Having caton n hearty breakfast of
cornboof haflh ar.d johnny cake , Proaidont
Meveland put on his hat and overcoat
and strode toward the front door of the
white bonao.
' 'Your excellency/ ' cried Secretary Lament
mont , "whoro are yon going at tills early
ioar of the morning ? It is hardly 5
o'clock. "
"I am going for a abort walk , " replied
the president. " 1 will he back hy 7:30 :
in plenty of time to read the paper ,
took over my mall , write a proclamation
or tire , and make out a list of nomina
tions before the scimto convenes. I am
going around to Ilia various department
to see If my cabinet cdicers have caught
the spirit of the administration and have
returned to tha Arcaciaiuhnpllcity of the
Jacksnnian opooh. "
And with these words President Cleveland
land opened the front door and issued
forth In the raw , chilly air of tbo March
motnlng. The brisk breeze blowing frou
the southeast ooro to his oars the falnl
echo of the din of hammers busily cm
plopod in the distant navy-yard at the
good work of restoring American
oovcreignty on the waters of the globe.
The Hunts in the treasury dopnittncn ;
were dim , yet every room was lighted
up , and it was evident that all hands wore
at work lu accordance witlu Secretary
Manning's order that all employes of the
civil tcrvico should report for duty a
4:30 : n. m. every week day. Prcsidpn
Cleveland entered the treasury building
and asked the janitor where Col. Man
ning was to bo found.
iVHo la down in the vaults conntlng
the money , " said the janitor , "and ho
cannot bo disturbed. "
Mr. Cleveland expostulated , and wa
compelled to disclose his identity before
the janitor would listen to him. Bu
being satisfied at last that the visitor wa
really the president , the janitor conducted
od him through devious passages , down
winding etalrwaya , and under curloa
moats , until finally the labyrinthlni
vaults were reached. Hero , snrronndoi
by piles of shining gold and silver pieces
sat the secretary of the treasury counting
the national hoard by the dim light of a
candle.
"I am sorry you came , " said the socra
tary to the president , "for I really have
so much work to do that I have no time
to talk. "
Then Mr. Cleveland observed that Col
Manning was attired in naught but ai
undrrahirt , his trousers , and a pair o
high-heeled boots.
"Goodl" thought tha president. Then
ho sild aloud : "But where Is the gas
Dan , end why are yon using this wrotchei
tallow dip ? "
"I have had the gas meter taken ou
of the building , " said the accratary
"and have returned to the good oil
democratic simplicity of caudles. B ;
this means the sum of § 00,000 will bo
saved to the country annually. "
"And what are you doing' now"aaketl ?
the president
Counting the money in the treasury' '
replied Col. Manning. "I Intend to
know for myself whether and specula
iions have been indulged in by any re
publican predecessors. I have dlscov
ered a number of questionable things
For Instance , I have found the tall foath
era pulled out of a largo number o
eagles on the 1877 coinage of $20 goh
pieces , and I Intend to trace theburglar
ions outrage to its uttermost until the
guilty party is brought to justice. "
"That is right , " said the president am
as he walked away he felicitated himjel
and his country upon having secured the
co-operation of such an honest , fearlots
patriot as the Albany journalist.
In the state department , too , the taw
dry gas filxtnroa had been removed to
make way for the unostentatious candle.
Owing to a dimness of vision , however
Secretary Bayard was compelled to nco i
kerosene lamp , and this atood upon his
white pine table emitting a fragrance
which the-roio of Sharon might have cn-
vlod. Bayard were no collar nor tie.
Ho was in his shirt sleeves , and the pres
ident observed that the shirt was a wool
en one ; only to preserve the necessary
dignity on state occasions the Eocrotsry
wore a white celluloid bosom ; but other
wise his attire was rigidly pluln.
"Yea , I am very busy , " said Mr. Bay
ard , "and I have been hard at work since
3 o'clock this morning. Having abolished
ished the 300 type-writers and forty ,
eight stenographers formerly employed in
thts department , I have my hands full
answering the letters. Here."ho oontin
nod , as ho wearily hid his pale hand on a
mass of crumpled sheets of paper , "hero

