* _ _ _ _ _ _ _
From my youth up a locomotive has
always possessed a strange fascination
for me , and I have never tired of
watching its whirling wheels and
listening to its regular breathing as it
has passed me by at stations. To my
fancy , it seems a living incarnation of
.the spirit of progress , a herald sent
from the court of Time to announce
thcrmarching of the wonderful ages
yet to come , and"clad , like a knight
of old in a coat of glittering mail , the
very wheels that are crushing out the
miles beneath their ponderous rims ,
hum in an undertone a song of
triumph which , ere it dies away.upon
the air , is hurlel back in broken
echoes from the slender rail over which
{ he monster runs , and amid the noise
Df the steam escaping Jroui its cylin
ders X almost fancy that I can heartho
whispered word Excelsior which-
the motto of the country. There -is
something almost human in its cries
of rage as I dashes pell-mell across
the'-level plains , or labors with smoth-
fSreirgroans up the mountains. How
many times I have .watched it as it
darted by me like an arrow , and
wondered at the genius of the man
ivho dared fate with such an invention.
At such time the smoke-begrimed
driver , too , has come in for no small
hare of my attention. Ho is a hero ,
: ven though he do s rip out a savage
ath.1 now and then , and wears a
greasy blouse instead of a broadcloth
oat. Leaning out from his cab win-
low as he rushes along in the sun-
hine and the darkness , he can almost
ouch hands with the pale horse-man
iding by his side. There is nothing
Between him and the gate that leads
'rom life save 'a ' slender rail that
ireaking beneath the hurrying whesls
if Jiis cliariot would usher him into
Death's court in the twinkling of an
aye , and jet he whistles as cheerily
is though ho were seated upon the
iteps of his cottage home. "Ah ! but , "
hear you say , "it is his business. "
True , my dear sir , so it is ; but the
nan who looks death coolly in the
ace day after- day , whether it be for
jam or glory , from the open window
f Tin engine cab or the wheelhouse of
, river steamer , is after all a hero
; hough the heroism may bo of so com-
; uon"a kind as to attract but little at-
ention from their fellow-men until'
t is brought forcibly to their notice
jy the report'of some terrible accident
So nuch by way of an introduction.
It was one night in the latter part
> f November in the year 187 , that I
teed in the depot at Buffalo , N. 1. ,
waiting-to see Uncle Sam's new - hobby
by , the'fast mail , come in over the
Central road and take its departure
wet bver the lake Shore. For soxo
reason it was nearly an hour late , and
I therefore liad plenty of time to look
abBut , me. Walking slowly down
through tne depot I paused by the
side of the engine , Jd. L. Xansing ,
ivhich , was'totakethcr "trainwestward
Ill-its flight , and Tjfoppcd'for a quiet
hat with the engineer , old John M ,
a great personal friend of mine , and
as wild a runner as ever laid a hand
upon a.throttle. To use his own ex
pression , he would "jest as lievo go
into etarnity et sixty miles an hour
as thirty-five ez long ez he'd got to go
anyway , " and judging from some of
, ho fast runs with which he was cred-
ted the saying was a true one. "Wo
had been chatting but1 a few moments
'together when lie asked me how I
would like to ride to Erie with him ,
mentioning by way of inducement ,
that he had orders to make fast time
with a clear track the -way through ,
and he just meant to "douse her , you
bet ! "
As I liad been longing for just sucl
an opportunity as this since the first
appearance of the "Lightning run , "
asit was termed , I unhesitatingly ac
cepted the invitation and climbed into
old John's place by the window , and
scarcely had J done so before the de
layed train came stealing into the de
pot In a few moments the mails
were aboard and the Lansing was
made fast to the four white" cars , each
one of which had
- - eagles paarched upon its etdc ,
Strange passengers for such a ride.
Then came the signal for. the start ,
and as old John touched the lever the
train moved slowly out from the depot
and towards the outskirts of the city.
It was not until we had struck the
open country that the run fairly com
menced , and then , with a laugh in his
eyes , the old fellow told mo to look
out and pulled the throttle wide open.
