TIiIb win the train that hiul run ho well In that l enow nod race of last year, which had thrilled all the Hrltlsh nation. "A lino train, Hlr." I said to a giiaid of another late tialn, who ntoud by me, rontcmphitlnK, like mjself. tho busy scone, and whom 1 knew slightly. "Aye. Mi, It Is a line train. UiIh one. Talk about excitement. Witt. I could tell Miu a leuular stoty about It, that nlKht ns we l.m from Klnit's fio?s here to Newcastle without a stop That was something like a run. wasn't It?" "It was, Indeed; and If It Is not tumbling ou too much T d like to hear your stoi y Just while we nio waiting to see the train pull off." "Wry well, all. Let's lt down on this seat hole. Wo shall be less dls turbed." We did so, and my friend commenced his tale. "I was the guaid of this train on that paitlcular night, sir. Our usual course was to i tin to Yotk without a stop, then on to Uerwlck, Edinburgh, Dundee and Abeideen, Wheie we did atop It was the least possible time we could. Tluee nights bofoio, though we had gone a laige pan of the dltance nt eighty miles an hum, the other eompanv had beaten us bv about He minutes. "IUU this n It: lit all our olllclals not only hoped, but bad made all piepata tlolis both foi heating the London and Xoi thwcsti'rn, and also bieaklnu the leeoid. We hnil niders that It was to be done, If at nil possible, nt unj cost; hence we weie nil, for the two pi ced ing days, In a state of Intense excite ment. "I was sitting at home the day lie lore the eveutlui run was to take place, smoking m pipr and thinking deeply, when 1 wm iimuhhI bv a slinip Knock nt the door On opening It, I inuncl a tall fair h.ilied centleman of almit r.i). who asked umillnelv If Mi.

Ho smiled affably as he said: "Well, Mi. James. I'm afraid you don t often set visitors on my i-nand. You aie, I belleo, to be the guaid on tho Great Northern Uprtss to Aber deen tomonow nlcht"" "'That Is so,' I icplled, watching him keenly and awaiting lils-net Inquiry. "Well, 1 hac learned by what moans 1 need not sav what, piobably, most of you tin the line think Is quite a. steiet, vi?. that theie Is to be a veiy deteimind attempt 1) your train tomonow night to beat tho iceord, as well as the other company's train. 1 nm not seeking Information as to this since ou will see that I know It. Hut I thought It ns well to call and ask your pilvate opinion of the chances of suc cess, If oi: would not be aerse to giv ing me It on th q. t. You see, I am ory well known man In the racing wen Id. You hae doubtless hentd ot 11 is Co?' "I nodded, and ho smiled again. "Exactly. Well, we have tho offer of a bet of fUOO to CJOu that your train doct not beat the London and Noithwoitcrn tomonow night. I am, of couise, inclined to accept the bet, but thought It wise Just to diop In nnd csk join opinion (list (on tho strict q. t.) as to tho chances of vour suc cess, You may be sine that if you win for us our film will not forget you and tho driver and stoker. I recon a "pony'" would be ery welcome, wouldn't it, for yours"K, and a "tenner" for each of the otheis'" "My mouth wateied. Twenty-five pounds so casllv earned didn't come come down my way eveiy week " ' You can depend on us tomorrow night, sir.' said I 'We shall bavo all In lendlness and shall certainly do the ttlek. Why, bless jou, though It's strictly pilvate, wo aie going to run to Newcastle without a stop' "Tie had a dilnk of whlskej with me and then he lose to go 'Oh, by th bv,' said he, befoie leasing 'there's no risk of your ha lug to stop on the way, I suppose? I mean for fcollsh passongois who might get neivous at the speed and pull the communication cold, oi am thing of that sort' And there Is no part of the rail to bo block ed, as there was a few nights ago at Vailinglon, I suppose?' ' 'No, I think both contingencies are ery unlikely, the latter especIallv.'The company has anangel all that fo- to rn ni row night.

