Slowly, very Blowly, for Wats put up a good fight, tho fever gained a strong hold on its victim. Gradually he grew delcrlous; first only atl ntorvals, but at Inst his reason was entirely gone. His mind constantly wandered back to his unknown past. He talked wildly During tho heighth of hiB delerlum ho would constantly raise himself to n sitting posturo and listen Intensely for n moment, then fall back on his pil lows, saying: "You certainly heardthat train. You certainly hoard It." Three weeks had elapsed. Tho crisis had passed. Wats, by tho doctor's or ders, wob to got well, and ho gave promise of obeying his orders. It was a Sunday night. How very woll it nil comes back to me. Wats was sleeping peacefully In his upper room nnd I stood in tho room bolow, taking Homo parting Instructions from tho doctor. Tho conversation turned into n different channel and we talked until tho "woe sma' " hours. We had seated ourselves, the doctor facing the door which led Into tho hall. The con versation finally lagged and the doctor roso to his feet to take his departure, when" there was a soun of footsteps on th stairs, and before we could make a move, a white robbed figure sped past tho door and on out into tho star lit night, crying in a wild voice, "It's come at Inst. Oh, My God! It's come!" As if by one impulse and doctor and myself started in pursuit of the flying figure. Down the gravel path In front of the house It sped on out Into the dusty road, straight on towards the railroad track. It ran with the speed of tho wind and though the doctor and I put forth our best efforts we could not gain on it. The white clad figure had Just mounted tho grade to the track and started for that fatal curve when tho shrill whistle of tho midnight freight rang out on the air. It throw up its hands and with a wild, inartlcu lato cfy, sped on towards the coming train. We shouted at tho figure, hop ing to divert Its attention, but still It ran on. JuBt as the doctor and my self reached tho track, tho engine picked up tho frantic shouting figure and throw it to one side. Tenderly wo picked up tho mangled form and boro It home. The train was heavily .loaded and was coming slowly, so that Wats, for It was none other, had not been killed. He Hvod, but that was all. In tho morning consciousness having returned, he asked for a priest the leader of tho llttlo parish came and wo left him alone with Wats. For over an hour I could hear his weak, but determined voice talking rapidly, as though afraid that ho could not finish. Gradually It grew fainter and fainter, then died away- The door opened and tho priest, with bowed head, camo out. "HnB tho end come?" I asked, softly. Ho nodded his head and crossed him self. "Ho wished mo to toll you his story," ho said. "And now while It 1b still fresh In my mind I will givo It to you." Then It was I heard tho story of Wats' life, strange, sorrowful, almost tho llfo of a criminal, as It was. Some day I will glvo It to you. but not now. Wo laid him to rest In tho shadow of thegreat pines, whore I had first seen him, and placed a simple head stono to mark tho spot. Often I camo to sit by tho lonely grave, and wondor if anyone over guessed tho secret It held. The simplo head-stono tolls no tales and 1 know that neither tho old priest or myself will glvo tho slightest Informa tion that In that lonely spot lies tho body of tho notorious train robber for whoso arrest a reward of $5,000 was offered but a short year before.
