'.Thin I'm yer man. said Callahan;
and when the train-master was gone,
he ordered Shovel to oil around while
he did two or three things which, to an
initiated onlooker, might have seemed
fairly inexplicable. First he discon-
nected the airhose between the car and
the engine, tying the ends up with a
stout cord so that the connection would
not seem to be broken. Next he
crawled under the naught-seven and
deliberately bled the air tank, setting
the cock open a mere hair's-breadth so
that it would leak slowly but surely
until the pressure was entirely gone
Then he got hammer and sledge out
of the engine tool box, and after hook
ing up the safety chain couplings be-
tween the private car and the 1910, he
crippled the points of the hooks with
the hammer so that they could not De

Meanwhile the train-master had
reached the iron grille at the other end
of the long track platform. At a small
wicket used by the station employees
and trainmen, Kent was waiting for
him.

it?'' he asked anxiously.
Yes. Patsy's game for II: I knew
he would be. He'd put his neck in a

Ormsby; and he hurried back to his
car TO egg on the machinist with
golden promises contigent upon haste.
Miss Brentwood found her compan-
ion singularly silent on the fve-mile
race to Breezeland; but the lightning
speed at which he drove the car put
conversation out Of the question. At
the hotel he saw her into the lift with
decent deliberation; but the moment
she was off his hands he fairly ran to
the telegrapher's aleoye in the main
hall.
Have you Western Union wire to
the capital direct?" he inquired
The young man snapped his key and
said he had.
'.It has no connection with the
Transwestern railroad off1ces?''
None whatever"
Ormsby dashed off a brief message
t. Kent, giving three or four addresses
at which he might be found.
Send that. and have them try the
Union station train platform first.
Don't let them spare expense at the
other end, and if you can bring proof
of delivery to room 261 within half an
hour ii means a months pay to you
individually. Can you do it2''

her there and begged fouse-room and a

rected to the scale shanty which
served as the weigher's office.
The interview was brief and conclu-
sive; was little more than a rapid fire
of question and answer; and for the
greater part the sheriff'S alternatives
were heartily eager. Yes, certainly; if
the thing could be brought to pass, he,
Byers. would surely do his part. All
he asked was an hour or two in which

No said Kent; and just then he
saw Loring coming in from the street
entrance and went to meet him.

HUGGED
Her and the Wayne County Girl
Had Him Indicted.

Had Him Indicted.
Huntington, w. Va, June q
In the Wayne county Circuit
court most unusual case came
up for settlement, and in render
ing his decision Judge Doolittle
established a precedent, which
will probably revolutionize certain
social customs which have long
been in vogue in the rural dis
tricts.
A young man, a member OF one
of the most prominent families of
the county, whom for obvious
reasons we will designate as Cas-
par Gordon, was indicted at the
last January term of the Circuit
court for hugging an ex-sweet-
heart of his, whom for reasons
equally obvious we shall denomi-
nate Harriet Nightingale, without
her consent and against the de-
sires of her heart.
This case attracted wide atten-
ton. and in the trial many Of the
finer points of ethics psychology
and sociology were freely discuss
ed. 1t appears that the young
couple had once been sweethearts
but as is often the case, a fog
came between them, and in an
evil hour they were estranged.
For many moons they met and
passed in pensive silence, speak
ing no word, apparently obliVious
of the days of yore.
Matters went on in this cold
state for some time. At length 1t
fell upon a summer afternoon
late in August that the couple by
some ine&plicable working Of
fate were strolling through a
shady lane in the old orchard
down by the mill-the scene Of a
thousand ecstatic movements. The
youth fired with a vision Of the
past, cast prudence to the winds
and living only in the happy
present once more embraced the
subject of his early dreams.
To this the maiden objected and
carried the matter to the county
grand jury, which body returned
an indictment against Caspar.
In the trial Caspar was repre-
sented by Hon. P. H. Napier,
who, in an eloquent plea, asserted
that under every circumstance,
considering the place, the season,
and past associations, the young
man did the. only natural thing
to do in the premises, and that un-
der all laws known to the universe
he should be held blameless.
Judge Doolittle, after due de-
liberation, decided that hugging
without the consent of the Rugged
| is unlawful and sentenced the
youth to pay fine of $25 and
spend thirty days in the Wayne
county Jail.
Immediately after the sentence
was pronounced half the Hunting
ton lawyers present grabbed their
hats, stole quietly from the court.
room and took the first train for
home.
