the car, and when the other n came

in he yard gave us room and a clear
track. BY the time We had passed tile
"limit' switches we were going like a
blue streak. and | could hardly keep
my balance on the back platform OF
the d~ay-coach.
You can guess that I didn't stay out
there very long. The night was clear

The major and Mrs. Sheila were sit

car. | staggered up and took the seat
just ahead of them, and the major

asked me if Mr.. Norcross was on the
engine. | told him he was, and that
ended it. What with the rattle and
bang of the coach, the bowling of the
speed-made wind in the ~ventllatOrs,
and the shrill scream of the spinning
wheels, there wasn't any room for
talk during the whole of that breath
taking race TO the old "Y" in the hills
beyond Banta.
Knowing, from what Mr.. NorcrOss
had said. the point AT which we were
going to side-track and wait for the
special and the wild engine, | grew
sort of nervous and worked-up after
we had crashed through the Banta
yard and the dny-cOach began to sway
and lurch around the hill curves. What
If the special had been making bet
ter time than the boss h counted
upon? In that ease, we'd probably hit
her In a ~head-ender somewhere OF n
of those very curves. And with the
time W were making, and the time
she'd he making, there wouldn't be
enough left for either train TO be
worth picking up.

there was nothing in sight. Just the
same IL was mighty scary. and took
a relief breath so deep that 1t nearly
made me sick at my stomach when
| finally realized that kirgan had shut
off and was slowing for the stop at the
farther switch of the old "Y."
What was done at the switch was
lone swiftly, as men work when they
have the fear of death gripping mt
them. If the special should come up
while We were making the back-in. the
result would be just about the same as
il would have been il we had met It
on the curves.

As | jumped 10 obey I understood
what was To be done. The fireman nj
the switch was TO let the special 20

was a hair-raising proposition. but Der

~day-coach and the boss was easing our
engine ahead a bit to make sure that
she was loose, when the car door
opened behind me and the major and
Mrs. Sheila came out In the front
vestibule. 1t was Mrs. Sheila who
spoke to me, and her voice had Dor
rowed some of the big terror That I
had seer in her eyes while she was
