Mr. Dwyer linil been silting whllo the
rnld was buttling down , na ho had been
writing while uniting for the light to

the other correspondents utood in angry
conclmo.
The nowtpapor men hnd iinformed the
olllcors who hemmed them in that they
ropi c"ontod the principal \ npors of the
countiy , and were o.\postulating vigor
ously with the captain who had planned
the raid nnd who declared they worn
under arrest.
"Don't l > o an ass , Scott , " said Mr.
Dwyer , who was too excited to bo pollto

isn't ' n matter of choice. Wo came hereon

"If no don't got our stuff on the wire

What Mr. Dwjer eald next wn ? BO

sloped thospoitlngedltor bythoshouldcr
nnd shoved him into the hands of two of
his men.
This wns more than the distinguished
Mr. Dwyer could brook , andhooxcltedly
raised his hands in resistance. But be
fore ho had time to do nnjthing foolish
his wrist was gripped by ono strong ,
llttlo hand , and ho was conscious that
another vas picking the pockut o ! his
great-coat.
Ho slapped his hand ? to his side , nnd ,
looking down , paw Gallegher standing
close behind him nnd holding him by the
wrist. Mr. Dwyer had forgotten the
boy's existence and would hu\o spoken
sharply iftomuthlng In Gallephcrs in
nocent ojcs had not stopped him.
Gallotthur's hand was still in that
mioKet , in which Mr. Dwyer hud whoved
his note book filled with \\lml ho hail

Then glancing at his two giurdsinen ,
nnd finding- that they were still Inter
ested in the wordy battle of the corre
spondents with their chief , and had HGCII
nothing , he stooped and whispered to
Gallegher : "Tho foims are locked at

town and the countiy too. "

nnd nodilln rhih * liuad to show ho undci-

Then with his eyes fl\ed feaifnllj on

which an officer v.as seal ehing among1
the carriages , ho groped his way be
tween horses' hoofs nnd behind the
wheels of carriages to the cib which ho
luul placed at the fin thorniest gate.
It was still there , and the horio as ho
had left it , with its head tinned toward
the eitj' . Gallccrhor opened the bier
gate noiselessly , and worked nervously
at the hitciiing strap. 'The knot was
covered with a thin coating of Ice , and
itwnssoveial minutes befoio ho could
loosen it. But his teeth finally nulled
itapait. and with the leinsln his hands
ho spuing upon the wheel. And as
ho blood so , a shock of fear tan
down his back like an electric
curiont , his hteath left him , and ho
stood immovable , ga/.ing with wide open
ojesinto the darkness.

Gallagher that the boy felt that ho must
see him. Gallagher stood w 1th ono foot
on the hub of the wheel and the other on
tno bo c ready to spring. It seemed n
imnuto before either ono of them moved
and then the oflicer took a stop forward ,
nnd demanded sternly : ' ' "Who is that ?
"What are you doing there V"
There was no time for narloj * then.
Gallagher foil that ho had boon taken in
the act , and that his only chance lay in
open flight. Ho leaped up on the box ,
pulling out the whip ns ho did so , anil
with n quick sweep lashed the horses
across the head and back. The animal
sprang for waul with a , bnort , nanowly
clcai ing- the gate pot and plunged oil
into the darkness.
"ritopl" cried the officer.
So many of Gallcgher'b acquaintances
among the 'long&hoiemonand mill hands
luul been challenged in so much the
same manner that Gallcplior know what
would piobnbly follow if the challenge
was dihiegaulod. So ho slipped fiom
Ills scat to the footboaid below , and
ducKed his head.
The tin eo reports of a pistol , which
tnng out bilsKly fiom behind him ,
proved that his early tunning had given
film n valuable fund of useful mibccllan-
cons knowledge.
"Don't jou bo scared , " ho sild , reas
suringly , to the hoiso , "he's filing in
the air. "
Tlio pistol-shots weio answered hy the
Impitiunt clangor of a patrol wagon's '

