"' ' ' A recent dispatch from Chicago tells of an express train, carrying score of pas sengers, running for miles w ith the 'cold ihanrt of the. dead engineer grasping -the throttle. Like matiy other true Incidents, the tory is wirder than any fiction. The en gineer was at his post on his side of the cab, his head out of the window, his hand on the throttle. The fireman was attending I to his duties, tossing coal into the furnace 'and now and then giving a blast of the whistle. Once or twice he spoke to the . engineer and got no answer, but he sup- posed his cabtnate was not In a talkative mood. 1 As the train approached a station where it was wont to slop the fireman gave a long blast on the whistle, the signal that a stop was to be made. But the train sped on with unalackenlng speed. Not until It had gone past the station like a flash did the fireman's suspicious become , atroused. 1 "What the matter. Bill?" he asked, "We j oughter stopped there." I There was no response, and the now frightened fireman placed his hand on the ( engineer's shoulder. He withdrew it with a yell when he found the man's body stiff in death. With a presence of mind born 1 of a life of danger, the fireman quickly reversed the lever and brought the train to a stop. i How long the engineer had been dead is i not known, but It was probably a half I hour or more.

Not many years ago a valuable cup was won in a bicycle race in Australia by a man who was dead when he passed the winning post. The race took place before a crowd estimated at 10,000 persons.

Amid the frantic cheers of the spectators he sped past the goal, winning the race by a few yards or more, when he pitched forward from Ills machine. When he was picked up ho was dead, and doctors declared the spark ot life left his body when he was seen to lose his grip on the handlebars. It was a lifeless body that had crossed the line a winner.

Of all the stories of the days of chivalry none is more interesting than that how the Cid Campeador, "God's scourge up; the Moors." won a battle after death. T ('Id died at Valencia and before death di rected that his body be taken to Castile. Just about this time a mighty army lay slLge to Valencia, but the story is best told in the quaint language of the chron icler. "Three days after the Cid had departed this life King Bucar came Into the port of Valencia and landed with all his power, which was so great that there Is not a man In the world who could give account of the Moors he had brought. And there came with him thirty and six kings and one Moorish queen, who was a negress; and she brought with her 200 horse women, all negresses like herself, all hav ing their hair shorn save for one tuft on the top, and this was in token that they came as if upon a pilgrimage and to ob tain the remission of their sins; and they were all armed In coats of mail and with Turkish bows. King Bucar ordered his tents pitched around about Valencia and Abenalfarax, who wrote thla history in Arabic, salth that there were full 15,000 tents. And he bade the Moorish negress, with her archers, to take their station near the city. And on the morrow they began to attack the city, and they fought against It three days strenuously; and the Moors received great loss, for they came blindly up to the walls and were slain there. And the Christians defended themselves right well, and every time that they went upon the walls they sounded trumpets and tam bours, and made great rejoicing, as the Cid had 'commanded. This continued for eight days or nine, till the companions of the Cid had made ready everything for their de parture, as he had commanded. And King Bucar and his people thought that the Cid dared not come out against them, and they were the more encouraged, and began to think of making bastlles and engines there with to combat the city, for rertes they weened that the Cid Ruydles dared not come out against them, seeing that he tarried so long. rianntnat the Charge. "All the while the company if the Cid mere preparing all things to ge Into Cas tile, aa h had commanded before his death, and his trusty Oil Dial did nothing else but labor at this. And the body of the Cid was prepared after thla manner: First, It was embalmed and anointed, aa the history has already recounted, and the virtue of the balsam and myrrh was such that the flesh remained firm and fair, having its natural color, and his eountenanre aa it was wont to be, and his eyes open, and his long beard In order, so there was not a man . who would have thought him dead If he had seen him and not known it.