That JC25 was as good as mine. Wo should have won In nny ease; but now ou mny be sine t vvnn In earnest when I spoke to our driver and stoker the next day. They, like me, felt a watm glow of satisfaction at the piospeet, and we were none the less pleaded nt our final unlet, befoie setting out, fiom one of our chief olllclals: " 'Do your best.' "Amid a stoun of chciis from the many spectators on the platform thnt night, we set out from King's Ciosh heip for Aberdeen. Our train consist ed of the engine and tender our very best, I neeil scarcely say with five coaches nnd the guard's van The ex net number of pasiengeis I can hardly ghe. but I should say there were nbout thlitj-tvvn 1 had, ot couiso, a full list of all stoppages, times and likely con tingencies nlready made out "We woie not long In getting up full steam. We passed through Peter borough at the rale of seent-two miles nn hour, nbout n minute befoie we were nominally clue. On through Ouintham, Doncastoi and Selby, till we ai lived at York, istlll In front of our time table b about two and a half minutes For the lli'st time theie was no stoppage nt York and we rushed along tow aid Newcatlj, tlnough Daillngton nnd Dinon As oii know, we nlwajs felt uncertain about this piece of road between Yoik and Newcastle, the tiaf fle Is so heavy, but on this ociatdon, to my gitat delight, there was not the sllghScst need foi iu diminution of speed, nnd vim iiviy be sine' It was with mutual congratulation and smil ing faces that the dtlver and myself saw. a we drew up at Newea.stle plat finiii for a ten minutes' stuy, that we weie actually live minutes before any lecoid time Cm this Joume.v. "Well, t' shoiten m tale, all went well to Kdinbiiigh, over the Km til bridge.over the Toy bildgi and through Dundee, until we brgan to get within measuiable distance of Abeideen. I found, on lefenlng to my watch, that now. Just befoie entering on this piece of .single line which I have pieviously .spoken of, wo wore about fifteen min utes befoie our expected time. All was going well, out spued being now neailv tlghtj miles an hour "We entered on this lust poitlon ot our 'join nev and had gone about a couple of mile when I landed I fell a slight slackening of our speed. Ue foie another mile had been covered this was more plainly evident, nnd when I henid those portentlous whis tles of the engine I knew that the sig nals weie against us. It was most an noying to be thus pulled up almost at the veiy last lap, so to speak "Whatever could the signal mnn bo thinking of? His insttuctlons had been very stilet Our train giadually slack ened speed until it came to a dead stop at that wietehed signal. A.s no notice was taken of our repeated whistling, I was about to go foiwnid mj.el to tho signal box to see what was the matter, when I saw the signal man waving a white light. We advanced slowly to ward him. He piotested, In leply to my angry queiy, that he signaled the line as being clear for the last half hour, but I assured him that the sig nal w as against us. He promised to see to It, and inquire into this awkward affair, and we resumed our journey, som attaining good speed again. "Hut though we dashed into Aber deen with much pufilng of the engine at least four minutes befoie our ap pointed time, wo were too late. That miserable stoppage on the single lino had 'killed us,' and we found that the London and Noithwestern train had beaten us by three minutes. Had It not been for that unexplained contre temps a short time before we should have beaten them easily. As It was, we bioke the lecord, but the gloiy of victory was not our.s "There was, of couise, an Immediate Inquiry into the cause of the delay, and it was found, on examination, that tho slgnulman was not to blame, as the signal wlios had been tampered with during the early moinlng, since the passing of the Inst tinln northward, an hour or so bofoto. Hence the signal would not work when the lover was pulled. Tho signalman recollected hav Ing seen a gentlemanly fellow walking near the line the day before, nnd tak ing a stroll that way later in the even ing, but he was not nt all sure ho could lecognlzo him again. Doubtless the company might hnve offered a high lewnrd for nny information, but as all effoits of Scotland Ynul detectives failed to elucidate the whereabouts of the gentleman, It seemed of little use bo to do. "It certainly struck mo nH rather eiiilous on my return south, it day or two afterwaids, that I had no call or lettei from my former visitor, denounc ing mo for having led him astiny, even in lgnora.ue. I must My I felt both aslnmed nnd humbleil half afraid, so to speak for tho next clay or two ut tho prospect of meeting him.
