One ot the noblest men In the world In "Dob" I'rltchard , nnd It seems the Tory Irony of fate that his life nhould bo darkened by the ever present shadow of a great sorrow row , lie has everything on earth that a man could hops ( or wealth , position , Influ ence , home , family , health and friends but over all there broods a superscnsltlvo con science that destroys his happiness. Morbid nts como on him onca In a while , and ho steals oil alone to commune with himself. Ills wife understands the cause of his sorrow , but ho Is trying to keep It away from the knowledRO of his boy , who Is old enough to begin to do sotno thinking on his own ac count. Ho never goes homo In his hours of melancholy , but hides In some out-of-tho- way place till the mood passes off. I often run across him In such places as "Old Tom's , " Gown near Trinity church , and Marchcsl's , In Fiftieth street , where ho Is unlikely to meet any of his Intimate friends. Ho will sit there for hours and hours , smok ing and drinking , oblivious ot his surround ings. On the table at homo Is a superb din ner untouched , while ho sits alone with his conscience and dines upon a chop. Conscience Is the exponent of a man's character. If It makes cowards of us all , It also makes us brave. It makes us weak , It makes us strong , It makes us miserable and happy , contented and discontented It oven makes us 111 or well. A guilty .con science Is the blackest hell on earth. For a clear conscience purgatory liath no terrors. I have seen men guilty In their o\vn sight , who , In the eyes of the world , were Innocent. I have known "Bob" Prltchard for thirty years. Ho Is and always was Incapable of doing a wrong or dishonorable thing. Dut his conscience Is scared and rcmorso will go with him to the end of the grave. I have tried to talk him out of It In vain. When "Hob" became a switchman on the Greatest railroad In America he was stationed In a tower at a point about half way be tween two of our largest cities , where another road crossed the four tracks of the main line. Not less than 300 trains passed the spot In ovcry twenty-four hours. The chief switchman was a man named Uanton , Al D.inton , who lived In a little cottage near by with his mother and sister. These were dependent' upon him , and to lighten his bur- detn they took a few boarders. "Dob" went to live with them as soon as he was settled In his new berth , and In the course of time a warm friendship sprang up between him and Danton , whllo he began to regard the young woman with more than ordinary In terest. The Dantons were an old Virginia f.imily , once rich , now poor , and the mother and daughter were proud and sensitive. They were descendants of General Archibald Dan- ton , who figured among revolutionary heroes. Miss Margaret was regarded by young , old nnd middle-aged as a beauty. Dcsldes "Dob" and Danton there was a third man on duty In the switch tower , and the watches were divided Into six , cf four hours each , the men alternating so that four hours of work was followed by eight of rest and recreation. Danton being the more ex perienced had the busy watches of the mornIng - Ing and afternoon , when the regiments of commuters were going to and from the city. "Dob" had the midday watch and the mid night watch , so that he and Danton were at home together from 9 till 12 o'clock every evening , and the hours were passed very pleasantly In the society of the mother and daughter. One night a stranger called , a reporter for one of the Now York papers , who said that his mission was to write a special article on the signaling system in use on the road , and in furtherance thereof ho sought permission to sit for an hour or two in the tower during the busiest time of the day. This Danton could not grant without a letter from the general manager , as It was against the rules of the company. The reporter acquiesced , but did not de part at once. Ho seemed bent on an in terview , and forthwith began a rlgarnarolo about the responsibility ot railroad em ployes , seeking deftly to draw out his hearers. "I'll tell you what Is a fact , Mr. Dan- ton , " ho said , bristling with enthusiasm ; "tho most responsible place on a railroad Is the switch tower. Did It ever occur to you ? I doubt If It over occurred to the pub lic , and I shall make It my duty to point It out. Just think of the awful responsibility on you , for Instance. I wonder It doesn't break you men down In a few months. The strain must bo terrific ! I don't think