Beginning her career with work for a newspaper syndicate at "Washington, it nas curiously enough through George Grantham Bain of St. Louis that Mis Johnston was enabled to utilize her artis tic faculty with commercial buccefs. In passing down a New Vork street her attention was attracted some jears nco by the feign of Demorest's Monthly Maga zine. Sho decided to show some photo graphs to the editor, who was Mr. Bain, and he asked her if she had cer attempt ed to do any writtns ln""Connectlon with her photographic work. Sho replied: "No I hac not, but I can." Then the editor told her he" was about to send out for a series of illustrate nrticl-i on just how Undo Sam manufactured his money. The financial title seemed at tractive at least. Miss Johnston said she would under take it. She went to tho Philadelphia mint and then through the Bureau of Emigrating and Printing at Washington. To shew how early that nil was in the hlstorv of hair-tono reproductions Miss Johnston's first Installment had but one photographic llluotratlon. All the rest were tine draw ings. The second article was all half tones. This was but the beginning. Magazines Hki the Cosmopolitan, Hi'.r pers, the World's Work, the weekly pa pers, and then In the course of time the dallies adopted the use of the new Ftvlo of illustration, and Miss Johnston's work has since appeared everywhere. One of the interesting -'"odes In her career was the "assignment," as newspa per persons call the command of their su periors, to proceed to Europe and secure the first pictures of Admiral Dewey on his return from -Manila. The naval hero was coming "home and the American newspapers were without photographic material of the hero or the vhip upon which he was returning to re ceive his countr's congratulations. ROOSEVELT INTRODUCES ARTIST TO DEWEY. Hurrjlng down to Oyster Bay, Gov ernor Rooseelt came out of the surf In his bathing suit to give her a card of In troduction to Admiral Dewey. With this he hurried tho next morning aboard an outgoing transatlantic Meamer. She ar rived in Naples tho same day with the Olympia. ' Governor Roosevelt's card, which Miss Johnston still retains, proved an open sesame to the Admiral's heart. The next morning she had ,ecured a doztn plates of the Admiral and cverv thing on board ship duwn to the cainry which lost its leg in the bittle of Manila Bay. Par In advance of other photographers. Miss Johnston was back In New York and within a week every new "paper reader in America was enabled to gaze on Admiral Dev.cv In all the glories of his white duck uniform which have since be come familiar to every child In the coun try. President Clcvelind. hl Cabinet, the Harrisons, and e-peciall President Roose velt's famllv. ofilclal ard pergonal, havo lent themselves to Miss Johnston's fasci nating camera. Miss Johnston's work has not been con fined to portraits. Photography for newspaper and magazine Illustration has taken a wide range since sho began to develop It. The minute workmanship required for the 'manufacture of the Mg guns for the Missouri ami. other battleships of the American Navy, the Interiors of bcautirul American homes, the workings of subma rine boats, the military activities of West Point cadets, their verj Interesting me anderlngs down "Flirtation Walk' the activities of the naval cadets at Annapo lis, are but a few of the many historic and beautiful scenes which havo been re flected for permanent enjoyment on the plates oL Miss Johnston's busy camera.

