HOLDUP
By RYLAND BELL
[The Haunted]
Stranger
By F. A. MITCHEL
==
When I was a boy I lived beside a
railroad. There was a bridge across
the river near where 1 lived, and 1
spent a great deal of my time on this
bridge holding a fishpole over the wa-
ter. I perched myself on an abutment
where 1 would not be interfered with
by trains, and when any of the engi-
neers J knew came along I would
wave my hand to him, getting a nod
in reply. :
There was a time, when I was about
sixteen years old, that a train went
over the bridge carrying an express
car. The engineer was Josh McCur-
dy, the best friend I had among the
brotherhood. When I was a little kid
playing about among the switches
where the men were making up trains
he had jumped from his cab and
yanked me out of the way of a car
that was being backed right on to me.
As I grew older I appreciated what he
had done for me and loved him ac-
cordingly. And he loved me the more
because he had done fit,
In July and August 1 was usually
fishing on the bridge nearly all day.
One morning when Josh McCurdy’'e
train was coming I heard a shot and
saw his train slowing up. But it
didn’t come to a full stop till the engine,
and forward cars had got on to the
bridge. I saw the heads of passengers
thrust out of the windows of the coach-
es and other evidences of excitement
which convinced me that something
serious had happened. A
The shot 1 had heard, together with
the fact that I knew the train always
carried an express car, suggested to
me that the train had been held up
by robbers. Boylike, I was curious to
see what was going on, besides being
solicitous about my friend the en-
gineer. So. instead of keeping out of
the way. I went as fast as I could go
over ties and stringers toward the
train. I was not likely to be noticed,
coming from the bridge; but, feeling
sure that my inference that robbers
were at work was correct, as I neared
the hissing engine I dropped down on
to some supports below and made my
way along them.
1 was now over the bank, which
sloped from the abutment to the river.
I couldn’t see what was going on in or
about the train. but one thing I saw
that set me to thinking. The locomo-
tive and one car—either the baggage
or express—were on the bridge. and 1
could look up from under them. In
those days the old fashioned coupling
had not completely passed out of use,
and the cars of this train were linked
together with a pin :
A man was hammering with his fist
at the rear door of the car above me,
but suddenly turned and ran down the
steps and disappeared from my view.
I was not slow in divining that he had
gone for something with which to
break in the door. an ax or a tie. There
right over my head was the link that
held the car to the rest of the train,
hanging loose. A plan of action flash-
ed through my brain. Catching a
stringer, I pulled myself up to where
I could reach the pin and pulled it out.
Then, lowering myself, I made my
way with a boy’s agility to the cab of
the locomotive and, climbing the steps,
found myself in it, alone. Opening
the valve, I let on steam, slowly at
first, but rapidly increasing the power
till I was well under way.
I expected to die for my act, for the
robbers could jump on to the rear plat-
form of the car, come forward. and I
was defenseless, The reason they
didn’t do this was that they had been
told off for different purposes. Two
were going through the cars robbing
the passengers, one was guarding the
engineer, who had been taken from his
cab, and the fourth man was hunting
for a tie with which to batter down the
door of the express car. He did not
see that the car was moving till it had
gone too far to be reached, walking as
he would have had to do on ties, which
is a slow process,
I crossed the bridge with my engine
and one car and was well on the other
side when, hearing a sound behind me,
I turned and saw the express agent
coming over the coal in the tender
He had taken in the fact that his car
had been hauled away and when he
saw me at the throttle informed me
that in some mysterious way I had
saved the treasure for which he was
responsible, as well possibly as his
life. Without a word he threw his
arms about me and hugged and kissed
me till I thought he would smother me.
Then he fired a few short questions
at me, to which I fired back as short
replies, and the story was told.
We had no fear of being followed
across the bridge, so, pulling up at a
station not far beyond the river, we
telegraphed for information. The news
came that the robbers had mounted
horses and galloped away. It was
some time, however, before we re-
ceived an order to back across and,
when we did, found that no lives had
been lost, though the robbers had got
considerable plunder from the passen-
gers.
Jack McCurdy set an example by
hugging me, and pretty much every
one present followed it. I was sent for
by the president of the road and asked
| what I wanted as a reward for my
feat. I said 1 wanted preferment for
Jack McCurdy. The president smiled
care of both of you.”
And he did. Jack became a division
superintendent. and a quarter of a cen-

There is a town in the Rocky moun
tain region somewhere between Den
ver and San Francisco which is com
pletely isolated. It is not one of those
rough mining towns that have been
so realistically described by Bret
Harte and his followers, but a quiet.
sober place, with no fighting, no gam
bling, no horse stealing, no lynching
The only objection to the town—so
said Miss Virginia Keating—was that
nothing ever happened there.
No new invention ever penetrates to
Cherryville. There is neither gas nor
electricity, the lights used being oil
lamps and candles. The fuel used is
wood, of w hich there is an abundance
in the neighboring forests. No shriek
of locomotive or honk of automobile
is heard. Occasionally an ox team
meanders slowly through the town, or
the souna of a trotting horse breaks
the stillness. Nevertheless Cherry-
ville is a sizable town. There is one
main street .half a mile long, crossed
at right angles by a number of less
important cnes.
One day a man came into town
whose appearance broke the lethargy
that overhung the place. He was mi-
nus an arm, there was a scar on his
forehead, and a number of his teeth
were missing, their disappearance be-
ing accounted for by a hole in his
cheek. He gave his name as Erastus
Clarke, but seemed disinclined to fur
nish any further account of himself.
If any one asked him about the loss
of his arm or other deficiencies he
looked scared and turned away with-
out reply. :
Where there is no solution of a mys-
tery one is very soon invented. There
was but one opinion in Cherryville
about Mr. Clarke. Some enemy had
mutilated him. Here the main view
of his case branched. One side felt
sure that he had swindled some one.
the other that he had alienated the af-
fections of a wife from her husband
and that that husband bad mauled
him. But never a word of explana-
tion could be elicited from Clarke.

