Spike. They carried him of first, to
throw him into an ore car. They
meant to throw us both in. II they've

Helen blanched. To threaten Storms
life was to touch her heart. 1--WE must

her, "and run the train up to the mine
without losing a minute. Hurry" she
cried, everybody"

then, II he were only able to cry out.
But struggle as he would, he could not
release his hands and feet nor the
gag that half choked him. Every
movement Of the train was SO familiar
to him that It added to the horror of
his situation.
He was hoping 1t might stop before
1t should reach the deadly chute. for 1t
was this that constituted his peril.
Revolving rapidly in his mind the
features of his situation, he felt the
car rolling slowly and monotonously

the day that the evening festivities
at Helen's home were looked forward
to with pleasurable excitement. 1t
was an open secret among her friends
that this occasion was to signalize the
public announcement Of her engage
ment to George Storm.
The evening assemblage was bril-.
liant. Not alone with the guests Of
the day but second special had come
from the city bringing another car Of
friends and procession Of motor cars
brought to the door guests from the
neighboring estates.
In the house, Helen, radiant In eve
ming attire, was descending the stairs.
Storm waited at the foot to meet her
and after receiving her guests she left
the scene for few moments with her
lover. The last among the laggards
seemed to have arrived when a big
limousine, turning In from the high
way. was driven rapidly through the
grounds and stopped in front Of
Helen's door. The car contained three
men-Seagrue. Ward and Adams.
Wait In the garden" was Seagrue's
command to his companions. Il will

When Seagrue crossed Helen's
threshold that night, strange feeling
came over him. An Oceanside lady. an
old acquaintance. was the first to ex.
tend greetings. She noticed the strained
expression Of his face and the ravages
made on Il by his recent dissipation.

Fifteenth lNSTALLMENT
DRIVING THE LAST SPIKE

It was a week later that there were
social activities again in Helen's
home. Rhinelander had come down
from the mountains with Storm to
announce to Helen the completion of
the Superstition cutoff, the cause of so
much enmity and bitterness between
the rival roads that had striven to
achieve its successful building.
Helen was making ready. when they
arrived, to Join her two friends, and
al returned to the station to take
the special train that was to carry
them with party up the line to cele-
brate the driving of the last spike
. responsibility that Rhinelander had
assigned, over all her protests, to
Helen herself.
The train, gayly decorated, pulled
In early and the party-railroad men,
constructionists and personal friends
Of the builders-getting out on the
platform at Signal, gave 1t for a mo-
ment an air of social gayety. The
stop was made only long enough to
exchange greetings, and the party. en-
larged by the Signal contingent, again
boarded the train to continue the jour-
ney to the cutoff.
The morning newspapers at Ocean
side had contained articles descriptive
Of the prospective celebration, and 1t
was in one of these that q headline
fell under Seagrue's eye as he sat in
his living room reading his paper.

FALSE SECURITY.


"ln my prosperity said, | shall never

David had enjoyed a spell of unbroken
sunshine: his enemies were quiet; his
throne was secure. But his prosperity
was not good for him; it somewhat turn
ed his head. and it led him to say very
foolish things When things are going
we'll with us we often say things that after
wards are proved to have been unwise.
Never be moved" Why. the world it.
self is moving. we are ourselves on the
move. and there is nothing stable or
stationary beneath these ever-Shifting
skies Because | am well and comfortable
TODAY itdoes not follow that shall be the
same tomorrow. Because am in good
health today | must not ieckon on long
exemption from sickness and disc aSe. Be
cause no coffin has ever yet been carried
from my door. / must not begin to think
that there will never be d break or
parting. Let me beware of over con-
iidence. Let me be on my guard against
being lulled into a ;alse sense of security.
A calm is often the prelude to a storm.
The weather is fair today. but a change
may set in before morning.
Let me not take for granted that things
will always be as they are now. Instead
Of saving, Il shall never be moved, let
me anticipate change and vicisSitude, for
they are sure to come; and that may be
ready to meet these EVIL days" let me be
