THEIR LAST MEETING.
By CY YVARMAN.
Every morning for u month or more
the man had come to the gate In the
outer office und asked to see the gen
eral manager. Every morning the of
fice boy ha?l given him a blank form to
flli out:
"Mr. A.
"Wishes to see? Mr. B.
?^Business? private."
As often as the boy went In with the
slip of paper he came back with the
answer. "The general manager is too
busy to see you."
In time the employees learned to
look not at the clock for the hour of
10, but to the gate that swung In tho
low fence. When he had come and
gone thirty-seven times, -'leaving thirty;
seveu neatly filled requests behind
him, the manager Instructed tho boy.
"Mr. A.," said the boy aud closed the
door of the private olllce, leaving the
two men alone. The general manager
was embarrassed. Instead of a long
haired, hollow eyed crank, with soiled
linen covering his concaved chest, his
caller was a well dressed, Intelligent
looking gentleman.
"Delighted, delighted, Mr. B.," said
the stranger, advancing with out
stretched hand. "So good of you to see
me! Yes, I did call the other? yes, yes,
I know how busy you are! Just so,
just so! Ah-h!"
The men shook hands hurriedly, ey
ing each other precisely as a pair of
prizefighters euter the ring.
The manager noticed for the first
time a peculiar look In the man's eyes.
"Sit down," said the stranger, and the
railway man sank back Into bis swing
ing chair. "I shan't take much of yoyr
time? this time," said the visitor, hook
ing one leg over the corner of the table
and sagging Into a comfortable pose.
The manager felt fidgety under the
stranger's soul searching eyes.
"I've got a good thing," said the
man, keeping his eyes upon the mana
ger's conscience.
??I whs u f raid of that," said the man
ager half playfully, but the own did
not
"You have some heavy grades on
your line."
"Yes," assented the manager.
"You have doubtless observed that It
Is almost Invariably upou a mountain
that the air plays out. Just when they
are needed most Is wheu the brakes
refuse to work. You know that, don't
you ?"
"Yes."
"Well. I've spent sleepless nights
working out n system that will always
work and save millions of money now
lost in wrecked rolling stock and thou
sands of useful lives."
"What is your scheme? My time Is
limited."
"First of all. you shall build for mo
a mammoth windmill on the banks of
the M Issouri. The ceaseless winds that
come crying across Colorado and Kan
sas will push the paddles In the big
wheel, which, revolving, will drive a
great pump that will force nlr through
a small pipe to be laid aloug the line
under the ties. Beneath each water
tank upon the mountain side we shall
build an air tank, so that while the
fireman takes water the brakeinan can
take air, tilling the air drum with good
valley air, and then there will be no
trouble. It Is because the mountain air
Is too light to hold that the trains get
away on the hills. Knowing this, the
blood of innoceut men, women and
children will be upon your head If you
fall to protect the lives of your pa
trons."
"I'll see you again nbout this," said
the, manager, putting on his hat and
lending tho way out through a private
door. All the way out the man kept
close to the manager. The elevator
dropped them to the ground floor. The
manager called a cab. As the door
closed the man reached through the
open window Into the carriage, press
ed the manager's hand and said sig
nificantly. looking deep Into the rail
road man's soul, "You won't lose me!"
The Inventor continued to call upon
tho manager, every day at llrst, then
? twice a week and later only three or
four times a mouth.
One evening the general manager sat
In a box at the theater. Between aet^
a gentleman who sat almost dlretyly
behind the railroad man left the box
for a moment. Presently the general
-manager became aware that Ills friend
had resumed his seat and, with his
gaze still on the audience, remarked:
?'I lose half the pleasure of the play
because of an Innate dread of fire. 1
wish somebody would Invent some
thing that would put out tire without
drowning people."
"I can do It," said the man at the
manager's elbow."
"How?"
"How do you put out a candle?'
"Well, I would blow it out."
"Exactly. First 1 would lay a sys
tem of air pipes under the building."
The manager felt a chill creeping
slowly over him. Somewhere he had
heard that voice before, ne began
slowly to turn his head, but his neigh
bor put a hand upon his shoulder and
bade him listen. "You tremble when
your own life Is In danger," said the
mm. "but you do not tremble for the
hundreds of lives that are constantly
endangered by your carelessness, nar
rowness and stinginess. On' yonder
in untaln side tonight people play at
the ope.i uoor oi death as" ?
