This brief message from my firm wae pregnant with significance for me, their traveling salesman, and much as 1 disliked disarranging my plans and doubling on my tracks, I decided to leave for Burkesville at once. 1 knew that Featuerly A Co., the new concern, were rated high and would buy liberally, and my anxiety to get ahead of my competitor, Griggs, who traveled for Dlnkel A Bros, was due to the knowledge that whoever serured the patronage of the new house was reasonably sure to hold It Griggs end I were stopping at th seme hotel In Hannibal, where, for the last two days, we had been leading a merry war over one of the manufacturing concerns there, each trying to n, bow-legg- ed pretty par-ttU- llHuri rnMa - T rushed Into the waiting room for my companion de voyage." forestall the other In fitting out the 1 plant Placing my telegram Into tbe innermost depths of my pocket so as to more effectually conceal Its contents from the grasping and unscrupulous Griggs, I sauntered to the desk and paid my hotel bllL When does the next train go to Burkesville?"

Then Griggs must have bad similar Information and was after tbe same game. It wae annoying! A11 the more reason, however, wby I should burry. 1 jumped Into a cab and reached the station, nervous and excited. "A ticket for Burkesville! I cried. "The train baa Just left! There wont be another till three fifteen in the morning. For a moment the ticket office, with Its vendor, swam before my eyes, and 1 gasped for breath. Then 1 swore a strange, horrible oath, such aa traveling men only use under great provocation. -Griggs, the unscrupulous, bargatn-drlYln- g Griggs, had half a days start of me, and would certainly capture tbe prize I had set my heart oa.

I rushed Into the welting room, tor, my compagnon de voyage, seized her unceremoniously by tbe arm and hurried her Into th train shed, explaining as 1 went In a minute we were oh th locomotive and In another the throttle waa open aad we sped along the line. The girl, who Incidentally told me that her name was Jane Loely, thanked me profusely for my kindness. She became cheerful again at the prospect of reaching her father without delay and we soon became quite confidential. Our other fellow travelers were the engineer, a young fellow of d fireman. They thirty and a were too engrossed In their duties te pay much attention to us, and we were left to our own devices. Traveling on a locomotive is not as luxurious as in a Pullman car. It is not the kind of traveling one would select for a pleasure jaunt The soot, dust, cinders, odor, heat are aU objecbut 1 tionable and uncomfortable, must confess that with all these disabilities it was a most enjoyable trip for me. Firstly, I knew that I would circumvent Griggs and reach town ahead of him. I scented victory and was elated accordingly. Secondly I wa traveling with a most charming girl whose bright eyes and fascinating conversation made me forget the annoyances of the trip and converted th cab of that grimy engine into a ver-- j Itable paradise. We sat on a bench where there w& jut room for two . In fact we had to sit rather close In order not to incommode the engineer, and so w were soon in sympathy with one another.

The stoker piled on the sooty fuel. EWry time he opened the furnac door a heat as of hades burst out Is our direction and the air becami lurid. Great streams of smoke wers belched .out by the chimney and blew Into our faces. Showers of cinders fell about us and filled our eyes, ears, nost and mouth. By tbe time we had traveled an hour, we were scarcely recognizable,, so covered wijh. soot wer wa . But we smiled and were glad in each,, gray-haire- others society.- - Still onward In our exciting chase! was no stop until we reached Burnette, and there we wired for clear track. At the next station, we passed the local train, which had stopped there for water. I got a glimpse of Griggs sitting at a window. He was smiling, no doubt with glee at the ease with which bt had outwitted me. When next ws met the smile had vanished. By ths time we reached Owassa Jane and 1 were the best of friends. We might have known each other a lifetime. Her favorite authors were mine. Sh played the piano and knew all the I most admired. She could pieces speak with me In my favorite language, French. She had all th traita virtues, accomplishments I lcnged for In a girl. She was beautiful and amiable besides. Nothing was wanting she was perfect. And I was in Eden. 1 blessed the loss of my traic ejid th gain of a locomotive. At last, after three hours ride, w pulled In at Burkesville. Jane, after giving me her address and asking me to call, got Into a cab and drove home to her father. I went to the hotel, scrubbed the dirt and T!re ago. Tbe girl turned her eyes towards me. They were wet with tears. Surf eyes! They shone Uke stars through pearls of dew.