the re sponsibility of an engineer Is to bo com pared for a moment with that which rests upon you ; but we never hear of the people conceding anything to the poor switchman. Don't you think it rather strange ! "Just think of the chances of death taken by travelers , " ho went on. "On the' road they trust to the engineer. At sea they trust to the captain. They never think how easy It Is for a switchman to throw two trains together ; never realize that by the simple turning of a little wheel In the boiler room the largest ship may bo blown to atoms ! Ah , the sublime faithfulness of sub ordinates Is the one thing that makes mo bcllevo In heaven ! I have often said that If I had my way , I would rather see two trains , each going fifty miles nn hour , crash together than wltnpss any other sight on earth. Yo gods ! what ; a grand spectacu lar effect ! How easy It would bo to do It , too. Did you over allow yourself to think of such a thing ? " "Not often , " Danton , replied. "I don't think It Is wlso to let the mind dwell too much on such things. " Ho was becoming Interested In the re marks of the reporter , and the rest of the audience Mrs. Danton , Miss Margaret and "Dob" were content to hear anything the stranger had to say. It still lacked an hour of "Dob's" watch. "To think of such things might be danger ous to a weak minded man , but to ono of strong senses there could bo no danger , " continued the young man. 'And there I find additional cause for wonder. Don't you suppose there arc many switchmen and Signalmen on this road who are mentally weak ? It must bo so. And when they read of accidents and their Imagination * arc wrought up , I should think some of them would go crazy , or be so temporarily Insane - sane as to experiment at the expense of the public and the company. Now , up there at your tower what a grand opportunity for a wild man ! The limited both ways passes there at 5:30 : sixty relics an hour ! And there is the split switch. Didn't It over flash through your mind what might hap pen If you should by any chance pull the wrong lever at the critical moment when thu two trains were within n quarter of a mile of each other ? Ughl I ilotil bcllevo I could stand It. I'd bo Imagining all the time how such a crash would look and sound , and then there would come the temptation to try It Just once. Jly , what a story It would make ! "Mighty good reading , I expect , " said Dantou , "but after that " -"Oh , there wouldn't be any after that , " the reporter Interrupted , "only hereafter. Dut , really , wouldn't you like to see such a sight ? " 'Yes , frankly , I would , I have often thought so. Dut I would want to he at u safe distance. And I wouldn't admit that I am so bloodthirsty as to want to eco two- train loads of people slaughtered. " "What do you SUPPQSO would bo the re sult of such u crash ? Would both trains bo likely to bo totally u recited , and would any of the pasfeonzcra escape ? Sixty miles an hour , mind you ? " "I Bhould not suppose there would bo much loft lo toll the talc. " "Nor I. The engines would certainly go nearly through each other , and no cars are strong enough to siJiul such an Impact. It would bo wholcbalt slaughter , with a vcn- Kcanco. And not sa much danger to the awltchnmn , after all. He Is out of reach , Isn't ho ? Would you be In any danger up In your tower ? " "Not the slightest. " "Ami after the wreck , couldn't you throw the switch back In place to avoid suspl- cloti ? " "I cpuld throw the switch back , but the lusplcion could not bo avoided. You've just feild that thu poor uwltchman la always suspected. " "That's so. Dut It coult bo worked , nevertheless , You know what I'd lllr ; > t do ? Write up an Imaginative story of such a wreck and make a sensation. It would bo a tremendrus hit. " i " 1 should tbluk BO. You'd have to manu facture namoa and dates and use a fictitious road. It would surely bo a bUrtllng story. The minutiae of the detail must bo such aa to carry conviction. Do you understand the arrangement of the lovers In the towers ? " 'Trolly well , I think. Near enough to fool the public , who know nothing. " "Woll , Just keep two signals In view the red and the white. And remember that the lovers work on ratchets , and some arc painted white and others red. The white signal must bo set till the southbound limited is right on It , than suddenly thrown to red , That will carry the train over on the north bound track , but too late for the engineer to appply the brakes. Do careful