his business concerns to the regulating power of congresses. To state the proposition is to refute it. It assumes that because one engages in interstate commerce he thereby endows congress with power not delegated to it by the constitution; in other words. with the right to legislate concerning matters of purely state concern. It rests upon the conception that the constitution de- stroyed the freedom of commerce whie eh 1t was it's purpose to preserve, since it treats the right to engage in interstate commerce as a privilege which cannot be availed of except upon such con1i- tions as congress may prescribe, even although the conditions would be oth- erwise beyond the power of congress. It is apparent that if the contention were well founded it would extend the power of congress to every conceivable subject, however, inherently local, would oblitecate all the limitations ". power imposed by the constitution ant woud destroy the authority of the states as to all conceivable matters which from the beginning have been and must continue to be under their control So long as the constitution en dures.
 "Concluding as We do, the statute whilst it embraces subjects within .ht authority of congress to regulate com merce. also includes subjects not with
 in it's constitutional power and thu the two are so interblendcd in the statute that they are incapable of sepa
 ration, we are of opinion that tn courts below rightly held the statute to be repugnant to the constitution an,
 non -enforcible; and the judgments be
 low are therefore affirmed"

Andy Ames was 2 railroad telegra-
pher at little way station on the
Santa Fe, mere water tank of a place.
but Andy was young and ambitious
and was putting by three-quarters of
his salary to furnish up a little home
for Betty Williams and himself, when
they should marry in the fall. So Andy
plugged away. not caring much that
the busy season of fruit shipping sent
the frefghts along so thick and fast
that he hadn't the proper amount OF
sleep. Andy dreamed of Betty all day.
anyhow, so the loss OF sleep didn't
mean so much to him as it would to a.
more prosaic youth. Not that. Andy
wasn't a good operator-he was-none
better on the line.
But one day Andy got a bit muddled
in his orders. 1t wasn't strange uh-
der the circuns stances-he had been on
duty for an unconscionable number of
hours, his night relief being down sick
with fever. A freight train lay on
the main line while the engine took on
water. and Andy had come out of his
little office to get q breath of the cool
night air. He lounged for few min
utes on truck and was Just dozfns
off when he heard a shrill whistle from
the east, and springing to his feet. fully
awake, he saw the great yellow head
light of an approaching train, it's glare
falling full upon the rails of the main
lines which clicked with its swift ap-
proach.
Ames says he knew there wasn't
tine to act-knew that before he could
run TO the switch and throw the an
preaching train to the safety of the
siding horrible collision must inev-
itably occur. Yet he felt so irresistibly
impelied to make the attempt. futile
though he knew it to be. that he ran
wildly up the track, yelling to the
freight crew to save themselves. and
while he was still so yards from the
switch was Mortified to see the ap
preaching locomotive plunge headon
into the waiting freight.
To his unspeakabIe wonder there
was no crash Of rending metal, no hiss
OF escaping steam, no shrieks of dying
men. Instead. the speeding locomotive
freight, to pass like a luminous
shadow along the rails, meeting, pass
ing. Aharmlessly and In silence, the op-
posing train. 1t was the phantom To-
comotive
Ames had often heard of and always
ridiculed this beneficent monster. this
good omen OF superannuated railroad
men. But he knew now that this i'm
possible thing was true-knew. too.
that there was some hidden meaning
in its. abrupt appearance He did not
stop to question. Still impelled by some
intangible yet imperative force. he
rushed forward to the switch and
swung it open, just in time to let a
special. which the binding light of the
phantom had prevented him from see
ing. rush changing to the safety of the
siding.
Five hundred souls were saved from

was afraid of nothing, not even OF au-
thority, but he was a good engineer
and he usually pulled No. into the
station at Oakland mole so nearly on
time that his little 1urries of indepen-
dent retort were overlooked 1t was
Quinn who answered the inquiry of the
D. s.. why did you stop at Dutch
Because I couldn't get it without
stopping 1t will be seen that Quinn
was not sensitive or dreamy nature.
Any phantom seen by Quinn was not a
matter for question.
No. z was late that night. There had
been freight wreck at Gold Run, and
the overland was held for two hours
while the wrecking crew cleafed the
rails. When she pulled slowly between
the piled UP tangle of splinters and
No. sc, Quinn was in a mood to force
the big compound engine to the limit.
She took the sharp curves at speed
which rocked the sleepers in the Pull
man berths and tore down the grades
with every ounce of steam doing its
best to force her through the remain
ing hours of the run at the rate of
hundred miles to the hour.
Signal lights were but a quick blur
in the darkness-Quinn was running on
his nerve and the chance that all was
well ahead. AS No. neared Auburn
she rounded sharp curve in deep
cut, and into Quinn,S startled eyes
there flashed the glearstne headlight OF
a locomotive---on the come track.
Some men might have jumped--not
Quinn. He thrsw on the air and
