Descending the mountain, he footed

come upon a railway station A train

The conductor on collecting his fare
punched a printed slip and handed it
to him
"What's this?" asked Van Winkle.
"Excess fare
"What'll I do with it'"
The conductor passed on without re

the slip was a check on the conductor
to guard against his stealing the fare

Informant aghast
"And the management makes spies

to such a system'"
"Conductors and passengers are both

Van Winkle gave a low whistle
"Is this want of trusting to individ

"By no means No one Is trusted ex

"Is there no standard of honor?"

When Van Winkle reached New York
he went to the banking house where he
bad been employed It was now on
the ground floor of a thirty story sky
scraper Of course he knew no one
there, or, rather, no one knew him
So he wrote a note to the president,
Richard Trimble, who had been a clerk
•with him forty years before and on the
camping trip at which he had disap
peared. Van Winkle was shown Into
the president's private office and re
ceived with suspicion. Not daring t^
give the Rip Van Winkle story, he said
he had gone to see the world He
asked for a position, and there being a
vacancy in a department where large
sums were handled he was appointed
The.salary_was $.800 a veac
"Eight hundred a year for guarding
millions!" exclaimed Van Winkle
"All that's changed, Walter. We
don't need to rely on our employees'
honesty now we insure It."
"Insure it?'
"Yes. A company for a premium
takes the risk."
"And do you mean, friend of my boy
hood, to insure me?"
"As president of the bank I can't
help doing so It's a rule made by the
directors."
"Then if I come In here to work for
you I am at liberty to beat the bank if
lean?"
"Certainly."
"Do you refrain from beating It be
cause of your integrity?"
"I'd be a fool to beat it—illegally."
"I see."
"Sorry I can't do any better for you,
Walter. You should have stuck to
business as I have instead of roaming
all over the world."
"Let me ask you one question, Dick.'
"Go ahead."
"Are you an honest man?"
Trimble put his lips to Van Winkle's
ear and whispered: "Only In small
things, not In big ones no petty lar
ceny for me. This is between me and a
friend of my boyhood."
"It's taken you years to learn to be
dishonest I've learned it in one day. 1
see it's become the fashion."
"You might as well wear a plug hat
made of beaver as to be honest—that
Is, what we used to call honest"
"I see. When shall I go to work?"
"Tomorrow, if you like."
When Van Winkle appeared at the
bank the next day he found a photo
grapher there. President Trimble came
out of his private office and said:
"You'll have to be photographed,
Walter."
"What for?'
"Oh, the rule Is to have a photograph
of all our employees. They're easier
^caught if they light out with the funds

THE WORlSD»S^IGGEST ENGINE
"During the late exposition at
St. Louis there was exhibited in the
transportation building a Mallet
articulated locomotive built for the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad, which
was the most powerful built in any
country up,to that date. During the
past two years this locomotive has
been doing excellent work on thegine
mountain division of the Baltimore

proved equal to the heavy duty for
which it was designed, but has been
hauling exceptionally heavy trains
on a moderate cost for fuel and re

