COASTER SPECIAL. - Br TAVLOU WHITE. Copyright, 197, by N. E. Daley. "Do yon tbink King can keep tbls pace all tbe way to town?' asked Joyce anxloualy. Dick Toirlngton'a chin squared Itself as be looked st tbe sturdy black flying over tbe bard packed snow. "It King doesnt keep going," he said, witb an aneaay laugh, "you'll keep on being Joyce Waring and not Joyce Torrtngton. I've timed it so as to Just make tbe train. If we miss tbat, your father will be after us In no time at all." Joyce shivered st the suggestion For years she bad lived In dread of the stern old man wbo since bis wife's death bad looked on life wltb hatred. Wben Joycv had come, her gentle mother had slowly laded away, and Hiram Waring, blaming tbe Innocent child for tin death of the woman be loved so passionately, bad never shown ber the affection that was her heritage. As a child her Innocent transgres sions were puulsbcd with an unjust se verity, and when Dick Torrlngton had aoked her father for ber titand he bad been driven from the house for no other appareut reason than Mr. War Inge hatred of Joyce. The father would not give bia consent to a mar riage because It would make her hap py, and tlioreaftcr he watched ber more closely than ever. But Dick TorrlnKton was not of the sort to take his iinjunt rilirobwal with out an effort to wlu the woman he loved, and the elopement was the re ault Busby was the terminal station of a branch line oa which tbe single train msde two trips dally eacb way. Hank Oarew took a pride In the punctuality with which tbe road wns run, and it was certain that the morning train would leave exactly at half past II. Hy planning tbe elopement so as to reach the station Just as the train stnrted. Dick waa assured that there could be no successful pursuit King could cover the ground faster than Wsrlng's double team, even abould the latter be already bitched. The start of tbe elopement bad been successfully accomplished, and now King waa flying over tbe road toward the town, while Hiram Waring still puttered about the barn in blissful IguoruDce. Presently, however, be would come Into the house, and then perbaiie be would realize what was up. Meanwhile tbey would have made the train, and preseotly tbey would be across tho state Hue. where licenses were not necessary. The laws of their own stats required residence before a license could be Issued, and aa town clerk Joyce's father waa charged wltb the Issuance of licenses. All would have gone well If a small boy bad not thrown a snowball at Dick. The well packed ball of snow missed the driver, but struck King a smart blow In the rlbe. The high spir ited borne waa unused to such treat ment and bolted down toe road wttb Dick frantically sawing at the reins. It Is all rlghtr be shouted. "It will belo 'ob jneke time. It will be easy If "IT WIU. WMLT Va fttABJi TIKE. can atop him before" we reacn tne Hill." Joyce'a face blanched. The Hill (al ways spelled with a capital) was a steep descent of nearly a mile, with one ugly turn. If King should bolt down tbe bill, there waa little chance tbat Dick would be able to guide him around tbe curve, and tbey would be thrown down tbe side. "You will stop him before then," she said confidently. But the corners of ber mouth were drawn and ber Hps were white. She knew King and re alized bow little chance there was even while she sought to comfort Dick with her confidence. It was a little more than a mile to the top of tbe Hill, and Dick fougbt tbe horse every Inch of the way. He had called to Joyce to kneel In the bot tom of the cutter, and just as they reached the descent be pulled King's bend to one side and guided tbe erased animal Into a tree. Dick shot over tbe side of the cutter as they struck, but be was on bis feet In an lustant to hold tbe horse. There was no need for that. King lay s'.Hl on the- sparkling- snow wltb bis head twisted oddly to one side, and for n moment Dick gazed sadly upon bis fa vorite. Joyce, be had seen, was unharmed. Her position and the thick robes bod saved ber from worse than a sbakluj; up, and she bad revalued tbe seat l'oor old King!" she cried as she saw with relief that Dick was unliurl. "1 could kill that little Edwards iioy." "Never mind the Edwards boy." said Dick brusquely. "What we have to tbink about is tbe train. We never ran walk that bill in time to make the train. Have you nerve enough to coast It In tbe cutter'" "I'd risk anything rather tban return home." cried Joyce. "I never will let father catch as." "Then here goes." cried Dick gayly as he pulled the cutter back Into tbe road and caught up one of tbe broken shafts. "It's I teen a long time since I went bobbiug, but I think 1 can make