he cried every second. and as Allan's
fingers caressed the brake control he
slapped his chief on the shoulder
Not 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 levlathan 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 minute less than u
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, still 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 clamoring 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.

TAKE THE ONE YOU LOVE.
Dear Miss Fairfax:
l have been keeping company
with two young men and both
have asked for my hand. One
makes a very large salary, but
like the other best who does not
make so much.
Would you advise me as to
what am to do? PERPLEXED.
If you knew the value of love, you
would not hesitate a moment.
Take the one you like the more,
my dear, and take him knowing that
a marriage of love and poverty is
better than a marriage of wealth
without love.
