They were tearing along the down grade
wildly, and Ned, watching the course, saw
they were nearly at the siding. The next
view filed him with horror. The siding
switch was lying open, with stone wedged
in as an extra means of wrecking them
In an instant he grasped the situation
The switch had been opened to delay the
relief train that would be sent out from
Horner when the news of the accident
reached there, and thus the escape of the
robbers would be facilitated. That was
what had sustained Billy through his cap
tivity; he knew they could not pass the
switch, and he had put johnson out Of the
way, so, later, he could give no damaging
testimony. When the matter went beyond
his centrol he would give no warming.
Better death than what would happen it
he lived The boy understood it in
second, and all his hope and courage died
out, He had done what he could, and in
spite of it they were plunging on, for was
too late to reverse the engine.
Taut and rigid, with his face to the
front, instinctively he stepped back bedside
his father. Billy tried desperately once
more to free himself, but he was held fast;
there was shock that nearly threw Ned
from his feet as the engine encountered
the obstruction, a sudden bound that SEEM
ed to lengthen itself into leap into space,
and the wheels came back to the rails, and
they were running swiftly on. The
scheme to wreck had been overdone, and
they were saved by the very stone that
was meant to make surer their destruction.
The boy dropped on his knees by the
engineer.
1--WE We done it, daddy; we We done it e
he whispered triumphantly.

persons who had been kind to her
worthy men and women, minis
tiers, churches, schools, charitable
institutions, old servants and
friends. She was of the old Bap-
fist persuasion. We remember
that she gave Rev. P. G. Lester, OF
Virginia, $500, Rev. J. G. Eubank,
pastor Of the old Baptist church
here, $500; Old Bethel and Beech
Creek churches $500 each;
Georgetown Baptist College, ST.

900. friends and servants not a
few larger and smaller amounts;
appointed an executor without
bond and named the amount for
services, attorneys she treated in
like manner. She never required
security for money loaned, never
charged more than 6 percent. and
never had a suit in her life. Few
women like Miss Ann Miller.

The following are the fleets Of
the United States as compared
with Spain:
United States-Io battleships,
ID coast defense vessels, p cruis.
ers and 40 torpedo boats; total 90.
Spain-I4 battleships; 10 coast
defense vessels, 20 cruisers and 81
torpedo boats; total 1903.
This does not include the re-
cent purchases Of either the
United States or Spain. We lay
these facts before our people not
for the purpose of intimidating
them, for that cannot be done
when honor is at stake, but as a
matter of knowledge. The United
States can fog Spain and will do
it the very moment it becomes
necessary, and it looks very much
like the necessary moment is
here.
