Half the time hnd elupwod wneti,

"Train on time, air?" he naked.

It came.
"I don't like the look of thl mint

"Singular, lan't it? I don't know!
that I ever aaw anything juat like It

Jumped off the track on which I wa

for it to atop, which it did, but aoiue
300 feet before It reached ua. Seining
my aatcucl, which I had net on the
end of a Ue, I ran up the track to get
board, followed by the man who had
joined me. But before we had covered
a quarter of the distance the train die
appeared a auddouly a if it were j

tared for a few momenta at tbo place
where It had lieeu, then gin need at my .
companion. He waa looking up the
track with the moat terrified exprea-i

"Did you we it?" I aaked.
He didn't bear me. ne was mutter
ing incoherently and acting in other
reepecta like one demented. I tried to
reaeaure htm by tellng nlm that we
both were ao anxloua for the train to
come that we bad created It In our
Imagination- very lame explanation,
by the way but wa unable to qulot
him. Suddenly I aaw him looking out
over tho anow with a new and height
ened terror in hla eye. I followed lta
direction, and there out on tho prairie
waa the train ruuning along aa amootu
ly a if it were a till on tho rati.
So Intenae wa my astonishment, ao
eerie the feeling the phantom train
gave mo, that I forgot my companion
completely till, hearing a groan, I look
ed about and aaw him lying writhing
in the auow. Tbla etartlcd me, and 1
forgot the train In tbo renpoiiHlblllly
of being out on a broad pralrlo with a
mnn who might be In a death atruggte.
There waa little I could do for hlui
except get hla head on my knee and,
taking a flank from my aatchel, pour
a drink of whisky down hla throat.
Whllo he revived, he did not recover
hla bend even twelve minutes later
when tho tralu-the real traln-preeod-
ed by n rattling on tho rails and the
uwinl clatter, ateamed up and at my
Btgnnl atopped besldo us. The couduct
or, ataudlng 011 a platform, aaw mo bo-
Ido tho Bkk mau and, Jumping off, aa
leted me to get him aboard.
A. number of persons were crowding
around the Invalid, gaping at him,
when one of them, a trainman, ex
claimed:
"I'll bet that's Dan Uorgnn!"
"Who's Dan H organ?" I asked.
"One of the men who threw the
train off the track two weeks ago, kill
ing the engineer, fireman aud several
passengers. Then they robbed the
express car. One of tho gang is In
Jail, baa turned state's evidence and
named Horgan as their leader."
"But why do you suspect this man
t be Horgan T"
'The informer has described him as
having sandy hair and a red beard.
Besides, he says that Horgan'a right
arm was shattered by a shot from the
conductor. We've bad the description
on this train ever since it was circulat
ed by the company ten days ago."
The invalid bad not regalued his
head when we reached the next town,
where the sheriff, advised by telegraph,
entered the train and took him Into
custody. He did not know that he
had. been betrayed by his fright at
the phantom train, which 'he doubt
less supposed was the one he bad
wrecked coming back to haunt him.
Had it not been for this he could easi
ly have concealed his identity for the
short distance be bad intended to risk
a ride.
I learned that the phantom train was
due to the mirage not uncommon In
Manitoba. When I saw it first stop it
was at a station some eight or nine
miles away. When I saw it a second
time careering over the prairie It was
coming from that station.
The man who's guilty conscience
was moved by the steaming appari
tion to give himself away turned out
to be Indeed the leader of the band
that bad wrecked the train and thus
committed murder.
