marshal for the district of Maine at

remain for some period II not per-
manently.

a Democrat, recently appointed, and
will be re-appointed by Mr.. Wilson.
He served as deputy sheriff while
William M. Pencil and Lewis w.
Moulton were sheriffs,
Mr. Hasty is veteran of the Civil

has been in this Office nearly IS years
and has made an enyiable record for
faithfulness and reliability. He served
as city clerk in Saco before coming

legal residence in that city.
Mr.. Wilson has had many applica-
tons for places on his staff but as
he has but three appointments as
deputy marshals, cannot take care of
all of them. He served three years
as chairman of the Fish land Game
Commission and was chairman of the
State committee of his party two years
until replaced by William III. Hines

caboose.

SabNOoCs
For once, in way 1t fell out pre-,
cisely as Mr. Law had planned and
prayed.
Constrained to pull up in order to re-
move the obstruction from the track
the train crew of the freight Choked
down its collective wrath on being pre-
eented with sum of money In the
hopes Of further largesse it lent its
common ear to Alans well-worn tale
which had SO frequently proved useful
in similar emergencies, of an clipping
couple pursued by an unreasoningly
vindictive parent, and had its hopes
rewarded by the price Alan bargained
to pay in exchange for exclusive use
of the caboose as far as the next town
So that 1t was not more than ten
minutes before Rose was settled to
rest in such comfort as the Caboose af
forded, while Alan and Barcus sat
within its doorway and smoked
Neither he nor any other aboard the
freight suspected for an instant that,
In the box car next forward of the ca
boose, woman in mans clothing lay
perdue, now and again chuckliug
impishly to herself in anticipation OF
the time and the event she was hiding
with such patience as she could mus
ter.
The whistle of locomotive over
taking the freight sounded the signal
for her to take action on her cherished
plan.
Rising, she glanced out of the open
door A curve in the track below the
freight, laboring up steep grade, en-
abled her to catch glimpse of head
light, followed by string of lighted
windows, indicating single car: the
special, beyond doubt
Without hesitation, since the train
was not running at speed, she dropped
out to the ballast, wheeled smartly
about, caught the handbar at the end
of the box car as it passed and swung
herself up between it and the caboose.
A trifle later the freight gained the
summit of the grade and began to run
more smoothly.
Climbing to the top of the box car
she peered keenly through the gloam-
ing, which was not yet so dense that
she might not discern two heads pro-
truding from the window of the spe-
calls engine, one on either side.
At venture, she snatched off her
coat and waved it wildly in the air,
An arm answered the signal from
one window of the pursuing locomo.
tive.
Marrophat, of course!
She turned and peered ahead. The
freight was approaching trestlo that
spanned wide and shallow gully.
So much the better!
Dropping down again between the
cars, she set herself to solve the prob

rem OF uncoupling the caho0se.
In this she was successful just as
the last car rolled out on the trestIe
Its own impetus carried the caboose
10 the middle Of the treste before it
stopped
As this happened, Alan and Bareus,
already warned OF an emergency by
the slowing down Of the ear and for
some time alive to the fact that the
+ special was again in pursuit, leaped
out upon the ties and helped Rose to
ahght
Already the last of the freight vas
whisking off the treste its crew thus
far unconscious of their loss
And behind them the special was
puuging forward at undated speed
q'lsre vas no time TO execute their
plan of the first desperate instant-to
run along the ties to safety on the
solid earth the distance was too
great they could not possibly make it
With common impulse the two men
glanced down to the bottom of the
gully. then looked at each other with
eyes informed BY common inspiration.
Barcus announced in breath
"Thirty feet not more
Alan replied Can YOU hold the
weight of the two Of us for half min
Ute"
Barcus shrugged y can try We
might as well-eyen if can't
While speaking he was lowering
himself between the ties
All right, he announced briefly
With a word TO Rose Alan slipped
down beside Barcus, shifted his hold
to the body of the latter and climbed
down over him until he was supported
solely by the grasp of his two hands
on Barcus ankles
Instantly Rose followed him, slip
ping like a snake down over the two
men till she in turn hung by her grasp
on Alans ankles, then released her
hold and dropped the balance of the
distance to the ground, scant ten
feet, landing without injury
A thought later Alah dropped lightly
to her side staggered a trihe, recoy-
cred and dragged her out of the way
Barcus fell with heavy thump and
went upon his back, but demonstrated
his lack OF injury by Immediately pick
ing himself up and joining the others
in a mad scramble for safety
Overhead the special engine. hur-
Ting onward like some titanic bolt,
struck the oaboose with a crash like
the explosion of a cannon II collapsed
upon itself like thing of pasleboard
That it had been constructed Of
more solid stuff was abundantly
prov ed BY the shower Of timbers, spin-
tiers and broken iron that rained about
the heads OF the fugitves
For az that, the gods smiled upon
them for their courage: they escaped
without scratch.

leaving the tracks and taking the hand
car with them, to clear the way for the
train, its rumble began to diminish,
grew less and beautifully less, and was
stilled.

painted across the racking bar,

ready to jump"
The grade became a trace more
steep; the car moved with less reluc-
lance.
LET CO." Alan advised 'it'll coast
down the balance of this incline and
we'd better save our strength
But they had barely regained their
breath and mopped the streaming
sweat away from their eyes when a
second whistle, of different tone,
startled both back to their task
Catching the eye OF Barcus Alan
nodded desparngly.
Afraid it's all up with us now he
groaned; that sounded precisely IKE
the whistle of the light engine
"Sure 1t did, Barcus agreed 1T

luck. The saints be praised for tins

For all Its age and decrepitude the
hand car made very fair pace at I'VE

again without respite on either side

PLY long, turning and twisting like a
snake through the hills

as it gained the end of the grade and
addressed itself to a level though tor

And at this point discovery Of the
switch of spur line that shot off
southwark into the hills furnished Alan
with his independent inspiration
Stopping the hand car after it had
jolted over the frogs, he jumped down,
set the switch to shunt the pursuit off
to the spur and leaped back upon
the car

But even So there was neither rest
for the weary nor much excuse for
self-congratulation the rumble of the