For a moment the monster seemed to
Ireihblo undcr-my feet , and -then wo
darted off like an arrow. The trunks
"of the trees lhat stood by the side o :
the track , seemed trans
formed into solid walls
The fences wer6"narrow"strip * of rib
bon fluttering in the wind. The tele
graph poles became forests as we
passed by , and tfe" ] haysfacks lef
"standing in the "brown fioldg were al
waltzing together. For a moment , nv
heart scemod.tQ.ccasc.its beating , am
I "looked at the engineer. Ho was
wliistling to himself and as a cool as a
cucumber.Then , as the wild rush
grew wilder , I , too , began to grow
reckless and enjoy the race. Looking
straight ahead through the cab windows
dews a house , would loom up right in
our path , and then as wo struck tlio
curve , it would sail off to one side on
a sea-of air. Ifaw , a long bridge came
on right ahead , and I looked for him
to slacken the speed a little. Not a
bit of it Bridge's , curves and frogs
were all the same to him. Instinctive
ly I grasped the scat with a firm grip
as wo darted on to it with a rattlinj
sound like the rolling of musketry
and held my breath until we were safe
on .the other side. Than as a sigh o
relief escaped my lips , JLJeaned. over
and said :
"John ' , how fast arc you running
now , do'you think ? "
"About fifty-five miles an hour , !
reckon , but 'fore we git tor Erie , Tn
a goin" to show you that the Lansinj
taii traycl a mile a minute in spite o
what these railroad sharps say to the
contrary. "
"How largo a driving wheel have
you got ? " queried L
"Just exactly five feet eight inches , '
he answered , "but I her run a mile a

Dismounting from the engine , which
was left in charge of the fireman , old
ohn and myself went over to the
lotel for supper , and then after wo
had stowed away a square meal we ro-
5aired to his room , where wjth the
lid of a pitcher of ale and some cigars ,
wo proceeded to make ourselves com-
ortablo by the cheerful fire that
ilazod brightly in the little old-fash-
oned grate.
Soothed into a feeling of content
ment by the weed and mellowing in
fluences of the ale , the old fellow ,
after a great deal of urging on my
lart , told mo the following true

"Now , I don't ask fer yer ter bo

jut I'll tell yo a strange thing that
iappened to mo once , when I "was a
oed deal younger than I am nowand
kin date my gray hairs Bright from
hat time.
"It was nigh onto eighteen years ago
fiat I was runnin an engine on the old
ir line , out of T - , an' as careless
foliar ez ever stepped onto a foot-
ward. I was pullin' a night run an'
lad'for a fireman a little Irishman who
as afraid of nothin' , God , man or
evil , and whose only ambition was to
o through life a flying , though I will
say for him that he wasn't a bit af eer'd
' work and kept the brass works of
lie old Ajax as bright as a new
in. One night in the middle o'
lie winter , when the snow was a
whirling and drifting , down to
, arth in great clouds , we pulled out o'
do depot at T - with the fast night
xpress nearly two hours late , and
with orders to run her through to
fast . Somehow
j - as as possible.
wasn't feeling good that night.
'here ' was something whispered to mo
hat tliar was trouble ahead , but once
lear of the city and dashing along the
rails , I began to feel better , and as wo
anced along , trying to make up a
itlo of the lost time , I' laughed and
eked with the fireman about the girls
for ho had one , that feller , at eery
tation on the line , and they used to
et up nights , too , for to see him
vhen he went by. It were about as
ark a night as ever I seed. Looking
ut the winder you couldn't see a foot
afore your face. It was worser than
a slack of black cats. The headlight ,
0 be sure , lit up the track ahead for
wentyor thirty yards , but beyond
hat ye couldn't see a thing. We
lidn't hev many stops to make
n that run , so there wasn't
much for me to do but to keep my
eye 'on the gauge and see the steam
didn't give out. Ther' wasn't but one
> ad place on the whole Jine , and that
vas the big bridge leading over the
1 - river , and ez wo went hurry-
ng along toward that and a gettin'
closer every minute , somehow I .got
or to thinking what a terrible thing
t 'uld "be for a train to go through that
mdge and a wondering how many
ives 'uld bo lost ef it did.
