Beard noticed three men with a large electric flash lamp walking along the tracks examining the cars. When they reached the car in which were the off cials they mounted the steps and wait ed for the train to pull out. The To- comotive was soon speeding a mile a minute and the men with a skeleton key turned the lock. A large chain still held the door and this was soon pulled from the woodwork by claw hammer.

a pretty Valentine party, which was
an especially delightful event The
parlOrs were entirely in red. Hearts of
all sizes used in profusion were very
effective and suggestive of the sea-
son. FestOOns of them were ar
ranged from the chandeliers to the
corners of the rooms and gracefully
hung over the windows and doors.
AS first contest original Valentines
were read, which caused much fun
and laughter. Halves of hearts were
matched for partners in a game of
progressive conversation. At the
close of that each guest was given
an arrow to shoot at large red
heart hung on the wall. Mr.. Gay
Raines came nearest the center and
was given a lovely book as a reward.
At the close of the evening fortunes
fastened to a piece of fudge at the
end of long red ribbons hung from
hearts were drawn and read. A
salad course and ices were served
