"Hi, there, wake up!" called the
operator who had thrown it. Hustle
this message in to Mr.. Holcomb.
There's going to be something doing"
Five minutes later things began to
happen. Bancroft, chief dispatcher
In the mountains, answering summons
that Holcomb wanted him at once,
almost collided with McKelly, division
superintendent, bound on the same
GRAND. McStewart of the motive
power rolled down the corridor from
hissanctum, singing Old Hundredth"
with strong Presbyterian accent, and
cursing the weather at convenient
pauses in his warbling. Lesser Off
Gals appeared in hasty response to
hastier telephoning. Then Holcomb,
cool, decisive, far-seeing, the executive
for three thousand miles of railway,
told why he had sent for them. The
Bears, caught short of July cotton by
the squeeze in the eastern market,
had adopted extraordinary measures
for saving themselves. At New
Orleans, where cotton was selling much
lower than in New York, six thousand
bales were being loaded for special
shipment to Jersey City. Half Of this
would be routed over rival road, the
Shore Line; the other half by the w.
c.. S., and the one getting it through
first would secure nine thousand bales
more. Immediately there arose buzz
of discussion out of which details were
evolved. The "CottonSpecial " would
run as the second section of Number
Fifty-three, one of the northbound
crack mail trains. The road would be
clear from end to end for the first and
second Fifty-three. McStewart and
the master mechanics would attend
to the locomotives, the division super
intendentsw would do therest. Through
them filtered and spread the orders TN
til from Master of Trains to pump
tenderssit was known that Holcomt
wanted that cotton moved and moved
fast-and what Holcomb said usually
went.
AS the wires hummed with final prepare
tions news came that the Shore Lines trail
had left New Orleans, but the w. G. S. me-
only grinned and hustled a little harder thai
before. The other road had altogethe
nearly hundred miles the longer route.

been running before, they went faster now.
To beat the other train to the interlock
would be a matter to crow over for months,
even years, to come. Furthermore, Hol-
comb wanted the cotton moved. The FIRE
men stocked like Furies, the light of battle
in their eyes. The drivers were a flying
blur, while the dust arose in clouds behind
the madly leaping cars. Clinging desper-
ately to the brake wheels, members of the
two crews howled across to each other jeers
and insults which were drowned in the

emily in the matter of the red light, but
instead of secretly congratulating himself
on retaining any job at all, he had stalked
sourly downstairs, where his grudge had
been double riveted and clinched by the
fireman in the case, who waylaid him and
gave him most magnificent licking. So he

three yards short of their derailing switch.
Only George Amhorn would have done
such a thing; but with his face purple and
his long gray whiskers fairly bristling with
wrath, he climbed stiffy down from his en-
CINE and stumped up the tower stairs.
His opening remarks to the operator
partly English and partly profane-cleared
some Of the mystery from his movements.
They were to the effect that the Shore Line

shrank back against the little depot walls
with their eyes starting in wonder and chung
to their caps. First one train and then the
other would be ahead. Old George only
took his gaze from the rails long enough to
shake his fist out the cab window at his
racing rival. All four engines were carry
ing every pound of steam their pop-valves
would allow. Ten miles, seven miles, five,
four, the distance lessened, and neither
could shake off the other. George was
disappearing steadily when Dover Tower
flashed into sight down the track. Almost
together the two trains whistled for the
block at the crossing, but the first Fifty
three was train-length behind, and even
Amhon did not dare do otherwise than
slow up. The Shore Line was in the lead
and entitled to cross first. The w. G. S.
was beaten in therace to the tower-that is,
they were until Mart. Bowman took a
hand. The Shore Line engineers gasped
with righteous indignation as they saw the
semaphore arm swing over to mark that
the derailing switch was set for them.
This was clearly in violation of all rules and
regulations, and four angry blasts burst
from the whistle of their first locomotive
But the arm stayed set, and their attention
was called to the W. G.. S. train. What
allied its crew? Instead of battering the
crossing points with flying wheels they were

I'd be proud to make his acquaintance. y
Both trains were running now at fast
quickening speed, and Amhorn dropped
down to the gangway for moment to
catch sight of his gallant rival, Who was
hidden from the right-hand side of his cab
by the huge boiler of his own engine.

wood creatures fed in terror from the mad
monsters that awoke the echoes for miles
with the thunder of their race. An elderly
white horse drawing load Of produce along
the turnpike far ahead glanced back at
these disturbers of the universe and was
snitten with such fright that he sat down
in the shafts to await his doom. In a second

shoe was drawn threateningly back and the
sinewy fingers had not relaxed their grin.
It seemed expedient to the operator to
obey, and a second later the signal-board
in front Of the Shore Line train swung up to
"clear." As the freight rumbled over the
crossing George conversed with the tower
man on the sinful state of his soul, pune
tuating his discourse with judiciously
placed kicks that hurt. Then with final
shake he said, " I'm fighting the Shore Line
fair if you amt. Now give me the pike;
I'm gone" And he went, jerking his train
wrathfully over the interesting track as
though each rail was the neck Of the offend
ing operator. As they started across his
fireman glanced ahead and saw that the
rival crew were officers and gentlemen.
"After you, my dear CASTOR, he laughed
"Areyou bughouse, or is it only brain

and was constrained to grin admiringly.

over so that first Fifty-three might start
evenly again in the race.

clubs in this state is 1905 of which
the enrolment of boys is 1851, and
girls 5,534, according to report
made to President Gault of the Okla
homa State Board of Agriculture by
John E. Swain, assistant state boys
club agent, at Saltwater. Mr.. SWANS
report reads as follows:
"The enrolment of the different
clubs as shown by our last count was
as follows: Corn 273O; cotton 1926;
grain sorghum 11O4; pig, 2OS4; crop
rotation 1853; peanut 9OS; boys poul-
try 767; and farm builders (colored)
379.
"There was offered at the state fair
at Oklahoma City in prizes for the
different boys clubs, through the fair
association, bankers association, Cot
ton Seed Crushers' association, ma
chinery houses, state board of agricul-
ture, state board OF education, and in
dividuals, $S,621 in money value. AT
the free state fair at Muskogee, $346
of prizes was offered to members of
the boys clubs, making a total of
$S,967. This is the largest amount
of money offered to the club members
of any state.
"There were 1,O74 individual entries
in the boys work at the state fair at
Oklahoma City, representing 5S coun-
ties of the state. These exhibits rep
resented the different clubs as fol-
lows: Corn, 3S1 exhibits of 10 ears

"More interest has been taken this

studied their letters of instruction
much more closely and have received
much information which will be OF
value to them all through their lives
Our work at the State Fair School was
almost entirely of a practical nature
and there was much more satisfactory
work done this year than at any school
we have ever conducted. The totaI
yields of our crops are not quite equaI
to those of last year, but the value
secured from the work is far in excess
of that of previous years"
