Anyone who has ever ridden on a railroad rail-road train has taken a chance on finding himself in just such a terrifying situation. As luck would have it, it happened to Fenton Barrett of Shaker Hollow, South Salem, N. Y. And, boys and girls, I wish it to be distinctly understood that I am very glad it happened to Fent Barrett, and not to me. Fent Barrett is an actor. He had just finished a run in a successful musical show on Broadway not lone before he starred in th thriller he is going to tell us about now. When the show closed, he went south for a vacation, but he hadn't been there long when he got a wire telling nun xo come DacK to JNew York and start rehearsals in a new production. Fent left that night for Washington, and in Washington he got aboard the train for New York the train that was to carry him right smack into the most thrilling moment of his life. Fire Started in the Wash Room. It was a hot day. the first of Aueust. 1928. Fent decided to ride in the smoker where he could take his coat off and be comfortable. Usually the smoker is up front, next to the baggage car, but in this case it was the last car on the train. The train bowled along over the countryside, without anv interruDtion. and without any hint of the drama that was to come. It was getting near the Big City, and the train porter came in and began cleaning up the car. Fent was sitting in the third seat from the front, and was watching the porter idly as he moved about. The train was coming into The Whole Wash Room Was Roaring With Flame. Elizabeth, N. J., and the porter, with a large bundle of old newspapers, had just gone into the men's wash room. "That porter," says Fenf, "had been in the wash room only a few seconds when suddenly he came leaping out into the aisle. As he did, I saw the reflection of flames on the highly polished door. The porter made a desperate attempt to close the door, but by this time the whole wash room was roaring with flame, and he was beaten back." . Fent jumped to his feet. He was one of seven men in the car including the conductor and porter. Before he could get out of his seat, the flames were almost on him, and he had barely time to grab his coat and brief case and dash to the rear of the car. Couldn't Stop the Blazing Train. Meanwhile, with all the windows open, the blaze spread through the car like wild fire. As Fent reached the rear of the car he looked back, just in time to see the conductor reach for the signal rope to stop the train. The rope was blazing, even as he grabbed for it. As he pulled on it, it snapped in two. Their only way of communicating with the engineer the only means of stopping that speeding train was gone. "We all crowded back to the rear platform," says Fent, "and divided three on each side. The porter had climbed over the iron gate and was hanging to the back end of the train for dear life. By this time half the car was on fire, and with us inthe last car and the train doing sixty-five miles an hour, it certainly looked bad. "One of the passengers became hysterical and the conductor had a hard time trying to keep him from jumping off the back end of the train. We were all choking and almost overcome by smoke and the fumes of burning paint and varnish. I felt myself getting panicky and dropped to my knees and put my nose to the floor, trying to get a good breath of air." The fire was all through the car by this time streaming right down the aisle and shooting out the door onto the rear platform. Fent felt something move beneath him. It was that iron lid which covers the steps. The porter had loosened it and was motioning the three men who were standing on it to step back so he could swing it open. They squirmed around until they could get it up, and then they crowded down onto the steps. All Jumped at 30-Mile Speed. The porter screamed to them not to jump. The flames crowded them harder now, and Fent was kept busy dodging broken glass and tongues of fire that licked back at him through the rear windows. The heat was so terrific that he made up his mind to jump soon, rather than be burned to death. And then the brakes went on. The train started to jerk and slow down. It slowed from sixty-five to fifty to forty. When it was going about thirty, Fent jumped, and the rest of them followed. "I was thrown up against the bank," Fent says, "but I wasn't badly hurt. A few scratches and bruises but I was too glad to be off that burning car to pay any attention to a little thing like that. The tram went on for half a mile before it came to a stop, and we ran and caught up with it. By that time, the car we had been in was just a red-hot steel frame. Not a window or a seat left. And they were having quite a time trying to disconnect it from the rest of the train because the steel was so hot the brakeman couldn't touch the couplings. We got into another car, I fell into the seat exhausted, for it was then that I first realized what I had been through. Copyright. WNU Service. Wild Dog Known as Dingo ' Ancient as the race of dogs may be, nobody yet definitely has traced their kinship to other mammals. What sort or form of animal preceded pre-ceded the domesticated dog as we know him still is a moot question. However, there are some forms of the animal which must more closely resemble the prehistoric than any of those commonly known. Among them is the native wild dog of Australia, Aus-tralia, also known as the dingo. The Name Eunice The name Eunice is of Greek origin and means "happily victorious." victori-ous." It appears in the Bible in II Tim. 1, 5, where the implication is of devout faith. This Eunice was Timothy's mother.

Once, learning learn-ing how to scull, his teacher cautioned cau-tioned him about getting into the light boat, explaining how he must use extreme care and get exactly in the center. But William of Ho-henzollern, Ho-henzollern, who had never taken advice from any one in his life and was always convinced that he himself knew best, answered the advice by jumping into the boat from the wharf, capsizing it, of course, and throwing him and his instructor into the water.