William , Dom Pedro , JLi'akaun , Alfonso ,
the czar , Talng-ho , Gen. Barrios , the nh-
koond of Swat , the emir of Bagdool , the
jeguin of Mysore , and a hundred other
.otentatcfl. which must bo answered be-
'oro the noon mail goes out. "
In the navy department , Secretary
iVhUnoy was not to be found. Over a
vork-bonoh in ono corner of the roon
eancd a boy contemplating with awe and
idmlratlon the model of a patent canal
oat which calmly floated on the bosom
of a tub of cistern water.
"Can yon tell mo where to find the
ocrotary of the navy ? " sternly demanded
ho president , who was ovidently'palned
o see ono of the lad's ' years Idling in this
manner.
| ' "Dunno , " replied the boy , "but guess

hall. "
President Cleveland stopped across the
tall and opened a door on which was
> &stod a sheet of paper bearing the writ-
en legand "Private. " Yes , there was
ho secretary of the navy , attired in a
sleeveless Jersey and a pair of white col
on drawers , and engaged at pulling vig
orously at a rowing machine.
"Well , I declare ! " exclaimed President
Hovoland. "What on earth are you
doing ? "
"Learning the business , " replied Sec
retary Whitney , between pulls. "I am
determined to acquaint myself with every
detail of the marine and navy service.
kly arms have grown an inch and a half

about the minnt'iu of the department ,
and I am resolved to put his administra
tion to tbo blush. I am learning to
wlm , and I go to tbo natatorlum twice a
day to take loisoni , "
As the president strolled toward the
war department offices hii bosom heaved
with emotions of exultation.
"How admirably have I chosen my
associates , " he murmured. "On every
land I find irrefutable evidence that the
pirlt of my administration has Infused
very subordinate and co-ordinate

Oa the walls of the war ollico were
Ivors chromoj and lithographic prints of
Hannibal , Alexander , Oa-sir , Napoleon , ;
Israel , Putnam , Zaohary Taylor , Andrew
Jackson , Wlntiold Scott Hancock and
other great generals , also a framed dag.

loot or studied the maps of the Sioux ,
Jto and Modoo reservations , which were
spread ont on the varnished deal tables.
When President Cleveland Inquired
where Secretary Endlcott was ono of the
gloomy sentinels pointed in the direction
if an inner room , and thither the presi
dent drifted. A surprising spectacle
greeted him as bo entered. Secretary
Endlcott , clad only In n blouse and
.rousars of army blue- and wearing a fa-
ilgno cap , stood nt ono end of the room
lolding a cavalry pistol In both hands and
firing at n target at the other end of the
room , The target contistod of the head
} f a barrel , upon which uncertain ring ]
bad boon deicrlbod with white chalk.
"Bangl" wont the big pistol , and the
recoil throw the secretary of war into the
president's arms.
"It is allfired starngo , " explained the
secretary , "but I have fired ever twc
hundred cartridges at that gold-armed
target and I hain't hit it once. I'm n
mighty poor shot don't bollovo I could
bit the side of a mcottu' house but I'm
gain' to keep on try In' till the country
owns np I'm the goldarnodost boit cabinet
not officer they had alnco Uncle Crarrln-
abiold was on dock. "
Then the secretary eat down on tlio
corner of the table and ate his mcdosl
luncheon of nutcakoi * and cheese while
the president talked with him about the
troubles on the Oklahoma border.
"By the way , " aald the president ,
picking up a cartridge from the pile thai
lay on the lloor , ' 'havo you been using
these all the tinu ? "
"Yes , " replied the secretary , mopping
the powder dast and perspiration from
his undaunted brow ; "I've fired moro'n
three hundred of 'em this mornln' . "
"Then it's no wonder you havon't hi
target , " said the president , with an
amused chuckle , "for , my dear fellow ,
these are blank cartrldgeal"
"Well , I sirowl" exclaimed the sec
retary. "You don't aay sol"
President Cleveland chuckled to him
self all the way over to the postofilco de
partment. But ho was proud of his war
secretary , just the same. Endlcott w.-v
honest and earnest ; that was the kind o :
man the era of reform demanded.