A Conundrum.
[Original
A gentleman niidwaj between birtb/
and threescore years and ten sat with
a girl of eighteen He was still young
enough to be considered a companion
for a young lady, though within a few
years of the time when in calling upon
one of them she would probably ask if
he was looking for her father or moth
er In this case the two had been
friends for years When the girl was a
child and he in the twenties, she had
been accustomed to climb into his lap
and hug him She had got over that.
They were sitting in the library of the
girl's residence, she on a divan, he in
an easy chair The windows and doors
were open, and a breeze blowing over
the garden brought in a delicious per
fume of flowers The man was speak
ing
"You don't remember your mother,
do you?"
"No You know she died when I was
five. But it seems to me I know her
from her letters, many of which I have
found and have read over and over
again
"Have you come among her papers
upon a copy of a contract she made
with me some fifteen or sixteen years
ago?"
"No What contract?"
"It was between your mother and
me and was to be kept secret"
"Oh," with a slight toss of her head,
"I beg your pardon."
"Some day I may show it to you, but
that will depend upon circumstances."
"Indeed!"
A few weeks later the two were to
gether in the garden.
"You remember, I suppose," said the
man, "the contract made years ago be
tween me and your mother that I told
you about."
"And refused to say what it was."
"There are conditions under which I
may gratify your curiosity."
"Such as"—
"Well, if you marry, for instance."
"I'm sure my mother could not have
entered upon any business agreement
with you whereby you were to influ
ence me to marry any particular per
son."
"Certainly not. I would not think of
influencing you in such a matter."
"Then how can my marriage nave
anything to do with it?"
"Your marriage with any particular
person doesn't pertain. I meant that
in case you were simply married I
might show you the contract."
The girl pondered awhile, then said:
"Is there any one I might marry who
would have an interest in this agree
ment?"
If he could have looked Into her eyes,
he would have seen cunning. Evident
ly there was something about the sub
ject of their conversation that pro
foundly Interested her. He glanced at
her inquiringly, but her head was bent
over a flower she was plucking.
"There Is one," he said, "who if you
married him would have no Interest In
the agreement."
"You speak In riddles."
A smile hovered about her lips, but
she kept her back to him, picking a
handful of flowers. When she turned
the smile was gone.
"There is my cousin Will," she said.
"If I married him, would he have any
interest in the agreement?'
"Not after the wedding."
va
"But before the wedding?'
"That would depend upon whether
lit desired a wedding with you."3 jfwl

one of five now in course of deilv
weighs 20,500 pounds more
than the Baltimore & Ohio engine.
It differs from its prototype main
ly in the fact that, instead of the
whole of the weight being on thewhich
twelve drivers, it is provided with
a pony truck at the front and a
trailer at the rear below the cab.
Consequently, altho the engine is
heavier, the weight on the drivers
is less by 18,500 pounds. The
steam pressure also is less, being
200 pounds to the square inch as
against 230 pounds the earlier en
but the total heating surface
also is slightly greater, as is also
the cylinder capacity.
"The Mallet type has for its dis
tinguishing feature two separate en
gines, each operating its own set
of drivers. In the present case the
high pressure cylinders, which are
inches in diameter by 32 inches
stroke, are carried upon the main
frame of the engine at about mid
length of the boiler, with which the
frame is rigidly connected thru the
saddle and at other bearing points.
The six coupled driving wheels are
inches in diameter. Steam is
admitted to the cylinders thru out
side steam pipes leading down on
the outside of the boiler from the
steam dome. The exhaust passes
thru a flexible joint placed at thepull
"Would it depend upon anything
else?"
"Yes upon whether you desired a
wedding with him."
"In other words, this contract would
Interest him (and me) only in case we
wished to marry?"
"You have drawn a conclusion not
based on proper foundations. In other
words, you have perpetrated a fal
lacy
"Suppose," she went on after fram
«Vg another question, "I should marry
you. Would you be Interested in the
contract?"
He started and cast a quick glance
at her Was she stating a hypothetical
case for the purpose of trappmg him?"
"That, I fear—I mean—you would
not be likely to marry me."
"But if I should?"
"The contract would be of no mo
ment to me."
"I like this conundrum," she said
presently "The solution is well con
cealed. Let me see—if I marry you'll
tell me the answer. My marriage with
any particular person doesn't pertain
There is one I could marry who would
have no interest in the agreement If
I married Will, it would only interest
him if he wished to marry me, and
even then it would make no difference
If I married you, you would have, no
interest in it. What is there to base a
guess on?"
"Nevertheless I wish you would
guess it"
He spoke ruefully. She cast a: glance
up at him.
"Suppose I try?"
"You can't guess it."
"I can. The contract Is that—here it
Is."
She pulled out a small paper that
had been tucked in her belt and hand
ed it to him It was a betrothal be
tween her and her companion made
for her by her mother when she was a
baby.
"I thought you said you had not
found it"
"I hadn't. After you told me about
it I ransacked all the old desks and
cabinets in the house."
"Well?"
"Well?"
"Do yon stand by your mother's
agreement?"
She threw her arms about his neck.

