tensely cold. The great weight or
snow, soaked with rain and then
frozen, played havoc with trees and
telegraph wires The wind contin-
ued to blow fiercely, though its direc-
ton was now directly across, instead
of down the river.
81 wonder when this is going to let
up?" said Harry.
ST thought there was never too
much wind for you to go iceboating?"
said his mother.
SIT isn't the wind, mother; it's the
miserable state of the ice. The
snow and rain are all frozen on top Of
it, and it's to rough to sail on"
Harry's mother was not sorry to
hear that In the afternoon Harry
went down to the station to hear the
news about damage along the river.
81 can tell you some thing about up
the river" said the station master,
because I've got one wire working
between here and Helmsburg; but
have no connection down, and that

pretty near time for the a:45, isn't

"Yes, but she was five minutes be-

she goes through Helmsburg. Hello,
here it is now"

leaped ashore, and bounded up TO the
track He hastily pulled off the red
comforter he wore around his neck,
and as the train came into sight, be-
gan to wave it. The next instant he
saw the steam squirt into the air, tell
ing that the air brakes were on, and
the flying express came to stand
still before him. His story was told
in minute. A brakeman went rum
ming down the track to meet the
o Ter train and the danger was
aN jrted.
"Now, mother" said Harry that
evening, ST think it has turned out
that even ice boating may be useful
sometimes"

mother, just ran away from her,
and she was doing a good forty an
hour, too"

Harry, but I'm afraid you'll break
your neck at it."

swell. Harry" said Mrs. Swift,
with sigh, II suppose you must
have your own way"
Harry Swift. who had the previous
winter visited a friend living at
famous ice yachting town, had
brought back the plans for boat,
and had introduced the pastime.
There were several boats on the river
now, but so far Harry's had proved to
be the fastest, and he was the most
skillful and daring iceboatman of the
place.
He had several times beaten the
express which passed without stop
ping at 3:45, and once he had made
the run between his home and the
next town, a distance of seven miles,
in six minutes.
About week after the converse
ton between Harry and his mother a
storm arose. 1t was said afterward
that it was the most terrific that has
visited that region in twenty years.
The wind roared down the river
valley at the rate of fifty miles
an hour, uprooting trees, over
turning chimneys and throwing
down telegr aph poles. Snow fell
fast and furiously, and on the third
day of the storm the snow turned to
rain. In the morning the wind
shifted. and the weather became in

who has been bothering the treasury
for many years, is still getting in his
deadly work. During the last year
two treasury notes of his workman
ship, for 500 each, have turned up.
Both were executed in his usual
artistic style, being done wholly with
pen and brush. Nobody would hesi-
tate to take them. No clue has ever
been found to the identity of this ex-
traordinary criminal, who seems to
pursue his fad purely for the sake Of
recreation. 1t cannot possibly pay as
an industry. He seems to produce