"Ahem!" said the manager's friend,
returning to the box. The wind crank,
seelnt: that Jie held th* centleman's
Beat, aros*, smiled, bowed and walked
away.
Always after that the manager car
ried about with him a haunting dread
of the wind crank. He would turn a
corner in a crowded street and meet
him face to face, and for the briefest
moment the man would search the
soul of the manager. Once In the city
That was headquarters for the compa-v
ny they held a groat exhibition, and
the general mauager was chosen to
welcome the president of the United
States. The moment ho came to the
edge of the platform and faced the
waiting multitude, waiting not to hear
the railroad man, but the president, he
became embarrassed. "Ladles and gen
tlemen," he began, "I see before me"?
Here tho speaker paused awkward
ly, like a schoolboy who has forgotten
his lines. Refore him rose the gaunt
face of the wlud crank, who stood in
the front row, towering above his
neighbors.
Pulling himself together, the rail
road man went on. Ills friends began
to tremble for him. What he said had
nothing to do with tho exhibition, the
president or the people there assem
bled. "The company has always en
deavored to keep abreast of the times*
We- have adopted every safety appli
ance that has been Invented, but so
long as human hands, guided by the
brain of man"?
At that point a man who was Intelli
gent when ho was sober broke In on
the orator, "Oh, come offen th' perch
an' let som'on' talk 'at can talk sense!"
Blushing to the very roots of his
hair, this local orator, the man who
had been called "the Demosthenes of
the west." stumbled from the stage.
At last the long winter came to an
ond, and tho Inventor went away with
the snow. At all events, the manager
had been rid of him for a long while
when one day his special stood upon a
short spur near the mountain top wait
ing for the eastbound overland ex
press. Presently the pjirty were mado
aware of the approach of the opposing
train, but Instead of the low singing
of the rail, for which they had been
listening, they heard suddenly the roar
of a runaway train and the frantic cry
of a locomotive for brakes. The flag
man who had opened the switch to let
the special back in on the spur stood
there waiting to let them out again
when the express should pass. All the
people had elltnbed down from the
waiting train to stretch themselves.
The engineer was oiling his englue. The
fireman had climbed up a bank to gath
er some wild flowers that grew where
a little stream of clear cold water gur
gled from the rocks. Seeing the flag
man still holding to the switch, the
general manager ran toward him, call
ing to him to let go and stand back.
What might have happened If the
manager had remained quiet no man
i knowetb, but "when the flagman saw
him coming and heard him shouting
without understanding what he was
saying lie glanced nervously In the di
rection of the approaching train. The
wild englue at that moment rounded a
curve and headed down a short tan
gent straight for the switch. The flag
man was seen to glance back again at
his own train, which stood well in the
clear, then throw his weight on the
switch lever. Over went the rail for
the spur, and across It weut the flying
traiu.
An air hose had blown off just as
they tipped over the top of the hill
(this was before the days of the self
acting, self adjusting automatic air
brake), and the few band brakes at
the crew's command had served only
to steady the train. They could not
hold the big mountain engine, and now
she shot In on the spur, wide open,
spitting fire and screaming like a wild
flend. She hit the special with a crash
that shook the very hills. The special
train, with Its lighter locomotive, was
driven back three cars or more and
crushed like an eggshell against the
rock cliff that rose perpendicularly at
the far end of the spur. The heavy
sleepers crushed the mall and express
cars against the wrecked locomotives.
There were the old familiar shrieks of
the broken engines, the uioaus of the
mangled and the excited shouts of the
rescuers. The general manager had
succeeded in draggiug a man from the
ruins and placing hint In an easy posi
tion. The man appeared to 1^
dead. As the manager was about to
turn away something tugged feebly at
his sleeve. The manager stooped down,
put his ear to the man's breast, peered
Into his face and then stepped bucii
wKh'a startled expression. Now. with
the superhuman strength that some
times comes to dying men. the wreck
lifted his head and looked with
strange, wild eyes into the face of the
manager.
"Oh, you murderer! Do you still
argue that you cau hold a train with
mountain air? Now, with a system of
air pipes? ruuning up from the valley
?all this wreck? and? death"?
The general manager pur his ear
down again, but the troubled heart
was hushed.