about the schedule. See that both trains arc on time , so as to meet at the right point , otherwise you spoil everything and put your head In the noose. You want to kill the whole outfit - fit In the story and convert the trains Into scrap Iron and kindling wood. " "And bo sure to allow the switchman to escape , " laughed Deb , who Imd hitherto taken no part In the conversation. "After slaughtering so many people and destroying so much property ? " asked Mrs. Danton , over her spectacles. "Oh , wo would work that part of the story all right , ma'am , " said the reporter , "Ho would get off on a plea of Insanity. Huslcst thing In the world. " "I doubt If It would bo right to excuse him even then , " said the good woman. "Hut you couldn't hang a madman , and nobody hut a madman could be guilty of such a crime. " "It will bo a great story , " Danton said , nodding' his head with an air of satisfied .spec ulation on Its wonderful possibilities. "Get It out. I'd Ilko to read It. Make It dramatic , graphic , tragic. I want to see how you carry It through. It makes my flesh creep to think of what might be done every day by the switchmen on the roads ot the United States. Why , If wo were to band together and ttnlto upon a day for slaughter wo could kill thou sands of people. The mere moving of a lever a few Inches , and there you are death and destruction ! Heaven and hell ! Salvation and damnation ! " "Why , my son , I never heard you use such language before , " mildly remonstrated his mother. "I feel warmed up , mother , " ho said , ris ing to walk the floor In his enthusiasm. "This thing has never been on my mind be fore , but when you como to think of It the situation Is startling. Why are all of the swltclrmcn on all of the roads of the world so fanciful ? Think of the1 thousands who nro earning small wages at throwing the levers , and yet hnw few even admit that there Is the slightest possibility of one of them doing a criminal act. Suppose some man , with the Idea that the world had wronged him , should go about to kill whomsoever crossed his path. Could there be a more terrible way of wreaking his vengeance than by throwing a switch ? He might go from road to road wrecking trains and destroying thousands of lives. If such a man were going In for kill ing he would. want fearful results , great totals. He would not care to stain his hands with the blood of one man. That would look too much like murder. To kill thousands Is slaughter ? There's something attractive In the Idea. Samson slew thousands of the Philistines with the Jaw 1-one of an ass. That was grand ! glorious ! sublime ! If I were go ing In to kill it would be butchery , massacre , carnage ! I have no patience with your mid night assassin , your hot-headed murderer. Give me the cool , calculating villain who can lay his own plot , execute It In cold blood , and , with a grim smile on his face , see thou sands perish by his hand. " He would have gone on , growing wilder anil wilder In his speech , If the hour for "Dob's" departure for the tower had not ar rived. This broke up the party. Defore leaving the house the reporter promised to get to work at once on the story , with the understanding that when finished It should be submitted to Danton for the correction of any technical errors. "Bob" worked solemnly at the levers from 12 to ! . Ills thoughts usually were of Mar garet , but on this watch they dwelt on the strange Interest of Danton In the reporter's imaginative article , and ho was obliged to confess to himself that a review of the even ing gavehim a very uncomfortable feeling. Danton slept not at all , but 'spent most of the night In restlessly pacing the floor of his room , and when he went to the tower at 1 o'clock to relieve "Bob. " the latter noticed his bloodshot eyes and haggard face. "You don't look well , Al , " he said , as Danton threw off his coat , ran his eye over the levers and looked up and down the track. "Oh , I'm all right , " was the reply. "I didn't .s'eep ' very well and feel slightly broken up. The Chicago Express Is late this morning , I see. Seventeen minutes behind If she doesn't hurry along I'll have to hold that special at the crossing. She's due In three minutes and Is reported on time. " Presently the special came tearing along down the heavy grade from the eastward , and Danton , throwing the red lever , brought It to a standstill fifty fest from the crossing. The main line to the south , the direction from which tho..Chlcago express was