Engine Driver and Fireman .Ttimjied From Locomotive Go ing at Speed of Forty ililes an Hour. REPUBLIC SPECIAIa. Colorado Springs. Colo.. JCoi. 14 Many persons Img wondered how It feels to so out into space from the cab, of a.locomo tive going at a rate of forty to fifty miles because of a conviction thitl the chances of life are greater by takinB such a leap than by remalnlne oil the seat of the cab. To make such u leap out of a runaway engino that is descending. Ute Pass, taking chances on landing against a bowlder or the side of a mountain, was the fate that Frank Watts, engine driver, and James Brandcbery, fireman, performed, and both men are etlll alive to tell the tale. The fact that the air brakes would not stop the train dawned upon Watts spon after crossing the saftty iwitcli below Cascade. Btery train that comes down ute Pass stops at Ciscadc for Inspection. The run ning gear is inspected, tho brakes are ex amined and tested and four different men havo to sign a book that says the train is in shape to make the descent before the engine driver is allowed to pull tho throt tle to start his machine on Its downward Journey. A:i a further safeguard against run aways the company has u safety snitch built on the side of the mountain about half a mile below Cascade, and before any train can have the main line to make the descent the engine driver must whistle for tho track, when "Uncle Jlmmj" Taggart turns the snitch and opens the main line. If the engine driver falls to whlstlo for this swltrli his train runs ud the side of the mountain and "sec-saws'! back andn forth on the switch and the main track until it come? to a stop at the bpttom of tho. "sag." FIREMAN TEU-S STORY. The freight' train passed Inspection lat Cascade and entered the main track at the safety snitch. It woajuot long there after that Watts, in recharging his air brakes, made the d!coery that his train was, beyond his control. His brakes were not of sufficient power' to withstand the weight of his sixteen cars of gold ore and lead And silver bullion and there was no reasonable expectation that the train, would remain on the tracks through tho first tunnel of the eight that lay be tween him and the level track. Brandeberry tells the story thus: y "The. last safety switch was passed with the train under perfect control, stealing slowly down the mountainside. It ran as usual until we had covered about three fourths of a mile, when. the engine driver thought he had better recharge his air brakes. There is a loss'of air in running the train, and it Is necessary from time to' time to recharge the brakes.! If this Is ncaj done the brakes will lose their grips On the wheels. This recharging process requires nearly three minutes, and, "with the terri ble weight of the train we were bringing down this time gave us a terrific impetus. wnen tne Drakes naa Doen-xecnargea ine engine" driver applied them, but there Seemed to be little effectr'.He applied them again and" again, but It was of no per- "Xounay imagine that we were feeling mighty uncomfortable, and had to decide prettj quick what wo were going to do. AVe sized up the situation us uest we mUht and decided that we had a chance only by Jumping from the cab, and a small chance at that, and that the rest of the boys on the train had only the same chance that we had. When we made Up our minds to make the leap we had stayed with her for three-quarters of a mile and knew that she was wild and that every second lessened our chances. Watts made the leap ahead Of met ALIGHTED ON GRANITE BANK. "When we Jumped we were In a straight stretch of track and ho was fortunate enough to strike the ground on a gravel slide. He went at least twenty-five feet fiat on his stomach, and I thought still less of my own chances when he had made the leap. I think it was about twen ty seconds later that I followed him. I hit a bank of disintegrated granite, en the upper side of the track. 1 rolled over and over for about thirty feet, and how my head ktpt In connection with my oody is something I will never know. I reil lzed that 1 was rolling further down tho embankment all the time and that it I didn't stop I was going under the wheels of the train. I graspod and reached for something to stop me, but caught noth ing. When I realized that I had stopped sliding and rolling my hold was swimming und even thing was black as night before me. "I couldn't tell until after the whole train had parsed whether J had been ground up beneath It or not, but I knew that I was not dead. In a few seconds, al though they seemed hours, I realized that the train had gone and I sat up. There was Watts about ixtv feet behind me, also sitting up und looking at me. I don't think 1 cried, but it was not because I didn't want to. "In a moment we remembered that the engine that had helped us down from Leadvllle, was following and we flagged it. Front that point down to Manitou we made a low run, oxpecjing to find the train piled up in some of tho canyons along the way, and to havo to carry the remuins of the rest of the bovs down to Colorado City with us. We were I'orty-Uve minutes making the run to Colorado City. Our surprise at finding that there had been no one hurt In the wreck that we found there was equaled only by our surprise at being alive ourselves.' An investigation was held at the office of the superintendent nt Colorado City. The main reason for the cause of the wreck wus shown to be that the train was composed ttf o many foreign cars- with low-braking power. An explanation of this is that the braking power-of tho for eign cars is onlv from 40 to 50 per cent and that of the home cars Is 70 and 80 .per cent. PIN brought" bad -luck.
