there was no fear of a "break in two" in Jimmie's heart as be nursed his engine along toward the top of the hill on the other' side of which lay Benson. This is an accident which hapjjens very rarely and which not even the most experienced engineer can successfully guard against But as be struck the top of the hill and began to descend on the side toward Benson he felt a jerk which nearly threw him off his seat Looking back, he saw that the worst had happened. A coupling had snapped in the middle of the train. For the present there was but one thing to do, and that was to go down grade as fast as he- could. Looking back, he could see that the rear brakeman, who was the only man on the cars which had been left behind, had made one ineffectual attempt to set the brakes and then had jumped to safety. Jimmie knew that if the fourteen cars running wild behind caught up with the forward half of the train there 1 would be a wrepk which would cause damage to the extent of thousands of . dollars and blacklist, if not kill, the engineer responsible. Faster and faster the telegraph poles i on the side of the track flew past him. Jimmie's mind was working faster 1 than it had ever dot e in his life. His k orders directed him to wait on the . sidinz at Benson station for the west bound passenger train to pass, and he knew that at any cost he must save the passenger. Away off to the farther 1 side of Benson he could already see ; the faint line of smoke coming up from * it, and he knew that it would arrive 5 at Benson in just about ten minutes. , He figured that his own train was go' ing about a mile a minute and would i reach Benson in seven minutes. If no alternative offered itself he resolved to 1 put on all brakes when he got to the foot of the hill and deliberately wreck ; his own train. There was a straight ' track for three miles on the farther side of Benson, and the engineer of tin passenger train woold see the wrect in ample time to come to a stop. This plan, If carried out would r*^*) ably mean death for Jimmie, but I* analysed the situation none the lea coolly because of that Death is some thing that engineers get accustomec to facing. But if he oould only discor er some way of letting Nettie know th< condition of affairs it would be ai easy matter for ber to throw the de railing switch after he had passed ant allow the rear half of the train to com* to a safe haven in the cornfield besid* the track. Down at the station Nettie heard : socnd which sent bor rushing out t< the platform. Away op the hill sb< could see a freight train ootning dowi at a terrific rate of speed. The whistl* cord seemed to be in the hands of ; lunatic, for the whistie was sounding in strange, unearthly shrieks. As sli< watched it something struck fcer ai being strangely familiar nbout the waj the whistle was sounding. All of i sudden it struck her there was meth od in 'be shrieks, and that iatcrprete* by the Morse code, they were saying "BN, BN, BN," her station call. Thfe was continued for a few seoonds. au then began: "Broke in two-' Throw derailing switch when first section b past station." Tltree times tnis \v;u repeated, and then the engine wen around the curve at the farther end o the loop, and she could hear the whls tie only faintly. But she heard enough, and whea Jlmmie's engine whizoed past the ata tion with his white face pressed close ly against the glass at the side of tb engine cab be saw Nettie standing a the switch. When the last car In tto part of the train which still remain* Intact had passed the frog he saw he throw all her weight on the swkd handle, and the signals told hdm tha every one of the cars which were fol lowing him would ptte themselves ua gracefully, but harmlessly, on the sof earth of the cornfield- Brining hi engine to a stop, he ran bock to tb station and on to the: siding ha amp! time to let the passenger train pas him. The train master examined Jtauni very closely as to the necessity of pfl ing valuable freight oars on useful ag ricuKural land and passed the case uj to the division superintendent He ex amlned the papers carefully, mad some notes on the bottom of them an referred the v>bole matter to the su perintendent of motive power.
