steep and Icy road they were swift
enough to distance the wind, and. un-
controlled by bit and bride, they could
not be stopped before reaching the
foot Of the incline. There was thus
enough Of adventure in their trips to
furnish the tlngling excitement that
kept out the winter cold. The good
natured rivalry, too, gave interest to
the sport.
This year there was special reason
for the gathering, for Tom Atkins,
having received Christmas present
of sled Of the latest style and named
"The King of the Hlll," had been
boasting that the title was just one
and arousing all the determination
that the others had to prove him
wrong. The "Dart." the Racer" the
"Dauntless," the Peerless" and
others as glorious were eager TO beat
the untried and Wanting newcomer.
The first race was inconcluslve. for
Atkins got false start and tipped his
load over into a snow bank. The Sec
ond and the third races gave the lau-
rels to the Dart" and the Peerless"
respectively, and left Atkins heart IN
his boots; but the fourth attempt end
ed with "The King of t Hill" a rod
ahead and with its owners chin pro-
tuberant and uplifted Then time went
by with varying fortunes until the
concluding and deciding contest. 1t
was agreed that the winner of this
final should be crowned the king Of
the hill indeed, with none to dispute
his right.
Amid the hubbub Of these last ar
rangements no one had heard the dis
tant whistle of ''The Flyer" as the
night express for Boston was called,
and the competing sleds dashed away
down the long descent without a
thought Of danger, nor, until half way
down, did any danger appear, but then
the locomotives headlight flashed
around the curve and upon the cross
ing, now but short distance away.

The other sleds, somewhat in the
rear, were steered into the roadside
snow or left to take care Of them
selves as their riders ro..ed Off, but
1.-THE King Of the Hill" kept on, In
seeming ignorance Of the imminent
collision. Not until the warning blasts
Of the engine whistle seemed to
startle him into action did Atkins
move to save himself and his load.
Then, with a wrench of his steering
gear and q sturdy leg-sweep, he
brought his sled about, throwing It
over upon its side and upon its fright.
ened load as the train swept by, al
most brushing them on its way.
1t was what the barber called "a
close shave" and what Atkins called
"as good as mile," but the boys
called it victory and rode Atkins
home on 'The King Of the Hill" with
their full Endorsement Of the title.
The old hill Is still there. 1t glitters
yet in Christmas moonllghts. But the
boys and girls Of the bobsled time
have grown old, the later generation
has new toys. and the glorious fun Of
Slater's Hill is but a memory. A
pleasant memory It is, though. and
that is a brave, bright spot in 1t that
registers the night when Tom Atkins
got a double score In beating both the
racers and the train on his king Of