" coats, ideas at in our at a frame; and he dressed the body In a gambax of fine sendal next the skin. And he took two boards and fitted them to the body, one to the breast and the other to the shoulders. These were so hollowed out and fitted that they met at the sides and under the arms, and the hind one came up to the poil and the other up to he beard, and these boards were fastened to the saddle so that the body could not move. All this was done by the morning of the twelfth day, and all that day the people of the Cid were busy in making ready their arms, and, with loading beasts with all that they had, so that they left nothing of any price In the whole city of Valencia, save only the empty houses. "When it was midnight they took the body of the "id, fastened it to the saddle as it was, and placed it upon his horse, Bavleca, and'fastened the saddle welland the tmdy sat so upright that it seemed as If he were alive. And It had on painted hose of black and white, so cunningly painted that no man who saw them would have thought but that they were greaves and cuishes, unless she had laid his hand upon them; and they put on It a surcoat of green sendal, having his arms blazoned thereon, and a helmet of parchment, which was so cunningly painted that everyone might have believed It to be Iron, and his shield was hung around his neck, and they placed his sword Tlbona in his hand, and they raised his arm and fastened it up so subtilley that It was a marvel to see how upright he held the sword. And the Bishop Ion Hieronymo went on one side of him and .the trusty Gil Dlar on the other, and he led the horse, Bavleca, aa the Cid had commanded him. Knemy Overwhelmed. "And when all this had been made ready they went out from Valencia at midnight, through the gate of.- Roscros, which Is toward Castile. Pero. Bermudea went first with the banner of the Cid, and with BOO knights, all chosen men, and beiiind them' Ponna Ximena with all her company, and COO knights in the rear. All these went so silently and with such a measured pace that It seemed as if there were only a score. And by the time that they had all gone out it was broad day. "Now Alvar Fanez Minaya had set the host in order, and while the Bishop Ion Hleronymo and Gil Diaz led the way with the body of the Cid and Dona Ximena and the baggage, he fell upon the Moors. First he attacked the tents of the Moorish queen, the negress, who layest nearest the city; and this onset was so sudden that they killed full 150 Moors before they had time to take arms or go to horse. But that Moor ish negrees was so skillful in drawing the Turkish bow that It was held for a marvel, and it Is said that they called her in Arabic Nuguewmat Turya, which Is to say the Star of the Archers. And she wss the first to get on horseback, and with some fifty that were with her did some hurt to the company of the Cid; but they slew her, and her people fled to tha'camp. And so great was the uproar and confusion that few there were who took arms, but instead thereof they turned their backs and fled toward the sea. . , "And .when King Bucar and his kings vaw this they were astonished. And It seemed te them that there came against them on the part of the Christians full 70. 000 knights, all white as snow; and before them a knight of great stature upon a white horse with a bloody cross, who bore in one hand a white banner and In the other a sword which seemed to be qf fire, and he made a great mortality among the Moors.

LOST HIS NERVE SOMEWAY Melancholy Plight of Denver Man Too Anxious to Please. A quiet, bashful sort of a young fellow was making a call on a Capitol Hill girl one evening not to very long ago, when her father came Into the parlor with his watch in his hand. It was about 9:30 o'clock. At the moment the young man was standing on a chair, straightening a picture over the piano. The girl had asked him to fix It. As he turned the old gen tleman, a gruff, stout fellow, said: "Young man, do you know what time it Is?" The bashful youth got off his chair nerv ously. "Yes sir," he replied. "I was Just go ing." He went Into the hall without any de lay and took his hat and coat. The girl's father followed him. Aa the caller reached for the doorknob the old gentleman again asked him If he knew what time ii was. "Yes. sir," was the youth's reply. "Good night." And he left without waiting to put his coat on. After the door had closed the old gentle man turned to the girl. "What's the matter with that fellowV" he asked. "My watch ran down this after noon and 1 wanted him to tell me the time, so that I could set It." Denver Post. SPEAKING 0FFISH STORIES What Happened to n Fisherman Who Introduced Novelty lu Bait. Mark Twain's famous Jumping frog story concerns chiefly a practical Joke played on the frog. But the present story, told by a contributor to Recreation for April, narrat es how a frog got the laugh on a fisherman, who was using it as bait to catch bass. "This happened last fall." says the story teller, "when I was fishing with Fteve Crump on a Ijtile bass stream near Ocean pond, in Georgia. It was a little late In the season, but Steve insisted that a good, lively frog would prove a dainty morsel that no bass even if he were frozen stiff could resist, and he set out to find on. He found a good one, put him on the hook, and sat down on the mossy bank to await results. The frog was active enough, but the bass did not seem to appreciate frog's legs that day. for not a strike did Steve get. The sun was' warm, the air balmy and Kteve became drowsy. I don't know what dreams passed through his brain, but one of them must have been that he had a strike, for I saw him start suddenly and give his rod a yank. Not feeling the ex pected resistance on his line, he awoke. He looked in the water, but could ace no line. j " 'Must have been a whopper to be able lo oreaa inn new wne, ne pioomjr thought.

Just then he heard a triumphant croak above his head, and looking up into the tree under which he had been lying, he saw his frog sitting comfortably on a limb! "Pteve was pretty much surprised, and thought at first that he had been 'hung up' by that la.st vicious yank of his rod. But I had seen the whole performance and knew Just what had happened. Soon after Kteve fell asleep, I saw his frog stealthily swim ashore and climb the nearest tree. Steve had plenty of slack line out and Mr. Frog managed to wind it several times around the limb, and eat there resting himself when Steve awoke. But Steve wouldn't believe It and accused me of treachery. He even wanted me to climb that tree and 'unwind' his frog'."