"Tho more I thought of it and the
nearer we got to the river the more
nervous I became. My fireman
noticed it too , and that made it worse.
few , just afore mo came to the bridge ,
har was a big curve , an" ez I was
a-looking out of the winder and
.traight ahead I seed a woman all in
vhito standing on the curve and
a-waving her arms at mo for to stop.
't didn't take me more'n a second for
ter whistle brakes , reverse the engine
and shut her off , but when I
ooked out o' the winder again
; he woman had gone. Slowly
we came to a standstill , and then the
conductor and the passengers came
a-running up for to see what was the
; roublo. I told 'em what I had 'seed ,
and taking my lantern I started out
with the conductor ahead to see what
wo hed stopped for. Thar' wasn't a
single footprint on the snow that wo
could find nor a rail out of place , and
he bridge was all right. The boys
aughed at mo for stopping , and some
o' the passengers cussed mo for a fool ,
sut I didn't care for that. I stuck to
.t I seo'd the woman , but they axed
mo what I hed for supper. Now them
days I didn't believe in ghosts , an'
don't generally now , but this thing
kind o' beat me. I didn't say much ,
but climbed into my place , and it
warn't long afore we had crossed the
bridge and were running faster than
ever. That ninlit , after wo had got
to C - , the fireman and I talked it
over , for ho seo'd it as well as mo , but
"we couldn't como to no agreement re
garding it , for ho were a believer in
spooks an' sperits , and I won't. "
T'A couple o' nights afterward wo
caught the same run , an' , if anything ,
no worsor weather than wo had hat
aforo. I remembers it % vero bitter
cold , so cold that the rails kept a stir-
gin' like mad under the whuols , and ]
had to run with the windows all shui
down to keep from froezin' into a
statuq oi ) the boot-board. The nigh I
were clear , but terrlblo windy , am
running over some , o' thorn prairies ' -
looked for a gust to blow the train into
the ditch , engine an' nil , It just hap
pened , too , that wo were delayed a1
some o' the stations along the line
and had to run like the devil fcr to
make .up the time that wo had lost
The conductor , an1 by the way ho were
the same follor I had had afore , wai
a cross old curmudgeon that hac
more enemies than friends along the
line o' the road , an * a man that jiato
for to bo behindhand the worst sort o
-a way. To tell the truth , ho were a
littlg soaiy , an' didn't like to ride oi
a train tljat was a raging fgr to catch
time. At ono of the stations where
we stopped for water he came a-walk-
in' up to me ez I was oiling , and said
" 'John , for God's sake , don't see no
ghosts on the hjg curve to-night
we're behind enough already , '
" 'Alright Jim ! ' said L If I see 'en
I'll run 'em down eh' "
"Ho didn t niaKo no answer to that
but walked back and gave -tho signa
to "go ahowL " , , The old girl steaijio (

afore we was tearing along the rails

Tie were the maddest man I over seed.
Ho gushed njo fgr a.11 the different
kind o' fools that were in the dictjqnt
ary , while the pasaengerg just stood
'round an1 laughod.
"As for mo , .1 didn't say. nothin'
back , for I couldn't T know'd ,
though , that me and the fireman , had
see'd suthin' , and I know"d that that
suthjn' TOS a woman , but whether f
were a ghost or not I uidnjt knoifj fcn'
after Chlrikin1 the matter D.YCJJ : I came
to the co'n'slusijm tiiart wouldn't bo
foslcd that way again , anyhov , , '
"Of course , whenweroaohod C - * * y
and the conductor made his report , he
mentioned the matter , -and the result
was that I got orders' 'for to visit the
office. Old KcrnalB - was our
superintendent and a mighty strict
one , an' lather sxpestefl tlt < I were
a-goin' t6 get.the . .bounce , but I didn't
I told him just what I had seo'd , and
the Irishman told him the same thing.
