by wasting ammunition. Over and over
again he jerked at the air. 1t was re-

He opened and closed, threw on and
threw off; it was all one, aud all use
less. The situation was as simple as
it was frightful Even if they didn't
leave the track, they were certain to
smash into Number Sixteen, the up

somewhere on the hili.
Aloysius' fingers closed slowly on
the sand lever. There was nothing
on earth for it but sand, merely sand,
and even the wipers was oozing with
the stream That poured from the tank
on the whiskered rails. He shut off
a bit more, thinking cf the terrific
curves below, and mentally calculated
or tried to-how long his steam
would last to reverse the drivers

how much Slowing the Italians at the
tail of the kite could stand without

The pace was giddy and worse.

Aloysius started as if Davy Jones
had tapped him, and between bounces
looked, scared, around. He looked in

but there was sand in the eyes that

Aloysius saw the mans lips move.

words.
What can | do?" shouted the man
at his elbow.

wiper, looking straight ahead.
It was the foreman Of the steel
gang from the caboose. Aloysius,
through the backs Of his eyes, saw
him grab the shovel and make a pass

took a header through the gangway,
but he hung to the shovel and braced
himself better.

THE HERALD acknowledges the
receipt of copy of The Dark
Side of the Beef Trust" by Her
man Hischaur, and after reading
the book we would respectfully
inquire if there is any such thing
as a bright side to the aforesaid
trust. If there is, it does not ap-
pear in the volume, and the beef
trust is the slimiest, dirtiest, rot
tenest manufacturer that infests
the world. No more wienerwurst
piping hot and seasoned with horse
radish, nary bologna, summer sau-
sage and such like for us, and
whenever we can buy homemade
beefsteak we are going to do it, If
the mass of the people believe as
we do about it, all the fighters of
the beef trust have to do is to get
that book in every house in the
country When they do there
won't be a beef trust very long. 1t
will have to go out of business.

THE most refreshing announce

Alton B. Parker that he is out of

of the statement makes up for its
utter lack of necessity. The Judge

the matter is that he really never
was in politics.