coming , curved an eighth of a mile from the tower , then ran oft on a tangent for three miles and a half. Intervening woods shut out a full view of the entire stretch , but there was an opening on the right that en abled Danton to see the top of the grade three miles away. He was in the habit of watching this point for a coming train and timing the run to the tower , and ho now looked in that direction for the express. If he saw it bo would have at IcaU three min utes ample time to let the special over the crossing. Then ho thought ho would let It over anyway and take chances. The signal wai thrown and the train moved ahead. There were only four cars , and thrca of thcs3 had passed , when the express , which had been screened by the woods , Hushed sud denly Into view Just beyond the curve , com ing at full speed. Danton heard the sharp , shrill blast of the whistle , and In Just ten seconds saw the train dash by at sixty miles an hour , almoH scraping the rear platform of the special. "Thank God ! " said Deb , who had stood transfixed with horror. "Close shave , that , " Danton remarked with a smllS1. "If our friend the reporter had been here ho would have come pretty near getting a chapter for his story. > Whew ! " Ho laughed gleefully over the Incident. Ho seemed reckless , demoralized , and "Bob" was prompted to give him a llttlo warning. "It may cost you your Job , Al , " he sold as ho left the tower. "Oh , well. It will never happen again , " was the reply. "I Just looked up the road a minute or two too late. Who could have guessed that the express had pushed the opening ? I reckon It made these fcllowx on the special hold their breath. Suppose they had been a few secondi later ! That old com pound would have cut 'cm In two and I'd have visions of a Jail. " After his watch he went homo and went to bed , but sleep never closed his eyes. His mind was full of collisions. Ho could think cf nothing else , lie had eaten no breakfast , nnd at the lunch hour told his mother he had no appetite. In th afternoon ho strolled through the woods , and 'every time a train passed would say half aloud , "I'd like to see her hit something. " At 4 o'clock , when ho 'again entered the tower to go on duty , there was u wild look In his eyes. "Don't leave mo hero alone , 'Dob' " ho said , "I'm not feeling Ilko myself and may need you. Seems to me I'm going crazy or Bcmethlng. Haven't closed my eyes In twen ty-eight hour ] nor tasted food. " "Dob" urged him to go home and leave the watch to him , but ho Insisted on remaining at his poet. Ho seemed very cool and culm. At r > o'clock ho announced that both of the limited trains were on time. They were duo at 5:30. : Margaret , having mlbsed her after noon walk with "Dob , " canio over to sec what had become of him. There wus a com- plcto understanding between thetwo. . Shu brought Home trlllo for her brother to cat. but ho declined to break Ills fust. At 5.27 the north-bound limited pas'ed the opening. "Watch the clock and time her. Margy , " Danton said. "She ought to be hero In ex actly three minutes. " As ho turned to look down the track ho placed his hand on the lever that operated the switch connecting the north-bound with the south-bound track "Dob" noticed the movement and a horrible suspicion entered his mind. "Margy ! " ho calUd. The girl looked at him and he pointed to Danton , whose gaze was riveted on the curve , 200 yards away. Then he mured close be hind him and took hold of the hand on the lever. The rumbling of the twu approaching trains wai becoming louder und louder , "Al , " * ald Hob , gently trying to withdraw his friend s hand "Look out' ' There ho comes' " Danton screamed wildly as the train dashed Into view. Then , turning , he sav ; the south bound tearing on. Yes , they would meet right at the tower. "Look Margyl" ho cried. " " , "Iook. Dobl" Then , with a mad shout and n weird , do- maniacal liuiRh , he braced bin left foot gainst the wall , and leaning far buck , pulled Iho lover. The train wai within 100 yards of tha switch. The engineer saw the rod arm of the signal swing down , saw the switch open , saw the other tr ln bearing down upon him aw death staring him In the face ! Ho ap plied the brakes , but might as well have tried lo stop the rotation of the earth In that short space. Deb sprang upon Danton as a tiger springs upon Its prey , but the man was a raving maniac , endowed with the strength of a dozen giants , A terrific struggle , short , sharp and blomly , followed. "Margy , throw back the lever ! " Margaret , obedient to her lover's com mand , stood ready. Deb hail plckfd up an Iron bar , and with ono blow had knocked lUnton'K hand off the lover. Then he raised the weapon and brought It down on the mad man's head with stunning effect. Danton reeled nnd fell , with his head between the lover nnd the wall , Margaret was unablu to throw the lever. Her strength was not sulllclcnt. To throw It clear over would crush Danton's head , Deb sprang to her assistances throw hli whole weight upon the long arm , and , with teeth clenched and eyes tightly closed , lay there till the trains had passed on and disappeared. Margaret threw her arms around his neck. "Dob , Deb , " slm cried. "It's all right ! You saved them , you Raved them ! Oh , Dobl" Homing up , ho pulled back the lover nnd lifted Danton to the middle of the floor ; then , pushing the arm back to Its proper place , fell In a henp beside his poor friend's body. "Al , Al. " ho cried , but there was no re sponse. The Iron bar had left Its mark on D.inton's forehead , nnd the lover had crushed Its way Into the side ot the head , leaving fearful , ghastly wounds. "Oh , God , Margy ! I'vo killed him ! Poor Al ! " "No , Deb , ho breathes , he llvoi ! " mo-mod the girl. "Wo must get him home. I'll gofer for help. There comes another train , Deb !

It has ! eng been our boast , pays the Scientific American , that America was nblo to produce bettor results In the technical field than these duo to any other nation ; oven where hand work Is concerned , this Is believed to hold true In many respects. It It Is simply a question of adhering to tradi tion and of reproducing the products orig inated by past generations , the foreign work man may equal or surpass the American , Dut It has long been remarked that where originality and an ability of thinking and working on Independent lines' IB Involved , the foreign highly specialized workman yields to the more Independent American mechanic , as to ono less hampered by tra dition. Thus wo find our country abound ing In self-made men who began nl the lathe and bunch , and now own nnd conduct great factories. Their Independent habits of thought have opened for them their careers. Inventiveness , the great American charac teristic , has had much to do with this stale of affairs. The constant striving after In vention , the Introduction of Ingenious ma chines and labor-saving processes , has rele gated the old country machlno-llko work man to the past. His work is done here by machinery , and those who attend the ma chines may bo destined to bo the Inventors of others designed to surpass them. Whllo hand-made goods , from their very Imperfections , have a charm for the artist , the every-day user appreciates rather the constant good quality at macliine-mado articles. Our superior methods have given us the power of conipetlng tinder prelim inary unfavorable conditions with the cheapest labor of foreign countries. It Is a question how long the supremacy of our methods will last. Foreign competitors In the Industrial world have for some time past realized the fact that certain Amer ican-made articles sell better than their own ; Indeed , they find a similar state of things obtaining In many lines of manufactures. One way of meeting the case Is resorted to in the production ot counterfeit American goods. Discreditable as It Is there la no question that extensive operations ot the character have been carried on. But a more honorable way of meeting what seems to bo a true emergency has been adopted. English manufacturers now send over students ot our manufacturing pro cesses , In the persons of Intelligent young men , who enter our shops as workmen and labor there , studying meanwhile , and learn ing all the details of our shop and manu facturing processes. The United States Is , In fact , treated as a technical school. The mon sent pass from one factory to another , so as to get a good view of different processes. Then they return and , use tholr knowledge to advance their own homo Industries. In almost every field ot technical work America has won renown. It Is now evident that our neighbors are determined to find out why this Is , and the placing of students In our shops Is a tribute ot the highest value to our methods of work.

The lire was beyond control. Something must be done. Outwardly calm , but with a face whoso ghastly paleness * mocked the mechanical binilo It wore , the loading tenor stepped In fiont ot the curtain.
