the State road cuts the railroad
tracks when this freight came
charging down on us"
But you, David" Sally shud-
dered, bowling her head on his hand,
the fingers of which curled upward
weakly to cup her face. "You were
on the track. Did the train hit

"Of course mott" David grinned
at her. I'm here, and wouldn't
have been if the engine had hit the
handcar when 1 was on it. But I'm
afraid the railroad company is

didn't go to sleep. I'd jumped to
the other side of the tracks and

the freight train rolled on. They
didn't stop to hold a pOst-mortem
over the handcar. Probably figured
a tramp had been cumming a free
ride on it and had got his, and good
enough for him.

I'm glad you're not blaming me, :"
David said gratefully. "Well, sir,
I was walking up and down the
tracks, just wild to get away and
see if anything had happened to
Sally, when suddenly heard soft
thud, like somebody jumping to the
ground on the other side of the
train. I crossed over as quick
as I could, but by that time they
were running down the side of the
train pretty far ahead of me. 1t
was Nita and man. They must
have been hidden on the train,
waiting their chance, when the
storm broke-were there when Mrs.
Bybee left.
81 suppose they hadn't counted on
any such luck; had probably in
tended to overpower her before you
got back, sir, and the storm saved
them the trouble"
I'D have given them run for
the money" Mrs. Bybee retorted
grimly, her skinny old hand knot
ting into a menacing fist.
That's just what 1 did" David
grinned rather whitley at her. Il
yelled at them to stop, because 1
had an idea they'd been up to
something, since they'd jumped off
this car, and knew Nita had no
business on the train, since all you
people were sleeping on the lot.
They were carrying a couple of
successes that looked suspiciously
heavy to me. 1t flashed over me
that Mrs. Bybee, being treasurer of
the outfit, must have left lot Of
money in her stateroom, and that
Mia and this Steve chap had been
planning to rob her when Sally and
1 heard them talking the other
night. 1 started after them, still
yelling for the to stop, and Steve
turned and fired at me. He missed
me, lucky for me, and I kept
right on.
About a hundred yards beyond
the end of the train they climbed
into car that was parked on the
road that runs alongside the tracks
and after telling me good-by with
another bullet that missed NE, too,
Steve had the car started. I was
about to give up and start toward
Capital City to notify the police
when I noticed there was a hand
car on the tracks, just where this
spur joins the main line.
Il threw the switch and in a
minute 1 had the handcar on the
main line and was pumping along
after them. The State road par
allelS the railroad track for five
or six miles, you know, and ( could
make nearly as good time in my
handcar as they could in their
fiivver, for it's a down grade nearly
all the way" He paused, his eyes
closing YEARLY as if every muscle
in his body ached with the memory
of that terrible ride in the dead Of
night.
Better rest awhile. Dave" Pop

over the boy to wipe the cold drops

you in bed, darling? But I'm glad
you're not! I've been able to keep
plodding on in the hope of seeing
you. Did you think I'd run away

told them so! I was looking for
you I knew you hadn't run away.
"And she made us believe you
hadn't, too," Pop Bybee painted,

dragging his wife behind him.

Mrs. Bybee gasped, breahtless from

Sally, you run back to the train and
get help. This boys all done up

breath whistling across his aShen
lips. II don't want Sally out of my
sight. I-would-give up-then.
Nothing much-the matter Just a

right-in a day-or two"
please don't try to talk darling"
Sally begged, rubbing her cheek
softly against his right hand and
wetting it with tears.
Lean on me and take it easy" "
Pop Bybee urged, his voice husky
with unashamed emotion. And
don't talk any more till we get you
into berth. God! But I'm glad
to see you, Dave boy! I'd made up
my mind I'd never trust another
man if you'd thrown me down. But
Sally didn't doubt you a minute.
Kept me from telling the police
that you'd been with the show and
had disappeared with the crooks. "
Thanks" David grasped, leaning
heavily on the Snowman. Il was

peace Of the world or of Europe depends
upon or can be assured by treaties OF
military alliance, the futility OF which
as guarantors Of peace is repeatedly
demonstrated in the pages Of history.
Mr.. Chairman, must not claim that
treaties OF arbitration and conciliation,
or even treaties explicitly renouncing
war as an instrument Of national policy.
afford a certain guaranty against those
conflicts between nations which have
periodically broken out since the dawn
Of world history. In addition to
treaties there must be an aroused public
conscience against the utter horror and
frightfulness OF war. The peoples of
the world must enjoy a peaceful mind
as those have discussed this evening,
and the efforts of statesmen to advance
the cause of world peace, can only be
regarded as portion of the problem.

the millennium has arrived. but I do
believe that the world Is making great
strides toward the pacific adjustment
of international disputes and that the
common people are of one mind in their
desire to see the abolition Of war as an
institution. Certainly the United
States should not be backward in pro-
noting this new movement for world
peace. and both personally and officially
as Secretary of State, I shall always
support and advocate the conclusion
of appropriate treaties for arbitration,
for conciliation and for the renuncia-
