THE Y

By SEWARD W. HOPKINS
Tin- up express was due to pass ut
1 o'clock, but It did not stop. Graham
would not have been In the office nt
■ II, only he had some money In the safe
and had received orders by w’ire to
sleep In the station that night.
He did not know how much there
was. It had come in a scaled package,
locked In a small pouch. He knew it
was pay day on the new branch then
building on the 1st, and this was the
Mist,
"Why can’t they send a pay ear?”
asked Orahaui of himself.
“Too confounded mean,” he muttered.
The hours dragged slowly, hut Gru-
hnin found some solace in thinking of
Miss Itcinine.
Miss Delaine was from Chicago. She
was visiting the daughter of Silas
Jones, whom she had met at school.
Miss Jones was tall, big and strong;
Miss Delaine was dainty.
Miss Jones, with the advantage of her
hoarding school years, dressed well;
Miss Delulne dressed belter.
Graham had suddenly felt a peculiar
sensation when Miss Delaine got off
the local at Naomi. He knew that Silas
was going to have company. He had
no Idea tlie company was built more
on the llis'ilng vision plan than any
other.
"If Silas don’t feed that girl up he
will he all out of company,” Graham
had said. "She's almost gone now."
Graham was h husky fellow and had
been at Naomi two months when Miss
Delaine appeared. As Graham board
ed with SIIiih lie had mi opportunity to
study her well.
"No more turkey hunts while she’s
here," lie grumbled to himself.
Miss Delaine look the grumble out
of him when she proposed a shoot, anil
the three went to Hie scrubs, and Miss
Delaine brought down live to Ills three
and Miss Jones one.
Miss Delaine proved to have more
get up and get In her diminutive body
than Graham acknowledged In Ills live
fei-t ten. She could box big Miss Jones
all over the barn door; she could cllinli
a cherry tree in n light summer frock
and come down iih neat ns she went
up; she could swim better than Miss
Jones and dive as deep ns Graham.
She could piny the most charming
waltzes alid sing the prettiest songs.
She had not been nt Naomi two weeks
before she was singing In the eholF,
unit Graham made the harrowing dis
covery Hull lie sang Imss.
So cm this night Graham consoled
himself by thinking gloomy thoughts
about Miss Delaine.
"I'd be a fool to ask her and a brute
to ex|»cot her to accept If I did ask."
He said this with almost a groau.
"Why couldn't It have been Fan?”
Fan was Miss Jones. "But, no; she'll
marry l.urkltts, and If Miss Delaine
was |sa>r I’d marry her.”
He knew she was rich. She had of
ten N|sikcu about "our railroad.” James
Delaine was president of the Q. and B.
Disconsolate, he smoked his pipe. He
wondered how much money there was
in the safe. He knew the payroll must
be long.
He had read last Sunday’s pii|»er a
dozen times and gone off to sleep and
nearly fallen o(T the chair which he had
tilted hack. He had left the door open
for olr. The night wus warm.
"Hello there, young feller:" cume a
voice. He turned townrd the door and
looked Into the barrel of a big revolver.
‘‘Hold up your hands!"
"Hr—I am agent here." stammered
Graham.
"Oh. we know that. You keep yer
mouth shut. We'll do the rest.”
"I won’t submit to robbery, If thnt Is
what you mean,” Bald Graham.
"Robbery, eh? Won’t submit, eh?
Well, young feller, ye don’t look milch
like a fool. Under the circumstances
I wouldn't advise yer to be one even If
ye do know how. I’ve got two partners
here, and the first yawp out of ye will
mean n game o’ shootln' big. Now.
Jim."
Another fellow came In aud went
through Graham's pockets.
"Now, young feller,” said Hie leader
after Jim hail deposited qu express re
volver on the table, “Just tell us the
combination to thHt safe.”
”1 refuse."
"What did I say about bein' a fool?
Ray, I'll give you three minutes to
make up your mind. Y'ou’ll either give
us the combination or I’ll put a hole
through you. Now. one."
Graham was silent.
Jim was working at the safe. The
third came in and grinned at the pic
ture Grnliam made.
"Pretty boy." be said.
‘’Three."
Graham o|tened bis mouth to speak.
"Ain't no use saytu’ anything unless
It’s the combination.”
"Aw. kill him. We can blow open
the safe."
Graham knew that these men meant
business. They would as soon take a
life as eat He could see bis revolver
lying where Jim had placed It.
