It wan ed but live minutes fo the j halt hour, but already a steady stream j of passengers heavily laden with all j kinds of mysterious looking parcels j was pouring down the platform and ' into the cars. For this was the even- ; lug of December 21, and the spirit of ; ?Christmas was over the land. Hut happies* of all this happy crowd { was Ben, the train boy^ J?i a liitlei - oveu. an hour and a half lie should be j home With his dear mother and young ' brother IMck and his sister Sal. As lie | sat on a trunk in the baggage car with j his pile of papers by his side, wailing j for the train to start, he could think ! of nothing but that happy reunion. Ben had been saving up for this Christmas with more than- the usual i sutilliig and self-denial, and tho result of it all now stood before him neatly packed in a wooden box*" Two men there were aboard the "7.30 local" whose faces reflected nothing of the Christmas cheer. Presently the fireman put down his oil can and \y>ked up at the engineer. '??VjVhat time la the strike ordered for?" lie asked.. "Half past eight to tUo second," growled the engineer. >. "Why, that'll leave ' s ten mires from , no ?where!" cried the flrem.m, whose najne was Stebbins; "Nice Christmas we'll have. Lucky if wc find a roof to cover us. Why do we liave to strike on Christmas Eve, of all times?" he added. wrtithfuHyf _ "'Cause the president takes this train j out to Kdgetown to-night so's he klj> hev Christmas with his old mother* ? We got the tip no more than an hour ago. The men thinks thet rutliel* than g?t stuck between here and thar he'll cave in and grant us wot we ask." At that moment a well dressed man of thirty-five or so, satchel in hand, came briskly down the platform and got Into tho smoker. It was the presi dent ot the road. He was a very young man^for such ? position, but he had long sinog shown himself equal Ao Its responsibilities. f The conductor took out his watch. iY was already thirty seconds past starting time, btit on Christmas Eve one does not like to think of anybody losing tho train, .^ud so perhaps los I tig n Christmas dinner. JjU exactly 7.31 the signal was given. And with a great hissing of escaping eteam and n slow "ehoo-choo!" ni| I was a sudden jolting and j'giring as j the train came tpdeltly to a standstill. Some folks, thinking it a station, gathered up their traps preparatory [y> departure, but Hen know 1 otter. H<* rknew they should he halfway between I tfandsville nud Henderson, which was the last stop he/ore Edgctown. "Hot box, 1 reckon!" 'muttered I?en to himself. "That'll mean a half hour delay, and mother'll get uneasy." The train boy stepped out oiV the piat/orm, and, leaning far out, ho Raw a knot of men standing by the engine, their faces lit up by the light from the cab. a tore ho (lied. an* ofton's the time 1 rode lu the fal> wlili him 1U> showed lite how to work the lever and the whistle valve ami all the rest of It.

(Jo l?uck ami tell tlu? pns*engers that wo to going right through. Thou you fan sio|V h&e or go on with us, just as you ehoose." Then the news was passed along the train that a substitute engineer had been found and the train was to go through after all. Aboard the engine, his gloved bands wielding a shovel, was the president of the road, while Hen, with his faee out of the cab window, kept his left hand on the throttle. In the meantime the brakemen held a short consultation with the con ductor and had concluded that the best coursejfor them was to quit the train and leave it to Its fate. A couple of the male passengers vol ( untcercd to act as brakeman and con UTirWli tvrm ?*'? ??*??? mtri n train presently got under way. It had been decided that'as trouble probal>ly awaited them tit Henderson, where a largo rowdy element wrs lo cated, the train would stop a half mile this side of the town for the passen gers. and then Hen was to run through Henderson without stopping. On tlio station platform a group of a hundred men were grimly awaiting the arrival of the train. Tts approach had been heralded by Its whistle live minutes before. "If tlio train slows up, board her, and pull off the engineer," commanded the head of the gang. "If she doesn't stop, shoot at the scabs, and smash all the windows you can!" Suddenly a hoarse shout went up. "Here she comes! Bless me If she ain't slowin' down!" cried one. "Ready, boys, with yer brkkhais!" cried tho ringleader, revolver in h.tnd. Leaning far out of the cab .window, his face smutched with coal dust, his eyes shining like stars, was Ben. The president, who had forgotten to re move his kid gloves, stood juat be hind, shotgun in hand. ^The revolver was raised, a hundred 'istones were poised In tho air. Then "juj. the pale, set face of the young engineer showed j up for an instant by the flickering light of the station lamps the man UUKAKFAST. Christmas orangen. Cereal (lakes and cream.

Mr. Chandler/ of Now Hampshire, created a little (lurry by endeavoring again to get up the resolution relating to tho Montana senatorial case. The effort was-futile. During its discussion. Mr. Chandler said he thought tho Senate had a right to an early report from tho committer on privileges and elections, and said ho would ho glad to Uuovf what had in fluenced members of the committee to delay action. This aroused Mr. Jones, of Arkan sas, who questioned the right of any Senator to demand the reasons which might Influence the notion of a mom-' her of ?oy commit too. Ho could not understand why Mr. Chandler should seek to punish him and intimated that Mr. Chandler must have some person al interest in tho resolution.
