Bob turned and pushed the throttle

Jock* then slowed again and Stopped.
Ben was not lacking In courage, but
his valor contained the element of dis
cretion.
, **Jow look out for 'em!"
* The man who had given the com
maadt turned quickly, dropped from
the engine, and disappeared In the
darkuees toward the reur of the train.
Ills fellow fclepped back to a place mid
way between bis two charges and eyed
them alternately, holding his pistol
ready to meet a hostile or Insubordin
ate! mfcte.

the b9M> holng .well-cut. *
The eyes were dark and carried In
tbewi the light of reek less readiness to

Dan looked him over from head to
foot in ftlfent?stonl8hi^iiV. It was al
most past belief, this sudden break In
tho routine of hla llfiv lie was wildly
excited, and Ills mucclcs were Instinct
ively tense for the action which hn
dared not hlHiate.
? He looked sgaln at Ben, and some
thing in the engineer's attitude In
stantly alarmed hlrn. It mtant light,
and Man was sure that his friend,
whom he had reason to love, would be
hurt if Va aapdo a stir'toward resist
;iw*. Tho tetfor of the thought
stopped hie breath for an instant, and
the wild determination to shield him
became uppermost In Ills mind.
No. .12 pulsated with the exhaust of
her air-pumps. Tho steam pressure
was rising rapidly, as a result of Dan'a
'.cood flre and her sudden stop. Her
safety-valvo was sputtering with In
termittent, vicious bursts of steam,

an occasional shout and the hollow

?ot a doscn yards away, breaking ia

Then an? sal? a shot rang oat fibovo
the din, tnd *n tutintiufoutly sue*

In earnest. Tk* sound of hearj Mows
?topped abort. Dan's heart contracted
with a fltkt quiver of horror, a ad au
ln\olaptanrv exctajnatlon eacaped him.
The aian la the corner Instantly ralaed
his rerolrar.
"Don't ran wore, young duck!* he
said, hoarsely.
Dan held himself mot'onlets. bat be
turned biasing eyes upon bla enemy.
A ssvage Imnnla? was rifting in him,
an Inspiration to desperate daring
which he fan* naver felt before traa
growing, and with It a strange cunning,
danger-born In his hitherto untried
spirit, grew also. He looked at his
muscular captor with a new quaatlon
In his eyes, and measured him by a
new standard, the standard of craft.
He rrew cooler. The hubbub at the
express car was growing ngaln. Words
and sentence* reached tlie engine,
tbrcnts slioutcd to the occupant of a
barrlcndcd ccr which tolil of efforts
to enter, which were, so fir. fntllc.
Time was. passlnr, time that was pre
cious to these robbers, and their cause
was not prospering, '..lie nan in the
express cjr wrs net to l?i frightened
nnd brought t> t-rm~. by barklig. Dan
heard the command froji tome recou
nt* ed leader:
"Break the express cir oC and run
her down the ro.nl. Well Llow the
whole outfit into kingdom cou:2 If that
Idiot Con't give la!"
The big engineer unt rn wll*i a Quick
ladrawlng of his breath. Tnn was
wild In an Instant to prevent his mak
ing s uove which he feared could only
bring disaster. It was the list straw
for the boy. Cis wit? were at their
keenest stretch. lie must dnd a strat
agem, or he must act In sheer desper
ation. Ho costralled himself by an
effort of will, and his eyes became eat
Mkc In their watching of tne guard for
the slightest opening.
Then all at once his plan formed.
He tamed slightly ani glauced up at
the steam guage.
| "She's losing steam,** he said aloud,
looking at the robber.*
The other scowled at the address;
*hen his eyes glanced nt the gauge
with quick Intelligence. ftcam was
needed. Dan nmi counted on his know*
I log enough about au engine to fall into
his trap.
"She oujrht to be coaled," said Dan,
and he wondered if bis -.olee trembled.
The guard looked nt him a moment
suspiciously, and then said: .
"All right! Coal up, then."
Dan slipped from his seat. lie dared
not look at Ben, but silently prayed
that tbo big anglucar would be on
the alert to help ir his p'an succeeded.
He mtlSt act quickly, for only so could
he hope for success. His heart pound
ed painfully and his knees trembled,
but the quick thought of that brave
young fellow in the express car and of
Ben, his frlaiMl. bcaced him With a
fierce resolvTOo Wffnd by.
,m. Picked ap the coal scoop and
tfc'Uitfji it recklessly near the legs of
tbe robber. Even at that trying mo
ment the balf-bumorons idea of digging
its sharp edge into the fellow's shin*
Stirred in hltu a faint Inclination to
smile. But his plan was better thsn
that, and he knew that on IiIh nerve,
his steadiness nir.l h!s cleverness lu
strategy hung the fate of the money
In the express company's, safe, per
haps tbo life of tbe in.in lu the ex
press car?and Lis chance to help. Ben
In this "tight pinch," to prevent his
doing anything rash and thereby re
ceiving nurt.
He swung open the furnace door and
threw in n scoopful of coal. Tlu? fire
.flared up nnd Dan looked quickly nt
tho face of his guard and saw that
the light dazzled him. He closed the
door nnd swuug his scoop again. This
time he hit the bandit's legs a sharp
rnp. Tho man Jumped aside with n
snarl.
?'I'll break yer block if you do that
again!" he cried,
Dan stood up with anxious, humble
apology lu every line of his face and
figure. To sorry," he said. "I didn't
mean?I?If you'll Just stgnd there on
tlie apron, near tbe aide, I won't bunglo
again. I?I "
The robber moved to the place desig
nated. He could see his prisoners quite
as well from tbo new position, and he
did not relish the possibility of another
dig from the scoop. Dan damped a
second ahovel load on tho Are. Then,
holding bis breath, he prepared for his
final play. He left the furnace door
open .that its stream- of light might
shield the engineer by blinding he rob
ber. A third shovel of coal, and then'
Dan paused In his stooped position
with the heavy scoop poised In bis
Lands.
"How's the steam, Ben?" be asked
the engineer over his shoulder, trying
to speak coolly. He noted with satis
faction that ho could hardly see the
big engineer across the yellow g(are
from the flreliox, ami he knew the
iwindit was equally at a disadvantage.
Then, without waiting for a reply;
be looked ap at tbe robber. Instinct
ively the latter had turned to ?he engl
necr, nnd was straining his ryes fo
look at the big gauge. Dan'a moment
had come.. \ ? ,
With all the forco of his powerful
young shoulders, backed by his wild
determination, ho swung tbo scoop,
rdgo foremost, a fearful weapon,
straight at the robber's body. Fairly
over the stomach he hit the titan, nrd
the body of the bandit doubled up like
n Jackknlfc and went out of the cab
Into the blackness of tho night, with
only the dull sonnd of tbe foarful,
crushing blow and the thud as he
struck ?ho ground. ? >
"Pull, her open, Ben! .T/0t her go!"
gasped'Din. dropping the*scoop and
staggering Into the cab.
bistnutly tbe big engineer pulled IiIh
throttle as ha bad never pulled a valve
bafore. No. 32 Jump<<d as if stung,
aati took ap the slack of her train
with a crasy crash and Jar. She
slowed, then Jumped again, and the
beavy train started.
Ben Jerked open the sani box, Kbo
should not slip now. 8parti flew from
tbe track, sad the big maebfoe groaned

