Five minutes later it rang and sang as
the spike went home, and another, the
last, was brought up.
The gap was bridged, the last spikes
were going in; the particular job was
done, but tension screwed up and up,
as a fiddle string is frightened.
1t was seven-thirty, and far off a To-
connective screamed.
"The localv' Blackmore gasped.
"She's at Dixon. In half hour,
now. HI, the boys licked"
A half hourl A half hour in which
to move six standard cars laden with
a heavy scale of saw logs over that
grade! Two trips, Ben Elliott had
estimated it would take. Two trips
for the leaking old locomotive to
drag them the three miles to
the siding and puff its way back and
trundle the other three over the hill
and down the slope. 1t was half
mile climb from river TO summit with
a better than four per cent grade. A
good locomotive of even small tonnage
might take them over at once; but not
the old ruin that stood sending its
plume of smoke into the morning air
up the track yonder. And if those logs
were not put down for the train even
now screaming its way toward the sid
ing, Ben Elliott was beaten.
He Strengthened, fiinging away his
maui, saw the last nut frightened on
the final fish plate and then, holding
up both hands, face fixed toward the
locomotive with its string of cars
waiting around the bend and up the
hill to the northward, he began to
run.
Holding them there? When the
trestle was ready? Men wondered
why, audibly, excitedly, stirred from
their WEAKNESS by this strange move
Instead Of high-balling them on, Elliott
was holding them back!
Come on; we'll drive It'll" team
ster cried and his sled at once swarmed
with men as his horses started toward
camp and the train at heavy gallop.

Trees on Line

Trees standing on boundary line
belong to respective owners Of both
sides as tenants in common and al
though it is asserted in one case that
when tree stands on boundary line
the landowner on either side has the
right to lop off limbs and roots on his
side close to the trunk, yet it has been
more recently declared in several other
cases that either owner may not de-
stroy the boundary line tree without
the others consent, and if he does the
other owner may recover damages
against him. The adjoining landown-
er would have no jurisdiction over any
tree not on the line nor on his own
land.-Indiana Farmers Guide. .a

gedly on the southern crib were up to
the level of the old ties.
Daybreak found them throwing the
last load of logs into place and the
pallid light Of the early day revealed
Elliott's face drawn and gaunt and
colorless; his eyes burned brightly,
strangely dark.
His only chance is that the localll
be late" Blackn1ore moaned to Able.
Six o'clock, and broad axes shaped
the logs on which ties would rest, and
up from the siding came team at a
trot, and behind it another. These
were men from Lineup who had heard
Of the work going on. They left their
sleighs and looked at the emergency
trestle and then stared at one another
and shook their heads in amazement.
Things like that just didn't happen,
they seemed to be thinking.
Then came a battered cutter, with
old Tim LETTERS driving alone, to see
what was to be seen.
"Heard the shots in town last night"
he told Able. "Come mornin' l drove
this way"
The old justice nodded grimly.
"You guessed, then"
Tim spit angrily. "The lad was get
tin too close to his mark to suit some
folks, it seems"
Seven o'clock, and men staggered
up the embankment bearing a rail.

Test Strength Of
Wire Farm Fences
Cornell University Plans to
Establish Test Yard on
State Property.

OF all jobs on the farm, probably
chasing stock and repairing fences are
the most wasteful and exasperating.
Many farmers complain that some
fences on the market today are not as
durable as old fences Fences would
not break so soon If they were made
of heavy, durable wire and were well
galvanized. Such fences, however,
seem too expensive for many farmers
if they are not sure Of their durability.
The American society for testing
materials has decided to test farm
fencing and other galvanized wire prod
ucts. A test yard will be set up in
New York state on property of the
college of agriculture. There many
samples of farm fences will be exposed
to the weather and carefully watched.
Before they are erected, these fences
will be completely analysed, and as
the years go by a careful record will
be kept of the durability of each fence.
The best fences will be clearly shown
in few years.
This society has already shown that
the durability of steel against rusting
is increased when from one-fifth to one
quarter per cent of copper is used in
the steel. This copper is added to the
steel as it lies in molten pool in the
open hearth furnace, and the addi-
tional cost is small enough to be disre-
garded.

Laxative So Many Like

Emerging from their TO victory

him out of the lineup for about
ten days. 1t is expected that
