Oo-?o. ©•© •©•©o •© I A WILD RIDE I Q O 6 It Was Made by a Veteran En- 6 A gineer and a Fireman. diO'O'OtOrO © It was in Colorado, on one of the wildest and roughest railroads I know of. I was fireman on 67, which was used in the passenger service. She liad the largest drivers on the road, and they only measured forty-eight Inches in di ameter. Matt Irwin was the engineer. Sixty-seven had just been housed aft er a run. I was filling the oil cans and Matt was hauling off his overalls when Mr. Fox, the superintendent, climbed luto the cab. After a few commonplace remarks he said abruptly: "Matt, there's been a big mistake uiade in tlie higher offices—but that Is not for us to criticise—and there is but one way to rectify it." Here the superintendent's voice drop ped to a whisper. "One hundred and fifty thousand dollars in gold has got to be in B before midnight, to con nect with the eastern express, and you are the man selected to take It through." Old Matt showed his astonishment with his eyes, but never opened his mouth. The super!ntendeut merely glanced at me and, turning to Matt, continued: "A loue engine might create suspi cion, so we'll make up a wild freight. They'll all be empties. Back down to the offices before you couple ou, and we'll put the safe under the coal in the tender." Thut was all. He Jumped ofT aud dis appeared. For some time Matt and I sat staring ai each other. Then he slid off his seat and said: "This won't do! Supper, Harry ; sup per! We haven't much time to lose. It only lacks a few minutes of 0. Be back before the quarter." The wind was whistliug among (he ears, whisking the dust and papers about, while iu the south a big black cloud was coming up, resplendent with chain lightning. Altogether the night promised to be unusually bad. I was back on time, but Matt was there before ine. He had lighted the shaded steam gauge lamp and stood scanning a small piece of pasteboard. "What do you make of this. Harry?" he asked as I climbed up beside him. "I found it pinned to my cushion.". On it was scrawled with a lead pen cil the words: Dinger! Don't pull the wild freight tonight if you value your lives. A THUS KRIKSD. "I make it that some one beside the superintendent and us knows of it," I replied, the cold shivers beginning to chase each other up my spinal column. "There's danger ahead!" "Aye, there Is danger ahead, my boy." And old Matt spoke softer than I had ever heard him before. "If you want to"— "I'll go where you lend," I replied quickly, knowing what he was going to say. "Then we'll go through if it takes the wheels out from under! Ring up the wipers!" And, without waiting for the hostler to run the engine out, old Matt backed her on to the turntable, where the wipers swung her around, aud then we backed down to the offices, where four trusty men soon had the square safe under the coal. A few minutes later we were coupled on to a half dozen empty freight cars and a caboose. "There's your orders!" cried Jimmy O'Connor, the conductor, shoving up the yellow sheet of tissue paper. Old Matt looked them over, and we began to move out of town. "We've got a clear track," he said, looking across at me, and then he drew up the corners of his mouth, and I look for a quick run. Before we reached the outskirts of the town the rain began to come do>vn In a perfect deluge. Great drops fell, mixed with hail, and in such quantity that tlie dry drains were soon transformed into rag ing creeks. The wind howled and shrieked above the rumble of the train and threatened to lift 07 off the rails. When the tele graph poles began to snap off, Mutt's face began to lengthen. "Good night for wash overs." be said, "and wash overs are as bad as wash outs!" It was all down grade, and all the steam used was to run the air pump. I had only to keep the fire alive. Eight miles down we ran past a small station where a freight train was side tracked. It had perhaps a dozeu cars. Just before we reached it I saw a man (lart In between two of the ears to escape fhe headlight. I thought him either a trainman or a tramp, but have since changed my mind. We were half way down the Haver sack grade, with a ptraigbt stretch of track and a long curve before us, token Matt looked across and said: "I'm afraid the little pasteboard was only a scare. If"— There was a flash if light behind, Ill* rattle of coal and Bob Duncan, the forward hrakeman, stood In the cab. His face WIIH as white as a sheet "Shut her down—shut her down, for heaven's sake!" he shouted. "A freight's broke loose and Is coming down the grade two miles a minute!" Before you could snap your fingers my face was as pale as Bob's. Mntt Irwin never lost his head and with a coolness that comes to few luen in time of danger he anted. "How do you know?" "Seen her by a flash of lightning. O'Connor and Billy have Jumped!" And then he swuug out on the step and disappeared. "Jump if you want to, Ilarry," called old Matt. "I'm going to stick to her." I gave one look at the Egyptian dark ness and