he cried every second and as Allan's
fingers caressed the brake control he
slapped his chief on the shoulder
mot yet-not yet, Mac! Give her the
limit and Wen make it,"
The heavy wheels shrieked in the
grip of the brakes as the train roared
into the station, but the clamor was
lost in the thunder Of the mighty crowd
that was gathered to meet it.
AS the nightly leviathan of the dark
ness trembled and stopped with a jar
and gasp, O'Malley gave vent to a
final roar Of triumph. The slender brass
needle of the chronometer indicated a
fraction of a minute less than II
o'clock
We've beat it! We've beat it, Mac"
he yelled. still watching the clock. He
struck for his chiefs shoulder with his
pen hand-and missed. Then he looked
down.
Allan. sim in his seat, had fallen for
ward his head on his folded arms across
the control apparatus. He laid hand
on his shoulder, a gentle hand.
IT'S all right. Chief, I understand. %
he said softly, IF I'd built this thing
I'd feel the same way"
But still Allan gave no sign. O'Mal-
ley suddenly started and raised him.
The head hung forward loosely. The
reception committee was cIamoring at
the locked door of the locomotive, but
O'Malley did not hear them.
He was looking into his chiefs gray
face and trying TO realize that the tun-
mel builder was dead.

That under each rank wrong somewhere
There lies the root of Right
That each sorrow has its purpose.

But as sure as the sun brings morning
Whatever isis best.

Tho the hour I've long delayed.
I know that the soul is aided
Sometimes by the hearts unrest.
And TO grow means often to suffer
But whatever isis best.

And all things work together
For the final good of man.

accidents, and hardly a word was
spoken He kept his eyes on the face
of his chief in wonder and perpleXity
Allan seemed to have grown young
again. but there was a troubled look
in the hooded eyes that gazed, unwink-

grim gray look about the mouth He
did not seem To be conscious of O'Mal-
ley's presence. When the latter ad-

He was so excited now that he paid
no heed to Alan's apathy At every

the happy enthusiastic greetings Of
O'Malley, Wainwright and his other
trustful aids could not arouse him
from the mild torp,~ OF dependency,
though outwardly he was happy and
enthusiastic in his characteristcally
depressed fashion.
OMalley and Wainwright had claimed
and obtained the honor OF driving the
train part Of the way. Allan was to
have the first place Of honor, the
bringing Of the train into the station
outside London. O'NIalley was master
of the cab from Tunnel City to Ber-
muda, and Wainwright would be on the
bridge on the long leg Of the run, the
straight dash from Bermuda to Fayal
in the Azores. Then Allan would take
the controller and pilot the first train
