I-- Engineer Jimmy Fidler Holds the Doubtful Credit--Describing the Rapid Run. * To ineer Jammy Fidler, once of the ork belongs the doubtful credit of having ridden a runaway engine the length of the Hill, which is the name for the great slope down Kicki Horse Pass in the Rockies. "The evi road officials evidently thought the credit wasn't Jimmy's. Jimmy started down the Big Hill one summer day § dozen years age with a light engine. He let the en- ine get away from him and found imself anproaching the first safety. miles an hour proscribed by the card for light engines. The runaway was alrecdy reversed to use the water: brake, so all that Jimmy could de was to attempt an emergency applica tion of the air-broke and give it sand. Having done this without producing any visible effects Jithmy turned to the fireman with a sickly grin and shouted & Jay iv "Here gocs for Field!" He reached for the whistle lever and sounded four imperious yelps to in. form the swit-h-tender that he wanted the main ine. Fearing that the signal might not be taken seriously, Jimmy repeated it, and then gave it a third and a fourth time. The switch-tender saw that the approaching engine waa unmistakably running away, and the rules warned him in big, black-faced type that under such circumstances he was to leave the switch set for tha spur to trap the runaway. But here was a man clearly going to destructica who wanted t6 meet his fate on the main line. As between obeying the tules and humoring a dying man, the switch-tender allowed Jimmy to tear down the main line, sounding a con tinuous succession of signals to the next switch-tender. Buch frantic reiteration was not wo be ditrogded. Number two switch- tender obeyed the command, thea number three did the same. The three profoundly astonished switch-tenders gazed open-mouthed after a temil of smoke disappearing in the distance. The sound of a whistle came faintly up from the direction of the smoke, for, Jimmy seemed to have formed the habit. The fireman's first impulse had beea to jump, but the rocks looked hard, snd Jimmy's grin caused him to hesi- tate until he had become too terrified to act. The engine took the sharp curves with a violence that called for the fireman's undivided atiention to keep from. being thrown against the boiler-head and having his brains knocked out. As for Jimmy, the grin had frozen upon his face. He sat up- on his seat box, staring straight ahead, working the whistle lever like an aut 1 .

Then the two men recovered theit self- jon, and looked out dpon the bright world in pleased surprise at finding themselves still in it. When they reached Field the fire man, with an earnesiness born of convigtion" assured. the excited group awaiting them th had come down the Hill at the rate of 480 miles an hour. The unemotional recotds, however, showed that the actual time consumed in covering the eight miles 'from Hector to Field, including a stop below the tunnel, was seventeen min- utes. Even this seemed to Jimmy Fidler a feat to be vaunted, for no en- gine had ever made the descent of the Big Hill in such fast time; and, it may be added, none has ever done it since, for the average engineer is thagkful for 'the time allowance of forty-two minutes for light engines. The company though, did not recip- rocate Jimmy's sénti ts. Instead of being dismissed in 'usual way, Jimmy was discharge by wire, and, as if that action were not quick en- ough, the message was marked "rush." A Run on Hats.

The ' late Hon. Duncan Cameron Fraser, Liemenant-Governor of Nova Beotia, and formerly member for Guys- boro' in the House of Commons, who died recently, was the hero of many stories which had gathered around his name and his picturesque person- ality in the-course of his le y and varied career as lawyer, judge and politician. frame. Heswas a Scot of the Beot, filled alike with the.pride of race and the gift o' the gab, and his oratory was in equally great demand at Lib- eral campair meeti and banquets of the Bt. Andrew's iety and the Sons of Scotland. { One of the best tales concerning him had its locale.at a political meet- ing in his native province.

"Gentlemen," he said, "I do not know whether you will believe me or not, but it is nevertheless a fact that at school I was only once teacher--andrthat was for tell. ing the truth." "Weely, Tuncan," came the quick retort in the high-pitched tones of an aged and shrewd Heelan' mon, "it cured a' rich" Another anecdote which showed tha innate kindliness and generosity of Mr. Fraser comcealed under a } exterior was contributed several years ago by a Toronto news an to the annual program- issued by the To- ronto Press Club. Under the caption "A Nowa Scotia. Angel in Disguise," the story runs In the days beforestelephones were in use in the United:Btates to the ex- tent that they are now, a Canadian newspaperman was stranded in the good old city of Boston. After several days of the strenuous.life without the wherewithal to support his strenuos- ity, he managed to get same space work on the old Journal. He "made good" in a fashion, and was congrat- ulating himself that the days of park benches for sleeping places and a tightening of his waist"band for meals were over, But the first night, or rather early in the morming, the cit editor called him across to his des and said: "Take a herdic and go.out to Brook. line, call on Mr. Blank at such and 'such an address, and ask him whether it is true that his wife has left his house and entered action for divorce. Don't come. back without the story and bring the photos.of the principals with you." The Canadian, who:had not lost all sense of decency, and who still re- tained his belief that A IWRDApOTuah might be a gentleman and t ring a reporter was not synonymous with being a cad, felt his breath come in gasps at the very idea. He was about to Biptest, when the city editor was called to the chief's.sanctum, and the chance was Jost. He had to go at the assignment, or quit. i «choice. A man It was a with an empty pocket has sometimes to his pride in lien of some- thing else wherewith to fill it, and hunger won the day. Accordingly the Canadian started out. He went over to the Tremont House in search of 1 herdic, and was feeling just about a: miserable as any self ing mau 'could, wheri he was hailed by a cheery voice of Gaelic accent: "Hullo, what are you doing heve?"' The Good Sa- maritan (for such do eoved to be) was a burly Nova -politician, well known all over the Dominion for the strength of his voice, and now occupying the highest place in the gifs of the ¢rown in his native province. The reporter told his story--how he had outrun the. constable, how he had been stranded, and finally the dis- agreeable assignment which he had been given. "Come here, youngster," said the Nova Scotian, and he took the lad by the arm, "You are not.going to Brook- line to-night or any other night on such a mission. You are going to sleep right in this hotel, and you are going to have a good supper. Leave it to me to attend to that city editor." And they went in together. The re- porter went down to the restaurant and filled himself with Boston chicken pie; the politician went away to return half an hour later with the remark, "Here's the price of your day's work. That Jack-in-office won't ask a Cana- dian boy to prostitute himself again in a hurry." Then they had a drink and went to bed, the boy to dream of an angel Montreal awaiting him in an envelope.
