iHOWJIMMIE I
I GOT HIS ENGINE !
| By WILLIAM 1
| WALKER HINES |
? CbpvHpkL bn T. 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
