shotwas a mongrel and not very propo but he must have had huntingdog blood in him for he was always in demand during the shooting season my father was a locomotive engineer and for several years the dog had been in the habit of riding up and down the road on passenger trains during the autumn months looking for soese one to ac company on a hunting trip some times he would be gone from home tor a week or monger he was my property and i was proud at his in telligence and ability to take care of himself father however held him in slight esteem and several times threatened to get rid of him when back in 1896 the thanksgiv ing holidays rolled around shot had been gone for nearly a month and we almost given him up for lost father had promised me a trip on the engine to chicago the eastern end of the illinois division and also the ter minus of the road we made the run on tuesday we would start back thursday evening imagine my joy at and lag old shot at the chicago round house evidently some one who did not know htm and thought he was lost had taken him to the city and his own nose had led him to the roundhouse in time to meet his young master in a stvange land although father wanted to give him to some one in chicago i coaxed him letting me take him home or engine at fivetortyflve oclock in the afternoon we left chicago with train of eight cars known as number eleven we were scheduled to arrive at ransom our home town one hun dred and eightyfive miles away at tentwenty that was fast time in those days and since there were seven stbps father usually had all he could do to make it his engine no 1106 was almost new and was one of the first of the high wheelers that were beginning to be adopted for pas senger service i had had a fine time in chicago and sitting there on the nreman seat with old shot curled up at my feet in the little apace between the seat and the front window i suppose i was aa happy as any boy alive the weather was good and we covered threefourths of the division without special incident then peering down the right of way i suddenly saw a light wave rapidly back and forth across the track some distance ahead father saw a too i heard his toot toot and looking across the cab saw him shut off the power and apply the air brakes his first thought he said afterwards was that something was wrong at the bridge across mill river which was leas than a mile ahead train robbers was the thought that leaped to my fourteenyearold mind jim sawyer the nreman got up in front of me to see what was going on as he did so i slipped down from the seat and unseen by father or jim who were watching the track ahead clambered to the top of the coal in the tender there i paused on hands and knees well back from the edge of the pile shot had followed and was close to my side the train stepped and father was reaching for the whistle to notify flagman to protect the rear when two man in black masks appeared in the gangway from opposite sides and he and sawyer found themselves looking into tare revolvers i flattened myself out on the black coal where my blue suit was invisible to anyone below i heard some one at the coupling between the tender and the mall car and heard a voice order father to pull up a little when the engine and the tender stopped some fifty feet from the train the two men who had boarded the engine ordered father and jim to get down and go back with them i waited several ntoments before i raised my head to peer in the direc tion of the train- there by the dim light of lanterns could see a small group of men near them to ithtpvatfti wam-oup- henas across i tn a flash barking hem that i had capable of nji i dial not wait to see idnr rnenhut leaood bade arid up to the cab f pulled hi throttle at the sound of tne aihauat i pulled at it again and then sprang baok to the shelter of tine ten der hei i crouched rjfeathless sjhontxtne coal hardly had i done so when several shot rain out and a bullet went through the nremats window i wis tore that if the dog did hot prevent thero one or more of the bandtttsj would try to reach the engine before upquld get under way arid i won dmd lattb a shiver iwfaat they would dbtj rne v thfey managed to cllnrp aboard then t heard several more shots but no 1106 was already leaping ahead- i knew that each turn of fbe giant wheels was carry ing us more than eighteen feet when the shooting ceased i climb ed up to fathers seat and tried to ease trie reverse teyer back toward the centre n had never been able to handle theailg bar without fathers help however and after a few des perate trials i gave it up and set the throttle in a little i knew from the exhaust that the big machine getting top much steam and that we are already tearing across the coun try at a terrific pace the mill river bridge loomed the blare of the headlight a quarter of a mile- away as we reached the abutment it seemedj to me as tf my steed had paused and then sprang across with a single leap the town of wuson creek was only a few miles west of the bridge i put my on ttw throttle and wondered whether i should be able to use the air brakes all right i had used them in the yards