A LITTLE CHELD‘.
I paced one day along the dusty street,
With heavy heart and inattentive mind,
When suddenly, with tiny, pattering feet.
A little child came softly up behind
He joined me, and we walked on side by side.
Some spell of silence I could not define
Was on us; then. with blue eyes opened wide,
He looked at me and placed his hand inmino.
. A baby’s hand, and yet so‘firm and strong.
It held my tired one with kindly grasp.
And as we walked still silently along '
My heavy heartfound healing in that clasp.
, What sweet. mysterious influence led him
i
there .
I cannot tell, but thus it seemed to me—
Eis Guardian Angel guided him to share
My burden with unconscious sympathy;
Unconscious. for as yet his tender mind
Had never learnt that love is kin to pain.
And this is sympathy, whose links can bind
Their heart to heart as with a golden chain.,
He needed naught of mine, he would not miss
Me when we parted, nor would understand
My thanks. but on his brow 1 left a kiss,
And thanked God for the kindly baby hand

’ HAVE always
' had a . fashion
\ wheresoever I
am about "of
g o t ti n g into
contersation
with “all sorts and conditions of men.”
and it is astonishing What curious and
immense amount one thus gets at of
odd experiences, minds and information
which never finds its way into any
book lore. Each unit of the great hu-
man family, bc he ever so humble and
ignorant, will know something which
another does not, or have had some ex-
perience, however trifling, which
another has not. ‘
You will find, too, if you keep your
eyes, ears and sympathies open, that
under the surface of these so-called
hard prosaic days there lies far more
> of romance and dramatic. element than
many folks suppose. It is human na-
ture in its very essence from its Alpha
to its Omegar‘which occasmnally
bursts forth in some grand form that
‘ all the world must need recognize, but
is mostly scattered hidden away in
humdrum lives and secret heart
niches. These have to be got at, where
perhaps they are least suSpccted.
Amongst my many such experiences
and. free and easy “chummings,” I re-
member one which may interest you, as
it did me. ,
Seine few years ago I found myself
obliged to wait a couple of hours at a
little wayside station for the train that
would take me on to my destination. I
soon noticed a tall, Ipowerful-looking
man, about forty-five to fifty, sitting
on a. bench at the far end of the plat-
form. His dress and whole appearance
told the railway cmployc.
Of course I speedily ranged up along-
side and got into a chat, and I found
that he was an engine driver also
awaiting my train, on his way back

London to give some evidence for the
company in a damage action.
We sat backing the track, but facing
a long disused coal‘ siding, on which
lstood a derelict truck. On this was
‘playing as we talked a small country
:boy of tender years; but presently the
child climbed down and began to roll
'its ball between the disused metals,
which ended at the truck.
Nothing could possibly come from
theimain track; the brat was as safe
as atthome, yet my new friend startled
In:- by suddenly breaking 0135 his con-
retention to call out with a sharpness
that belied his kindly face: , ,
“Get out of the track, at once, boy:
'D‘ye hear? Get out!”
The urchin stared, laughing at what
like tearing my h cart up.
with a. grateful, earnest "I'hank' you, 1’
ma’ am. ”
Then, after a pause, he added, huskv
fly, with a shiver: “I beg pardon, but I
couldn’t help it; I can’t bear to seed
child on the line; 'I never shalt again—-
never no more, I b’lieve; the sight of it
just upsets me like as if it was all yes-
terday.” . .
“Yes,” I said, gently, “that is the
way too often after a great shock to
the nervous system. One never quite
gets over it if anything recalls it viv-
idly.” .
“Just so, ma’am—you take me quite,"
said the engine-driver, with the eager
gladness of being understood, and of.
having put into words for him the feel-
ing he had no language to adequately
express. “I’ll tell you how it' was if so
be you’d care to hear.” ~ 1
“Care! I shall be more than pleased
and interested,” I answered; “that is,
if it does not pain you too much to tell
me the Story.” ’
“No, no, ma’am, thank ye kindly. I
feel honored by your being interested.
It ain’t much to sound so fur, but to
me—well, there, I can’t never see a
kid ’twixt them metals again without
making a fool of myself, so it’s no use
to say I can.”
He paused a minute, .and then, some;
times looking straight out before him,
sometimes at me, he said:
"Well, it happened five years ago or
thereabouts. I was on this line,'asl
am still—have been these fifteen years.
Do you know the dine when it gets up
northwards into Blankshire?”
“No, not intimately,” I said; “it’s
years since I was through Blankshirc.”
- “Ah, well, there’s a. part where the
country’s very flat — leastways, not
hilly—but when you’ve passed L-—-
therc’s a splendid running bit, where
the track keeps nearly a bee-line, bleSs
you, for seven miles down a slight de-
cline, but still which it’s bad to pull up
short in. We chaps call that the
‘straight seven.’ and if we’ve lost a few .
minutes before reaching it we always
reckon to make upr‘time there easy with-
out putting on steam or waste of coal
for the engine. We just let her have it
as she is, and Lord! she’ll go, I tell
you! When you come around the curve
into the straight seven you can see
ahead the whole distance where the
track goes into a cutting again. ” . ,
“Is the curve sharp, so-that you hav
to slack off speed?" I asked. '
“Oh,no, ma’am, the cu-rve’s very slight
after passing L—‘——. Well, one day we
left L— three or four minutes late, so
I says to my mate, Jem: ‘It don’t mat-j
ter: we shall make the time square'at
the straight.’ We always get up full
speed about three or four miles before
we get to it, and being all snug and
quiet for a. good way there wasn’t much
to be done but for me to keep my usual
lookout ahead.
“ ‘Here we are, Jem, and now for a
spin,’ says I joyously, as we dashed into
the running bit. I’ve get a. wonderful
longkeen sight and in that second I
caught sight of a. small white object in
the track right away far ahead. I
could see it was a. little child dancing
to its own shadow, never seeing the
train tearing on behind it like a mad
devil. If I was to live a. hundred years
I could never forget that awful mo-
ment,” said the man hoarsely, putting
one hand over his eyes—“nor the few
minutes that followed ‘J cm. the
brake! the brake!’ I shouted, and
started the steam whistle shrieking
like a demon to frighten the child frOm
the track, then shut off the steam. The
poor baby heard the whistle and saw
the black monster coming on behind. I
heard her shriek of terror above the
roar of the train—yes, I did, I’ll swear
it was not fancy-wand then, my God!
she started running away from the
train straight on in the track. ,Fancy
that sight—and I with children of my
own!
“Nothing in the world can in one
minute bring to a dead stop a train at
high speed going down ever so slight a
gradient, and though she was slacking
every second with steam shutoff and
brakes on as hard as we dared till she
had got slowed enough to stop her
dead she still swept on as if in defiance
of me and gained on the child hand
over fist. It was aSImply awful race
-—to win by stopping short. I tell
you in those few minutes I lived years
of torture—nothing less. The sweat
stood out on me in great beads, every
nerve felt stretched and dragged
to breaking, and ’to breathe set-med
Minutes!—

still, that sent the coaches, bufiers and
chains clashing and driving into each
other as if the train was alive—brought
her up within, half a foot of the child.
Think of that! ,
“I remember leaping off my engine j

drawing a long breath—poor fellow. he
had almost’lived again the horror of
that race In recalling. it—“but at the
time I couldn’t feel like knowing any-~

od that the present executive should vio-.
late his oath of office and surrender his

propositions named in-the call. '
