themselves. They plimjiod through
wheat up to their knees at every step
All at once, nbovo the frantic lilssi.r;
of the burled skyscraper and the wild
calling of the car tlnks, I heard the
stentorian tones of Neighbor, mounted
on n twisted truck, organizing the men
at hand Into n wrecking gang. Spoil
people began running up the ynrd to
where the skyscraper lay, like another
Samson, prostrate In the midst of th"
destruction It had wrought. Foremost
among the excited men, covered with
dirt and blood, staggered Dad Hamilton.
"Where's .MeNeal?" cried Neighbor.
Hamilton pointed to the wreck.
"Why didn't he JumpV" yelled
r.
Hamilton pointed at the twisted
tower; the red light still burned in
It.
"You changed the signals on him,"
he cried savagely. "What does It
mean? We had right against everything.
What does It mean?" he raved.
In a frenzy.
Neighbor answered him never a
word; he only put his hand on Dad's
shoulder.
"Kind him first! Find him!" he repeated,
with a strain In his voice I
never heard till then, nnd the two
giants hurried away together. When
I reached the skyscraper, burled In the
thick of the smash, roaring like a volcano,
the pair wore already luto the
jam like a brace of ferrets, hunting
for the engine crews. It seemed an
hour, though It was much less, before
they found any one; then they brought
out r.Ts fireman. Neighbor found him
Hut his back was broken. Back again
they wormed through twisted truck-,
under splintered beams In and around
and over choked with heat, blinded
by steam, shouting as they groped,
listening for word or cry or gasp.
Soon we heard Dad's voice In a dlf
ferent cry, one that meant everything
and the wreckers, turning like beavers
through n dozen blind trails, gathered
all close to the big fireman. He was
under a great piece of the cab where
none could follow, nnd he was crying
for a bar. They passed him a bar;
other men, careless of life and limb,
tried to crawl under nnd in to him, but
he warned them back. Who Jut a
man baked twenty years in an engine
cab could stand the steam that poured
on him where he lay?
Neighbor, Just outside, Hashing a
light, heard the labored strain of his
breathing, saw him getting half up,
bend to the bar, and saw the Iron give
like lead in his hands as he pried
mightily.
Neighbor heard and told me long afterward
how the old man tlungthe bar
away with an Imprecation and cried
for one to help him. for n minute
meant a life now. The boy lying plnue 1
under the shattered cab was roasting
In a Jet of live steam. The master me
ehnnle crept In.
By signs Dad told him what to do
and then, getting on his knees, crawled
straight Into the dash of the white
Jet crawled Into It and got the cab
on his shoulders.
Crouching an Instant, the giant muscles
of his back set In a tremendous
effort. The wreckage snapped and
groaned, the knotted legs slowly nnd
painfully straightened, the cab for a
passing Instant rose In the air, nnd In
that Instaut Neighbor dragged Georgie
MeNeal from out the vise of deatli and
passed him, like a pinch bar, to the
men waiting next behind. Then Neighbor
pulled Dad back, blind now and
senseless. When they got the old fireman
out he made a pitiful struggle to
pull himself together. He tried to
stand up, but the sweat broke over
him, and he sank In a heap at Neighbor's
feet.
That was the saving of Georgie
and out there they still tell you
about that lift of Dad Hamilton's.
We put him on the cot at the hospital
next to his engineer. Georgie,
dreadfully bruised and scalded, came
on fast in spite of his hurts, but the
doctor said Dad had wrenched n ten
don In that frightful effort, nnd he lay
there a very sick and very old man
long after the young engineer was up
and around telling of his experience.
"When we cleared the chutes I sa"
white slgnnls, I thought," ho said to me
at Dad's bedside. "I knew we had tin
right of way over everything. It watt

