Narrative:

At about 60 KTS, master caution light illuminated, mid cargo light came on, takeoff rejected, light went out on taxi off. Returned for takeoff, light came on again and then extinguished on takeoff roll. Second takeoff continued per brief. This was IOE for me, 2 days after simulator training. Due to speed and experience, decided to reject takeoff. Wouldn't have done it at a higher speed.