concluded that I would stay with old Matt. "Keep your eye peeled for her," he cried, ami commenced to let 07 out. "There she Is!" 1 shouted. Aud there It was, sure enough. It had Just come out of a out. One of he boxes was on fire, the flame stream ing buck half a car length and cutting through the nlr like a meteor. "She's four miles behind," said old Matt, "and coining four feet to our one. If we can get around the curve, there's a show of her Jmnplug." And then began that terrible ride. He hooked 07 up to the flrßt notch and then opened the throttle. With seven curs behind us we shot down the prude of 173 feet to the mile. Sixty-seven set low In her frame, but every low Joint rung her bell for an eighth of a mile. She jumped and sway ed and threatened to leave the rails. The wind shrieked around us like a thousand demons, and the rain poured against the windows In a perfect stream. "There's danger ahead and death be hind!" shouted the old engineer. "If the rain loosens a bowlder aud drops It on the track"— I shuddered. There wns a blasted pine that marked the curve. The next second we reached It. For a moment I thought It was all over. Then 07 right ed. There was n sharp Jerk. We forg ed abend faster, nml our seven ears cleared the roadbed and wont down the bluff with a crush that was heard high nbove the storm, leaving a clean track for the runaway behind that was coming ns swift and sure as death. If the runaway got around the curve, the probabilities were that we would be knocked from the track luto the riv er. We were very uear to the bottom now, where the roadbed followed the river, aud the engineers were cautioned not to run over fifteen miles per hour. But orders were not respected that night. We were making thirty miles per hour when a flash of lightning showed me that dark string of enrs coming around the curve. The blnzlng box wns on the opposite side and invis ible. Old Matt gave G7 the steam so sud denly she seemed to jump from under us, but the runaway was not more tLan half a mile behind and was com ing with the speed of a tornado. There was no getting out of the way. In a moment It would be on us. 1 Im agined 1 could see the black mass com ing down on us lu the darkness, when a heavy rumble was heard, followed by a tremendous erasli. The ralu had loosened the rock and dirt overhanging the track and it only needed the Jar of 07 to set It iu motion. . Something like 1,000 tons of <lebrl6 tolled on to the track directly behind us, and into this those runaway cars plunged. But we did not find this out until aft erward. Matt kept 07 up to what was a tremendous speed on that track. &he plunged and rolled and rang her bell continuously. A dozen times I thought we were going into the river. We pulled through all right, but that was my last trip. When I got off the engine, my hair was streaked with gray and now It is white as snow. For some time It was thought that the runaway cars had broken loose, but the company became suspicious nnd had the case looked into, with the re sult of running down some tough char acters, who finally confessed to cutting them loose with the intention of ditch ing us between Haversack grade nnd the bottom aud securing the treasure. Old Matt has retired from the road, but 1 do not think that either he or I shall ever forget the run of 07. Voonß Men aa Authors. Keats was dead when Just a little over his twenty-fiftli year. Shelley wrote "Queeu Mab" at twenty aud the "Prometheus Unbound" and the "Ode to the West Wind" at twenty-six.

Burns was but twenty-seven when he was the Hon of the season in Edinburgh. Camp bell published his "Pleasures of Hope" at twenty-two. Cliatterton was not eighteen when he finished his life's work. Tho great Shakespeare himself was famous when little more than a youth, and the same Is true of the Shakespeare of France, Victor Hugo. And Goethe, by the bye, wns known to all Europe at twenty-four. Scott, on the other hand, was more leisurely. He made no serious effort as an author till he was over thirty, and he was over forty when "Waveiley" was given to the world.

John Mackenzie Bacon haß many opportunities of testing the carrying of Hounds to and from a bal loon at a great height, and Mr. Wise, the American aeronaut, relates a case in point. He was ballooning one day nbove a dense cloud stream when he heard a cow bell anil the sounds of a wood chopper's ax, whereupon, to attract the attention of the laborer, he shouted "Hello!" He was immediately an swered by another "Hello!" from the ground. He then asked the question, "now fur is this from Lancaster?" and was annoyed by being mocked by Ills own words. "Being in the clouds," lie says, "and not able to see things above or below, X felt somewhat nettled at this clownish display of wit, and in a very audible tone of voice, while the foregoing win still reverberating In my ear, 1 snng out, 'You're a :<iol!' which in a very few seconds was answered by an equally distinct and measured tone of voice, 'You're a fool!'
