came TOO late. Overcome by the
fumes. he loosened his grasp on the
levers and slipped down insensible.
In the thick smoke Hodgkins did
not at first notice the fall OF his
chief. Then his foot struck the engi-
neer's body. Instantly he under
stood. He stopped and pulled Hark-
ness away from the hot fire-door.
The train was now moving. but very
slowly.
Climbing blindly up on the engi-
neer's vacant seat, the fireman found
the levers, and waited. There was
nothing he could do to hurry mat
tiers. 1t would be three minutes. at
least, before the locomotive would
emerge into the open. Could he last
so long,
Ough, Ough, Ough, The thun-
derous putting echoed through the
tunnel. Little by little the train
crept back through the splashing
water Hodgkins swayed unsteadily
but still gripped the handles. TO his
swimming head the seconds seemed
minutes. the minutes hours. He had
never been in so hard a place before.

in through the open windows, warm,
thick and sickening.

hoping to see light from the en-
trance; but it was still absolutely
dark.
The fireman's head was splitting.
In his ears sounded roaring not al
together of the train. The pitchy
blackness was starred with dancing
yellow lights. Even the hard steel
lever-handles lost form and sub
stance, grew soft. and seemed to slip
away
The water now barely covered the
track. but he was too far gone to
notice this. A deep rumbling mono
tone possessed his brain. Through
the blackness behind him a dim light
began to shine Brighter and brighter
1t grew. They were approaching the
entrance.
Hodgkins' endurance was now
measured by seconds. With all his
resolution he fought on approaching
insensibility. He had almost for
gotten where he was or wha. he WIZ
doing
Suddenly binding glare enve-
loped him. A draft Of air, hot and
fairly fresh. swept through the cab.
The fireman realized that at last they
were outside the tunnel. and that he
must stop the train. With a final
effort he shut the throttle and pushed
the lever ahead. Then unconscious
ness came. His limbs gave >way' and
he fell 'insensible on the body OF the
engineer.-From the Youths Com

are analogous to radioactive pheno-

not affected by cleanness or oxida-
ton. but on heating to 100 degrees
or 1910 degrees F. the odor becomes
at first much stronger, gradually di-
minishing. After the metal is cooled
two or three hours, heating again
produces the same effect. The ex-
periments seem to prove that the odor
Is due to a transformation product
from the atoms Of the metal, and that
the cold metal stores this emanation
to the point of saturation and gives it
of on heating Some of the odorous
matter has been separated and iso'
lated in a vessel-just as radium
