quick twist of the throttle she once more

Doris was able to drive straight toward
the approaching train. And in less than
two minutes she was almost upon ii.
The girl was wearing bright red tam

car to her left hand she snatChed on the
headgear with her right and waved 1t fran
tically at the engineer. The train was not
moving fast, and in few moments it was
brought to a stop.
Leaping from the fiivver and swinging
upon the steps of the cab, Doris shouted
to the engine crew a warning of the dan
ger ahead. Instantly the throttle was
thrown and the train began to back, soon
rumbling downhin at full speed.

then started TO crawl back over the coal
car to the coaches.
My dress is pretty well torn nOw," she
said to herself, "and a little more won't
hurt it. Besides, if the train doesn't go
back fast enough and if anything should
happen to make that runaway speed up
and hit us I'd rather be with father and
sis"
The little party of those she had rescued
greeted her with exclamation aud ques-
tions. Briefly Miss Doris outlined the sit

other vehicles on the narrow roadway. So
Doris clung to the wheel of the rickety
car and somehow managed to stay in The

skidded and careened down the mountain

Even while the superintendent at Ohl-

The town OF Sheridan lay in an exten-
sive valley drained by the Tongue River,
a few miles north of the city. The rail-
road TO the mines descended a gentle
grade after leaving Sheridan. until the
river was reached This was the lowest
point of the valley. Then, crossing the
stream, the railroad began climbing gently
through the low hills northward toward a
divide beyond the State line in Montana.
The mines were scattered along this rail-
road-some on the main line, others off on
short spurs

had started, was on the main line, line

All this knowledge of the topography of

the region. Consequently, she was able
to figure out instantly that the runaway

THE movies" have little attraction
for pretty Miss Doris Kooi, oldest
of the two daughters of Senator
Peter Kooi, Of Sheridan, Wyoming, mil
lionaire coal operator and oil producer.
She prefers riding a horse or driving her
big car over the mountains to sitting in a
picture show. She never saw Mrs. Vernon
Castle in one of her most famous picture
plays with a race in an automobile with
a runaway railroad car loaded with dyna-
mite. And so she cannot be accused of
emulating her when she saved her father,
her beloved younger sister and a party of
fnanciers from almost the actual fate por-
trayed in the makebelieve films.
But in every essential, even to the seem
cry, Miss Kooi's adventure was just like
the movies"
The Kooi family is one of the most
prominent in Wyoming and Miss Doris is
the belle of Sheridan. She was educated
at a fashionable girls school on the Hud-
son River. close to New York The Sen
ator, her father owns chain of big coal
mines in northern Wyoming; the largest
of these are at Kooi, thirty miles back in
the rolling hills from the valley town of
Sheridan.
One day in December Senator Kooi ar.
ranged to meet group of Denver capital
lists and take them for tour of inspection
of the mines. At Sheridan they left the
main line railroad and boarded a special
train, comprising an engine, a parlor car
and two freight cars loaded with supplies
for the mine at Kooi. One of these box
cars was filed almost entirely with cases
Of dynamite, used in getting out the coal
The Senator's youngest daughter, Esther;
accompanied the party.
That morning Miss Doris Kooi had gone
on alone for a ramble through the hills in
her motor car. At noon she brought up at
the Kooi mine and, knowing her father
and sister were soon to arrive, decided to
wait
After lunching at the superintendent's
home she sat on the steps of the mine
office, idly watching for the smoke from
the approaching train to put in its appear
anee above the winding gorge between the
hills. The office employees had not yet
returned from luncheon.
Suddenly the telephone in the room be-
hind her rang sharply. The girl paid no
attention to it, After a few moments it
rang again. Still Miss Doris ignored its
summons. A third time it tinkled-long
and insistently. Then there was silence
again for two or three minutes.
Presently the girl got up and strolled
into the office, without any definite pur-
pose in mind-iust to be moving about

So as she banged down the telephone

ear, Doris Kooi realized in a flash that the
fate of her father and her sister and their
friends rested solely in her hands.
The girl dashed out of the office. No
one was in sight! But she did not pause
to call any one. In the roadway her big,
fast motor car was standing. She dashed
to it,
