 "Fifty-sevcu o-t. spoke 1- tor rapidly. sIsa eaa rc t9 take. Will you sit town a45 #ss for me ten minutes? ?' Marvel bowed asscHtira7z. We 5ok chairs Marvel sat thinking deeply I noted that his eyes were fXeI c1 the 1 open window, his senses mechanically ! taking in the busy drone of the ticker, for he WAS expert in that direction, although very little interested Izn at present outside Of the uusolved prob- lem of the missing bank money
 Suddenly my friend started 60 sud- denly that I stared strangely at hin. His eyes sought the ticking iHstru- ment. His hand made an involuntary movement as if to halt it's progress at some specific point. He arose to his feet eagerly, fancied, and stood near CT to the operators table The man in charge was receiving the message and checking off on typewriter list.
 The IN. M" of the code, announcing the end of the message, had seasaolv sounded before Marvel was touching the man on the shoulder.
 Look at your list he directed to the wandering operator. "Cbecklag off a train. weren't ycH?'
 Empty out freights over the south ern branch, yes"
 Half way down: z. N.-1C791.'''
 "Oh, you read me eh ?@ spoke the operator with a fraternal smile I've got it-interested? %
 Slightly. Whats the car?"
 Eastern Nebraska raiIroaG-empty grain special fG791."
 Going or gone?'
 The operator wheeled in his chair and darted q quick glance at the shanty clock
 An hour out" he replied
 Marvel vouchsafed no explanation. He seized a tab of yellow blanks and his hand sent pencil drifting over it rapidly.
 Get that quick as you can to the division superintendent he directed.
 .Hello,' exclaimed the man. elauo- ing over the message 'Raslltus Mar . yel-we'ye heard of you, Here she goes, best I can put through"
 Within twenty minutes my fFienI l pressed close 10 the operator as 1 challenge click of the ticker ararfzad his well-trained ears that the reply was coming,
 "E N. - 1G791 - wired - to - sidetrack - at - Junction B. and - l guarded. Special = engine wait ing - for - you - at = Siding i. Crew - instructed Command - Us. James - B - Rappelye = D. S."- this was chopped up into fragments ! by the operator verbally as it came over the wire.
 We reached Junction B. after q free and easy dash that was inspiriag for it's jolting novelty. We four two trackmen in charge of fref ca, 1G791 of the Eastern Nebrasl4 line.
 It was special for carry, 8Airy per cent. bulk of millet and fro @ra.a seeds, and had a double damp proot sheathing, open at the top about four feet from the floor base
 Resilius Marvel got piece of heavy wire from the 1agman and began 10 prod for the package the clever bank thief had dropped into what he had considered sase nest | At twenty minutes of three, pre- cisely five hours after Derby Dan had stolen the $S0000 package of treasury notes from the bank, that goodly sum once more rested within the vaults of that institution. | Laughter in Court.
