Little by little the world Dhows its dros%
Deepens the sense of enjoyment and loss;

Well, time will alter, and truth will outstay;
Night is as needful, perhaps, as the day,

So much to do, and we are so late;
Duties still flocking now knock at the gats.

Once—ah, we sigh, but we never can stop!
What is life for but to work till we drop?
Only one thought—to rite to the top—

J A Story of a Station o
♦ Agent. ♦
O O
♦ t
♦ BY CHARLES DONALD MACKAY. ♦
o o
+o+o+o+o+o+o+oo+o+o+o+o+o*
Tom Deau was ticket agent and tele
graph operator for the Union Pacific at
Wcllsville, a settlement of not more
than a few dozen scattered houses, the
most pretentious of M'hlch Mas the
"hotel and lunchroom." 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:
