High Henry Bahrenberg was not
bad man. He was kind hearted, honest
and brave. He was one Of the very
best runners on the road. He was 6
feet I and might have been taller had
he not stopped slightly. He was SO
high, began said, that If ever he fell
down 1t would kill him. He had
quick, nervous step and an apologize
smile. Unfortunately for himself and
his friends, he had an uncomfortable
temper. People said he lost 1t often.
Henry often wished he could lose 1t
permanently. He was likely when sud-
denly angered to do things which caus-
ed him unhappy days and sleepless
nights of regret
But if man said calmly and dispas-
sionately: Henry, l don't care for you.

that you are. You delight to punish
people, and think can climb all over

stop. Stop! Henry would exclaim
Don't say another word" And he
would prepare for the fall.
Having agreed to fight fair, Henry
would not break his word. though his
wrath might choke him.
On the eve of a presidential election
Henry entered little hotel after a
hard run with the general managers
special and found party of working
men talking politics. When Henry had
traced his long name in a long hand

to have none but the governments
own.
However, Terril had been obliged to
take case No. 2252C. and he had con-
tented himself with writing n rather
striking and lengthy note to Miss
Deane and ordering box of violets to
be sent with 1t.
Therefore here he was the next day
in Battlotown In no patient mood with
the obstreperous southern hot heads.
He was greeted by babel Of voices.

''ThGe's one thing certain" said
young John Sylvester, eve won't take
that niger postmaster back, no mat
ter what the inspector says"
The words met with instant approval
from his indignant fellow townsmen,
who had assembled in the postotfice of
the southern village to explain matters
to the inspector sent by the govern
ment. Every man in the room was
armed, and each face was set and
stern as Terril, the inspector, appeared
in the doorway.
Terril was old In the service, though
fairly young in years, and had been
sent to the defiant little town because
of his wide experience. He had tried
to refuse the case, though he did not
deem it necessary to confide his reason
to his superior officer. Inopportuncly
enough, he was ordered to leave by a
morning train, whereas he had intend
ed to call on the Girl that evening. She
was a visitor In Washington, and he
feared she would be gone before he re-
turned. Now. 1t is unwise for post
office inspector to have personal inter-

smote the page with his hand and
yelled:
"Oi'm Dimmycrat."
"So'm l." said Henry. Shaker
"Ofm an Irishman."
I'm not"

'Well," said Henry, smiling and
blushing like a schoolgirl. I'm a
Dutchman."

well. guess that means me-"
The night clerk came out from his
little box and locked the door. Those
who were to take the part of noncom-
batants began to pile the chairs up
around the stove which stood in the
sawdust floor and had just been fired
up that day to uke the November
chill off the air.
1t was understood that there should
be no kicking or biting. but that the
fight would not necessarily end or
even lag with Il Touchdown.
The men fought silently. When they
had been at it ten minutes, the Irish
man was perfectly sober. and Henry
had recovered from the fatigue of
two hundred mile run. Five minutes
later Henry lay under the Irishman,
but holding both of his wrists.
You're licked" said Henry.
''Oi know ut. Sore YOU"
But don't know it,
THE more fool YOU"
The men tried to laugh, but they
couldn't make much of success of 1t
i'll view of the way their mouths were
disarranged.
Twill we git up?"
Just as you say"
Then Henry released the big black
smiths wrists, and they both got to
their feet.
Henry was sight to see. but the
Irishman could not see him.
Noah, who fired for High Henry,
was of another piece. He was meek
and lowly, quiet as Quaker, guileless
and good. But Noah had one deplor
able weakness. He could not stay
awake. He was probably sound asleep.
though 1t was only 9:33 in the even
ing, when he went down to the bottom
of the Gunnison river under the noto-
rious No. 107. 1t would have come to
the same thing In the end, asleep or
awake, for you remember how the en-
CINE was cut off the train by a big
bowlder that shot down the mountain
with the speed Of a cannon ball.
Noah had gone to sleep on Henry
two or three times, and Henry. being
exact even with himself, would stand
no foolishness that might lead him into
trouble. He had taken Noah by the
neck once and had said. with his teeth
set and his steel blue eyes flashing fire

You are about the best fellow l ever
saw, but. darn you, If you ever go to
sleep on this engine again I'll break
you in two"
Poor Noah was shaking like an as
pen, for he knew how High Henry was
tempered. and he promised never to
nod again.