calicp dress , was carrying a 300-pounc

"Is Secretary Vilas in ? " inquired the
president.
"No , sir , answered the beautiful being
in the calico , aa she hurried along wltt
the mall sack.
President Cleveland was shocked ; ho
had never suspected Yllas could bo the
the first to grow remiss in his duties
With anguish in his soul , the presldon
entered the attorney-general's cilice. I
was in full blast. The subordinates wore
j-jugod In two semicircles about Gen
Garland , who , in his shirt sleeve was pro
pounding questions upon matters whicl
concerned the Intelligent conduct of the
department. "What Is replevinl" "What
is the jurisdiction of a Missouri justice of
the peace ? " "Explain the difference be
tween do jure and do facto. " What is a
posse comitatus and where in doeo it
differ from the Arkansas possum. '
"What la a change of venue ? " thoae ant
similar interrogatories did the learnet
attorney general put to his class , and the
president was pleased to hear that the re
spouses came quickly and for the greater
part were correct.
"I will not Interrupt them , " thought
the president ; so ho retired noiselessly
and skipped over to the interior depart
ment. All was commotion here anc
Secretary Larnar was busiest of the busy
"Wo have been hard at workainse
daylight , " said the secretary. "You see
I have not had time to brush my hair or
comb my board In fact. I was In snoh
a hurry that I came down town with mj
night-capon. As Horace paid : 'Do ju
vento plnribus noctantur , ' and In the
words of the old Greek Philosopher
Kai teloa opithalmoa gar glgnosko. ' "
The president applauded the enthusi
asm which prevailed. Outside the pen
slon ollico several hundred ono-armec
and wooden-logged veterans were seeking
admittance ; inside the office the crowd c :
old toldlerj was still greater. Standing
on tlptoo and peering over the crowd the
president could sao the pension ccmmia
sloner , Gen. Block , hard at work handing
out bags of money to the crippled pen-
sionore.
" Tia well , " tald President Cleveland ,
smiling. Then ho went back to the post-
oflico department , but Vilns was not
there. This was a ssvero blow an aw
ful shock. President Cleveland brooded
over it and the tears came Into his eyoj.
As ho passed the department of agilcul
ture , ho saw the commissioner in the
jardon watering the tulips and
pruning the young rhubarb
ilants. This sight cheered him
aomowhat , but still the president brooded
ever Yilas' abicnce fium hia post of
duty , and ho indulged In the most mel
ancholy reflections until ho neatly
reached home yea , till ho had come to
ho white honao gate. Then a cheery
whistle startled him from his cad rovtry.
Tjpoking up ho beheld Secretary Vilas
ripping gayly down the walk , carrying a
oathorn bag and whispering a merry air
rom "Falka. "
' 1 have just left a bundle of letters
with Lament for you , " sild Yilas.
"How do you happen to bo hero in
stead of at your post of duty ? " inquired
; ho president , glcomlly.
"Why , when I got down to the office
at 4 o'clock this morning , " explained
Yilas , "I found ono of oar men sick ,
so I concluded to carry his route for him
myself to-day. "
A few minutes later , President Clove-
and having removed his coat , collar and
necktie , ssatcd himself at his desk in the
white house and was ready for work.
' Daniel , " said he to hia private aao-
retary , "I feel encouraged , for I have

