Meanwhile the cars were moving at
fair speed over rough and uneven
track, being evidently controlled by
means of the hand brakes. After per-
haps 20 minutes of this suspense the
pace slowly slackened, and the win
dows reflected the uncertain Pickering
light of torch flashing back and forth.
Then there was sudden grinding Of
the brakes. the sound of rough voices
giving quick commands, a jolt, and all
was quiet!
In vain the ladiesimplored to know
what had happened. Neither John ORA

them, being themselves utterly mysti-

FIFTH DAY.


This is what had happened. The Dal-
Ion gang had stolen the Miranda and
the Pullman.
When No. SO pulled out from the wa
ter tank, the two cars, as we have
seen, We're held to the rest of the train
by single coupling pin only. Just be-
fore reaching the old switch they were
disconnected, when the main body Of
the train shot away on the down grade,
which was the reason that the engineer
did not Immediately discover the loss
of part of his load.
The instant the last car of the main
train passed the switch to the spur
track the spike was picked up, having
previously been loosened, SO that when
the Miranda came along she and her
consort, propelled by their own mo-
mentum, the switch was pushed over,
and they went creaking and sliding
down the gentle incline toward the
gulch. "A half dozen blows of a ham.
mer in the hands of one of the gang
served to spike the switch back In Its
old position, and then few handfuls
Of loose dirt were cast on the frogs and
busted off again with Il sombrero so as
to hide the marks of the tools. 1t would
have needed practiced eye after that
to detect that the switch had been tam.
pered with.
OF course the two coaches would be
missed as soon as the "Thunderbolt''
reached Denver, but this Jim Dallon
had foreseen. Before any effective
search could be made his captives
would be safely hidden where he could
make his teHns with them at leisure.
The railroad people might find the
coaches and welcome, though this was
doubtful, but the birds would have
flown.
Talk of consummate darling! Engines
have been stolen again and again, train
robberies there have been without
number Where handful of armed des.
peradoes "held up" and held at bay an
entire train crew and hundred pas
sengers, the latter being stripped of
their valuables, but robbers had never
before been known to attempt to get
away with train itself or part of q
train.
Dallon slapped his leg and chuckled
with glee at the success of his plan so
far. The rest, he thought, would be
comparatively plain sailing.

was the reiterated command:

crash came.
While the president hesitated, weigh
ing all the chances, considering the
sutferings of the ladies. seeing clearly
that worse might follow if Dallon
were eninged and also running over in
his mind the chances of rescue or es-
cape, the captain Of the band resumed:
"Might as well understand that yer

The gang crowded around in eager

reached. Dalton was clearly embar-
raised. 1t was his move. If he asked
too much. the negotiations would be
prolonged and thus increase the
chances of detection. On the other

While there is an INCLINATION in the
German press to criticise the mo quar-
ter speech of Emperor William, prob
ably it expresses pretty closely the priv
ate feeling OF tho German nation. Upon
the basis OF the maxim that "the truth
should not be spoken on all occasions"
it is possible to object to the emperor's
language, but on no other grounds. Gen
era Sherman once remarked that "war
was he'll" and when war is being waged
against barbarians it is likely to he war
in its worst form.
Germany has every reason to feel
especially enraged against China for the
brutal murder OF her ambassador. It
may not be many hours until most other
nations will be sharing the same senti.
ments. The resentment evinced by the
German press against the offer u medI-
alton by the United States is pretty con
elusive evidence that the emperor's "nc
quarter" speech was fairly indicative OF
real national sentiment Denver News

this was the proper course for them to
follow, but it can not be done. The
voters will aim to vote for the ablest and

they will not permit Wolcott's sup
porters to name the candidates. This
nice talk OF the Wolcott press is no new

to by the minority party In the hope of
catching some upsuspecting voters. The
minority has nothing to lose and may
gam by it. After posing throughout the
