hear n fnini soimd like the far-uway if I ibl write down any real tie
fluttering of 11 safet) valve, We were script h f Ihe way things stacked up '
no) ten seconds too goon, The special 'here in thnl lonesome valley for Ihe I
was coming, title bunch of h- (im g i aghast at !
Mr. Norcross, who vas sun in the tne ""f"1 horror, I in I wouldn't

"Fling your coal over Die headlight, !
nnd theu be ready to snatch i' and
get off I" he shouted. "If thej see it
ground : "Break the coupling on the
coach, Jimmie- quick !"
As I jumped to obey I understood
what was to be dune. The flremnn nl
the suitch n- to lei the special k
by. and then Ihe bfiss Jusl the Loss
lone on the engine was ;o be let
out on tho main (rack to put himself
between the chnser and the chased. It
wax a hair-raising proposition, but per
hops Jusl perhaps no) quite so sub
etiini v ii looked. With skilful han
dling the Interposed engine might p.
sibiy be kepi out of the wn) by hack
ing, and Its warning hendllghl shin
ing full Into the eyes of the men In
the 4HVs cab would RurelyMic enough
to stop them- If anything would.
I bad Jusl finished ut upllng the
day-coach and the boss was easing our
engine ahead a bit to make sure that
she ii loose, when Ihe car door
opened behind me and Ihe major and
Mrs. Sheila came out In the front
vestibule, i' was Mrs. Shelln ulei
poke to me, and her voice had bor
rowed some of the big terror Hint 1
bad seen in her eye- while she WHS
sittini; In the office at Portal 'it..
Where whereabouts are we, Jini
mle?" she nsked.
Before I could open my mou'h the
black shadows of the ci ked valley
beyond 'he switch were shot through
Willi tlie wjiite. slilinniei niu tin
a headlight beam, and 5 scennd later
the special nicked into view on the
curve of approach.
As we looked, there was a short,
sharp w histle yelp, the brakes gripped
tile wheels, the one car train. With Ore
grinding from every brake shoe, came
to a jerkin;: s!np a Bhort cnr-leugth on
our side of the switch, and 11 man
dropped from the engine step to 1:0
SpiintlUg to the rear. And It was
plain that neither tho engineer tmr
the man wlm un- running hack saw
our outfll waiting on the leg of the old
"Y."
Klrgan as the first one to under
stand. With n shoul nf warning, he
jumped and ran Inward tho stopped
train, yelling at the engineer for God's
sake in putt mil ami go on. Hack In
the hills beyond the curve of approach
another boars,, murmur was Jarring
upon the air. and the Special's firn-
innn. who was the man we bad seen i
Jnuii off and go running back, and
ho. of course, didn't know thai we
had our man there, was apparently I
trying to ranch the switch behind hi ;
train to throw it against Ihe following
engine to shoot It (iff on the "V."
By this time the Pos was off of our
engine nnd racing S cross the ancle of
the "Y" only :i little waj behind Kir
gim. He realised thai bts plan was
smashed by the Stopping of the spe
cial, and that the very catastrophe we
had come out to try to prevent wast
due to baiipen light there and then.
Whatever Mir man Waiting S1 the
switch miffbt do. there was hound to
be n collision u be lefl Ihe points
set for the main tine, the wild engine
would crush Into the rear end of the
Stopped special ; nnd If be did the ot;i.
er ihiiig. our engine and coach stand