on fence. The time card gave then
two hours and twenty minutes to make
twenty miles, and all you hear is the
clickety click of the idle valves. the
squeak and cry of the brake shoes OF
the smoking wheels and the low meas
ured snore Of the airpump, and that
sound will put you to sleep like the
patter of rain on roof or the sound OF
horses munching hay when you're ~
ing in the haymow. Noah had nodded
once or twice, and Henry once had
yelled at him.
They had crawled down within five
miles Of the foot Of the hill when Noah
broke the stiffness: "Wope, wope! Look
out there! Stop 'er, stop 'er"
Henry hooked the engine over, put
the air on full. screamed for brakes to
warn the trainmen, and the 40 set
against the train as a mule sets back
at a bad bridge. her wheels going
round the other way and a flood of fire
going out Of her stack.

Henry passed his bony hand over his
eyes as a man will when not quite
sure Of himself. He looked ahead
where the headlight shone on the two
thin threads Of steel that turned three
cars away and disappeared round
a high rock. By this time Henry'S
wrath had cooled down. and without
another word he put the lever for
ward, released the airbrakes, and the
train moved forward again. When
the big black engine put her nose
round the curve. which was to Henry's
side, the engineer saw a great black
gap in the track, over which the
rails sagged, holding the crossties.
Look out! Jump" 1t was Henry's
voice this time, and Noah. being wide
awake. went out into the night. In
the meantime 40 was holding and
straining against the heavy train that
kept showing her nearer and nearer
to the gap that yawned in the grade.
At last she stopped, with the soft

that were behind her-that had climb

to a sidetrack.
A little stream of clear water had
been trickling down the mountain side
for days and days and soaking into the
grade. Finally the fill became mushy,
and when the two light engines that
had helped Henry up the hill went by
they shook the grade, and the mush
slid out and down to the bottom of the
gulch POO feet below.

In other Words. he wanted to be County Treasurer.
 Now, the Off Year in Politics is no Hungarian Joke to the Mark who has kissed goodbye to his Shekels and talk en a Gamblers Chance. He wants to hold down a Leather Chair in a Ma hogany Office in the County Building and have Push Bell in front of him and q Box of Perfectos on the Roll-Top and draw about Samoleons a Minute while the cheap Help does all the heavy Work.
 Of every 10 Patriots who are now throwing vitrified Brick at the Money Power, at least are hoping that some day the grateful Voters will rise up and compel them to use Leather Chairs.
 As for the would-be Treasurer. after he had spent $500 to see his Picture on Telegraph Poles and had bought Tick cts to some 8 Social Hops, to say noth- ing of what he had slipped the Boss, he felt that if he did not land in the County Building the whole Fabric of the Government would begin to unrav- el.
 Under ordinary Conditions he was d Chilly Proposition who failed to recog- nize any one who did not wear a Tall Hat and belong to four or five Clubs. But after the Lightning struck him and he became the Peoples Choice. he would tear across the Street to shake Hands with all varieties of Trash and ask them how everything seemed to be going.
 AS a Rule they did not know what he was driving at. for in an Off Year the Candidate who has made a powerful Ante is the only Mortal who is dead sure that there is going to be an Flee tion. The general run of the Public was watching the price of Coal and trying to guess the Foot Ball Scores so that when the Laboring Mans Friend began his Canvass he was ap- palled at the General Apathy.

When the Popular Choice for County Treas urer appeared a a Hall to make an Ad- dress showing why the Panama Canal was a Necessity and how Ireland's Wrongs would be righted if only he could land as County Treasurer, he would find about a dozen Fellow-Citi zens without Overcoats who had como Q ri explain why Cuba was entitled to Jus tice and that all Wealth belonged to the Common People, but he never ex- plained to the Boys how they could go out that same Evening and get their Part of it.

HIGH SCHOOL NOTES
Football Team Will Profit by Its
 Late Defeat.

The result of Saturdays game was a surprise to the High school and it goes to show the effect of over confi- dence. The overwhelming defeat will be a lesson, and although a bitter one. 1t will make the High school practice and develop team work which will bring a different result next time. The fine work in tackling of the High school fullback, Mccarthy. prevented a larger score being piled up.
 A notable feature of the High school playing is the absence of any sem blance of what the rules define as un- necessary roughness. or what a spec tator would call jumping on a man when he is down.
