It Is u good place ,to slide down hill when tho snow Is. packed. For a emiplo o( yearn Mm rnll-j load company maintained gntqn(nnd a watclunan nt the: foot of tho hill, and, then ihoy fnunit1 it 'cheaper o fight tho death claims for tho hoys who wcro killed hy the passing trains. 11 wnB always contrlhulory negllgenco on tho part of tbo killed and crippled, and tho conrtr Wore lenient "wlllfUie 'coK poratlnn. It was said that two or three doc loro had, settled In the town because af tho many uecldonts nt tho Castle Hill crossing, hut It Is only fain to Hay of young Dr. Hush that ho was Ig norant or localities when ho hung out IiIh sign, llo had secured his diploma as an M. D and ho had to settle down Bomowhero In cMnlillsli a practice, llo seleclml (Irociilruf In Juno, and there ho was 'when Iho snow came, and ho hadn't , earned his salt, llo wns for. tunnto enough to hnvo tt rich mother, however, and ho wasn't worrying n groat deal. Three blocks from Cnstlo 1 1 III Hvod tho Warrens, and tho Wnrrnm.- wore Wwn through tlttlo Nan, their only 'child, aa much as from any other source. Ah n girl of 12 she whh culled handsome, cute, cunning, and lota of other things. Sho was a young lady when sho wished to bo, and a romp and tomboy on other occasions. Sho know of tho hill; sho know of tho trains; sho know of tho danger. And yot sho had been found ono winter's night when sho was 11 years old load Ing tho procession of 50 slods down tho hill and over tho tracka. When Doctor Hush had been In (Ircenlenf thrco monthH ho was cnllcd to the Wnrren houso to bind up tf cut finger 'for .illss Nau. Sho hnd heon pinetlelng'thcpwlng tho tomahawk In tho badk ynijl Ad a doctor attending his first patient, tho young inanBhould havo lookt'd and acted very dignified and demanded that Miss Nan Btnnd in awo of him. Rut the contrary was tho enso, It was a case of mutual like, and when he left tho houso nnd tho curnnger behind tho girl said to ber mother: "Aunt Irene Ii coming to vltslt us '.his winter, and I'm going to hnvo her marry Dr. Hush. "W-h-a-t!" "She ought to havo married that rich fellow in Fall Klver, and 1 heard you tell pa so." "I I don't think you ever heard anything of tho kind. Even If you Jid It's not for jou to talk nbout such things. "Hut Aunt Irene hna got to marry somebody, hasn't sho?" "No. Sho may marry, but sho hasn't cot to." ' "llul It will bo nice tr I havo n man picked out for her. It will save time, nnd then he's n doctor besides, llo'll doctor us all and not charge a cent. There njo lots of things going to nil me. and'l don't want pa to have to pay n big doctor's gill." Aunt Irene wasn't an old maid, as tho tltlo would nccm to Imply. On tho contrary, sho wasn't 20 years old yet. Sl could have been aunt and not been ten.1 She arrived on Her visit nt Thanksgiving time, nnd It was to nnd Miss Nan looking very Impor tant nnd mysterious. Thero had bopn no further conversation between tho child nnd mother on tho subjoct of marriage, hut ono party had cultivated Dr. Hush for the last two months, Ono dressing was Mifllctent to Insure n cure for. tho cut finger, but Miss Nnn bad hunted up tho doctors otlico to hnvo thd wound looked after three or four tiroes., Then she ,had, dropped In to soo If there' was n bug In her lei't ear, and to "foe If horMion was all right, and, to ask If r.ldlng.down hill on u sled nt a gco-whlz gn'lt thinned out tho blood and brought on con sumption. Dr. Hush understood her fairly well up to a certain point, and they became good friends. Tho point ho overlooked In Miss Nan was her ulterior motive, Young as she was, sho had set out to make a love-match, nnd sho wanted things ready against Iho iu'rlva.1 of her aunt. Sho studied tho doctor aa deeply as ho did her, and tho conclusion arrived at was' j " " ' ' Aunt Irene may get ecnldod tak ing tho tea-kettle off tho stove she may fnll from n tree bIio may go humping down the cellnr stairs, nnd It will bo handy to hnvo n doctor In the fnmlly. Tho money fhe'd havo to pay out will buy her a set of mhik furs ovory winter. AndMhen ho sings, 'arid 1b n good talker, nnd ho has a gold watch nnd' likes toigotovtho moving picture shows. Oh, yes I shall strongly advise aunty to marry him." For two tlnys after tho arrival of the "condemned" tho marplot carried ,thnt 1-know-somethlng great in her looks nnd nttltudo. Then tho strain became too great for human emliu-4 nnco. and she took Miss Ireno up stairs to tho spare bedroom, nnd after locking the door and pulling down the Bhadcs proceeded tcr 'on nounce: "Well, nunty, It's nil settled." ) What do you menn?" ( , "He's worthy ol you." " " v "Who?" "And you might hnvo looked nnd schemed and planned for five years, land not found his equal." "Nau Warren, will you toll me what C. ROGERS you mean!" demanded the aunt aa sho gave tho child 'a shako. "Dr. Rush." "What about Dr. Hush?" "Cured my finger when 1 cut It with a tomahawk." Hilt what has that got to do with mo?"l ".You are going to fall In lovo with and marry him. I've got it all a'r ranged for!" rixplnnntlonn were demanded and given, and then,Mlus N.an's mother consigned hor to n dungeon as' pun ishment.

