Obliged to cut theIwire before commencing

office, and thus had heard his message going

II we want to prevent a swindle. It's lucky
you were able to come so promptly"
Then | told him what had happened, and
explained that Bates, whoever he was, after
mtercepting my message and sending the one
now before us must have hurried to present
q, forged draft at the Champion Bank upon
the strength of this bogus telegram.
President Foster saw the trick at once, and
his excitement was fully equal to my own.
afterwards learned that he was heavy stock
holder in the Crampton Bank, and would lose
his share of whatever amount the forged draft
might call for. He suddenly became active
as young man.

claimed

That's so" said he. "Well, then, we must
go to Crampton"
"How?" asked l. 'There are only two trains
a day each way. We can't leave for several
hours yet"
"I'll see to that" said he scribbling a note,
with which he sent Billy off.
Now" he continued, you must come with
me. Leave the boy in charge of the office,
Can he telegraph"
"a little"
well, he'll have to get along as he can.
You'll be in the line of your duty by going, be-
cause the arrest of this fellow is as much the
company's interest as mine"
This was perfectly true, and agreed to
go, not at all sorry to have chance of see
ing the thing out. l telegraphed a short
statement of the situation to the company
officers, promising to report as soon as posi-

Billy returned very soon, and / left him

to the railroad depot, close by, where we
found the station agent, astonishment in his
eyes, and the presidents note in his hand,
watching locomotive which was pulling out
of the round house.
"Here she comes'' said he, as we hurried
up; "but / don't like to send her wild down to
Champion without any notice ahead. The sta

Naturally it wouldn t-and told him why

"All right, sir" answered Roberts, whose
honest, grimy face showed that he was com

President Foster climbed upon the foot,

left the platform when the engine sprang
forward like live thing, without any OF the
putting and short prelimnaries that usually

the coal in the tender.
Before 1 had gotten up and braced myself
securely beside my fellow passenger, the plat
form and the agent were out of sight, and we
were plugging along at a speed which seemed
little short of flying.
Nevertheless, l managed to satisfy the Curl
osity of Roberts and Williams 1.-THE fireman)
about the object of our expedition, although
the rattle and crash of the wheels and The
furious roaring of the steam-blast rendered
it necessary for me to shout at the top of my
voice.
Champion was at the end of The branch,
thirty miles away. The track. so Roberts
said, was pretty good and tolerably straight,
so that we might hope to make fast time.
| looked ahead and saw long stretch of
rails, coming together at a point in the ex-
treme distance Roberts was pulling the throt-
tie further and further open, and we increased
our pace every moment

You don't mean to say that that's the rob

him. It's the lineman, Sam Fisher"
In minute or two we pulled up abreast of
the man, who looked down at us from his lofty
perch with the greatest surprise.
Come aboard, Sam!" / shouted. We've
work for you"
Fisher descended the pole like flash, and
climbed up beside us-creepers, tolls, coil of
wire and all.
Again we were off, faster than ever How
that engine flew! 1t seemed to be more in the
air than upon the rails and jumped and reeled
and surged about as if it were going to leave
the track every moment.
Roberts, with one hand upon the throttle
and the other upon the reversing lever, never
for second relaxed his steady gaze ahead.

from his short and infrequent letters, for
Charley never was very good correspondent;
but he gave no particulars, and we did not
know what it might be. But, of course, this
made us all the more desrous of finding out
So, after the home news had been fully told
and discussed, Will Ashford lost no time in
asking about the mysterious event, while we
followed up the attack with a shower of
questions which finally induced Charley to re-
late what follows. / give his own words, as
nearly as | can remember them:
South Tyre is one of the Universal Com
panys main Lines, and is sort of centre for
several single wires that run to smaller towns
situated back in the country. Two or three
of them are so little used that they have SIM
ply ground circuit-that is, there is but
one battery lat South Tyre), and the other
end of the wire has none. This wouldn't do
if there was much business; but as it is, one
battery is enough. One of these wires ran to
Champion, town some thirty miles distant,
on branch railroad.
One afternoon j was attending to business
as usual, although there wasn't a great deal
to attend to. The Champion line was espe-
cially quiet, for the whole number OF messages
over it 50 far had been only six.
l had just come to the conclusion that there
would be no more done in that direction dur
ing the rest of the day, when a gentleman
coming in, wrote an unimportant message,
which, however, turned out to be pretty i'm
portant, because of what happened soon after.
1t was only this, in substance.
''Willocome down on evening train Be at
station"
'fHow much?" asked the gentleman
/ told him. He paid and went out. / sig
nailed Crampton and received the usual answer
Then | sent the message.
Now, j must explain little. There is a
good deal more to message when it is put
upon the wires than the sender wrote oil his
blank First, the operator must give the num-
ber for the day. There had been six before
this so i numbered it a." Then he must
add his personal initials, the number of worls
sent, and whether the message is paid for oI
to be collected.
When | had filled these requirements the
message, if written out in full, would have read
a. G. T., o. Paid,
"South Tyre, June 16, 1S-.
"R. B. Caswell, Crampton
''Will come down on evening train. Be al
station. A. r. JACKSON"
The Champion operator was a young lady
named Alice Hanson. 1t was her duty af
ter receiving the message, to signal back that
she understood it. So the instrument clicked
out:

and turned to another table. j forgot what
