About 100 yards down the track from this popu lar resort at "train time" stood a low, one roomed building, the station, Tom's St. Helena. To an energetic, ambitious young man, socially inclined, Wcllsvllle was well nigh intolerable, but Tom had hopes and made the best of it. He had removed his belongings from the "ho tel" to Mrs. Jordun's cozy little cottage, where he made himself at home. He found Miss Jordan a charming com panion anil "years ahead of the vil lage In every way." Nevertheless the uneventful days would drag, and the nights—well, after the 8:50 "accommo dation" pulled out until 11:10, when the west bound "express" dashed past, one might as well have been stationed in the middle of the Great Sahara. At leust so Tom said many times. One raM-, gusty December night just before the holidays Torn with much pleasure piled the three cases billed through to Omaha on the truck and ran them down the track, ready to be haul ed aboard the baggage car of the com ing train. He was not overfoiwl of work, hut this meant the stopping of the express, the latest ncMspnpers anil good reading for several days. To sig nal the express Mas an event. Taking a last look at the lights, he entered the station and slammed the iloor after liim as if to bar out the loneliness of the dripping outside world. The last light in the hotel had gone out long before the wind howled lu the M ires, the roil light blinked and flickered— "Well, of all the God forsaken"— The door opened suddenly, and two men stepped-into the room, folloM'od by a third. "Hands up—quick!" the foremost cried. In less tlinu two minutes Torn was bound, gagged and lying helpless be hind the partitiou in the baggage cud of the room. "He's safe. Where's Jim?" asked the man Mho had speoken before. "Down to the sidln," came the an swer. "Set the white light." The door closed quickly after them. Out of Tom's bewilderment and con fusion came the question, What did it mean? Hobbery? There m*us nothing worth the risk at the station, aud the ineu hail gone. "Set the white light." That mean* the express would not stop. "Domd to the siding." The blind sid ing. an eighth of u mile beyond the station by the sand hill! It ended in the gravel bank. The terrible truth flashed across his mind. He turned cold. Great beads of moisture stood out upon his fore head. TM'enty-six, M'ith its living freight, Mas to be bm-itched on to the sldiug at full speed. As the horror of it rushed upon him Tom strained at the cords that bound him hand aud foot M'ith a strength he never dreamed he possessed. It Mas useless. The M ork had been done well. He looked quickly at the clock—10:41. In 20 minutes inoie the train Mould be due. As he turned the knots of the gag pressed into the back of bis head. Bearing heavily upon them, unmindful of the pain, lie moved his head, forcing his chin dowinvard. They gave. They moved. Again he tried anil again, un til at last ttle handkerchief slipped to his neck. "Help, help! ToMuscnd! Bill! Help!" he cried. But his voice Mas lost in the mocking Lioml of the wind, and be real ized that the effort was strength wast ed and time lost. Again he looked at the clock—only 2G minutes remained. fast the sec onds fleM-l Twenty-five— The sharp click, click, click, from the other side of the partition caught his ear—a telegraphic message. "Twenty sin 20 minutes late." "Thank God, a delay!" Forty-four minutes now—a gain of 20. The train, due at 11:10, would not arrive until 11:30. Townsend relieved him at 12. "Too late! Too late!" rush ed through his mind as he glared at the clock. Then the light of hope fair ly blazed in bis eyes. The Bummer before, when he had long, weary night watches, twice he overslept because his alarm had failed him, so to insure his "call" he had run a wire from the station clock to a bell in his room at the hotel. By an ingen ious connection when the hands mark ed 11:45 the ringing of the bell brought him violently out of the land of dreams. When Tom was promoted to the shorter watch and went to live at Mrs. Jordan's, Bill Townsend. who suc ceeded him, fell heir to his room and "the devil's own," as Tom called the bell. The clock was an imitation of the old fashioned, big faced, caseless time pieces, with weights and chains and a long, heavy pendulum. "Twenty minutes late," he muttered. The hour hand was less than two Inches from the conniption, hut how slowly it crept! If he could only move that hand! 11 is knees were free. He drew them up toward his chin, shot out his legs and caiue to u sitting position. Then, by a series of short jumps and humps, he reached the wall, braced his back against it and. with great dilli culty, worked himself to his feet. The pendulum swung close, to his ear, but how could he reach the hand? Was he to fail now? Ills eyes quickly searched the room. A few feet to the right was the win dow. heavily barred, the torn shade partly down. His glance rested on the stick that weighted the latter, just what he needed. New hope gave him new strength. Inch by inch lie edged himself along the wall to the shade, caught the stick between his teeth and sank quickly to the floor. He had suc ceeded. The stick Mas torn loose from Its flimsy fastenings. Back again, up and along the wall he worked until lie stood nearly under the clock. lie turn ed sidewlse, raised his head until the stick pointed at the hand, made a ter rific effort to reach It, failed, lost his balance and fell heavily to the floor. The bodily pain M*as nothing to liiin. but he groaned in anguish at the loss of time. He looked up. The clock had stopped! The hands marked 11. lie could reach the pendulum. It must be start ed. There Mas still a chance of more delay. Again the struggle to regain his feet, harder now because of his growing weakness. Nearer and nearer he crept to the motionless rod. A nod of Ids head would start it. "My Hod!" he suddenly cried. "Why didn't I think of it before? Is there still time?" And seizing the heavy brass disk at the end of the pendulum In Ids teeth he raised his head and de tached it. The rod, freed of its heavy weight, sM'ung rapidly back and forward, im pelling the hands onward at a greatly increased rate of speed. Ills eyes were following the minute hand. He could see It move, and the hour hand? Yes, it Mas creeping along. Tom's strength M*as going fast. He sank to his knees and rolled over on the floor, hut his eyes Mere fixed on that hand. How long Mould it take to reach 11:45? Closer and closer It crept. Now it touched the iron connection and moved sloM'ly past It. The alarm had been sounded, but there Mere 15 mluutes more before Bill M r ould arrive. lie strained his ears to catch the slightest sound. The noise of the storm was all that he could hear. Click, click, click came from the in strument—a message from Maysville. TM'enty-six had Just passed. Maysville Mas 12 minutes up the road—lt must now be 11:18. Tom tried to calculate the time since the hands started on their M*ild race, but his mind was n chaos of mad thoughts. What if Bill did not arrive in season? lie rolled over on his face and Malted for the worst. The door burst open. "Hello, Mhere are you?" It Mas Bill's voice. "Stop 2G—bold up at Dyke's siding— get men"— But Bill was gone. The red light flashed up the track, aud 20, with a noisy grinding of M'heels and many Jolts, came to a stop. A posse M*as hastily formed, but when the siding Mas reached notching M-ns found but the open switch that meant death and destruction. The passengers and crew tried to make Tom believe that he M*as a hero, but he only pointed to the clock and said: "It Mas the 'devil's own.'Waver ley Magazine. flatn In Ihf Honnc of Common*.
