! GUS excitement and speculation as to the
Identity OF the criminal when IL was
learned Sthat an act Of sabotage had
been committed Just when Il whole series
of express trains was expected Thlr-
teen trains in all might have been thrown
off the tracks. The block signal had been
lifted out Of its iron case and thrown

to be on the lookout for saboturs. was
on the watch and discovered what had
been done. He also found the signal

lations poured in on him. The thirteen
trains were saved. Finger prints on the
signal disc Indicated the criminal hand.