Russians Deny Austrian Victories Re- |
ported From Berlin and Vienna.
Petrograd, Russia.—An official com-
munication issued in reply to state-
ments of Berlin and Vienna semi-of-
ficial news agencies that the Austrians
were victorious over the Russians in
the districts of Zamosc and Tyschow-
szy, says:
“The Russian official agency is au-
thorized to declare that the Russian
troops, who, since August 21, have
maintained an incessant offensive
against the enemy in the district be
tween the Vistula and Bug rivers,
completely defeated on August 28 the
Fifteenth Austrian division, and that
up to September 4, continuing their
operation in that direction, had cap-
tured three flags, 23 guns, 12 machine
guns, two aeroplanes, 150 officers and
12,000 soldiers.
“Since September 4, having broken
the resistance of the Austrians, our
troops have been continuing their of-
fensive toward the south.
“All reports concerning alleged vic-
tor.es of General von Auffenberg near
Zamosc and Tyschowszy are willful
falsehoods and intended to lessen the
importance of the Russian success in
Galicia, where, in the direction of
Lemberg alone thé Russians ‘took rich
booty, namely 70,000 prisoners, more
than 300 guns, 30 locomotives, 150
trucks and numerous convoys of sup-
plies.”

The three governments agree that
when the terms of peace come to

Czech Regiments Mutiny Is Report.
London, England,—The Daily Tele-
graphs says it learns from a reliable
source that two Czech regiments at
Vienna mutined when ordered into ac-
Miss Keating had all the curiosity
that is usually attributed by unterri-
fied bachelors to her sex and resolved
to find out the mystery enveloping Mr.
Clarke if she had to marry him to
do so.
Miss Keating on walking down the
main street of Cherryville behind Mr
Clarke noticed that when he came
to a cross street-he would stop, look
to the rizht and then to the left be-
fore crossing This he repeated at
every street Miss Keating, being a
true investzator, did not make up her
mind definiiery as to the cause of his
doing this iit she paturally assign-
ed it to the fact that he was on the
watch for an enemy. She made a
mental memoranduws of the fact, but,
realizing that Clarke would not ex-
plain the matter. refrained from ask-
ing him to do so until she had pre
pared the way.
However. reticence was not one of
Miss Keating's traits. and she talked
about this peculiarity of Mr. Clarke's.
From that time whenever he was seen
on the street he was followed at a
distance by curious persons who were
anxious to be on hand to see the fight.
for they were Dow sure that Clarke
had come to Cherryville to escape an
enemy and was expecting that enemy
to appear at any time to batter him
some more.
Miss Keating made but poor success
in getting up an affair of the heart be-
tween herself and Mr. Clarke. The
trouble was that he seemed to have
had the spirit of a man knocked out
of him. She smiled on him sympathet-
ically, but could not for long draw
him away from the dread of that mys-
terious something for which he seemed
to be looking.
One day she met Mr. Clarke in a
store, and they walked out on to the
street together. Suddenly from the
other end of the town there came the
honk of an automobile, the first that
had ever been heard in Cherryville.
Mr. Clarke trembled and turned pale.
The honk was repeated nearer and
louder. Mr. Clarke ran back into the
store. Miss Keating followed him and
found him crouching behind a counter.
“Has it gone?” he gasped.
“Gone? What gone?”
“The auto.”
Miss Keating looked at him wonder-
ingly; then a beam of light burst in
upon her. “Do you mean to say that
all this terror has been caused by an
automobile?” she asked.
Mr. Clarke, stiffened by the contemp-
tuous look she gave him, came out
from hiding and confessed.

there are thousands of autos. I never
rode in one myself, so I was not injur-
ed that way. My only hope was not to

crushed, and it was amputated. A
second time I received this scar on

DRINK MUCH IN HOT WEATHER
Plentiful Supply of Cool Water is Im-
perative to Maintain Normal
State of Health.
In hot weather you notice that you
are constantly thirsty. Often you feel
that you simply can't get enough to
drink. You needn’t worry about the
feeling. It merely means that the ma-
chine of your body is working nor
mally.
This mechanism is driven by a heat
engine. The food you eat has a heat
value just the same as coal. Its com-
bustion keeps the heat of the body day
and night at about 98 2-5 degrees.
Temperatures in the neighborhood of
100 ‘degrees put something of a strain
on the mechanism regulating the heat
of the body, for then the body must
be cooled below the temperature of
the surrounding air. This is done by
the sweating process. Evaporation
keeps the temperature down.
It can be worked out as a problem
in physice that the food eaten in a
day by a workman with an average
appetite would produce enough heat to
evaporate about six quarts of water at
the temperature of the body. An Eng-
lish medical officer stationed in India,
where the temperature for months at
a time does not fall below 100, reports
that a daily consumption of about six
quarts of water was required for a
person taking a considerable amount
of exercise.
It is necessary to drink plenty of
water to supply the body with enough
material for evaporation to keep cool.
Incidentally it may be noted that
hot weather, even in India, isn’t neces-
sarily healthful. This same medical
officer, Dr. B. H. Hunt, who is connect-
ed with the railway service, reports
sunstroke in a person known to be
healthy. If a man were slightly ill,
however, then the heat might make
trouble if he over-exerted himself.
