placed the creosoted wood blocks be-
tween the tracks on First avenue be-
tween Eighteenth street and Nineteenth

The contractors also tore up the Bel
gian blocks on the south side Of First

lieved that the wood blocks will be
placed down town faster than perhaps
any pavement was ever placed in Bir-

The contractor has engaged large

that the entire work will be completed
and the business streets will present
a good appearance before 60 days have
passed
The replacement of Belgian blocks by
the wood blocks was not authorized By

been made on account of the very
close examination made and the belief
that wood blocks will stand the heavy

inaugubate a great deal of paving work
this year. The wood blocks may come

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 well 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 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 Il
O'Clock.
We've beat it, We've beat it, Mac"
he yelled, stin watching the clock. He
struck for his chiefs shoulder with his
pen hand-and missed. Then he looked
down.
Allan, stnl 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.

Good Prospects.

The world sat up for "a hours to
watch the progress OF that projectile
flying through the depths of the earth.
O'Malley brought them into Bermuda
only two minutes behind their schedule.
The work of changing engines and test
ing was expedited to pick up this loss,
and the train shot out under the bed
of the Atlantic on time.
Fayal was reached five minutes and
forty seconds late, and when Allan
turned on the power and darred forward
again with a grumbe and roar they
were still three minutes behind time.
OMalley stood beside him, in case of
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-
ing up the long perspective. and a
grim, gray look about the mouth He
did not seem to be conscious of O'Mal-
ley's presence. When the latter ad-
dressed him, making pertinent com
ments on their speed. only the barest
nod indicated that he had heard.
When his watch and the marks on
the stations told him that they were
approaching the Channel. O'Malley burst
into a yelp of joy
by the eternal" he roared. II be
lieve you'll bring US in on time. chief"'
He was SO excited now that he paid
no heed TO Allan's apathy. At every
mark he let out yells of joy and glued
his eyes TO the thermometers as if to
hold them back by force of will.

he had taken her with him. though
they had decided that It would not be
best. The crowds and the cheering and
the happy, enthusiastic greetings of
OMalley, Wainwright and his other
trustful aids could not arouse him
from the mild torpv~ OF dependency,
though outwardly he was happy and
enthusiastic in his Enthusiastically
repressed fashion.
O'Malley 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'Malley 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