If only he could divert the leader’s
attention while he grnblted his own re
volver he would take a chance. Gra
ham was no coward. He fixed bis eyes
on the door, nodding to some Imag
inary person behind the leader. The
bandit laughed.
"See that. Bill? He don't know how
old that trick la. Young feller, that
trick was old before you were born.
Give na another."
"It U no trick!" shonted Graham. “I
am not afraid of you. but don’t let tlin
bear In here."
He looked frightened. The bne call
ed Bill looked. Graham had moved a
few steps forward.
"Are you goin’ to open that safe?”
"I tell you to shoot him,’’ said Bill.
"He's tried to fool ns twice. No hear
outside."
Graham could see the desperado
growing blacker. He knev that after
he bail opened the safe for them they
would shoot him to prevent IdeiitiUca
tlon. It had been done many times be
fore.
He resolved to sell his life fighting
rather tlinn yielding. He suddenly
ilartiil toward his revolver, but the
leader was too quick. He had been
expecting thnt. The revolver was sim
ply a lure. He fired, and Graham fell
with a bullet In Ills side.
“Now, hung you, if you want a show
for your life give us the combination."
Graham was gasping. He was wait
ing for the next shot that would kill
him.
Suddenly there was a sharp crack—
the smashing of glass—another—aud
another. The leader was down, with a
bullet In his heart, shot through the
tmek. Jim lay writhing near the
safe. Bill had pitched forward and
was grasping the side for support.
Then an apparition appeared at the
door.
A lilt of a girl stood there, her face
white, a rifle In her hands. She wiis so
small she look is 1 like a child. Graham
saw her.
"You—you. Miss Delaine—at half past
1? IIow—how"—
She calmly gazed at the result of her
lightning work.
“To tell you the truth. I was afraid
and came here to sleep. After you left"
—she was examining Ills wound while
she spoke—"Charley Jones came over on
horseback and said Mr. Jones' brother
was dying. I was out In the orchard,
and they could not find me and thought
probably I wrh with you. I returned
to the house and could not get in. I
had left my key In the house. I man
aged to get ii window open and went
In that way. hut I was afraid to go to
sleep. I could sit up without feur. be
cause I always feel safe with my rifle.
But I was dead tired after the dance
Inst night, aud I wanted to sleep. I
thought I'd risk the talk and come here.
It was nearest. I heard the shot and
knew you were In trouble. I run and
got here Just In time. Chd you run the
sender?"
"I guess so," he said feebly.
"Wire to order that express to stop
here." She even knew the stations.
Graham dragged himself to the table,
got his call and clicked off the uies- '
sage.
At - the express came rourtng and
rumbling in.
"What the mischief's the row here?”
bawled a heavy voice, and a powerful
man In a silk hut and black frock oont
stood with mouth agape while a frac
tion of what would make a fair sized
girl slid, unconscious, to the floor.
"Nan, my girl, here?" said the big
man. "Here, tell Hawkins to come
here.” Hawkins wue'Mt. Delnine's pri
vate secretary and hu operator.
“Huwklus, get Burns and stny here
till relieved by a new man. Tills man
won’t come back. He'll cither go to
Jail or the head of n division. Get Nan
Into the stateroom. Get a doctor.
There must lip one on the train. Get a
woman to take care of Nan. Take this
mini—his name Is Graham—Into the
conch. Guard that safe ns well as 1
think Graham bus. There Is a puck of
money In there. Kvans said he feared
n holdup, and 1 sent the money yester
day with orders for Graham to stay all
night. But what I don't understand
la what—what Nan—nt this time of
night"—
It was not many hours before the
whole story was told.
"Well," said Mr. Delaine, “you have
told a good story, but 1 know a better
one. I’ll tell It when I see the result of
Grahnm's Injuries."
“Yes, I know one hh good aa youra,
but It won't be time to tell It until
yours Is told. And, papa, won’t you
be surprised?"
"Uni—not h lot,” said the president.

Plowlii* With Oxen.
There can bo little doubt that the ox
was the earliest beast employed for
the plow. A white bull and a white
cow were yoked together to draw the
furrow for making the walls of Rome.
Greeks and Romans employed oxen in
plowing: asses only for sandy soils.
When tlie plowman had finished his
day’s labor he turned the Instrument
upside down, and the oxen went home
dragging Its tall and handle over the
surface of the ground, a scene describ
ed by Horace.
The yoking together of ox and ass
was expressly forbidden by the law of
Moses aud is made the ground of a lu
dicrous comparison by Plautns. Ulys