Kho hnd. pla'nncd that. When lie: aunt arrived Dr. Hush should bo In vited to the houso socially, but ol course this was out of tho question now. Suspecting that the young girl hnd gone further thau. she W"B rVnt'. to admit, Miss Irono must of dourbe hold tho doctor at arm's length. 0: the morning of tho day that, the prisoner's sentence expired It began to snow ni,d kept It up all day. When night camo thero were four or Ilvo Inches of snow on Cnstlo Hill, and tho boys had sledded for two hours. iDr. Hush had wandered that way. and when challenged by tho boys, hnd taken tho risks. A hoy was stationed at tho foot of tho hill to give notice, of tho coming trains, and all, was go- Ir.g merry nsauut aud, nleco arrived. The former know nothing of the dnn gcr tho lnttcr was Just dying for a gee-whizz ride. A sled was borrowed and down tho hill wont aunt and nleco. One tldo wns not enough. Although MIsr Nan had not yet cnught sight of tho doctor, ho waH going down two minutes ahead of them. That brought him walking hack, and hnlf-wny tip tho hill when he saw n sled coming, nnd at tho samo instant thoro were cric3 of alarm from tho tracks below. An extra was rolling In. Tho coming slod wns hound to strlko one of tho cars If not diverted. Dr. Hush had throe seconds In which to act. Ho throw himself down in tho path of tho sled, and as It struck him It tipped over nnd Its bur den and the doctor were rolled to within a foot of tho Iron wheels. He wns tho, only ono hurt. Nan recog nized him In au Instant, nnd started to cry out, but checked tho exclamation unci said to her aunt. "Ho did It for us and saved our Hvc3. Wo must take him to the houso and enro for him and learn who ho Is. My, but Isn't ho a hero!" "He cortnlnly is." Dr. Hush wasn't sent away to the hospital when his Identity was discov ered nor yet a month later, when his broken nnd mended ribs permitted him to sit in an invnlld's chair. Miss Nnn was no nurso, but alio was a good nnnd to keop track of things, and one lay bIio found herself winking nt her self and saying to herself: "I didn't count on snow, hill, slod nnd train to help bring things nbout, but they just camo because I wanted n doctor for an undo and hus tled things up.

A freight train on tho Scott City branch of tho San tn Fo wns snow bound nnd all ef- ' forts to move tt were without success.

In some of thc'tyUs there are huge masses of snow.lee eight and ten fet deep. Tho rotary tried to. cut through again, hut tho Icy mass broke tho blades of the plowi A aacond rotary1 plow met the same fate. Then u big force of Mexicans with picks, shovels and dynamite tried to open up the Scott City branch and rescue the freight train which got stuck in a big drift Just before tho frcczo came. The train, a local freight, was guard ed by two lono brakemon. They obeyed orders which forbids them to leavo a train standing on tho main lino.

HAVE ' THEIrT"OWN IDIOM? Plcturesquo Language Employed b) Railroader! Would Prove Puzzle to, the Outsider. In Colorado n "boomer" is called n "tourist." Tho boys out thero go tc tho "hennery" to "chew" nnd "kid" the "hasher." If tho,"renr dog" ts cooking on, the "buggy," then thoy go to tho "hearse' ror'thoi",blg mulligan." This, dlsfi Is a stew composed ot nny nnd nil kinds' otnieats and vegetables cooked together. Alter that, to tho "leathers" lor u llttlo "shut-eye." Tho men of tho nuburban electric railways have a slang or their own. In their service, "headend man" or on tho "hend-end," rclers to tho mo torman or, as lie Is commonly known In tho east; the motor-driver. Tho conductor Is on the "rear-end." To become n "rope" or "cord-puller" mentis to secure a conductor's posi tion. "Had her In the corner" means that the motorman gave the car tho lull current. To ("Jack her over" or "Jack her" means to( reverse. When n mo tor burns out on' n four-motor car and tho hend-end shouts td tho rear-end that "sho had lost a lung," it 1b easy to tell Just what ho means. Some tlincrf ho will say "she hasi only thrco lungs." On a two-motor car the head end would say "She has only ono lung." Whon tho! brakes are not working perfectly ,the headend will say that he made 'a stop by "using tho short handle." This is used In reversing, "lilt her hnrd" Is n term used when I he ear goes Into n curve n llttlo too fnst and It is well known that some electric roads have pretty sharp curves. "Met on n single Iron" does not refer to n smashup. It means to meet on n single track without hnv ing a wreck. "Dancing on tho pin" Is tho same as "giving hor Baud," or sanding tho rails.
