Is a Utile station, a "spur track, a boxcar for a telegraph office and a section house composing the' whole. The station house is, or was, presided over by a handsome and hearty Irish woman, who kept house for her husband.

Tho "hands." being Chinese, cooked for The duties of the agent consisted of reporting the passage of trains (none of them stopped) and feeding himself. Two or three miles to the west was what is termed in that section a mik ranch. This ranch contained a widow and three buxom girls, her daughters. One might have supposed that the agent, "Johnny on the spot. as It were, stood a better chance than the rest of the railroaders, but such was not the case.

There was a certain conductor, Barely by name, who leaned in the direction of the widow, and he was equal to the occasion. Ilis plan of operations was unique and daring. He would send his train ahead, leaving the caboose at the station. -Thenof course, taking account of other trains due. he would wander over to the ranch and spend all his spare cash in milk and his spare time in blarney.

Beturningbe would station himself on the front platform of the caboose, like a trolley mauj and "let her go. Gallagher. down 40 miles of grade, while he controlled the car by means of the brake, catch his train at the next station and proceed. The agent did not like this very well. Unfortunately or him his duties were such as to confine him to his box car office almost continually, so that he had no chance to prosecute his suit, except when the ladies paid a visit to the station house.

much brooding he decided to put a stop to further proceedings on the part of the conductor and awaited his opportunity. It was a bright day in June when the train pulled in. and as the conductor gave the engineer a joyful and significant ")tfgh ball the latter pulled out leaving a caboose at the Station. There was a short salute and a hurried departure as the conductor left the agent and the latter proceeded to business. He first placed a Mchock" against a wheel of the car and then disconnected the brake chain.

He placed the connected chain in such a position that a touch would displace it and then awaited the return of his hated rivaL Like a triumphant gladiator Hardy returned. "With, scarce a look at the agent he ascended the platform, kicked off the dog' that held the brake, and with mingled feeling of security and pleasure felt the car move down the gdVPThat car certainly movd.