scarcely hoped for. a sodden boob, as

to his post, despite tbe ezpecftf d*u
ger of flying ballets.
Dsn slipped b-.ck to the tsnk again,
bat It waa sot from (ear pf ballets nor
from thought of them. Be feared more
than with all her qslek start. No. 32
wight rot get mflldent hesdwsy ou
her train to prevent the robbers from
again mounting -.he ciiglnp. From the
heavy pull at tbe stsrt he knew thst
they bad not yet broken the train In
two. and tbe heavy coaches dragged
with a fearful weight. Rat the locomo
tive gained at every tarn of a wheel,
at every crashing exhaust.
Dan peered cautiously round the
comer of the tant. A man. running
with all b's might, was almost abrerst
of the cab, overhauling tbe still com
paratively alow moving engine. Dan
stooped u-vl caught np a piece of coal
the size of a cobblestone, braced liim
sclf and waited.
A n-.oment later the striving runner
reached to catcb tbe liaudgrln of vbe
cab. Dan saw hi* face, white, set,
cruel. In tbe lltfit of the still open fire
box door. Then with every onnce of
his power he fiung his missile straight
at the fierce visage.
The runner's face disappeared. No.
32 gasped and roared. The train gained
soeed until the engineer could pull
his throttle wld*.
Dan fed his fire sad slsmmed tbe
furnsce door shut. Then be ssnk down
upon the steel floor, cold, trembling,
with a sudden feeling of faintness and
nausea. The train flew on through the
night, and only when the lights
showed In the elty station, twelve'
miles from the scene of tbe hold-up,
did Ben curb her speed.
Dan bad no notion of sny great merit
In what he had done. He was only
glad. Indeed, bis anxiety over the
ferocity of the blow he bad struck
the bandit occupied bis mind rather
than any idea that he had performed
a remarkable deed. He hoped with all
his soul that be had not killed the
man.
But when No. 32 slopped In the great
train shed nnd the story was told, ho
suddenly found himself a hero. It
appeared that the bandits oil tbo
coaches, warned by tbe cries of their
companions, quickly dropped from tho
train when the engine started, and
that Dan's action alone bad thus
turned tbe tide against them. i
The people cheered till the boy was I
dazed after Ben related Dan's part'
in tlie fight. Men and women crowded
to the engine to shake hands with him,
and showered Iiiiu with extravagant
compliments. Trainmen grinned at
him and Division Superintendent Hray,
who was still In his ofBce, caaie down
and said things to him that Bade his'
heart bound with pride aud happiness,
for they meant bright promise for tbe
future.
A posse of officers pursued the roh
liers, and in the course of thirty-six
hours four of tbem were caught.
Among them was a man with three
broken ribs nnd a cracked collar-bone., I
who, the doctors said, would recover.
So Dan's anxiety was relieved. i
It was. not till the day following the
affair that the engineer and Dan talked
it over privately. Tbey mot on the
engine as usual the next morning for
their outgoing trip. To Dan it was
somewhat embarrassing, for he feared
some word from Ben in personal praise
of his exploit. The boy was modest
enough to dread most the praise which
he would moat value.
"How in the world did you think it
out, Dau?" asked Ben, looking at tho
boy with mingled pride and affection.
He was a man little given to any dem
onstration of feeling, but Dan's devo
tion to him had been too ip/trked to
pass unnoticed, aud the engineer was
deeply affected.
"I was the only one who could get
an excuse to move," answered Dan,
modestly, blushing to the roots of bis
hair. "Somebody bad to do some*
thing."
"But yon knew yon might get a
bullet In you. Beside*. I Look
here, l?o.v," be cried, bis big, gruff voice
deep w^h emotion. "I've thought you a
good one from the first?even when
you backed 32 off the rails on the coal
dock! You're a brick! Now I know
that I'd sure have got shot, last night
If It hadn't been for you. I'd have
been JuhI fool enough. I believe you
{?aved my skin ss well as tbe express

Dan turned to coal up nnd to cover
his confusion. "You saved my living
and my chance for roe once," be. said,
briefly.?The Youth's Companion.