( Jalloghor saw its rodandgreen lanterns
tossing from side to sldo and looking in
the diukncss like the side-lights of n
jacht plunging forward in a storm.
"I hadn't bargained to race you
against no patrol wagons , " said Galla
gher to Ills nnhnal ; "but if they want n
nice we'll give them a tough tussle for
it , won't we ? "
Philadelphia , lying four miles to the
south , seat up n faint jcllow glow to
the sky. Itbceincdoryfar a way , and
Galtoghor's braggadocio grew cold
within him at the loneliness of his ml-
v unturo nnd the thought of the long ride
before him.
It w as still bitterly cold.
The lain nnd sleet beat through his
clothes , and struck his skin with a
sharp chilling touch that sot him trem
bling.
liven the thought of the over-weighted
pnttol wagon probably sticking in the
mud some safe distance in the rear ,
fulled to cheer him , nnd the excitement
that had tofaiiinido him callous to the
cold died out and left him weaker und
norvous.
Hut hK liorso was chilled with the
long standing , nnd now leaped oageily
forward , onlj' too willing to warm the
half-frozen blood in its veins.
"You're a good beast , " snld Galleg
her , plaintively. "You'vo got more
nerve than me. Don't jou go luck on

Ho raced between desolate-looking

Part of his way lay parallel with the

The fantastic Queen Anne suburban

ono or two of the block-towers ho could
see the operators writing at their desks ,
and the sight in some way com foiled
him.

Once ho thought of stopping to iret
out the blanket In which ho hadw rapped
hltnclf on the Hist trip , but ho fcired
to spire the time , nnd drove on with his
t'oth chattering and his shoulders slink
ing with lite cold.
Ho welcomed the first solitary row ot
darkoncd hou-es with a faint cheer o (
iccognitinn. The scattered lamp-posts
lightened his spirits , and even the bully
iinveil sticots rang under the boats 6 (
his horse's feat like music. Gieat mills
nnd manufactories , with only n night-
watchman's light In the lowest of their
many stoiles begun to take the place of
the gloomy faun-houses and gaunt trees
that had stmtled him vlth their gro
tesque shnpe . Ho had been diking
neailj tin hour ho calculated , and in
that time thoiain had changed to a wet
snow that foil heavily and chins , ' to what
ever It touched. Ho pasicd block after
block of trim woiktnen's houses , as still
and silent ns the sleepers within thorn ,
and at last ho tinned the hort-o's head
Into Broad street , the citj J great
thoioughfnro that stretches from its
one end to the other und cuts it evenly In
two. '
IIo was di iving noiselessly over the
snow and lush In the sheet , with his
thoughts bent only on the clock faeo ho
wished so much to see , when a hoarse
voice chtllenged him from thosldonalk.
"Ilojjou stop tho.o , hold up , " said
the voice.
Gallcjjher turned his licul , nnd though
he saw that the \oico came fiotnnnder
n policeman's helmet , his only answer
was to hit his liorso sharplj o\er the
head with his whip and to urge it into a
gallop.
This , on his part , was followed by a
sharp , shrill whlstlo from the tiohce-
man. Another whistle answered it from
n stieot corner ono Mock ahead of him.
" \Vhoa , " said Gallegher , pulling on the
loins , "Thoio'bono too inniij of them , "
lie ndded , in apologetic explanation.
The hor&o stopped and stood , brcithing
heavily , with gient clouds of steam lis-
Ing from his flanks.
" \Vhj ill h didn't you stop when I
told you to ? " demanded the voice , now
close at the cab's side.
"I didn't hear you , " returned Gal-
iegher , svveetlj. "But I heaul jou
whistle and 'l hc.iul jour partner
wlilbtlc , arid I thought innyoo it.is mo

