A MOVING PICTURE STORY.

Some years ago a young man with more ambition than money went West in search of fortune. Through no fault of his he finally found himself far out on the plains without friends or money He was fighting his way across the Rocky Mountains, walking by day and catching what free rides he could on the night freight trains. At last he found himself at a water tank, miles from any habitation, thinly clad, penniless, weak from hunger and exhaustion. Life seemed a failure, and not worth the battle. A freight stopped for water, and the engineer, seeing his pitiable condition, told him to climb into the cab. The dinner-pail was brought out, and one of the two had a hearty meal. At the end of the run the young man was awakened, and found himself literally over the mountain, in a land of sunshine and plenty. With tears of gratitude he told the engineer he would never forget him. Ten years passed, and both fame and fortune smiled on the chance pas-i senger. He had foreseen the possibilities of a vast business, then new, but now found in every city and town. He had made inventions and improvements which contributed largely to its development and success. Ho was worth his millions; his name was known throughout the world wherever moving pictures flash. One day, in taking a short cut through the park, he hurriedly passed a most wretchedlooking man, ragged and thin, who was sitting on a bench with bowed head, a picture of despair. Bankers and capitalists were even then waiting to hold an important directors’ meeting, and time was precious. But something in the unfortunate man seemed to specially call for sympathy, and retracing his steps, ho stood before the bench. He spoke to the man, who had been a locomotive engineer in Mexico, was doing well, ran over a native, bad to lleo the country; been unable to secure a run on reaching his own land, and was now at the end of his resources. Yes, ho proved' to he the same engineer, and his former passenger “made good.” He dressed him and gave him money ; he rented a place of amusement and sot him up with th.' finest moving picture est iblishr'c t : the city, where lie prospered, and ,n v owns lb “movies” and ’s won i n million dollars.