A man with gray hair , closely cropped ,
and a clean-shaven chin ml upon the
driver's aeat of a locomotive standing in
the yard. His eyes were keen and gray ,
and despite his scarred cheek , rugged jaw
and firm month there was a gentle , even
sad , expression upon his face. Ho were
a blouse and overalls , and eyed his loco
motive carefully. Ho was the engineer ,
waiting for the signal to back up anc
"hook on" to the fast express.
"Suppose you think a good deal oi
your machine , don't you ) " remarked an
admiring bystander.
"Think a good deal of her ? Why do
you say o ? "
The bvstandor , not encouraged by the
engineer's manner , left the cab and
walked around the engine , admiring the
bright rods , pipes and mechanism the
silent , yet breathing thing of power
Soon ho saw the man in blouse and overalls
alls crawling under the machine with ni
oil-can in his hand , Some oil was drop'
plug in n cup hero and there , a valve or
two inapt a od , a nut tightened or exam
incd , and In another moment tho.t ngiu
oer stood by the s'rangur's ' side. Ho fliu
not forgotten the latter's query , for he
intd ;
"So you think I like her , do yon ? "
And then , after a pause , and in
lower , more mnllow tone
"Why shouldn't I like herl She Is
the only thing on earth I have to love. '
Touched and interested by thesa words
and by the manner in Tflilch they were
aald , the stranger made Inquiries tending
to draw the old man out. Ho succeeded
"No , I have nothing clue to love , " eai (
the rugged engineer ; "I live upon mj
engine , and for her. She it all the work
to mo , I am without wife , child , or ra
lativo. I am alone In this world in ;
engine and mo. Every trip I make witl
her I call my bridal tour. Once but nc
matter about that , " And the gray head
turned aaldo.
"Onco , you said ; won't yon toll mo
what that moans ? "
"Onco , " replied the engineer , his volet
moro hulky than before "that once
means much to mo. It's nothing to yon
And yet any yet it will do no harm to
toll. It la no secret. There Is nothing
to bo ashamed of. "
Hero the engineer draw from his blouse
pocket a big silver watch and glanced a
its face.
"I have eight minutes before the gong
sounds , " ho continued , "and in those
eight minutes I will toll yon what has
been an eternity to mo. Sixteen years
ago I waa n young engineer of thirty
You thought mo older , of course , but'
am only forty-six. I was then engage (
to marry a young lady. I do not need
to tell you how much I loved her ; wha
hopes and ambitions I had for the future
Just then I was promoted from n frolgh
to a passenger engine , but was tram
fcrrcd to the western end of the road
That caused a parting , but wo arrangot
that I was to bo gene three months anc
then return for my brldo. The three
months piaeed slowly enough ; yon are
not old and perhaps yonr own experience
will toll yon what patience mine mu-t
have been. But I saved my money
provided a little homo &t the end of my
run , and waa happy. Notwithstanding
my impatlenco those were the happiea
days of my life. I know I had a rlva
for the lady's affections , but oven thlt
did not worry me , BO great was my con
fidcnco in her.
"When the three months was noarl ; ,
'
up I applied for leave of abccnco , and on'
night was on the next run to the last before
fore I should go east to my wedding. A
B station I had orders to pass , with
ont stopping , No. Cj which was to bt
side tracked for me. Our orders are to
slow up a little for auch passings am
sound the whistle. I did so aa I ap
preached , but heard no answering signal
and supposed all was right. But just a
I rounded the curve leading to the station
I heard warning signals from the whistle
and saw a man with a lantern running to
ward mo and swinging his red Ian ton
across the track. A second glance
ahowod mo the rear cir of No. 5 staad
ing half on the aiding and half on the
main track. It had been derailed by the
ice at the frog. There are times when a
man thinks with the rapidity of lightning
and this is what Hashed through my brain
In making the siding No. G was a minute
or two late , and at the last secern7
the mishap had occurred at the frrg ,
What In twenty seconds more would
have been a clear track for mo wf s now
blocked by a sleeping coach , probably
filled with passengers unconscious of their
danger. In the distance I had to ran
my heavy train could not be stopped , nad
a collision was inevitable. What should
I do ? As I said , all this came to mo
like a flash. At the simo Instant 1 de
cided what to do , and began doing it.
My conrao was as clear to 1113 as If I had
thought it all ovaby the hour. Within
two seconds of the instant I saw the
danger a'gnal ' I had shut off tteam and
set my biakoa htrd down. The next
second I reversed my or glne. The ro
suit of course , waa a great , chock to our
speed. Tbo sot brakes made the long
; rain begin to dr g , after us like a heavy
weight. Then I att my lover ahead once
nore , and pulled the throttle wide opon.
She bounded like a hare , broke the
couplings between the tender and bag-
; ago car , and in twenty , seconds
nero would have crashed Into
ho sleeper had I not again shut
iff steam and reversed , totting the brake
lard on , If you were an experienced
railroad man you would understand why
all this was done. A lone engine can al
ways bo- flopped quickly. In this case
wp stopped our engine almost to a ttand-
till forty feet from the sleeping coach ,
lack of us was the heavy train , coming
ike an alavancho despite the brakes.
Jut by stopping the engine on ahead I
nado the locomotive receive the brunt of
ho train's shook instead of the coach.

ore the train crushed Into the tender my
ireman jumped and was safe. Having

allow him , but a glance ahead at the
Ifoplng car stcmed to atrlko mo numb ,

njury and also the passengers in my own
rain. The only danger was in my cab ,
where in a few seconds would come the
crash. But I could not stir. I lost
all feeling but that of vision.
. saw" here the engineer heel-
ated , but aeon went on in a dea-

Jut I shall never forget the expression

since , "
"Was ahe was there a wreck ? "
Again the engineer looked at hia silver
watch , hurriedly put it in his pocket ,
and resumed :
"Thero waa no wreck at the sleeping
