O'Orady laughed behind his open hand
to show surprise mingled with contempt.
"An" Is that hon" yez talk to th' comp'ny's

climbed Into the caibooso. Far down among
4ho swltclistaiijs the conductor held up a
handful of running orders , and signaled 4hc
engineer out of town. McCormlck , leaning
from the cab , caught a copy of the order ,
yelling to the conductor as ho did so ,
"O'Grad'y'a In the dog house. "
"Damn O'Grady , " slid the conductor. The
long stilng of loads rolled past , and the
captain , squatting llko a squaw at her cookIng -
Ing , Inspected the brake rigging of the pass-
Ins cars. The train was making fifteen
miles an 'hour ' when the way car came by.
and the .captain swung himself aboard prc *
clsely. arid with as much apparent case ae
though the car had been standing still. .The
rear brakeman was leaning from the cupola ,
throwing signals to a switch tower and
kisses to' the head .waitress of the Fly Line
Jiotel , flvo blocks away.
EXCHANGING CIVILITIES.
"Why don't you throw this terrier off ? "
yelled the canductor.
"Which one ? " asked the brakeman , laughIng -
Ing down the ladder.
"That's no terrier , " said O'Gnidy , remov
ing his brief cigar. "He's a terrow bred. "
"Where the devil you going , anyway ? "
"Totho dlvll , " said the dog 'man.
"Put him off at O'Grady's. then , " said the
conductor , tlirowlng himself In'o the only
chair and the only piece of furniture that Is

Presently 'the whistle sounded , and

O'Qrady , looking at the dead dog , tot * he was
greatly sobered by the fall. When the sun
was going down , golden In the west they
made a little grave In ( he garden , and there
wcro tears that evening on the pup's bier and
In Tcrrance'e.tea. For many months McCor-
mlck went by without whistling for O'Qrady's
spur or waving a passing salute to O'Grady ,
and O'Grady , putting the pup's blood upon
the engineer's hands , turned his back as the
local roared putt. Tt they ntopped to set In
an empty or pick tip a load , O'Grady tent the
foreman down with the bill , and Btaycd hid
In. the brickyard.
The local crew had mlsssd O'drady , and
knew that ho had left the train. They saw
him limping" about the brick yard next day ,
, and knew thattio'MudtUrvlvcd : , but that was
all they kuow. about It , and It O'Qrady had
known how little they knew be could hove
forgiven a grcl dcnl , , but his pride was
"hurled , " to say nothing of the pup that
had bren "kllt. . r Tim local , ho observed ,
'could do without O.'Q/ady , but O'Grady could
not do without' Iho locM.
A'POLOGIES AOCEOTED.
From O'Qrady'a spur to Buffalo was fifteen
miles. From Hufr.nlo back again wns fifteen
miles , sc O'Grady decided to accept the
'apology of the engineer , forgive the past , nnd
ride. But McCorralck would not apologize.
Ho told O'Qrady to "chaso himself , " and
there wan another Ions , toy pell for 0 Qrady.
One day a light engine backed In on the
spur to pass a train , and the brick 'merchant '
worked the driver for a ride to the city
limits , Ho'told the man In confidence the
story of the pup. The man roared with
laughter and wan glad he had permitted
O'Qrady to ride. So the story of O'Grady's
gutting -reached-1 the cars of tlic local
crow on the following day and while Mc-
Cormlck Av'as still laughing O'OraJy came
down the truck. He had hU lank full nnl
a flutter In the stack as he slowed down and
faced the. engineer.
"Phat way are yc-z feelln' th' day , Mc-
Cormlclc , " fce began. "Ccine , nx me pardon
and I'll furglv * yez. "
"Ah , go ahn ! " said -MeConnlck , suppres
sing his TCilrth , for his mind would run on
the mud puddle and the pup.
O'Grady .gazed , ; xt the 'engineer for ; .
moment with A look of iSieep disgust and
then , lifting the basket of eggs that he had
left on the end of a tie , trailed -back to the
way-cur. t -
"Keep offthe1 grass , O'Grady , " raid Mc-
Cormlck , but the brick maker ignored him.
It was the''day before Christmas and
Grady wculd , have eggnogg always on Christ
mas eve , The conductor signaled all right
anil iMLCoroilckpulled out. Ho had a long
string of empty flats for a stone man , an
empty box for , O'Grady's spur , and various
'
other cars'i'.aujLfreight for all the flag stations
on tlllAlUrUwoV J ,
"O'.Gra 'j oboard , " he shouted as ho
snatraed d"coby of the running orders from
the conductqr. > ajd the conductor , recalling
the story > ot'-O'Grady nnd the bull pup ,
smiled up attho ? engineer , but said nothing.
The big mogul -had picked them up so that
by the time the way-car came along they
were making twenty poets , and It was as
much as the -conductor could do to got
aboard. The brakeman and Hie brlckmaker
were having an animated argument as to the
right ofsmall shippers 'to travel on the com
pany's trains without paying faro , when the
conductor came In.
"Now , you eli mud dauber , " began the
captain of the train , "I glvo you notice that
this Is the last tlmo you rldo on the local ,
What do you suppose the company runs
varnished cars for but to carry capitalists to
and fmn their places of business. "
"A-h-h-go t' th1 divll. "
"That's where wo'ro headed , an * If we
were not goingto etop there -anyway , I'd
ditch you right here. "
THE liUNNINOSWITCH. .
All that wca los-t oi O'Grady , for the warm
steve was making him drowsy. Flvo mllcn
out they stopped , unloaded a lot of Christ-
mse goods , aet lei a flat , picked up a load
nnd left fifteen inlautca lato. Again they
were going to the willows for the limited ,
and when Mac whistled for O'Qrady's the
conductor stood on , the top of the caboose
an.ii . signaled him to make a runcdng twitch
to < me time. The head brakeman cut the
traa ! Just In front' of the empty that was
for O'Qrady. the rear brskeman pulled the
pin behind the empty and climbed to the top
to rideIt In o'n the'spur. It would'ic ike
your hair stand to o the train ( allr : r at
twenty mUea an hour Into O'Grady's' In three
sectlcos. The Engineer must fly over the
switch , but' ' eld'w cnoUg'h to allow the head
man to ( all off ; that man must find hie feet
and switch key , -unlock the switch , get It
over to the spur for .the empty ad hick
again to the main' line for the rest of thu
twin. I tell- you It's exciting , and < oo of
the finest Jobs In 'the train , ecrvlce , and BO
quick If you make It go. H the lock hangs
or the switch sticks , then you have to couple
up , back over the switch and' ' do It the slow
way.
way.McCormlck slid over the switch with per-
fet confidence , and nevcn cars with air still
tied lo his tanlqtbo switch went over , the
empty jolted in on the epiir , but when , the
switchman tried to throw the switch up to
the main line again It struck. He beared
and tv\oro and elgtuled the conductor to