when father was on the seat by rxy side but this was different when the big beam of light reveal ed the little sheduke depot and a freight train on the siding i shut oft the power and began nervously to linger the little brass handle that controlled the air we were getting nearer nearer i slipped it over one notch then another a if clutched by invisible hands 1108 began to hold back and i had to brace myself against- the reverse bar to keep my seat as at greatly reduced speed we came abreast of the station i set the little lever to the last notch and we stopped with a jerk- the freight crew and some waiting passengers stared when they saw a slight boy hatless and covered with grime climb down from the cab train robbers i gasped holdhv up levenl bout five miles 1 hurry up or theyll get all the gold and kill my lather 1 hurry hurry i yell ed as they crowded about me three minutes later i was on the firemans seat of no 1105 repeating my story to the town marshal while peter buckley engineer of the freight train horsed her over and opened the ikotue in the gsmyway and on the coal were a doaen men with re volvers and one triad a rifle when we crossed the bridge it seemed to me that buckley was not going so fast as he should for we did not leap across the river past enough for me said the mar- shall when i mentioned it more than a mile a minute ill bet do you want him to pile us up in the ditch as father told me afterward when the robbers heard the engine depart thvey realised that some one was go ing for help and they redoubled their assaults on the door of the express car it was beginning to yield when they heard the exhaust of the re- turntng engine and with a few de parting shots fled there were seven in the gang were captured within j the- ami aft iff

smaller but this to say the least would be no disadvantage all over ontario the lower forma- of our lush schools have many pupils who could have done much more effective work in the securing of an education back in the public school for another year or so the present school course which culminates in the prescribed studies from which entrance exabuna- tlon papers are set is oomprenenlsve enough if thoroughly mastered and assimilated to give the average boy girl ail the education a stamp is now necessary on any cheque issued for any amount there is a possibility however of cheques up to five dollars being exempted a change made this year apart from removing the exemption up to ten dollars provides that in applying the stamps either the little blue twocent excise stamp or a twocent postage stamp may be used heretofore only the excise stamp has been permissible there have been complaints that this is inconvenient especially in rural parts the excise stamp was adopted some years ago on the insistence of the minister of national revenue who claimed this revenue belonged to the excise department and not the post office this view prevailed and postage stamps were not allowed to be used now one may employ either stamp in the discussion there were several suggestions for doing away with tbe stamp tax on cheques up to five dollars creamery cheques were specially referred to many of them being less than one dollar a stamp tax on them was considered a nuis ance the prune minister promised careful consideration before the bill is disposed of the government will then determine whether or not such action as is auggesed is warranted going mark the minister further paints out that the cold storage facilities which the government is assisting to provide for the proper storage of fruit will strengthen ontarios hold on overseas markets five new cold storage plants are either under way or being plann ed the addition to the norflolk plant will double its present capacity and take care of the expected crop of 100000 barrels in that district prince edward gro are erecting a new plant at ptcton where fruit will be graded precooled and stored a growers organization has been

20yearold cherry tree that has just borne a crop of 26 baskets of fruit down in norfolk county in one of the oldest and most noted orchards tn that district known as the mclnally farm there is a 24yearold tree that will yield this year approximately 100 sixouart baskets of cherries there are hundreds of other trees in the mc lnally orchard that will bear almost as prollflcally in all the orchard- has about 1500 trees they were planted 24 years ago in a gravel soil and have been carefully husbanded thoroughly sprayed and cultivated they include light and dark blgarreau cherries windsor montmorency and governor wood the orchard will this year yield between five and six thousand bas kets which arc marketed in ontario and quebec- cities last year some of these fine cherries brought as high as 1175 a basket the trees are fairly groaning under the exceptionally heavy yield and every twig has its clusters in fact some of the trees give the impression of a solid mass of cherries they are entirely free from blight and pests akhough the sultry weather of early july caused some dry rot in the fruit the mclnally farm ha sheen in the family for one hundred years it ls one of the finest
