to look, the mischief was done. Dur gin had crumpled down into a mis- shapen heap on the floor and the sight we saw was enough to make your blood run cold
 You see, he had put the RuZzle of the pistol into his mouth, and-but it's no use: l can't tell about it, and the very thought of that thing that had just minute before been man, ly- ing there on the floor makes me see black and want to keel over.

Dis brow had jumped from the telephone at the crash of Durgin's shot, and for just q second or so we all stood around the dead dispatcher, nobody making a move.
 Then Mr Norcross came alive with a jerk, telling Disbrow to get back on his job of calling out the wreck wagons and the relief train, and directing Bobby Kelso to go to another phone and call an undertaken to come and get Durgin's body. Tarbell turned back to the train desk to keep things from getting into worse tangle than they already were in. and to wait for the dreadful news, and the boss stood by him.

 In little while DiSbrow had clicked in his call to Kirgan. and when the undertakerS wagon came to gather up what was left of the dead dispatcher, the car-record man was hurriedly writ ing off his list of doctors, and Mir. Van Britt had gone down to super intend the making up of the relief train. True to his theory, which among other things. laid down the broad principle that the public had a right 10 be given all the facts in a railroad disaster, Mir. NorcroSs was just telling me to call up the Noun taneer office. when Tarbell, calmly mixing time reports upon the train sheet flung down his pen and snatched at hls key to break" the chattering sounder.
 MT. Van Britt had come upstairs again. and he and the boss were both standing over Tarbell when the "G- S" break cleared the wire. Instantly there came quick call. "G-S" 'G-S" fol- lowed by the signature. "B-J" for Bauxite Junction. Tarbell answered, and then we all heard what Bauxite had to say:
 "Pusher overlook Number Four three miles west of Sand Creek and has brought her back here. What orders for herr"
 Somebody groaned, "Oh, thank God p and Mir. Van Britt dropped into a chair as If he had been hit by a can non ball. Only the boss kept his head, calling out sharply to Disbrow to break off on the doctors list and to hurry and stop Kirgan from getting away with the wrecking train.

When Bobby Kelso shot his news at us we all made quick break for the dispatcher's office, the boss in the lead. Durgin, the night dispatcher, had been alone on the train desk, and the only other operators on duty were

the car-record man and the young fel- low who acted as n relief on the com mercial wire. When we got there, we found that Tarbell had happened to be in the office when Durgin blew up. He was sitting in at the train key, trying to get Crow Gulch, the one intermediate wire station between the two trains that had failed to get their meet" orders, and this was the first 1 knew that he really was the expert telegraph operator that his payroll description said he was.
 Durgin looked like tortured ghost. He was thin, dark man with n sort of scattering beard and limp black hair; one of the clearest-headed dis patchers in the bunch, and the very last man, you'd say, to get rattled in a tangle-up. Yet here he was, hunched in chair at the cX-record table in the corner. staring-eyed, pallid- faced wreck, with the sweat standing in big drops on his forehead and his hands shaking as if he had the palsy.
 Morris, the relief man, gave us the particulars, such as they were, speak ing in a hushed voice as if he was afraid of breaking in on Tarbelfs steady rattling of the key in the Crow Gulch station call.
 Number Four"-Four was the east bound "Flyer"-"is five hours off her time," he explained. "As near as 1 can get it. Durgin was going to make her meet with Number Five at the blind siding at Sand Creek tank. She ought to have had her orders some where west of Bauxite Junction. and Five ought to have got hers at Banta. Durgin says he simply forgot that the Flyer was running late: that she was still out and had a meet to make somewhere with Five"
 Brief as Morris explanation was, 1t was clear enough for anybody who knew the road and the schedules. The regular meeting point for the two pas senger trains was at point well east of Portal City. instead of west, and so, of course, would not concern the Desert Division crew of either train, since all crews were changed at Portal City. From Banta to Bauxite Juno tion, some thirty-odd miles, there was only one telegraph station, namely that at the Crow Gulch lumber camp seven miles beyond the Timber Noun tain "Y" and the gravel pit where the stolen 1916 had been abandoned. Unluckily, Crow Gulch was only a day station. the day wires being han dled by a young man who was half in the pay of the railroad and half in that of the saw-mill company. This young man slept al the mill camp, which was a mile back in the gulch There was only one chance in thou sand that he would be down at the railroad station at ten o'clock at night, and it was on that thousandth chance that Tarbel was rattling the Crow Gulch call. If Five were mak- ing her card time, she was now about halfway between Timber Mountain "Y" and Crow Gulch. And Four the "Glyer," had just left Bauxite-with no orders whatever. Which meant that the two trains would come together somewhere near Sand Creek.
 Mir. Van Britt was as good a wire man as anybody on the line, but it was the boss who took things In hand.
 ''There is long-distance telephone to the Crow Gulch saw-mill have you tried that?' he parked at Tarbell.

 Representative Snyders powers as a legislator were never so fittingly dis played as yesterday, on the mezzanine floor of the Hotel Adams, when he was called upon to decide the case between his little daughter Helen and Mary Elizabeth Potter.

 MT. Wilson put his clothes away with q serene air, and it was not until he went to put on another collar that he found there had been returned to him, (instead of the low and easy fitting neckwear he affects), collars so high that in his estimation only giraffe could wear them with any degree of comfort. This started him on tour of investigation. He tried on shirt after shirt, and found some with sleeves that were too long, ana some with neck bands that were too small, but none of them just right. He knew that he had had many shirts in his trunk when he landed in Phoenix. but his wife had attended to the buying of them, and he learned when too late that he wasn't on speaking terms with the designs or patters of his haberdashery. There remained but to return the clothing to the laundry, and trust that the man who had received his would do like
