— DELAY ON TRAIL By B. H. BAILEY. No. 6 was Inte. That was an un- usual happening on the D. & H. rail- | road and the division superintendent, | standing on the ttle platform at Hoopeston, waiting to take No. 6 back to bis headquarters, was plainly an- moyed. Superintendent Wheeler was not a quick tempered man, but as he walked up and down the Hoopeston platform glancing at his watch from time te | time, anyone with half an eye could | have seen that he was not in an angelic frame of mind. Inside the office the Yelegraph was ticking merrily with more “railroad business” and at length | Superintendent Wheeler thrust his | head in the door for the tenth time and asked: “Anything new from No, 6?" “She's thirty-five minutes late at Al- bion, sir,” replied Operator Ryan brisk ty. “Th ve made up eight minutes time, sir. “Have you yet heard what's the mat- ter?” asked the division superintend- ent brusquely. “Don't know for sure, sir, but I guess it's a hot box,” said Ryan, and the su perintendent continued his nervous | walk up and down the platform. Twenty-three miles away No. 6 was whooping over the shining rails like a vestibule limited, although it was only a ombination freight,” lately invest- ed with the dignity of a badly frayed passenger coach tagging on behind the heavy box cars for the few passengers, who desired the accommodation of a “way” train. But tonight No. 6 was running on freight schedule. She was more than 40 minutes late and as Joe Kelly looked from his porch beside the lever and saw his companion shoveling coal into the capacious maw of the engine, he encouraged him to redou; | bled efforts. se. - sr ereegy ‘i “That's the stuff, Jack,” he said, “toss her in and we'll make up a bunch | * He got thus far in his chat and Jack was grunting assent from his dusty place among the lumps of coal when the engineer surrenly stood upright | Superintendent Wheeler had hi: there,” &ald Kelly, confidently. “Won- der what it is, rail broken or a hold- up?” The conductor, who had been alarmed by the whistle for brakes and the grinding of the fron shoes against the wheels, came running over the tops of the freight cars and clambered over into the cab. “What Is it?” he demanded. “Don't know,” sald Kelly, “take a peek yourself. Red light ahead.” The train had begun to slacken speed by that time and was fast approaching the slowly swinging lantern. At last it thundered to a stop and stood pant- ing while the conductor sprang off and run ahead. There stood a youth not j more than twenty-years old, doggedly swinging a lantern while a frightened girl of seventeen clung to his arm and looked with wide eyes on everything. “What's the matter here?” demand- -d the conductor. “What are you flag- ging this train for?” We want to get aboard,” said the young man stoutly. What?" shrieked the conductor,” do you mean to say ‘ve stopped a way freight that’s forty minutes late just walt for at ten o'clock?” said the young ve can't walt e@ passen- ies thre t's just it, sir. 1 much dignity, passenger.

An in- stant later the sharp bark of the whis- tle calling for “brakes” awoke the echoes. “What's the matter,” demanded the fireman, springing up to his side of the | cab, half ready to jump. “I don't know’ sald Kelly, peering Into the half gloom ahead of the train, “but if someone isn’t swinging a red tight across the track down there, I'm f goat.” “Right you are,” said the fireman, | “that’s a red one all right. Will we make it?” “Oh, yes; we'll stop before we get there ductor. ~ “What!” thundered the superintend- ent, but when the conductor took him to the door of the coach and in a whis- intendent hemmed and hawed and rubbed his chin and rubbed his eyes and no member of that train was laid off.