Of courrio , | t they had stayed on the railn
line they would foivc had ample room to
stop , the two brakemcn would have 'boarded
the two flata as they slli < past , and by the
tlmo the way car had reached the switch
O'Qrady could have stepped off \vlthout
cracking an egg , .but they were glng I' : , on
the > pur where -the empty had humjied up
against ( our ouu loaded with brick and all
the brakes set. The brakeman shouted -to
bV partner udi stood by. The conductor ,
eeclnp the head cr > thool In on the spur ,
braced biro-self , holding onto a lirakewtieel
at lh reir nd' ' of p. flat car.
Bock Int the 'caboose O'Grsdy , with the
baiket of egg * 10 front of him , stood In the
back door looking at the two strips of
te l that were clipping out from under thn
w y car , The car w s heavy with the odor
of alcohol. U U no exaggeration to nay
that If O'Orady had breathed Into hla basket
he might have h d three dozen eggB-noggs ex
tra strong. Dul ho was breathing out Into
the- open world , with both bonds holding the
handle of the basket that crossed his anat
omy about where the Arab wears his sash.
So stood O'Grady when the collision oc
curred. When car after car had taken up
Its slack and finally It rome In lhi caboose.
O'Qrttdy Mas ehot backward the full length
of the long cor , Naturally his head hung
forward and he struck the heavy oak door
at the front end of the car with such force
that his shoulders splintered ji. panel In the
port , and the breath , robust -as ho was , was
all knocked out of blnf. When the crew
cwmo back to look for the deadhead they
found him stuck tas ( lit the 'epllntcrcd door.
and ho was a sight to tc'p. Three dozen eggs
had been smashed In his Reo ? and were
trickling through hla whiskers and down his
front.
When they had pttllod him tram the broken
door they found that hlskrlght shoulder was
broken , but that he was still 'full of fight ,
and cursing McCormlck for Vriaklng an emer
gency etop when It was unnecessary.
"Ah , bo quiet , you old' custard , " eald the
rear brakeman , "you have no business on a
freight train , anyw'ay. "

An EnglUh se.io'Jir has been collecting

He Informs the world that the number o
young Englishmen wuo embrace their sweet-
fhfans at 'the momorit when they are Invlt-
Uig them to become' their wives' amounts to
3C per cent. On tie other Oand , 07 per cent
of the men In love kiss their sweethearts 01
the hps nt Iho critical moment , while 4 per
cent shower kisses i their-nalr and 2 per
cent content themselves with kissing their
hands. A't 01,0 time it was'-the ' .fashion ( or
lovc-lcitoxloitcd youths to' ' fall on their
knees wieu about 'to make proposals
marriage , but this ( fashion 1s 'evidently dying
out , ( or we are assured that only 3 per ecu
of these In love at p.rescut fall on ono J < nee
and only 2 per cent venture to sue for 'the
lady's favor on both knees. A curious
reaEMj has been assigned 'for the decadence
of this chivalrous custom , which is that elate
late yoirs the notber garments of males have
been so constructed that it Is .rather risky
for any man. to flop down suddenly on his
kneea In a woman'a presence. On Mao other
hand , wooers of "today seem , to be far -more
nervous than the gallant men who wooed anc
won a century ago. Twenty per cent of the
English lovers of today are awfully nervous
when the decisive moment comes. The
bciiavlor of the young women Is similarly re
markable. When tile m'eii 'Invite them to

Lawyers are proverbially bad .writers , says
the Cleveland Plain Dealer , So are physl
clana. So are somo. editors. It was Horace
Groeley , however , vjho gave the 'journalistic
fraternity its chlrographlc black eye. Horace
ace never learned to write. When a sorely
puzzled compositor approached him with I
bit o ( bin own copy , he stared at It , , puahci
It ( rom the desk and roared , "What d ( oo
wrote that ? "
But of all the professions , the bwyer takes
the palm for bad penmanship. The clergy
man must write plainly. He Is obliged to
read what he writes , But the lawyer I
bound by no such restrictions.
Not long ago a Cleveland man received a
letter ( rom a lawyer. H reached him In the
afternoon , and when ho , glinccd It over he
found that ho couldn't make head orall ( to
It. It was only a brief , llltlo note on a sllj
