the
An Engineer’s Story.
“Yes, indeed, we have some
queer little incidents happen to
U9,” said the engineer, as he plied
his oil-can about and under his
macbme.
“Queer thing happened to me
a year ago. You’d think it queer
for a rough man like me to cry
for ten minutes, and nobody hurt
either, wouldn’t you? Well, I
did, and I can almost cry every
time I think of it. I was running
along one afternoon pretty lively
when I approached a little village
where the track cuts through the
streets. I slacked up a little, but
was still making good speed, when
suddenly about twenty rods ahead
of me, a little girl, not more than
three years old, toddled on to the
track. You can’t even imagine
my feelings. There was no way
to save her. It was impossible to
stop or even slack much, at that
distance, as the train was heavy
and the grade descending. In ten
seconds it would have all been
over; and after reversing and ap
plying the break, I shut my eyes.
I didn’t want to see any more. As
we slowed down my fireman stuck
his head out of the window to see
what I’d stopped for, when he
laughed and shouted to me; ‘Jim,
look here!’ I looked and there
was a big black Newfoundland
dog hold.ng the girl in his mouth,
leisurely walking toward the
nouse, where she evidently be
longed. She was kicking and
crying and I knew she wasn’t
hurt, and the dog had saved her.
My fireman thought it funny, and
kept on laughing, but I cried like
a woman. I just couldn’t help it.
I had a little girl of my own at
home.”—Chicago Herald.
