Fifteen years ago it was quite an other story At that time Glen was in the midst of its boom ay a prospective summer resort arid father bought the barren little plot of gravel and bare granite upon which lie had erected his store ho had paid for it at the rate of a front foot and hod trouble in getting it at that But he had died long since broken in fortune and in spirit The big dismantled Sanatorium on the hill was utterly abandoned Half the glass in its dark dirty windows was broken squirrels scurried over the Bagging the door threw a fresh supply of con on the fire and waited and

the digestion Our hook tells more about it Sent free SCOTT verandah warping shingles blow down from the roof in every storm the eaves were a hive for wasps and hornets The streets that were so hopefully laid out led no where Park Avenue started well hut soon lost itself among brambles and bushes its pretentious name hung askew from its rotten post held by one rusty nail The however was kept up for there was still a little country trade Mrs Stearns lived with her daughter in the upper story and man aged to sell or barter across the dingy counter cotton thread nails molasses and patent medicines enough to pay the interest on the mortgage and live Lena who was now eighteen had to do something of course and as she was unmistakably a blight girl and had mastered bookkeeping and telegraphy she easily obtained the un important position of station agent at where she sold half a dozen tickets a week lagged a train when there was a passenger and boarded at home Lena was not only bright and efficient but decidedly pretty This fact had been discovered by John the station agent at Pine Ridge ten miles above it was a source of regret to him that he was not the only discoverer As it was he per versely turned his back on the well stocked stores at the ridge and did a suspicious amount of trading at the Glen He also did more telegraphing at times than business seemed to re quire The wires must have felt a queer thrill as some of those messages pulsed them though the words were as trivial and remote from the senti ments they voiced as in any other rus tic courtship Though scarcely any money ever found lodgement at Glen a good deal passed through it About miles below were the great saw mills at Sabine Falls and every week a heavy cash box was expressed thith er from the city to pay the men The train which conveyed it however scarcely ever stopped at the little flag station but there was one notable ex ception It was about the middle of March and heavy rains had stripped the hills of their white winter cloaks Theyre just like folks who lay off their wraps too soon thought Lena drawing her fleecy fascinator more closely her neck and shoulders for the sky had cleared and the air was growing frosty Theyjook as it they were their death of cold She was standing on the platform watching the express as it rounded the To her surprise it slowed and came to a stop though she had it The door of the baggage car slid open and the agent jumped out dragging the cash box after him Shall have to leave this here to night ho Bad out at Tamarack Crook three miles down and we cant got through to Sabine possibly orders are to run back at once Have wired to the mills to send men down by the road and theyll be here soon Itll bo all right nobody else will know the stuffs here Come well put in the safe for you So Lena opened the safe while the agent with the help of a brought in a box It was a snug fit though she pulled out all books to make room for it Then boarded the train which slowly brack ed up the lino until it was out of night girl depot look- worried about that money ho mused She- isnt used to that sort of thing But it cant have been in her hands more than half an hour The telegraph at his elbow was clicking in an uneasy irregular fash ion but he had scarcely noticed it All at once the signal sounded loudly This was followed by an unintelligible ring that even his practised ear could make nothing of it Then after a moments silence came words broken and fluttering but to his quick apprehension they sounded like an articulate cry 00 Help Then a eon- fusion of clicks and again the instru ment seemed to cry out save Ho sprang to the key and tried to telegraph but he could get no response The wires seemed badly out of order Ho was much alarmed Something was wrong horribly wrong at Glen It would not do to waste time He rah out of the depot Look after things Mac ho called to the baggage man His was leaning against the building ho had brought it out that day for the first time since winter set in With a quick push and a leap he was in the saddle bounding along the dim frozen road Dim yet for mere starlight the night seemed wonderfully luminous But the light was fitful there were moments when all seemed buried in darkness Then the landscape bright ened as if tho moon had emerged from behind a cloud But there- was no moon he knew that the moon would not rise till morning was near The railway circled the foot of the hill but the road ran straight over the summit By strenuous effort he had already reached the crest and the hard drived wheel leaped forward with a fresh burst of speed as if it felt the downward slope Suddenly the air seemed full of rosy light as if tinged with the glow of dawn Though he was now running at a breakneck pace he glanced up ward The sky was aflame with the flickering pennants of the aurora Near the horizon lay a bank of dusty haze through which the stars gleamed faintly Above it wavered a pale phosphorescent curtain which shivered as shaken by gusts of wind from behind while ruddy streamers shot up to the very zenith and flicker ed and waned and brightened It was ft magnificent display but the descent was becoming steeper every moment he was to keep eyes fixed on the road He was now running down the rough track with a violence that al most defied control The overstrain ed tubing gave under his weight to the very limit of its strength the machine heaved and palpitated like a frightened horse and shied wildly amid the ruts and stones that he could not avoid At a sharp turn in the road he swung out so far that he felt the hind slipping on the edge and barely plunging down the embankment then the depot flashed into view After that the bicycle must have its own course for was not conscious of it For the sash was raised and against the yellow lamplight he saw the dark out line of a man through the opening another followed last had scarcely disappeared when his wheel came to a stop in the deep sand of the station yard He dropped from the saddle pulled a revolver from his hip pocket and sprang to the window The depot consisted of a single room and safe and telegraphic ap paratus were on the further side In the middle of the floor stood Lena defiant with clinched