We were now putting on brakes for our second snd last pluoa ore wereaohed B . MacLeod sprang out upon tho platform u we stopped, and went into a bar room adjoining the eta tion. I went back and sp.ke to or.e of the brakesmen, an athuitio Maine man. with sienws and sinews of iron, snd the stature of a giant, "Jim," I said iu a low tone of voioe his name was Jim Torrance "1 want you to keep your eye on MacLeod, and , come oo the locomotive with me, He talks and acts very strangely to-night; and he may attempt some violence. "I stw him drow out that outlandish knife of bis, sir, a minute or two ago," asid Jim, shrewdly.
