the next and last act, Giddings robs
the station agent and attempts to alb
duct Nellie, but Morton rescues her
after desperate and thrilling struggle
in saw mill. Giddings and Hawkins
attempt to escape on hand car, but the
Irish section boss places an obstruction
in cattle-guard, the hand car is
thrown from the track, and Giddings is
killed, first making dying confession
which clears the old station agent from
all completely in the wreck fifteen years
before. OF course Nellie turns out to
be an heiress, Morton marries her, and
all ends happily. The comedy element
in the play is very strong, and many op-
portunities presented in the waiting
room scenes are taken advantage OF to
introduce songs, dances and other pleas
ing specialties.

The clipping bureaus get good many
queer orders, but few queerer than the
