the lightning opened the night they
could see behind through the blasting
rain the great hulking pile driver nod

Notch after notch HALEY drew, heed

the engine shook like a frantic horse.
Men and monster alike lost thought of
care and drunk frenzy in the deafen-

the swimming plain.
The Peace river hills loomed into the
headlight like moving pictures; before
they could think it the desert was be-

From the rocks it is down grade all

Just where the line crosses Peace river
the track bends sharply in through the
Needles to take the bridge.
The curve is ten degree. AS they
struck it the headlight shot far out
upon the river-and they in the cab

his own, conversion is one of the
choicest things in the article. And
the prayers and sermons by Sunday,
which Mr.. Denfson has collected, are
great reading. In the same number

of William J. Burns, the Secret Ser
