I was fireman on 07 , which was used In tlio passenger service. She had the largest drivers on the road , and they only measured forty-eight Inches In di ameter. Matt Irwln was the engineer. 'Sixty-seven had just been housed aft- cr.n run. 1 was fllllng.tho oil cans and Matt was hauling olT his overalls when Mr. Fox , J.ho superintendent , climbed Into the cab. After a few commonplace remarks he said abruptly : k * ' "Matt , there's been a big mistake made In the higher olllces but that Is not for us to criticise and there Is but one way to rectify It. " Here ihe superintendent's voice drop- ' nod to a whisper. "One hundred and fifty thousand dollars In gold has not / to be in H before midnight , to con nect with the eastern express , and you are the man selected to take It through. " 'Old Matt showed his astonishment with his eyes , but never opened his mouth. The superintendent merely glanced at me and , turning to Matt , continued : "A lone engine might create suspi cion , so we'll make up a wild freight. They'll all bo empties. Hack down to the olllces be-fore you couple on , and we'll put the safe under the coal In the tender. " That was all. He Jumped off and dis appeared. For some time Matt and I sat staring nt each other. Then he slid off his seat and said : "This won't do ! Supper. Harry : sup per ! We haven't much time to lose. It only lacks a few minutes of G. He back before the quarter. " The wind was whistling among the cars , whisking the dust and papers about , while in the south a big black cloud was coming up. resplendent with chain lightning. Altogether the night promised to be unusually bad. I was back on time , but Matt was there before me. He had lighted the. shaded steam gauge lamp and stood scanning a'small piece of pasteboard. "What do you make of this. Harry ? " he asked as I cllmbe'd up beside him. "I found It pinned to my cushion. " On It was scrawled with a lead pen cil the words : Dar.pcr ! Don't pull the wild freight tonight if you \aluc jour Ihcs. A TliCE I'aiKNn. "I make It that some ono beside the superintendent and us knows of it , " I replied , the cold shivers beginning to chase each other up my spinal column. "There's danger ahead ! " "Aye , there Is danger ahead , my boy. " And old Matt spoke softer than I had ever heard him before. "If you want to1' "I'll go where you lead , " I replied quickly , knowing what he was going to say. i "Then we'll go through If it takes the wheels out from under ! Ring up { the wipers ! " i And. without waiting for the hostler I to run the engine out , old Matt backed her on to the turntable , where the wipers swung her around , and then we ! backed down to the olllces , where four trusty men soon had the square safe under the coal. A few minutes later we were coupled on to a half dozen empty freight cars and a caboose. "There's your orders ! " cried Jimmy O'Connor , the conductor , shoving up the yellow s.heet of tissue paper. Old Matt looked them over , and we began-to move out of town. "We've got a clear track , " he said , looking across at me , and then he drew up the corners of his mouth , and I look- for A quick run. Before we reached the outskirts of the town the rain began to come down In A perfect deluge. Great drops fell , mixed with hall , and In such quantity that the dry drains were soon transformed Into ragIng - Ing creeks. The wind howled and shrieked above the nimble of the train and threatened to lift 07 oft the rails. When the tele graph poles began to snap off , Matt's face began to lengthen. "Good night for wash overs. " he said , "and wash overs are as bad as wash outs ! " It was all down grade , and all the etcain used was to run the air pump. I had only to keep the flro alive. Eight miles down we ran past n Email station where a freight train was side tracked. It had perhaps a dozen cars. Just before we reached It I saw n man dart In between two of the cars to escape the headlight. I thought him either a trainman era a tramp , but have since changed my mind. We were half way down the Haver- pack grade , with a straight stretch of track and a long curve before us , when Matt looked across and said : "I'm afraid tlie little pasteboard'was only a scare. If" There