the result several family in which Will joined by letter enthusiastic majority three finally carried the day and Marsh started on her threehundred mile journey to join her brother in a flourishing western town of Broad- wood where Will was night telegraph operator ami station agent in the railroad depot It was the young mans first plunge into the cold cold world as he expressed it though he enjoyed his work he could not help feeling pretty lonely and homesick at times It was a great relief and joy to him have his sister come to for the summer and in older that they might be together as much as possible and near each other all tlte lime he obtained permission to occupy and furnish two vacant rooms in the railroad station over the main waiting room Here and he took up their abode Will slept in the morning while Ikmice did what little housework was required in their cozy quarters and read and sewed till lunch time Then they had afternoon until six together and jolly times they were what with walks and rides and boating trips ami once awl a while a trip on a locomotive a friend ly engineer At six they dined and at seven Will went on duty for the night usually stayed In the office with him until nine chatting or learning to telegraph Then she went up stairs to bed but sometimes In the night she would playfully telegraph to Will by tapping on the floor with a cane and it he was not busy he would answer by raps on the wall was still timid about some things however and being firmly con vinced that her cowardice was a mor al weakness that she ought to over come she struggled constantly with her impulse to give way to sudden alarm from trivial causes and pray ed lor strength to overcome I almost wish that might He subject ed to some severe test she sighed one night with Clods help- I came successfully through it I think It would help mo ever afterward to throw oft these needless Utile flurries fear It was about two oclock of that same when was awak ened by slow muffled Japs on the wall She started u but a sound sleep and listened tremblingly The in regular series Yes It was Will trying to telegraph to her She caught up the cane that lay beside her feed and tapped the familiar call of the- oper ator right Go ahead The labored tapping on the wall again and held her breath to listen and interpret Comc down Yes that was what Will was telegraphing Come down What could be the matter Had anything happened to him was shaking like a leaf- But slid swiftly out of bed threw her train about her and stole to the head of the stairs Her limbs trem bled so that she could hardly stand but she breathed a prayer and seeing a light burning in office she went straight to the door which strangely enough was standing ajar As stole into the room she saw her brother lying bound and gagged on the floor almost fainted away at the sight but the thought flashed over her It is my test Then with the petition God help me to be brave she sprang forward knelt down unloosed her brothers and took the gag from his mouthy Oh Will she gasped Are you hurt Sis he replied but we quick before the gang comes back again Here take my knife and cut the cords around my ankles I so stiff Thats right now help me up lie staggered to the tele graph instrument and called up the operator at the next office hers here he telegraphed and officers by down sure AH right came the welcome ply Mow Sis cried the plucky young fellow brave little Sis tie me up again The jobbers have gone up to the bank and may he back at any minute They tied and gagged me so that I couldnt send out any alarm If they come back and find me tied just the same think its all right and hang around here till the officers come down from Winona and nab them Be a brave girl thats right Now gag me and go upstairs and get into bed again and lock the door You may hear something in teresting by and by did as her brother bade her She was not half so frightened now as at first she told herself The plan for capturing the robbers was a fine one and Will was so brave and con fident Ooodhyc dear she whis pered as she left him Dont do anything that will provoke them and malic them hurt you Then she crept locked the door and crept into bed It could not nave been more than five minutes later when the robbers returned from the one little hank of which the town boasted They had evidently made a good haul and were well satisfied with themselves They paid no attention to Will except to drag him on one side while they ex plored the cash drawer in the office and carefully examined the small safe Presently heard the thunder of the early down train The rob bers heard it too hut they knew that that train was not scheduled to stop at and so kept on with their work But the train did stop and then there was a sound of scurry ing feet shouts struggling on the platform and one or two pistol shots Ten minutes later Will sprang up the stairs and knocked at the door Its I he cried The officers have got every one of them Ive told the sheriff the whole aiid hes asking alter you Says you are the pluckiest little girt east of the Rockies and if you live twenty- four hours older youll own a life pass over this
