O'Orady \ fond of travel and dogs. Ho taught ono day In Uuftalo what he called .1 "terrow. "bred" bull pup , and started for the freight yards with the pup under his arm and a vast amount of encouiagement undei hla veat. McOormlck , the engineer on local freight , shook Mn oiler at 0'dr.idy and said fd O'Grady : "O'Grady , we've nothln for , t- > . v 0'OnA.pX FLOUNDEHED FORTH , HOLD ING 1-riB LISIP AND LIFELESS PUP. O'Grady'B today , so Mr. O'Orady'll kindly keep off the calrs. " O'Orady laughed behind his open hand to show surprise mingled with contempt. "An" Is that hon" yez talk to th' comp'ny's patrons ? Ycrlittle upstart uv a starter and stopper ! I'll let yez Itnowthat I've some- thin' for O'Grady'B , " and with tlut O'Grady 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 always respected by deadheads oo a way oir. oir.TJO 'tall-flags ' fluttered under the lost BTjltchtower ten minutes late. McCorralck was cutting the bis lever back a notch at each half mlle and Riving her another half Inch of throttle. The black smcko burned blue and dually faded from tbo trembling stack , a white plume of steam stood above tile donit ) , tlo ) w Inflows be&in to tretublo In the woy car , the conductor worked at his narrow desk , the brakeman lounged In t'no window , . \vjjllo O'Orgdy and the bull pup snored , side ty aide , on the locker below , , . iH had ralnctl hard 01 the morning of this wild December day , an ! now 'the ' sun slipped - through the clouds and glanced along the level pools of muddy water tiiat etood on the furrows In the fields and filled the ruts that Pin btiildo Iho wagonways , Look lug back along tiu shaking tides of the bobbing cars , 'McQormlck ' HUW smoke rising from a Imrnlc.u ; box , Qlanclng at his watch ho found'that.ho , Would have 'to " ( an "em" to r.ct to W'ljlow Creek ( or thi > limited , and so the box .would have to burn , O'drady , crowing restless , turned over on the pup , the pup yelled , O'Grady idled and rolled to Iho floor , The couduixor throw himself upon 'tho forward locker to escape * the sight Of tlio. ram Olid the dog , ( or he Intended to Iota them by and. on to Willow Greek. Presently 'the whistle sounded , and O'Grady , glarxiliig out , taw that he wag near- Ing1 hla destination , Holding tiie pup under his .arm , ho walked , unobserved by either of 4)19 ) trainmen , to the rear door and stood 4 rci'Jy to scp ( off. 'Mrs. ' O'Orady had heard the local whittle and now elooJI holdlog the hand of .Utllo Tv'rrunco'O'Grady at lue edge of-'the brick yard as tbo engine came down t a thlrty-flve-mllo gait. The freckles lay on TerraricQ'd ( ice llko autumn leaves on a muddy lot as he milled up at Uio train In cbllJUli anticipation of the promised pup , : PEUILS OP A LOAU. O'Grady'B brain wan not la a condition - -judge'accurately as to the speed of the train , and eo ho made ready to get down as If Jt wore perfectly eife. O'Orady had been drinking. Nothing known to man will In- creasa one's confidence- ) one'a ability to do thjuga at red liquor will , and O'Grady always drunk it red , . 'Wow , may the dlvll fly away wud y z , McCorpi.Irk , " said O'Qrady , standing on the steps of the way car. A moment later he caught tight of Mrs. O'Grady and Terrance .standing In Iho yellow lot , and swinging ono toot down ho let BO. The epeed of the train i nrrltd ui "kicks-kick * , " an Tcrranco would iy , high Ah v tUi level of the step and twisting flllrifctln O'Grady lit on his lett sfaoulder In the middle of A miniature lake ; of liquid brick dust , with the pup undtr him.

" "As well might yez blow In ft tin clnt bal loon that th' Illlphanl's walked ahn , " Mid 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 fltop , The signal ' \ aa to I seen by the cap. ta' i , but he ihad ton the leaning target and wae already twisting brakes for dear life. life.Of 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. " "Haven't oul ?

FIGUHUS l.V I.UVCMAKING. i Why Men Don't Pall on. Tlicli" Knee * UN Kiirmcrly. An EnglUh se.io'Jir has been collecting statistics In regard to the manner In whlcl men and women'make ' love 'to ' each oth r 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 eharo Ujelr homes , clghty-cne out of every hundred fall without a word into the out spread arms cf their chwen oneaj OS pqr cent blush very becomingly , and In maidenly fashion shrink away , as thougii frightened at their companion's boldness rene , out of every hundred , pcwlbly more , possibly less , says our Er.sllslitatletlclan , Dills on a sofa as i about 'to fain- ; , and 4 per cent are rcall > actcnUheil at receiving proposals of marriage On ino ether hand , eighty out ofovcry hundred know very well what the-men have como for , and iienco 'behave ' juct as they should on such a momentous ccoulon Furthermore , CO per cent look their wooers boldly Iti the eyes.

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 ?

Taking these fragments In his band the thought suddenly occurred to film that bero was a substitute for whale bone. It was very tough , exceedingly plldblo and quite durable. Later he visited a factory where they were making feather dusters , using -turkey feathers , wiilch were best adapted to the purpose. All feathers that bad brush only on ono eldo , now known as "turkey pointers , " wore thrown out as luelets , and , gazing at the grcut pile of this waste , Mr. Warren wondered If three dis carded quills could not be put to some good ure.