He laid it to our 'magination , . but !
could sec that ho wore a little put out
hisself , though ho told me mighty
plain afore I left that cf I couldn't
make the time on that run he'd have
to put on somebody that could.
"As you kin'magino , I Trent out
mad , and I swore that whether it were
woman , ghost or devil , I'd run it down
the first time it showed up tor give mo
a chance , and what made it worse was
that my being stopped by nothin' was
told all along the line , and everybody
was a-makin' fun of mo.
"At last they made it so not for mo
with their joking thot I couldn't
stand it , and I asked for two weeks'
leave of absence , hoping that by the
time I came back the hull thing would
have blown over. Wall , I got it , an'
was agoin' to start the next morning ,
when one of the boys was taken sick
and I was ordered for to take his run ,
an' agin it wore the cussed night ex
press , an' this time four hours an' a
half late.
"When I climed into the cab that
night I found a new fireman , for the
Irishman had refused to go. Great
God , what a night it were ! It had
been thawing for two days , and just
afore wo pulled out o * the depot it had
started to rain. The water came
down in bucketsful , just -as if some
devil had knocked the whole bottom
put of God's cistern ; and talk about
its being dark , young feller , it were
the darkest night I ever saw , and if
the blackness thet Moses sent down
over Egypt were any worse nor thet ,
I'm sorry for old Herod , that's all.
I wan't in very good humor , an' when
old Jim passed me on the platform
an' muttered something about
ghosts , I jest ripped out an oath
an'swore I would stop for nothin' .
"Things went wrong from the start ,
aa they generally do when a man loses
his temper. The old Ajax wouldn't
make steam , an * as a result we jest
kept on losing time. The fireman was
a greenhorn , an' so I hed to do the
most o' the work myself. Then that
darn ghost o' mine kept a gettin' into
my head- , spite o' all I could do , an'
the nearer we came to the river the
more I were a wonderin' ef she would
show up. It warn't no use lookin' out
the winder , 'cause you couldn't see
nothin'anyhow , except right in the
glare o' the headlight. I couldn't tell
where wo were only by guessing , till 1
heard , over the noise made by the en
gine , the roarin' o' the river , an' then
I knowed that I must bo a roundin'
the big curve. I hadn't seo'd nothin'
yet o' the woman , an' I was hopin' I
wouldn't , though I didn't mean to payne
no attention to her cf I didwhen sud
denly glancing out ahead , I see'd her
a standing right in the glare o' the
icadlighta movin" her bare anus and
a pointin' ter the river.
"In spite o' all I'd said an' afore I
cnow'd what I were a doin' I hed
reversed the old Ajax and whistled
for brakes. Then as the train slowly
came to a stop I stepped out with the
antern , but just as afore the woman
: iad gone. I don't know what it was ,
Dut suthin' whispered to "me to take a
! ook at the bridge , an' I started down
iho track lamp in hand for to do so.
"Aforo I reached tliar , however ,
old Jim had caught mo and naked
what wes the trouble. I told liim the
same old story , an' ho cussed as usual ,
but jest as ho were on the point o'
callin * me a fool we came to the river ,
an" well the bridge was gene an *
lie didn't finish the sentence.
"I was pretty wet , but in spite o'
that I jest knuckled right down be
tween the rails and thanked God for
? ivin' mo a warnin' . Ez fer old Jim
lie turned dead white , and went to
crying , but the first thing he did when
lie could speak was to bog my pardon
tor the cussin's he'd give me. If ye
jver set'd a thankful set o' passengers
it war them I was a pullin' . Some
: ried , some prayed and s mo laughed ,
but thar wani't a man on the train
that made any fun of old John. "
"Was it a ghost oldman ? " I queried ,
as ho bit the end off a fresh cigar.
"It warn't a livin' woman , that's
certain , " ho answered , "an1 yo can
call it a ghost or not , just as you liko.
Ono thing sartain , whether it were a
