A TERRIBLE RIDE
1.1111311111115151: one of the bjg railways of
the States as a “cleaner" in an engine
shed
I had been employed 1n the shed at Louis-
ville for about fifteen or sixtoen months
when I went' Qn_ my—_ first trip as'ia fireman.
It was very near being my last.
I firmly believe fill the years of flying
about in an express since I was made an
engineer have not taken as much out of
me as that single turn of an hour and a
half. It occilrmd in this way:
One evening the superintendent at Louis-
ville received a wire from Weston, a sta-
tion about seventy miles down the line, to
send an engine to replace one which had
broken down. He came to the shed and
selected the Gen'. Grant, one of the finest
locomotives on the road. Then he sent
word to the engineer and fireman to come
' on duty and start on their journey at 7
o’clock.
The driver, Ben Norris. was there in .2
good time. and busied himself with his oil
can. But Jim West. the fireman, did not
turn up punctually.
At last, when it‘was near'» the hour for
starting, he came in the shed.
One glance at’his blobdshot eyes and un-
steady walk showed me he was the worse
for drink. {Poor fellowi [knew the cause
of this, and from the bottom Of my heart I
pit-led him. The week before he had lost
his little daughter Kate, and to drown his
grief he had taken'to liquor.
I knew he was perfectly incapable of go-
ing on duty, and I also knew that if he
was discovered in this state it would mean
instant dismissal. »
There was only one thing for it—another
fireman must be found immediately. If
the matter was referred to the superin-
tendent it would be all up with my friend
Jim. From that moment I made up my
mind to take his place myself.
I gave him' 1n charge of one of my mates,
who promised to take him home quietly.
I thought that in a few hours he would
have slept off the effects of the liquor, and
Ileft word to have him come on by the
night train to Weston. I had to explain
matters to the engineer, but he made no
objections to my plan. It struck me at the
time that he took the matter very coolly;
in fact, he seemed perfectly indifferent as 1
to who went with him.
Time was up. I took my place in the
cab. Norris set to work at once and we
moved slowly out of the shed. We were oifl
-1 While in the station I took care to keep
bending down, as if examining the fire, so
that I should not be recognized. But once
clear of the town I stood upright and look-
ed around.
It was a glorioussummer evening. We
skimmed rapidly past meadows and corn
fields, and then dashed along the bridge
over the river. I began to think I would
aljoy the run immensely.
I next turned my attention to the en-
gine. As I ran my eye over the shining
machinery I felt gratified to think that its
neat order was chiefly oWing to my care. I
was proud of the Grant, and wondered if
the time would ever come when I should
have charge of it myself.
I was so elated that I thought my com-
panion ought to be more lively. Ben
seemed to think of nothing but his work.
He stood with his hands on the throttle,
and his eyes steadily fixed on the track
ahead. I made one or two remarks, but
he scarcely answered me. While I was
wondering at his silence he suddenly ap-
peared to rouse himself. He glanced at
the steam gauge, muttered something
which I did not understand, then bent
down and examined the firebox.
“More coal!” he cried in avoice which
almost startled me.
Icomplied without a word. Instead of
throwing in the coal recklessly, which I
knew would only deaden the fire, I piled it
up carefully around the sides. Very soon
the speed of the engine increased. We
were rattling along at a grand rate. I ex-
amined the gauge and saw that the hand
pointed to 195. I could not see the neces-
sity for this rapid traveling.
My companion ’s attention was again
fixed upon the road before him. Presently
he turned toward me and exclaimed:
“Who says that the Grant is not the
fastest engine on the road!”
“Moxley- declared that the President Was
faster, ” I replied.
“Then he lied!" cried Norris. “The
President faster—we shall see. we shall
see!”
I thought his manner very strange, to
say the least of it. But I knew his ways
and said nothing. He was always consid-
ered rather eccentric. Besides, he was
easily excited and could not bear to be ,
contladicted. Still there Wa's nOtadriver '

eyes were still upon the track. It was all
clear ahead, yet I- expected to” see him close

through the station.
But I was mistaken. With a rear and a
rush we slashed right through-,- and-- the -
next minute we were tearing along a level
stretch on the other side.
“More coal!" Not Only. the'wo'rds them-f .: to te
selves, but the manner in which they were
uttered caused me seriOus alarm. I began
to suspect that something was wrong.