Walter Scott as a Boy.
When Sir Walter Scott was only
eighteen months old, he was taken with
a severe fever, which affected his right
leg so that he was lame throughout his
whole life. At the age of four a favor
ite aunt took him to Bath in hope that
the waters there might lessen if not
entirely cure his lameness, but they did
not give him any relief. He lived at
Bath for several years, learning to read
at a dame school, taking private les
sons of an aunt and often attending the
theater with his uncle, Captain Robert
Scott It is» told that one evening upon
seeing the play "As You Like It"
young Scott became so excited during
the quarrel between Orlando and his
brother that he screamed out at theters
top of his voice, "Ain't they brothers'"
Dr. Johnson and Books.
Dr Johnson had the greatest con
tempt for any book which was not
philosophy or pure literature. Once
when he was visiting Samuel Foote he
began running over his books, opening
the books so wide as almost to break
their backs, and then flung them down
one by one on the floor with contempt
"Zounds!" said Foote, who was inwas
torture all the time. "Why, what are
you about there? You'll spoil all my
books!" "No, sir," cried Johnson, "I
have done nothing but treat a pack of
silly plays in fops' dresses just as they
deserve, but I see no books"

thethe
forward half of the boiler. From
the low-pressure cylinders the
steam exhausts to the smokestack
thru a jointed flexible exhaust pipe.
It will be seen that this method of
construction provides an engine
which, in spite of its great length
of 54 feet 7 inches, is very flexible,
a quality that is rendered neces
sary by the fact that 10-degree
curves are not uncommon on theof
division where these locomotives
will operate. To supply sufficient
steam for such powerful engines
calls for an exceptionally large
boiler. It is of the Belpaire type
and is 7 feet in diameter. A tall
man could walk thru it with a foot
of clearance. There are 225 square
feet of heating surface in the fire
box and 78 square feet of grate
area. The total heating surface is
5,658 square feet. Working as a
compound engine, this locomotive
can exert a pull at the drawbar of
71,600 pounds, and working as a
simple engine by the admission of
live steam to the low-pressure cy
linders, it can exert the enormous
of 87,200 pounds."