"Von heard mo well enough. Why

" .Should I ha\o 'cm lit ? " a Ked Galla

with sudden

self how ho'b been misusing the hoiao.
IJo puts it up at Bachmnn's lively
stiblo and I wns just going mound there
now. "
Gallcghcr's knowledge of the local
celebrities of the district confused the
zealous oHicor of the peace. Ho survcjed
the boy with a steady btnrp that would
have dNUc cd a leos skillful liar , but
Gallegher only shrugged his bhoulders
sllghtlj , as if fiom tlio cold , and waited
\vith appaient indifference to what the
officer would say iicKt.
In icality his heart was beating heav
ily against his side , nnd ho felt that if he
\vas kept otinsti'iin ' much longer ho
would giveWHJ anil breik down. A second
end snow-coveted form emerged sud
denly fiom the shadow of tno houses.
" \Vhat h it , ReedorV it asked.
"O , nothing much"replied the first
ofllcot. "This kid hadn't any lamps lit ,
so t called to him to stop ami ho didn't
so I whistled to you. It's all right
though. lie's just taking it lound to
Ru'hman's. "Go ahead , " ho added
sulkily. "
"Got up , " chirped Gilleglior. "Good
night , " ho added o\or his shoulder.
Uallegher gave a hysterical little gasp
of relief as lie trotted away from the two
policemen , and poured bitter maledic
tions on their heads for two meddling
fools as ho went.
They might jubtns well kill a man as
scare him to death"t ho enid , with an
attempt to got back to his customary
flippancy. But the effort was somewhat
pitiful , and ho felt guilty conscious that
n salt-warm tear was creeping slowly
down his fate , and that n lump that
would not keep down wns ilsing in his
throat.
" 'Tatn't no fair thing for the whole
police fotco to keep worrjiner at a little
boy like mo."ho said , in shame-faced
apologj- . ' 'I'm not doing nothing
wrong , nnd I'm half froze to death ,
nnd jot they keopn nagging at mo. "
It was so cold that when the boy
stamped his foot against the foot-board
to keep thorn warm sharp pains shot up
through his body , nnd when ho beat his
armsabout his shoulders , as ho had soon
real cabmen do , the blood in his finger
tips tingled BO acutely that ho cried
aloud with the pain.
Ho had often been up that Into before ,
but ho had never felt so sleepy. It
was as if some ono was pressing
a sponge heavy with chloroform near
his ( ace , nnd ho could not fight off the
drowsiness that lay hold of him.
IIo snw , dimly hanging nbovo his
head , a lound disc of light that seemed
liken gieat moon , and which ho finally
guessed to bo the clock face for which ho
hud been on the look out. IIo hnd
parsed It before ho reall/.cd this , but the
fact stirred him into wakefulness again ,
nnd when his cab's wheels slipped
around the city hall corner ho remem
bered to look up at the other big elock
face that keeps irw.xko over the railroad
station and measures the night.
IIo gave a gasp of consternation when
ho saw that it wns 2MO o'clock , and that
theio was but ton minutes left to him.
This , and the many electrlo lights and
the Mght of the familiar pile of build
ings btat tied him into a soml-con clous-
nctis of wheio ho was and how great was
the noce-sltj for haste.
Ho rose in his beat nnd called on the
hoiso and uigedlt into a leckless gallop
over the slipporj asphalt. IIo considered
nothing olco but upoed , and looking
neither to the left nor right dashed oft
down Bioadbtreot into Chestnut , whoio
hiHcouiso lay straight awny tothoolUco ,
now only bo\on WOOKS distant.
( iiilleghorno'vor know how it begun ,
but ho was uuddonly assaulted by shouts
oil cither tide , his horse was thrown
back on its haunehc' . anil ho found two
men in cabmen'silvery lumping at Us
head nnd pnltlngII * sides nnd
calling it by namt. Ami the
other cabmen who hnv-e their stand at
the corner were B'wnrt ijiljr around the
carriage , all of them talking nnd swear
ing nt once , nnd ( jc tl ulntlnfe' wildly
with their ivhip.
They said they knew the cub wns
McGovorn's , and thojntnted \ to know
where ho was nnd why ho wasn't in It ;
they wanted to know yrhero Gallcghor
had stolen It , and -wirylie had been siiuh
a fool us todrivo it Into the arms of Its
owner's frlords ; they ' said that it was
about time that a cab-driver could got
oil his box to Uko n d"rlnk without hav
ing hiseabrun awnyvlth , and some of
them called loudlj furn policeman to
tuko the vonng thief inchaigo.
Gallegher felt as If Lo had boon sud
denly dragged Into consciousness out of
a bad drctiiu , nnd stood for n second like
ti half-awakened omnnmbulist.
Thej hud stopped the fill ) under an
elect i ! c light , nnd Its glare shone coldly
down upon the trampled snow and the
faces of the men mound him
Gallcgher bent forward and ln hcd
savagely at the horw with his whip.
"Let nio go , " ho shouted ns ho tugged
impotently at the reins. "Let mo go , I
tell you. I hmon't stole no cab , and
3ou'\o got no light to stop mo. I only

begged. "They'll send it buck to you

struck hetvilj with his long whip nt the
faces of the men about the hoiso's
head ,
Some ono in the crowd reiolied up and
c.meht him bj the ankles and with a
quick jeik pulled him off the box and
threH him on to the sticet 13iit ho was
up on his knees inn moment anil caught
at the man's hand.