it" He irave Joyce the shnft to bold and pushed tbe cutter over the brow of the bill, climbing In over the back when he had It started. Once back In the cutter he took tbe shaft and Improvised a steering md- ter. The liotly work nu'orded him lever age, and Pick laughed ns the sleigh began to Ruin speed. For the first half mile the rosd was straight, and little steering was neces sary. Then ahead loomed the turn, and Dick's face turned grave as be dug the shaft into tbe mud. Slowly tbe sleigh responded to tbe pressure, and In another instant tbey had awung around the curve aa neatly as a champloo coaster on bis low pointer, and they were again on the strnlght and headed for the Btatlon. Hank Carew bad just backed his en gine down from the house, and a white plume of steam rose from the dome as the engineer waited for the minute hand of tbo clock to touch the bottom of the dial. The runaways were still a quarter of a mile from the station when the cut ter slowed up. but they had gained more than a minute lu their swift de-j scent snd they did not have to ran. As they csme up to the station plat form the little knots of loungers gath ered about them. Rupidly Dick ex plained the reason for tbe coast aud the listeners chocred as they beord the talc. For years they hod grumbled at the wuy Waring treated Joce, and thev were glad that ut last sue was to he released from her father's bard reign. "Here comes your dad now!" piped a brill voice. And wltb one accord tbey turned to see the familiar War ing team tearing over tbe brow of the bill. Carew glanced at tbe steam gauge and tbe clock. Then be leaned out of tbe window. "All aboard tbnt'e golngr he called In a stentorian voice. "We're chang ing the schedule today. The 9:30 Is go ing out st 0:23!" Another Instant and the train was rattling down the road toward ths state line, snd Hiram Waring came dashing up to the platform to be greet ed by Ironical cheers. "The train went ahead of time!" be epnttered. "I shall report this to tht official!!" "You're wrong, son Ire," drawled Ned Bursa, who posed ss a wag.

On a little street not far east of the fort lived Dledrlch Ten Broek Broek Is the Dutch for britches a dyer, whose daughter An neke was one of the belles of the town.

Tbe lower story of Ten Broek's house was wide enough to tak In his vats without discommoding the family. I One night wben tbere was a fire on what is now Broad street, where tbe bolls and beurs dally devour the lambs In the stock market, Anncke saw a young man of ber acquaintance, Wou ter Bleeker, In the line of those passing buckets, suddenly dart to the burning buildlug, shin up a water spout and rescue a child. Tbe young girl was filled with admiration of the swsln. and under ber encouragement he later paid his court to her. Unfortunately tor tbe lovers, Ten Broek frowned up on tbe connection, which Is not sur prising since young Bleeker bad no place to put a bride. Nevertheless Anneke could not be prevailed upon to give up Wouter, and be continued bis visits at tbe bouse, wbOe Ten Broek's c holer conUnued to rise, tike the mercury climbing a ther mometer. One evening it was pest a o'clock and every Dutchman was In bod tbe angry fattier went Into tbe kitchen, wbore tbe lovers were silting band In band wltiiin the spsx-ious fire place, and exploded his wrath in the taac ot the suitor. Wee ter arose and backed out through an open door that led Into tbo dyeing room, Ten Broek following and shakiug bis list in tbe youth's fnce. Since Wouter was mov ing In a contrary direction to his line of vision, he could sec nothing behind blm. Suddenly his heels caught upon a vat aud be weut beckward Into the dye. When he emerged not only his csMbes, but every square Inch of his body, was as red aa the Indians from whom tbe Island of Manna-hatta had been mrrchaeod. Ten Uroek surveyed him, shruffiind his shoulders, with an "TJgbl" and, turning bis back, left blm. The newly dyed man ran home and, etandlng under the pump, received enough water to wash off the lye bad ft not beaaatef the beat and clung to klm llkwaiskln. Tlie poor way arose the next morn lug to survey himself In a gloss and see tbat be was hojielcnaly crimson. He went to a chemist and begged him to try to do something to remove his color. Tbe chemist girve blm a beb In which were certain drugs; but alas, whan tbe listher emerged bis crimson skin had turned violet Wouter went borne In despair. There be found a note from Anneke appoint ing a meeting on the bank of the II nd son river for that very evening. Weo ter would gladly have stayed away, bat feared bia future happiness might de pend upon the meeting. Tbe hour was tuetef ter sunset Anneke was waiting.
