J. a. 9UIM The Kins of the Hill t By Christopher G. Hazard 1(0, lit'.".', Woatrrn NfWimir Union, ) npiIK long bill glistened In the win- ter moonlight like a frosted cake. The road that rnn down It like a silvered ribbon, reaching across the railroad track ntnl on through the val ley, lost Itself In n shimmering haze of snowy whiteness. The wind, as If afraid of awakening the sleeping town, had hushed Itself Into stillness, waiting along the way and under thu shadows of tho quiet trees for the sig nal of dawn. The scone was an Invita tion to a sport now largely displaced by rushing motor cars, but then one of the chief delights of the Christinas season. The bobsled of those days and nights was the pride of owners nnd the prize winner of competitions. The annals of the Slater Hill race course registered triumphs as real und momentous as those of any race track. The moon had watched with an ex pectant io until ten of the clock and was about to retire under a passing cloud I iv disappointment, when the clamor and shouting of an approach ing crowd renewed Its spirit. From a side street they came, merry lads and lasses, with those of Inter years who had not forgotten how to be young. Soon the head of the hill was crowded with competitors and the air rang with the hustling preparations for the first race. The sleds of that time were no or dinary iiffnlis'. I.:irge enough to hold from four to six pasencers, they ro Jolced in Mgnltloant titles mid all the beaut) and comfort that their maker's art could put into shape, paint and upholster. Vhcn loaded nnd on a Competing Sleds Dashed Away. steep and ley road they were swift enough to distance the wind, ami, un controlled by hit and bridle, they could not be stopped before reaching the foot of the Incline. There was thus enough of adventure In their trips M furnish the tingling excitement that kept out the winter cold. The good natured" rivalry, too, gave Interest to the sport. This year there was a special reason for the gathering, for Tom Atkins, having ioeclvd a Christmas present of a sled of the latest style and named "'I'lwi l.'lmr .if tu. lllll" li.i.l Imnn . ..- ..i(i . ... ...... ...... III".... boasting that the title was a just one and arousing all the determination that the others hud to prove liim wrong. The "Dart," the "Bacer," the "Dauntless," the "Peerless," und others as glorious were eager to lieat the untried ami vaunting newcomer. The tlr.st race was Inconclusive, fur Atkins got a false start and tipped his load over into a snow bank. The sec ond and the third races gave the lau rels to the "Dart" and the "Peerless," respect holy, and left Atkins' heart In ids hoots; hut the fourth attempt end ed with "The King of the III il" a rod ahead and with its owner's chin pro tuberant ami uplifted. Then tlmu went' by with arylng fortunes until the eoncliidliiK ami deciding eimtcst. It was agreed that the winner of this llnal should he crowned the khu; of the hill Indeed, with none to dKpute lilright. Amid the hiihhub of these Inst ar raiigeiueuts no one had heard the dis tant whistle of "Thu Fljer," as the night expioss for Boston was called, and the competing sleds dashed away down the long descent without a thought of diuiKcr, nor, until half way down, did any danger appear, but then the locomotive's headlight' Hashed around the curve and upon the cross ing, now but a short Ilntauce away with a baleful and threatening glarK The other sleds, somewhat In the rear, were steered Into thu roadside snow or left to take care of them selves as their riders rolled off, but "The King of the Hill" kept on, In seeming Ignorance of the Imminent collision. Not until the warning blasts of the engine whistle seemed to startle him Into action dlil Atkins move to sure himself and his load. Then, with, a wrench of his steering gear and u sturdy leg-sweep, 1)6 brought his sled about, throwing it over upon Its -side and upon its fright ened load as the train swept by, al most brushing theut on Its way.