he seemed to “guess what I- was” at, and
“filming ”rdund thrust his hand int‘O his
breast. The next moment he held a re-
volver toward me, while his blazing eyes
threatened instant death if I did not de-
sist.
After that I gave myself up for lost. Un-
less Providence interposed on my behalf a
horrible end aw ai'te'd me. p to this I had
felt the heat oppressive, but now I shivered.
My hands were cold and clammy. A band
of" 1ron seemed to encircle my head.
On we tOre. the engine swaying fearfully.
Every moment I expected to be blown to
atoms by the bursting of the boiler. Norris
never ceased to rave about the race with the
President. And yet, though he was so ab-
sorbed in his work. he kept his eye on me
the whole time.
Then it was that an idea flashed across
me. A faint hope sprang up in my mind.
I must overcome him by cunning; it was
the only hhance.
I advanced to examine the indicator,
and, though my heart sank when I saw
the hand quivering at 250. I made it appear
as if I were delighted.
“Good, ” I cried, “we’ll beat her yeti But
we want more coal. ”
I made toward the tender, placed my left
hand upon a lump Of coal and struck it
across the back with the sharp edge of the
shovel. The blow left a gash from ”which
the blood flowed freely. I gave a cry and
Norris instantly turned round.
I held up my right hand that. he might
see the blood dripping from it. Then I
stood with my back toward him and pre-
tended to bind up the wound. But I only
wrapped a handkerchief round it, and
quick as lightning drew out my pocket-
book. 'I tore away the leaves which were
written on, and placing the book upon my
knee scrawled these words across the first
page:
Driver mad. wire,Igrease rails.
Then, holding it in my injured hand, I
thrust it under my jacket and returned to
the engineer’s side.
We were now rapidly approaching Wes-
ton, but I knew that Norris did not intend
to stop. And I was right. He blewa long
whistle, as if to startle the officials, and
the engine shot through the station like a
rocket.
But I had managed to drop my pocket-
book at the side of the track.
I did not dare to look b: -1ck or make the
slightest sign to the Weston ofiicials. If I
had done so I certainly would have got a
bullet through me. Still I fancied I had
caught a glimpse of a man hurrying for-
ward to where the book had fallen.
The suspense was terrible. Even if they
noticed the pocketbook they might not be
able to understand what“ was written in-
side; for it may be imagined that under
the circumstances the scrawI was barely
legible.
I had made up my mind what to expect.
The next station was Red Fork, but fif-
teen miles further on. I was sure the track
would be clear as far as this place, but
once past it we might encounter an up
train at any moment. '
If the Weston people discovered my mes-
sage they would wire at once to Red F ork,
and there would be time enough for the
officials at that station to grease a portion
of the rails before we came on the scene.
Should this be done on any sort of an in-
cline the wheels would slip on the track
and the engine would soon come to a
standstill. It was with a thrill of joy that
I remembered that there was such a piece
of road just outside Red Fork station.
But if it turned out otherwise, and we
passed the place without being stopped, I
resolved to lose no time in grappling with
the engineer. Come what might, I would
spring upon him and try to wrench the re-
volv er from his hand. The case would
' then be desperate; and it was as well to
die in a fight for life as to wait patiently
and be mangled' 1n a collision.
When I arranged all this in my mind I
endeavored to resign myself to fate. I
could do no more at present. But the ago-
nies I suffered during that short run from
Weston to Red Fork I can never describe.
,The terrible strain of suspense, the wild
rush, the swaying from side to side made
me feel sick and faint. I clung on with-
out daring to look on either hand, if I had
‘done so‘ I think I could not have withstood
the temptation to fling myself from the
engine- .
It was ”getting fdusk. l was only con-
scious of - hedges, telegraph poles and

flashes. , The hearse shouts of thelmadman
made my blood run cold. He seemed to be
working himself into a regular frenzy.
Red Fork one mile ahead!
One minute more would decide the ques-
'tion of life or death.
I drew my breath hard; I trembled like
a child. We had reached the incline. The
engine went at it with a dash. I glanced
out to see if any friendly figures were on
thb track.”

THE RIVER” OF’LOST' SOULS.
Hal-cl; Into Oblivion That Gave the Namp.
to a Mexican Stream.
Over three centuries backward, and be-
fore the inquisitive De Soto had lighted his
camp fire on the banks of the Mississippi,
the Spaniards had achieved two settle- ”
ments in this land of the Occident—Santa
Fe and St. Augustine. They had no
knowledge of the country which laybe—
tween these points or its inhabitants. As
to what might” be the dangers and dead-
falls of a journey from one place to an-
other they were as blindly ignorant as of
the history of the moon. But this igno-
rance affected them not, and full of the un-
easy spirit of the hour a military party in
Santa Fe resolved on an overland expedi-
tion to St. Augustine. They knew the dis-
tance, for they could figure the latitude
and longitude. and they could get the di-
rection of the compass. but” this was the
sum of their knowledge. .
The expedition, numbering some hun-
dreds of men, left Santa Fe late in the
summer, and crossing the mountains at
the Baton pass, the present route of the
Santa Fe railroad, they camped that win-
teron the present site of Trinidad. The
grass was long' in the valley, the game was
plenty on the hills, their own stores were
ample, and sending back to Santa Fe for
minstrel and glee maiden, these gentle
men of the sword got in as gay a season as
they ever have since. Those old' dons were
lads of spirit, and possessed high hearts as
well as a taste for travel. Before them to
the eastward as far as the eye could sweep
spread the desert unconfined. What was
to be met there they knew not, but their
lack of knowledge was coincident with an
equal lack of care.
With the melting of the snows in the
spring sunshine their women and camp
followers returned to Santa Fe. The last
hand was waved goodby, the last adios
were uttered and the explorers turned their
resolute faces to the work in hand. They
marched down the valley of the little
muddy river, which flows as you read this
through the town of Trinidad. The ones
who were to return to Santa Fe watched
them for miles, assisted by the light of the
sun on steel cap and harness. At last
they were hidden in the willows far down 1
the valley, and this was the last that was
ever known of them.
With the last flap of the last banner it
was as if they had marched out of exist-
ence, and whether they sunk in rivers, per-
ished in the drifting snows, or were done
to death by Indians was never told. No
sign or trace of this expedition or its peo-
ple was ever found. There was something
so eerie and mysterious in the complete
disappearance of this band, something so
dark in the silence of their fate, that the
superstitious Spaniard made the sign of
the holy cross when he recalled it. With
that effort at commemoration which was
the spirit of that time the little muddy
torrent in whose valley the lost explorers
last were seen was called El Rio de Los
Animas—“The River of Lost Souls.”
This was the Spanish name when Soub-
tette, Chouteau, Bent, Carson, St. Vrain
and other representatives Of the French
Fur company, of St. Louis, first saw it.
