THE GREATEST
WEATHER PROPHET.

Rev. Irl R. Hicks, of St. Louis, the
greatest and most successful of weather

on the great Hicks Almanac for 1917 and
had read the proofs of all his weather
forecasts for year in advance. This
noted Almanac is now ready and is a
fine specimen Of ofAlmanac making. Prof
Hicks portrait was painted by leading
artist of st. Louis in May, and this por-
trait printed in colors, makes the frontis

run his JalU into a shunfing engine"
minutes when he comes home from the
county-seat."
Her eyes fell. "I-may not be there
when he goes home. II may 60 on to
Harrisburg tonight"
A queer silence fell between them.
plague take the snow!' the conductor
exclaimed irritably. "Ought to have
made the Meads Fork bridge five min
utes ago. Well"
He turned away, but not before he had
seen curious change come over the girl.
Her slender body stiffened, the pupils of
her eyes dilated until they made her eyes
almost black. A wid-rose flush spread
over her delicate face.
"Are we almost at Mead's Fork?' she
asked.
~Six minutes" replied the conductor,
busting away down the aisle.
At Mead's Fork only three passengers
"A boarded the train. They were all men.
Two of them settled down in the smoker
and the third went back to the ladies'
coach. Presently the conductor, punch
in hand, opened the door. He took in the
length of the car in one practised glance.
Over the back of the seat in front Of the
girl was fur-lined overcoat. The owner
of this garment was sitting beside the girl.
Their faces were turned toward each
other, the girls dropping little, but
tremulous, happy; the mans excited, tri-
umphant. The conductor knew that their
hands were clasped.
He came down the aisle very slowly.
His face, scanned, grimly placid, showed
no sign; but his mind was working rap
idly, darling from picture to picture in the
long rows of faces that lined the walls of
his trained memory. Before he reached
the girls seat he had definitely placed
the owner of the fur-lined overcoat. He
had tagged and catalogued the girls
companion, and he understood now
the nature of the disaster toward which
the Judges little granddaughter was
speeding
When the conductor went back to the
front seat in the smoker he walked like an
old man. As he spread out his tickets on
the seat in front of him his hands trem-
bled. He had already attended to this
task, but he wanted to be alone-he
wanted to think.
He sat hunched over, his head turned
sidewise, staring at the snow that sifted
in under the loose window-frame. He
found it was hard to think. Inconse-
quent thoughts, memories, and emotions
had their way with him. He fell to
thinking how he had always longed for
a daughter. Sons he had, and they
had turned out well; but to have for his
own little girl child-that had always
seemed to him the supreme miracle-touch
of life. That was the one possession of
the rich old Judge he had coveted-his
little girl. She had always from her baby
hood seemed so mysteriously different
from other children, so like little prn-
cess with her big, dreamy, blue-gray eyes,
her delicate perfection of detail, her dainty
gowns, her primrose fluff of hair. Her
grandmother and the Judge had always
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1916-02-27

he had finished he scratched a furrow
through his thick iron-gray hair. "Now,
take another to Bob Pierce:
Hold Number ten minutes for Judge
Knox II necessary. AL JACKSON"
Then the conductor Strengthened up,
with grim smile.
Exceeding authority, mebbe! Got to
be done! Got to be done!'
The conductor climbed back on to his
train, glancing as he did so into the ladies'
coach. Judge Knox's granddaughter sat
crowded little into the corner of the seat
by the ardent attitude of her companion;
but her young face was lifted toward his
with tremulous radiance, half fright
ened happiness that made the conductor
clench his hands.
"Going to hurt the little girl like hell!"
he thought miserably. "But there don't
seem to be any other way"
CAMERON JUNCTION is composed
mainly of railroad station, freight
house, signal-tower, water-tank, little
rusty-red Lighthouses, and a deplorable
railroad hotel. Tonight, when the con-
ductor's train pulled in, all these were like
wedding cakes, frosted white with snow.
This was the end of the conductors run.
Usually he dropped off his train with
subconscious sigh of relief; but tonight
every nerve in his body was strung taut.
AS quickly as he could he disposed of his
official affairs.
He was behind the ticket-seller's par
tition when the man in the fur-lined coat
bought ticket and made Pullman reser-
walton to Harrisburg. A moment later
the girls voice, with its young diffidence,
asked for ticket to the same place and q
Pullman reservation. After that the con-
ductor, glancing santwise through the
wicket, saw the two of them sitting to-
gether in the dimly lighted waiting-room.
They were not talking now. The girls
head dropped until the brim of her hat
hid her face; the man held an unlighted
cigarette in the corner of his mouth, and
his long-lashed dark eyes, set too close to
his handsome, curving nose, glanced here
and there and were never still. Now and
then he moistened his lips with his tongue,
or looked at his watch.
The conductor went out on the snowy
platform. He was supposed to be on his
way to the hotel for his nights rest. The
station-master called good night to him,
and for the first time received no answer.
@Old AIS gettin' little deef," he OBJ
served to the telegraph operator.
But old Aps ears were keen enough
He was straining them for the sound of
Number 2, whistling for the crossing
below the Junction. A spur of the main
road ran from Cameron Center to the
Junction, distance of about ten miles;
and over this road Number should now