was a Hash of light behind , ( la * rattle of coal and Itoh Duncan , the forward brakomnn , stood In thi > cab. Ills face was as white as a sheet. "Shut her down shut her down , for hc'aven's sake ! " ho Hhotitod. "A. freight's broke loose and Is coming down the grade two miles a mlnutel" Hi'fore you could snap your llngom my face was an pale as Hob's. Matt Irwln noviv lost his her < d nnd with a coolness that comes to few men In time of danger he asked , "How do you know ? " "Sei'ii her by a ( lash of lightning. O'Connor and Hilly have Jumped ! " And then he swung out on the step and disappeared. " .lump If you want to. Harry , " called old Mutt. "I'm going to stick to her. " 1 gave one look at the Egyptian dark ness and concluded that I would stay with old Matt. "Keep your eye peeled for her , " ho cried , and commenced to let 07 out. "Then- she Is ! " I shouted. And there It was , sure enough. It had just come out of a cut. One of he boxes was on lire , the llamo streamIng - Ing back half a car length and cutting thrflugh tle ) air like a meteor , "She's four miles behind , " said old ' Matt"and coming four feet to our one. If we can get around the curve , there's n show of h'er Jumping. " And then began that terrible ride. He hooked 07 up to the HrM notch and then opened the throttle. < With seven cars behind us we shot down the grade of 17. feet to the mile. Sixty-seven set low In her frame , but every low Joint rung her boll for an eighth of a mile. She Jumped and sway ed and threatened to leave the rails. The wind shrieked around us like a thousand demons , and the rain poured against the windows In a perfect stream. "There's danger ahead and death be hind ! " shouted the old engineer. "If the rain loosens a bowlder and drops It on the track" , I shuddered. There was a blasted pine that marked the curve. The next second we reached it. For a moment 1 thought It was all over. Then t7 ! right ed. There was a sharp Jerk. We forg ed ahead faster , and our seven cars cleared the roadbed and went down the bluff with a crash that was heard high above the storm , leaving a clean track for the runaway behind that was coming as swift and sure as death. If the runaway got around the curve , the probabilities were that wo would be knocked from the track Into the riv er. er.We We were , very near to the bottom now , where the roadbed followed the river , and the engineers were cautioned not to run over fifteen miles per hour. Hut orders were not respected that night. We were making thirty miles per hour when a Hash of lightning showed me that dark string of cars coming around the curve. The blazing box was on the opposite side and Invis ible. ible.Old Old Matt gave 07 the steam so sud denly she seemed to jump from under us. but the , runaway was not more than half a mile behind and was com ing with the speed of a tornado. There was no getting out of the way. In a moment It would be on us. I Im agined I could see the black mass cpm- ing down on us In the darkness , when a heavy rumble was beard , followed i by a tremendous crash. The rain had loosened the rock and dirt overhanging the track and It only needed the Jar of 07 to set It In motion. Something like 1,000 tons of debris rolled on to the track directly behind us , and into this those runaway cars plunged. Hut we did not find this out unfll aft erward. Matt kept 07 up to what was a tremendous speed on that track. She plunged and rolled and rang her bell continuously. A dozen times I thought we were going Into the river. We pulled through all right , but that was my last trip. When I got off the engine , my hair was streaked with gray and now It is white as snow. For some time It was thought that the runaway cars bad broken loose , but the company became suspicious and had the case looked Into , with the re sult of running down some tough char acters , who finally confessed to cutting them loose with the Intention of ditchIng - Ing us between Haversack grade nnd the bottom nnd securing the treasure. Old Matt has retired from the rend , but 1 do not think that cither he or I shall ever forget the run of 07. YonnR Men nn Author * . Keats was dead when Just n little over his twenty-fifth year.

