"Ding me If there wasnt a lot of dta
cuaslon about those signals," said tha

ging along about 45 miles an hour
with a heavy train V come up agaia'

atandbV.
"Now, Danvera Croeein waa a bad
spot to get stopped, 'n It didat tend
to amooth anyone's feella's to lay
there- the required time for aatomatie
signals n find everything all right
"Of courae, there waa only one ex
planation. Snooks.
"Oh, yea, we decided that at a pro
tracted session of the stove commltr
tee. Farmer Bailey and bis two chil
dren were killed at Danvera CrossuV
duria' that winter V It waa only
"natural that their departed spirits
ahould get back by tamperlm with the
signals and set the operatta depart
ment of the road by the ears.
"What seemed to make the spook
theory more plausible' waa that the
tampering with the signals did not
begin unto after negotiations with the
railroad company by Balley'a relativea'
for damage clalma'had become dead
locked. "But I wouldn't fall for any such
thlngamajlgs In mine. However, the
afgnala up that way continued to play
hob with us, n' reports 'n complaints
at the main office didn't bring any Im
provement There was a reign of ter
ror among the train crewa.
1 was comln' east one night with
first 85, the livestock express, 'n' only
had just aa much time aa the law ai
lowa to get In "a make the export
steamer with 'em. I wasn't thlnkin'
much about spooks or spirits, but just
merely payin' attention to business.
"I wsa ahakm 'em along right lively
when comln' along there by Danvera
Crossln' the red .light on the signal
pole waa ahlnln' as brightly as the big
ruoy In the rajah's crown. I kept
steam on just as long aa I possibly
could, thlnkin' that the signal would
turn to white. But it didn't, n I came
to a dead stop.
"From what I could see the track la
the block ahead waa just aa clear as
a politicUn's conscience. However, 1
had to wait the required tea minutes
before procedin. Well, sir, the lan
guage I used about spooks a' auto
matic block signals In general while
we were standln there would have
sterilized milk.
"All of a sudden -down behind a
bush near the track was a aplashln.
wallerln' sound, as If some sue had
slipped n made a false step In the
ditch. k Immediately I thought It a
part of my duties to go down there
n Investigate. Iebbe I might see
Farmer Bailey's shade n talk him
out of this foolishness of tryin' to get
hep tamperln' with our signal system.
"I ran down the bank toward the
bush. The spook saw me comln' first
'n' evidently not wlshin' to be Inter
viewed, started to leg It across lots,
me hi full pursuit.
"It beat any Marathon cross-country
race you ever saw, nfy contest with
that shade. He was pretty swift on
his spindles 'n' I'm no' sellin' plater
myself.
"I was closln' the gap on him pretty
rapidly 'n' I was just mad enough to
give that ghost a good slap on the halo
when I caught up to him. ' Comln' to a
little brook crossln' the lot the spook
decided not to take the Liverpool an'
he stopped so suddenly that I nearly
went through him.
" Well,' I says, swingln' him aroun'.
the pleasure Is all mine. Toucan'
