PHILADELPHIA, PA. THE GIRL AT THE Y r^l/rff/hf. t90S % bu h. A. Whitfhtxid 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.

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 ses. when he feigned madness In order to avoid going on the Trojan expedi tion. plowed with an ox and a horse together. The Xorth Star.