hands and glow ing cheeks looking straight down the muzzle of a pistol that a huge desperado was holding close to her fa co You unlock that safe right quick and no he was saying I wont I cant The other intruder a seedy littlo fellow with thin and hatchet face was at the safe examining the lock He turned toward girl Ye might as well save trouble he know whats here and were going to have it This is biz understand We shant hurt ye if behave The girl glanced at him with angry contempt Her blood was boiling There aint going to be no one to help ye the fellow continued The road bridge is down swept away by the freshet and the fellers from the mills wont get here yet awhile mas too far off and she aint no good anyway Weve got to have that key fur we aint got no tools handy Be lively now We kin be rough if we have With a sudden motion Lena pulled the key from her apron pocket The big ruffian beside her snatched at it lowering his pistol as he did bo but quickness of a cat she flung the little piece of steel through the open door of the stove where it slip ped down among the glowing coals The fellow caught up the poker and plunged it into the redhot mass but while his back was turned she had darted across the room and jerked open a drawer Throw up your hands you The command came in a hoarse roar from the open window The desperado wheeled saw a fierce livid face glaring in from the outer gloom saw also a leveled weapon and suspected more behind He dropped his pistol and obeyed Laying left hand on the sill John leaped through the window with one bound There is no record breaker like love and anger in things athletic Meanwhile the lesser villain was struggling with fastenings of the nearest window but when he glanced over his shoulder and caught the glint of another re volver in the hands of Lena as she stood by the open drawer he desist ed Give it up he said coolly Ye got me sure little girl though how them fellers got across so quick beats me Now dont get nervous with that popper of yourn Ill rest easy an I aint got no gun anyway Give me your pistol Lena said his voice stil quaking with excitement Now you two brutes stand here face to the wall hands up Lena please send a message through to for a train and a posse She sent the message as she was bidden but the steadiness was gone from her hand and the color from her cheek She felt faint she threw open the door and gazed up the track The night had grown very dark though a filmy veil of auroral light still flitted now and then across the starry back ground At length the rumble of an engine was heard a welcome sound to whose arms were so palsied with weariness and nervous tension that he could hardly hold the pistols It was just as well that his prisoners were so placed that they could not see him Soon however they were in the hands of the deputysheriff and the strain was over sat holding both Lenas hands in his I cant understand it he said How did ib happen dear that you telegraphed me for help so long before these villains reached the depot I telegraph she cried Why I didnt I couldnt I hadnt the small est chance until after you came just in the hick of time and saved me John exclaimed burly Mac who was standing by Ill believe them northern lights done it likely You know what a fiddle faddle theyll make long the wires an set all the sounors An Im somebodys dono the rest Ifc was a message straight from Heaven murmured Lena And doubtlosa both and Mao were right per annum If paid in The No A fine young fellow was Tom Jeff reys and good look ing He was about eighteen years of age when he began railroading but he could set a brake with the When his clear deep voice announced the stations people listened and made no mislake Old ladies caught the gleam of his pleasant eye and let help them on or off with grateful sur prise Mothers with more children than they manage tired men bundle laden and old men recognized a friend and made use of him Nor were the railroad officials blind to the young mans usefulness and popular ity and although Tom did not even dream of ifc his wag on the list of that meant promotion The young easygoing good nature was however draw back in one direction He dis liked to say No When the train reached Boston al ways had two hours to spare In that time some one of the boys were sure to say Come Tom let us go to the barbers Now this sounded very innocent but in the barbers back room was a green door which opened into a stairway leading down into a drinking saloon Here the men used to gather a few at a time to take a little something Tom usually said good humored No that meant a reluctant Yes and ended by going He never felt wholly at ease when taking his beer He would not have taken it alone Over and over again he acknowledged to that it was the laughter of his chums that took his courage away and so things went on A year slipped by and beer had become an almost everyday drink with him when one afternoon he was summoned from the barber shop to the office Jeffreys said the superintend ent when he entered I have been very much pleased with the way you duties have been performed in the past and I find we need another con ductor The gentleman suddenly stopped and then the pleasant smile was gone Mr Jeffreys your breath tells me that you have been drink- mg Only little beer air said poor Tom flushing crimson I am very sorry replied the superintendent but that will today you may go The young man left the office down cast disheartened What he had been wishing for what he had so nearly gained had been lost through his own misconduct As he thought of it the good lips took on a firmer curve The nest day one of the boys said over to the barbers No replied Tom 0 come on what struck yer That barber has shaved me all he will I was the answer Although Toms NoV seemed very determined in its sound there was yet something wanting in it Ho felt it and when after a few days the longing for a glass of liquor became felt it seemed as if fche No would become Yes in spite of himself No use in the barn now said his the is stole the super knows youve taken a smile now and again and hell never forget Better be young while you can Tom still said No but the little negative grew weaker and weaker the next thing would be yes When fchis was almost accomplished spurn ed by danger and remembering early training in the righfc he went into an empty car and kneeling on tho floor prayed for strength to And then ho said I learned to- speak a No that all the on the road couldnt turn into a Yes The AttomeyGenerara depart ment will be requested to send an of ficer to near to investigate an alleged case of arseni cal poisoning in which two young men named William and James Moore narrowly escaped losing their lives It appears that they took their dinner cans to field with them and after partaking of lunch
