"Why. no; not exactly. IT was the
same night-the night we all dropped
off the Flyer and got left behind at
Sand Creek. You may remember that
we came In later OH Mr.. Chadwick's

The major made no reply to this
and pretty soon the boss was on his
feet and excusing himself once more
on the after-dinner smoking stunt, say
ing that he was obliged to go back to
the Office. The major got up and shook
hands with him as If he were bid
ding him good-by for long journey.
"You are going down to keep that APP

he said. "You take an old mans ad-

somehow, that you are going to be

ask me why. Call it a rotten suspi-
cion, and let II go at that. Come up
to the house, afte'ward, If you have
time, and tell me I'm false prophet,

The boss promised plenty cheerfully
as to the calling part, as you'd know
he would since he hadn't seen Mrs.
Shella for l don't know how long; and

"Cut out as many of the PERSONAL

Deacons seeking ministers for their

see how things are going" he re-
turned crisply.
The boss didn't say anything more,
but he knelt to look at the break. Ii
was a trap, all right, set, beyond all
question Of doubt, to catch the private
car special The fish-plates had been
removed from a joint In the left-hand

would have been nothing left. to tell
the tale but a heap Of scrap at the
bottom Of the thousand-foot dump.
Under Mr.. Van BIRTHS directions the
engineer and fireman of the pilot en-
CINE brought tools and the break was
repaired.
While they were doing Il the boss
stood aside with Mr.. Van Britt, and
I heard what was said. Mr.. Van Britt
began It by saying. "We don't need
any detectives this time. You are on
your way to Strathcona to put crlmp

then: "How did you happen to be

"Pve been ahead Of you all the way

reply. II thought it might be safer
IL you had pilot to show you the

The boss turned on him like fash.

But at this Mr. Van Britt seemed
to forget that ne was talking to his
general manager.
"It's none of your ID business

and that ended II.
Notwithstanding the slow run and
the near-disaster on Slide mountain,
we had our meeting with the St-ath-
coma mine owners the following morn
ing: and that much of the special train
trip served its purpose, anyway. The
boss met the miners q good bit more
than halfway, and gave them their

one of the best remedies to take not

Middle-aged people realize that they

do not perform their work properly.
The heart palpitates on the slightest
exertion, and the back aches after a
oay's work. The muscles and flesh get
flabby, and the blood thinner than for
