SCHOOL NOTES
>>>>>~~~~>~<> = :

Monday morning Prof. Franks gave
the high school fine talk and show
ed the students a fine collection of
Indian relics.
The football game last Saturday be-
tween Olathe and Delta was won by
Delta, the score being 81 to Z.
Everyone come out and boost for
Delta next Monday afternoon, when
Gunnison plays against Delta.
A football game was played Tues
and High School boys. Wendall Hard.
ing made fine 40 yard drop kick.
The score was II to 6 in favor of the
school boys.
Alice Wrights parents left Monday
to make their home in Bonneville,
Ark, but Alice just couldn't leave he
Delta High School and the other thirty
six of the senior class.
Tuesday morning the high school
practiced their old school yells, under
the direction of George Childs AMI
Clarence Kurz They certainly can
make a racket.
A football game will be played Fri
day afternoon between Hotchkiss and
Delta, at Delta.
The Misses Burch,, Cline, Foster,
Driskill. Cox and McMichael enjoyed
very pleasant day at ouray Satur-
day, going to that place in an automo-
bile.
Prof. Franks received check for
the prizes. which Delta High School
took at the Montrose fair.

windows. indicating a single car: the
special, beyond a 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 1t passed and swung
herself up between 1t 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-

Capoooe.
For once, in a way. It 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-
seuted with sum of money. In the
hopes Of further largesse 1t lent its
common ear to Alan's well-worn tale,
which had SO frequently proved useful
In similar emergencies, OF an eloping
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
psrdue. now and again chuckling
impishiy - herself in anticipation OF
the time and the event she was biding

Marrophat, of course!
She turned and peered ahead. The
freight was approaching trestlc that
spanned wide and shallow gully.
So much the better!
Dropping down again between the
cars, she set herself to solve the prob
lem of uncoupling the caboose.
In this she was successful Just as
the last car rolled out on the trestle
Its own impetus carried the cabooee
to the middle OF the trestle before 1t
stopped.
AS this happened, Alan and Barcus,
already warned of an emergency by
the slowing down Of the car. and for
special was again in pursuit, leaped
out upon the ties and helped Rose to
alight.
Already the last of the freight was
whisking OF the trestle. Its crew thus
far unconscious of their loss
And behind them the special was
plunging forward at unabated speed.
There was 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 1t
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 a min
ute?"
Barcus shrugged: II can try. We
might as well-even II can't"
While speaking, he was lowering
himself between the ties.
"All right" he announced briefly.
With 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 Alan's ankles. then released her
hold and dropped the balance of the
distance to the ground. scant ten
feet, landing without injury.
A thought later Alan dropped lightly
to her side. staggered a trifie, recov-
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 mad scramble for safety.
Overhead the special engine, hur-
Ting onward like some titanic bolt,
struck the caboose with a crash like
the explosion of cannon. II cola psed
upon itself like thing of pasteboard.
That 1t had been constructed of
more solid stuff was abundantly
proved by the shower of timbers, splin-
ters and broken iron that rained about
the heads of the fugitives.
For all that, the gods smiled upon
them for their courage: they escaped
without q scratch.

CHAPTER xxxIV.
Hand Car,

Hand Car.
WELL" Mr.. Barcus broke a silence
whose eloquence may not be translated
In print-"can you beat it?'
mot with this outfit" Alan admit
ted gloomily.
."But-damn it!-we've got to-"
"Profanity-even yours, my friend
won't make this Pullman move without
an engine"
"All the same. we can't stop here
like bumps on log, waiting for that
gang of thugs to sail up in the light
engine and cut our blessed throate."
Mr.. Law answered this unanswer-
able contention only with a shrug.
Then, stepping out on the forward
platform of the Pullman, he cast a
hopeless eye over the landscape.
Raw, rugged hills hemmed in the
right of way. hills whose vast fianks
were covered with dense thickets of
mesquite, chapparal. sagebrush and
-cacti, the haunt of owls and rattle
snakes and-solitude. No way of es-
cape from that pocket in the hills 9TH
er than by the railroad itself.
He lowered his gaze to the tracks

'Eh-what now?" Barcus inquired
with interest.
Some thoughtful body has left an
old hand car over there in the ditch"
Allan replied. Maybe 1t isn't beyond
service"
with me supplying the horsepower,

Horse isn't the word" Alan cor
rected meticulously; and escaped the
Others wrath by dropping down to the
ballast and trotting over to the ditch,
where the hand car lay.
Looks as If it might work." he an
nounced. Come along and lend me a
hand"
Half minute" Barcus answered,
dodging suddenly back into the car.
When he reappeared, after some five
minutes, Rose accompanied him, and
Barcus was smiling as brilliantly as
though nothing whatever was wrong
with his world.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, old top"
he explained; but l was smitten with
m inspiration. There didn't seem to
be any sense in letting the amiable
Judith loose upon this fair land, so
found coil of wire in the porter's
closet and wired the handle of the
drawing room door fast to the bars
across the aisle. It'll take her some
time to get out now, without assist
ance."
Ten minutes more had passed before
the two grimy and perspiring gentle
men succeeded in placing the hand car
upon the tracks.
'It's a swell little hand car" Bar
Gus observed grimly: mo wonder they
threw it away"
whats the difference how 1t looks.
- long as it will go?"
''But will it?" Barcus doubted.
Somewhere far back along the line a
locomotive hooted mournfully.
Its got tot" Alan replied, helping
Rose aboard. IF we can only get out
of sight before they get here"
Don't worry" Barcus advised:
r'that's freight whistle"
Maybe you can distinguish the
whistle of freight from that Of a pas
senger train-I don't say you can't;
but I'll take no chances on your judg-
sment being good. Hop aboard here II
you're coming with us!"
Slowly the hand car stirred on its
grease-hungry and complaining axles; i;
slowly II gathered momentum and
0urged noisily up the track as Alan
nnd Barcus, on opposite sides of the
thandlebar. alternately rose and fell
back; slowly 1t mounted the slight
grade to the bend in the track. rounded