Running Down a
Forger.
[Copyright, 1907, by Eastment J,
I was with Detective Hogan the daj
he first saw the little widow Carson
He had a case on in court, and she
was a witness for the defense Her
testimony cleared his prisoner, al
though he had a good case, but he did
not hold it up against her, as would
have been natural
For long weeks I kept tab on Hogan
as a citizen. He acted just as another
man would. His admiration for
theor
little widow impelled him to seek an
introduction. After that he was hard
hit He became a frequent caller and
in time we all came to know that he
was one of her suitors and the favored
one It seemed funny that he should
send her bouquets and don a dress suit
and accompany her to the theater
One day I was surprised out of my
boots by the detective sitting down
with me and giving me his confidence
Don't imagine it was about any offi
cial case. It was as a man that he
wanted to talk with me about being in
love with the widow A very young
man or an old bachelor will often do
that She hadn't accepted him in sobteht
many words, but he was sure that his
love was reciprocated. He was lov
ing her as a man, but he had sized her
up as a detective From his reading
of her character she was close upon
the order of angelic. He had looked
for a flaw In vain. He was satisfied,
and more than satisfied, and naturally
he wanted all others to be so. I could
tell you here that I differed with him
in many respects, not orally, but men
tally, and thus make out that I was
possessed of superior acumen, but I
am not posing In that direction. To
some one else I might have said my
say, but not to Hogan. He would have
been down on me at the first word.
The case in which the widow had
been a witness for the defense was
one of forgery About the time Hogan
gave me his confidence three banks
were victimized the same day. Signa
tures of depositors were counterfeited
and over $3,000 hauled in. In each
case the check was presented by a
woman, a fairly tall woman, wearing
glasses and supposed to be over mid
dle age. As her identity was vouched
for, the teller had to count out the
money The case was given to Hogan,
and he took it up with the utmost
ardor and confidence. A week passed,
and there were two more forgeries.
Then, a few days later, two or three
checks were kited. It was all done
by the same woman, and yet Hogan
hadn't struck a clew. He was so hot
on the trail, however, that she changed
her tactics. She Intrusted the checks
to an old man and raised $16,000 in a
day. "What's the matter with Ho
gan?" was being asked at headquarr
but, bestir himself as he would
and did, he could not advance his case.
By forgery and check raising the gang
scooped in nearly $30,000, and not one
of them was spotted.
Then occurred what some of us call
ed a laughable thing and made merry
over. Hogan was a thrifty man He
had saved money from his salary, and
he had speculated, and his bank ac
count stood very close to $20,000. He
a depositor at a state bank, and
one day the same old man presented a
check for $15,000 and drew out the
money. It was Hogan's signature as
plain as day, and he had not only
vouched for the signature of the oth
er, but had sent along a brief note.
The teller tried to reach him at head
quarters, but failed to get the con
nection, and the check was paid. Two
hours later Hogan was roaring around
that bank like an angry lion. He had
been done for. It was only natural
he should call on the widow that
evening to relate his loss, and, her
sympathies being aroused, the climax
came—that Is, she leaned her head on
his stalwart shoulder and murmured
that she would be bis. She was sorry
for his loss, but she had enough for
both.
Two evenings later he went up to
make sure of the date of the wedding
day, and she was out. He did not go
again for a week, being busy on his
case, and when he next appeared the
house was empty and had been for
several days. His petite fiancee had
fled. For a day or two the man fought
hard against the be^ef that he had
been duped. Then fjiilaan took/a
back seat, and the detective came to
the front, and It did not take him long
to figure out things.. The cute little
widow was no widow at all, but the
wife of an adventurer. She had been
an actress. an4 she |aew a

makeups. She had oeen driven to ev
ery book in a carriage in shoes that
increased her natural height by six
inches. Pencil and paint had put on
wrinkles and lines, and she had taken
care to dress for the occasion. Hogan
himself would not have known her on
the street. Her husband had been
just as artfully disguised, and when
the point of safety had been reached
field had been abandoned.
The thing must have come hard on
the man, but he was full of grit, and
he braced up. He was given carte
blanche as to his movements for a
year, and he drew out the balance of
his money and crossed the ocean on a
trail he had picked up For ten months
he followed the couple over Europe,
losing the trail here and there, but al
ways picking It up again, and then one
day, when he was within twenty mile
a Swiss hotel where the couple were
stopping, his train was wrecked, and
he was numbered with the dead. We
didn't criticise his falling in love or
his false reading of human nature, but
we read the newspaper paragraph and
then laid the paper aside and said,
"Poor Hogan!" M. QUAD.

Hans Strand caused quite an ex
citement Tuesday forenoon by
bringing in a large pelican that he
had caught two days before at
Scandinavian lake, which weighed
sixteen pounds and measured nine
feet from tip to tip. It was one of
fifteen which flew into the, lake.
Just how he caught it we do nota
know, as he does not say, but he
had it just the same. With its
large white body and big red bill it
was an object of curiosity to all.ities
While Hans was having its picture
taken at Brandmo's gallery the bird
tried to get even. In placing it in
position for the camera he stooped
too near and the first thing he knew
the captive had his face between
its red jaws and in jerking free he
received a deep three-inch scratch
on each cheek, a quarter of an inch
wide and clear thru the skin.—Ben

Wall Paper
Are you going to paper your rooms
this summer'^ If so, it will pay you
to come in and look oyer my large
stock before you buy—all new designs
and up-to-date and the beauty of it is
my prices are right. Why pay a big
price for an old and shelf-worn paper
when you can buy the new and up-to
date just as cheap? Give me a chance
to show you what I have.
I also handle the largest stock of
Paints, Oils, Paint Brushes, Window
Glass, Room Moulding and Painters'
Supplies in the city. Your trade is
solicited.