Reed, you know that an awful husth'

notch to run the yards. Didn't mean
to do It -with the Junction grade to
climb Just ahead of us. But I look 1
out agnin, and, by hokey, I thought F.l
gone crazy, got color blind red si,
nals! Of course I thought I must h.iv
been wrong the first time I looked. 1
choked her. I threw the air. I duic;
ed the gravel. Heavens! She never
felt It! I couldn't figure how we were
wrong, but there was the red light. I
yelled, 'Jump, Dad!' and he yelled,
'Jump, son! Didn't you, Dad?
"Ho Jumped, but I wasn't ever goiu
to Jump, nnd my engiue going ful.
against n red lamp. Not much.
"I kind of dodged down behind the
head; when she struck It was biff, an '
sho Jumped about twenty feet uj
straight. Sho didn't? Well, It scenic 1
like It Then It was biff, biff, biff, one
after another. With that train bohln 1
her she'd bavo gone through Beverly
hill. Did you ever buck snow with a
rotary, Mr. Reed? Well, that wa
about It, even to the rolling and heating.
Dad, want to lie down? Le' ma
get another pillow behind you. Isn't

', speaking cf the engineer of 55, who
'-s Instantly killed. "He and the lire-
..in both. Hard lines, but I'd rather

wrong Cti. Dad?"

would never kIioyuI coal again It eo '

so the suig"on told us. an 1 '
could believe It, for when they got tlu
Jacks under the cab next morning, anJ
Neighbor told the wrecking gang th f
Hamilton alone had lifted It six indie
the night before on his back th
wrecking boss fairly snorted at the
statement, but Hamilton did Just the
same.
"Son," muttered Dad one night to
Georgie, sitting with him, "I want you
to write u letter for me."
"Sure."
"I've been seudlng money to my bjy
back east," explained Dad feebly. "I
told you he's In school."
"I know. Dad."
"I haven't been able to send an;
since I've been by. but I'm going ii
3end some when I get my relief. X t
so much as I used to send. I want yon
to kind of explain why."
"What's his first name, Dad, and
where does he live?"
"It's a lawyer that looks after him
a man that tends to my business back
there."
"Well what's his name?"
"Scaylor Ephralm Scaylor."
"Scaylor?" echoed Georgie In amazement.
"Yes. Why, do you know him?"
"Why, that's the man mother nnd I
had so much trouble with. I wouldn't
write to that man. He's a rascal.
Dad."
"What did ho ever do to you and
your mother?"

ther had trouble back there fifteen or
r sixteen yearj ago. He was running an
3nglue and had a wreck. There were
5ome passengers killed. The dispatcher
managed to throw the blame on father,
and they Indicted him for manslaughter.
He pretty near went crazy,
and all of a suddeu he disappeared,
ind we never heard of him from that
day to this. But this man Scaylor.
mother stuck to It, knew something
about where father was, only he always
denied It."
Trembling like a leaf. Dad
up on his elbow. "What's your mother's
name, son? What's your name:"
Georgie looked confused. "I'll tell
rou. Dad. There's uothlug to be ashamed
of. I was foolish enough, I told
you once, to go out on a strike with
the engineers down there. I was
anly a kid, and wo were nil blacklisted.
So I used my middle name, MeNeal.
My full name Is George MeNeal SIu
ilnlr."
The old fireman made a painful effort
to sit up, to speak, but he choked.
Ells face contracted, and Georgie rose
frightened. With a herculean effort
the old man raised himself up and
grasped Georgle's hands.
"Son," he gasped to the astonished
boy, "don't you know me?"
"Of course I know you. Dad. What's
the matter with you? Lie down."
"Boy, I'm your own father. My
name Is David Hamilton Sinclair. I
had the trouble, Georgie." He choked
up like a child, and Georgie MeNeal
went white and scared; then he grap
id the gray haired man in his arms.
When I dropped In an hour later they
ivero talking hysterically. Dad was e
plaining how he had beeu sending
money to Scaylor every month, and
Georgie was contending that neither
he nor his mother had ever seen a cent
)f It. But one great fact overshadowed
ill the villainy that night father and
ion were united and happy and a message
had already gone back to the old
lomo from Georgie to his mother, te'I
Ing her the good news.
"And that Indictment was wiped out
long ago against father," said Georg'e
to me, "but that rascal Scayfor kept
nrrltlng him for money to fight it with
ind to pay for my schooling and this
vas the kind of schooling I was getting
all the time. Wouldn't that kill
rou?"
I couldn't sleep till I had hunted up
Neighbor and told him about It, nnd
icxt morning we wired transportation
back for Mrs. Sinclair to como out on.
Less than a week afterward a gentle
little old woman stepped off the flier at
Zancsvlllo and Into the nrms of
Sinclair. A smart rig was In wait-
:ug, to wntch her son hurried her, and
they were driven rapidly to the