up Inquitinglj jisho pab&cd , nnd the city
editor asked , "Any no\vs\etV" and the
managing editor shook his head.
Tno ooinnoiitois were standing Idle in
the composing room , and their toroman
was till \uththojiiglit \ editor.
"Well , " bald that gentium in , tenta
tively.
"Well , " ro tinned the managing
editor , "I don't thiiik'wo can wnlt ; do
" ' '
you ?
"It's n hdf hour after time now , "
said the night editor , "inu we'll miss
the suburban trains if wo hold the paper
back any longer.Vo can't allot d to
wait fora puiolyhj-potheticalstoij' . The
chances are all ngninsl ITip light's having
taken place or this Katie's having bien
arrested. " r
"But if we're beaten on it " sug
gested the chief. "Hut I don't think
that is possible. If there weio tiny story
to mint , Dvuor would have had It hero
before now. "
The managing editor looked steadily
down at tlio floor.
"Vety well , " ho said , slovvlv , "wo don't
wait any longer. Go ahead , " ho added ,
tuininjfto the foreman with n sigh of ro-
luttanco. The forerun whiilcd him elf
about nnd began to give his ordcis , but
tho. two editors still looked at each other
doubtfullj- .
As tlioy stood so , there came a sudden
shout nnd the sound of people miming
to and fro in thoiopottoiial looms below.
There was the tramp of many foostops
on the staits , nnd above the confusion
they heard the voice of the city editor
telling some ono to "run to Midden's
and get some biandj , quick , "
No ono in the composing room said
umthing ; but thoio compositois who
had started to go homo began slipping
off their ovorcoits , and every ono stood
with their eves llxed on the door.
It was kicked open from the outside ,
and intho doom ay stood n cab driver
and the citv editor , supporting het-weeri
them n pitiful llttlo figuio of a boj- , wet
and miserable , and with snovv melting
on his clothes nnd tunning in litllo pools
to the lloor. "Why , It's Galloghcr , "
snid the night editor , in a tone of keen
est disappointment.
Gallegher shook him elf free from his
snppoiters , nnd took an unstendy bten
foiwaid , his lingers fiunbliiij ? stiffly with
the buttons of his waistcoat ,
"Mr. Dwjor , sir , " ho bejjnn faintly ,
with his eyes fixed fearfully on the
managing editor , "ho got anested
anjl I couldn't got hero no sooner , 'cause
they kent u stopping me , and they took
mo cab from undormo butho pulled
the notebook from his breast and held it
out with its covers damn and limp fiom
the rain , "but wo col liade , und lieto's
Mr. Dwyer's copj . '
And then ho asked , with a queer note
inhisvoicc , pirtlyof dtcnil and paitly
of hope , "Am. I in time , sir ? "
The managing editor took the book ,
nnd tossed It to the foreman , who ripped
out its leaves and dealt them out to his
men ns rapidly as a gambler deals out
cards ,
Then the managing editor stopped
and picked Galloghor up in his nuns ,
nnd , sitting down , began to unlnco his
wet nnd muddy shoe's. '
Galleghor mudonfaint effort to resist
this degradation of the managerial dig
nity , but his protest , was a very fcoblo
onoand his he id fell back hea\lly on the
innnnging editor's bhoulder.
To Galloghor the iuqundoscont light1) )
began to whitl about' in circles , and to
burn In dlffoient colors ; the faces o ( the
reporters kneeling b ' ( ere him nnd chaf
ing Ills hands and feet grow dim and
unfamiliar , and the roar nnd rutnblo of
the great presses in the baocment
sounded far uuujlilio , tlio murmur of
the ton.
And then the place and the circum
stances of itcanio back to him ngain
iliiunly and with sudden vividness ,
Galloghor looked uinvith a fnlntsmllo
Into the managing editor's face. "Vou
won't turn mo oil for running away , will
jouV howhlspoicd.
The managing editor did not answer
immediately. Ilis bond wns bent nnd ho
was thi aking , for some reason or other ,
of a llttlo bov of his own , nt homo in bed.
Then ho s.ilu , quietly , "Is'ot this time ,
Gallegher. "
Galloghor'shead fnnk kick comfoit-
nbl > on the older man'x shoulder , and he
nailed loinpiohenBivoly nt the faces ol
smiled comprehsivcly nt the faces ol
the young man crowded around him
