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.