that he would never more touch a
throttle, we got him to take the skyscraper
and the Acton run.(
And when Georgie, who takes tlu
flier every other day, Is off duty he
climbs Into Dad's cab, shoves the old
gentleman aside and snoots around the
yard in the rejuvenated skyscraper at
a hair raising rate of speed.
After awhile the old eugine got so
full of alkali that Georgie gave her a

hangs to her yet. We thought the best

Tsro Doctor.
Almost every one has made hla Jest
about the pronenoss of doctors to
the one prescribing exactly an
opposite course from that ordered by
another, but not every ono has had an
opportunity to conduct such an experiment
as was made by the late Baron
Luta, formerly prime minister of Bavaria.
The baron was onco severely
wounded in battle in both legs. Tin-wound
In one leg was much like that
In the other. It struck him that there
was a chance to study the ways of the
surgical profession nnd beguile the
long hours of his convalescence. lie
accordingly called In one doctor an 1
gave him charge of his right leg. but
told him nothing about the wound I:i
the other, and then called In another
doctor for his left leg, keeping him
similarly In Ignorance about the
wounded right leg. The doctors adopted
a very different method of tr -at
ment, but both wounds healed at nlvit
the same time. When the baron's 1 -were
quite well he derived a great do;.!
of amusement from getting the dot
tors together nnd mystifying them with
questions about the way each bad
treated "his leg."
Some ThotiKlit Tor Pood.
If people were as particular to have
their food fit their lusldes as they aiv
to have their clothes fit their outside-they
would be better satisfied with the
world nnd themselves.
When good digestion waits on appetite
a man may either dare to love or
fight
The food that fits the stomach Is the
food that rules the world.
If you forgot what you have to eat.
then you may bet you won't forget
what you have eaten and will continue
to eat It unless your Judgment Is as
weak ns your digestion.
Indigestion Is the devil's workshop.
Dyspepsia uncovers a multitude of

It's easy going when your stomach
works nil right.
No food Is sometimes good food.
A meal of victuals on the table Is
worth two In the stomnch.
An overloaded stomach Is bound to
break down.
Food that won't set on the stomach

Cipher Writing.
The art of secret writing, or wrltln
In cipher, was, according to PolybIu
Invented by .T3neas, author of a treatise
on tactics and other works. Hi
produced twenty methods of wrif'i"
In cipher, which no person could u.i
fold, but we doubt much whether th y
would preserve this quality at the present
day. It Is no less strange than
truo that this art, so Important in diplomacy,
as long ns couriers are liable
to be Intercepted, was held In abhorrence
by the elector Frederic II., who
eousidered It as a diabolical Invention.
Trlthemius, abbot of Spauhelm, had
composed several works to revive this
branch of knowledge, nnd Boville, an
Ignorant mathematician, being unable
to comprehend the extraordinary terms
he made use of to explain his method,
published that the work was full of diabolical
mysteries. Polssevln repeated
the assertion, and Frederic, In a holy
zeal, ordered the original work of
which ho had In his library,
to be burned us the invention of the

Gruceleaa Children.
Michael Minor, a French preacher,
who died In Paris in 1518, was noted
for his ecceutrlcltles In the pulpit and
the rapidity with which he changed
from humor to pathos, from the commonplace
to the beautiful. "Thorn
were once pillories for swearers," he
said on a certain occasion, "but If the
law were enforced uow two-thirds of
the empire would be In the stocks and
there would bo tho child of five years
and the dotard of eighty who has
only two teeth remaining to fllug out
an oath." Changing suddenly to denounce
those who neglected the aged
parents who had cherished them In
prosperity, he said: "See tho trees flourish
and recover their leaves! It Is
their root that has produced all, but
when the branches are loaded with
tlowers and fruits they yield nothing
to the root. This Is an Imace of
children who prefer their own amuse
ment and to game away their owu fortunes
to giving their old Darents tho
enro which they want."