The arrival of the first batch of let ters after the establishment of rural free delivery In Manslleld , iViiin. , re called to nn aged lady of that town a postal Incident lemembered In her family for I'M yearn. "My mother al ways cried when HIO told the Mory , " Hhc said. When my mother was a little girl , the narrator went on , to have one's let ters regularly brought and handed In at the door would have Nocmcd a miracle of privilege , and to get them without paying postage would have been another. Malls were HO HOW ! and uncertain that the wife arrival of an expected letter by any moans was an event In n country family , with the postofllce miles away. Soulotlmos the delivery was helped along oy volunteer carriers a farmer going homo from the grist mill , a housewife returning from market town with her bargains of lamp oil , Wont India molaKses and green tea , or even a passing peddler with Ills load of tin ware and corn brooms. In the old war time the army had post riders , but they were few. and far between. My grandfather wits a soldier of the Itevolutlon , ami grandmother kepi the homo lire burning here , and provided for their three children as well as she could while he was at the front. All summer she had heard no word of him , and when one autumn day a man In u military cloak rode to the door on a white horse her heart beat quick. "Does Uuth Fuller live hereV" he says , holding a thick letter In his hand. "Yes , I am Itutli Miller , " and grand mother reached eagerly for the letter , for she saw the address In her hus band's handwriting. "The postage Is U shlllln's. " ( iraudmnlhcr's countenance fell , for there wasn't so much money In the house. " ( Juess you don't know me , " remark ed the man , opening his cape and tip ping back his cocked hat , but Htlll holdIng - Ing the letter. She knew him then an enemy capable of a mean revenge. "Ah , yes , you remember Tom Turner and how ho asked you to marry him and you give him 'No , 1 thankee , ' and took .lolm Fuller. I wasn't good enough to marry ye , but I'm good enough now to bring ye letters from the man that did , and I'm good enough to charge ye a steep price for golu * out o' my way. So hand over your 1 ! shlllln's and take your letter. " The poor woman told him she had no money. To be held up In this heartless and Insulting way was a bitter hurt to her. Her grief was deeper than her resentment , but hho was too proud to let the cruel fellow see her weep. "I will get you a good dinner , " film Bald , "and feed your horse and glvo you a pair of nice long stockings. " It was a humiliation to plead with Tom Turner , but she could do no less. "Money or nothiii' , " ho snys , and ho put the letter In his pocket and rode away. Grandmother went into the house and sat down and cried , and her chil dren , clinging about her , cried too. During her long months of waiting , at odd hours she had spun and woven cloth and sewed garments and knitted woolen stockings for John's winter comfort , trusting to Ilud some way to s-ond them to him. Now the messenger had come and gene who could at least have carried word , and ho had refused oven to glvo her her husband's letter. "Ma , ( Jed knows what the bad man did , " sobbed ono of the little oijes. "Ho knows what nice things you've made for pa , and he'll send a good man next time. " The baby'H thought relieved the moth er's despair , and the three lonely hearts prayed and waited anxiously for the "next time , " and , sure enough , before winter came they saw the same white horse galloping toward the house , "lie's orought the letter back ! " they nil cried out together , for they believed the rid- t-r to be the same man. Grandmother rushed from the door with all her children. The horseman held out the same letter , nnd ns he gravely put It Ipto her hands she glanced up to his face and screamed for Joy. "John ! It Is you ! " It did not take her husband long to tell the rest of the story. Torn Turner had returned to headquarters , nnd ono night , made talkative by nn extra ra tion of rum , ho had bragged how he "got even" with an old sweetheart who jilted him. His exploit reached the cars of his commanding officer , who took ntvny his commission nnd put my grandfather In his place. The new post rider had brought his own letter to his wife. It was the first rural free delivery In Mansfield town. Youth's Companion. Cupid' * Gallic , "In nil my life. " she said , with n sigh , " 1 have seen only one man that I would care to marry. " "Did ho look like me ? " he carelessly asked. Then she flung herself Into his nrms nnd wanted to know what secret power men possess that enables them to tell when they arc loved. Chicago Herald.

In the eighteenth chapter nothing happens.

The chapter should be written and should stand , whether good or bad. lie wrote It and left the house because It was bad and he had resolved not to tear It up.
