WITH EYES CLOSED
By REX G POST.

CepyriRl.t.)
Scovcr was a tiikappointment to the
Kid. After six month a a "uh" in
a little lecal sta
tion, it seemed to
him that promo
tion to hU first
"OS" jcb ought to
mean a edacious
station, a ccn-
s tan try clicking
key, and a ruh at
the ticket window.
Hut Scorers was
only an aban
doned box car and
& "hmr.l " Ar.l to add to the Kld'S
chagrin, he was only the night man.
That he was to take the night nuns
place he knew when he accepted the
position, but ambition to plunge Into
the whirling world of the railroad had
been irresistibly urgent, and he ac
cepted.
The Kid was without companions
during the dull, dreary hours of the
night hours to which the mourning
wailing of the coyotes lent no cheer.
Watson came on at 6 and left at the
same hour in the evening. Occasion
ally be would pause to exchange a
few commonplaces with the Kid usu
ally, he hurried to the camp where he
lived. The nights were long and lone
some; part of the day was spent in
repose.
He became wearied of the monotony
after a few weeks and began to spend
a few hours of the daylight In hunting
the rabbits which abounded in the sur
rounding country. It was his only dl-
ersion, and it gradually grew upon
him until he was filling the days with
It and IcEin? the s'eep which was
absolutely ii.dlspen5Dle If he was to
remain vigilantly on guard during his
shift.
The Kid sat looking cut of the win
dow In the side of the box car and
wondered how much longer he could
endure the oppressive humdrum.
No. 68 went by at midnight carrying
green. He reported her passage and
turned to his reaillug. The long mcl
nncnoiy "blast of the whistle echoed la
his ears long after the train had
flashed by with Its golden squares of
light. It diverted hlra from his book
for a moment, but his eyes slowly re
turned to the page, and he read on.
Suddenly he was gripped by the
dread that something unusual bad oc
curred. It seemed to him that he had
been dozing. Ho started as second 6S
roared by.
111 wait and then put her down,"
he muttered drowsily.
Again he was overwhelmed by a
subtle consciousness that all was not
as It should be.
He listened as the sounder abruptly
broke out in a harsh staccato.
"V V-V S-V-V-VS -21 ticked the in
strument.
He stirred.
"Where have you been In the
hay?" came the query. "OS."
He hastily "OS'd" second 68 and
closed the key.
"Third 68 by yet?" the sounder
asked.
The Kid opened his key.
"Not yet," he replied.
"OK, put her in the siding for sec
ond 73."
Loaded with fast freight, second 73
was waiting at Hawk, about twenty
five miles east of Scorers, for the right
of way. The Kid clicked the order to
Hawk, and shortly afterward the wire
told him that second 73 bad started.
Again the fear of error and disaster
assailed the Kid. He could not resist
it He picked up the train-sheet and
scrutinized It He rose unsteadily to
his feet, horror grayed in every line of
his pale, drawn face.
Third 68 went by and I didn t put
her down," he gasped.
It meant wreck, death, and disgrace.
He had slept, he knew it now, and the
truth of it was seared Into his mind.
The trains would collide about tea
miles west of Hawk. No stations In
tervened It could not possibly be
averted. In a neglectful moment the
tide of circumstances had swept aside
the placid current of his life and
turned It into a dlnylng turmoil.
Should he report her? For a mo
ment he vacillated. They wonld know
why It had happened. He need not
admit the horrible truth now. I
"Third 63 yet?" the key broke In ter-
rlfylngly. 1
With the vacillation had come weak
ness. 1
"Not yet," the Kid answered.
He sank Into his chair and burled
his fsce In his hands. Often, before
he became a telegrapher, he .ad won
dered how feels the man who makes
the fatal blunder and hurls a train
load of passengers Into the Infinite.
It had seemed to him that It must be
crushing, maddeningthe end of all
peace. Now be knew bow really dire
It was.
He reached for the key. He would
do what small human thing he could
confess.
Suddenly there was a roaring In his
ears. His form straightened in the
chair and his bead went back as he
gated with staring, unbelieving eyes
as third 68 rumbled by with a gleam of
light
He rubbed his eyes and looked stu
pidly at her tall-lights as they swept
from his vision.
He sat down and thought long and
seriously. Third 68 was safe. There
had been no order on second 73. He
had dreamed that he had fallen asleep
a dream that was a strange mixture
of fancy and truth.
