No. 7, due at 6:411, had Just pulled out with twenty minute to make up between Antioch and Harrison, the western terajiaus of the Hue. The 6 o'clock whistle bad blown, and the men from i the car ahoiw, a dingy, one story build- - j lug that Joined the general office on ' tha east, were straggling off home. Across the tracks at the ugly little depot the ticket agent and telegraph operator had locked up aud hurried aw ay under one umbrella the moment No. T was clear of the platform. From the yards every one was gone but Milton j McClIntock, the master mechanic, and Dutch Pete, the yard bos. Protected by dripping yellow oilskins, they were buey repairing a wheexy switch engine that had been Incontinently backed into a siding-an- d the cabooee of a freight. Oakley waa waiting the return of Clarence, the office buy, whom he had aent uptown to tbe poatoffice. Having read the two column of local and personal gossip arranged under tbe heading People Tou Know, he swept hie newspaimr into the wasteliaaket aud pushed back bis chair. The window nearest his desk overlooked tbe yards aud a long Hue of shabby day coaches and battered freight cars on one of the aidinga. They were there to be rebuilt or repaired. This meant a new lease of life to the shops, which had never proved profitable. Oakley had been with the Huckleberry two months. Tbe first Intimation the office force received that the new man whom they had been expecting for over a week bad arrived la Antioch and was prepared to take hold was when bo walked Into the office and quietly Introduced himself to Kerr and Holt Former general managers bad arrived by special after much preliminary .wiring. .The manner of their going had been leas spectacular. They one and all failed, and General Cornish cut short the day of their pride i anddieplay. Najuraliy the office bad Iwen the least bit skeptical concerning Oakley and hii capabilities, but within a week a change waa patent to every one connected with the road. Tbe trains began to regard their schedules, and the slackness and unthrift in the yards gave place to an ordered prosperity. Without any apparent effort he found work for the ahopa, a few extra men even were taken on, and there waa no bint as yet of half time for the summer months. He was a broad shouldered, long limbed, energetic young fellow, with frank blue eyes that looked one square-J- y In tbe face. Men liked him because he waa straightforward, alert and able, with an Indefinite personal charm that lifted him out of the ordinary. These were the qualities Cornish bad recognized when he put him In control of bis Interests at Antioch, and Oakley, who enjoyed hard work, had earned hla salary several times over and was really doing wonders. - He put down hie pipe, which was smoked oat, and glanced at the clock. What's the matter with that hoy 7 be muttered. Tbe matter waa that Clarence had concluded to take a brief vacation. After leaving the postofllce he skirted a vacant lot and retired behind his father's red barn, where he applied himself diligently to a cigarette. When the cigarette was finished the urchin bethought him of the purpose of hie errand. This so worked upon ble fears that be bolted for tbe office with all the speed of bis short legs. As be ran be promised himself emotionally that the boss was likely to ekin him. Bnt whatever hla fears he dashed into Oakley's presence panting and In hot haste. Just two letters for you. Mr. Oakley be gasped. That was all there was!" II went over to the superintendent and handed him the letter. ' Oakley observed him critically and with a dry smile.

The other clipping, merely a paragraph, was of more recent date. It announced that Huger Oakley had beeu pardoned. Oakley had scarcely thought of his father lu years. The man aud bia concerns hit crime and hie tragic atonement had passed completely out of his life, but now he was free. If he chose, to enter it again. There waa such in tha thought that he turned slok on the moment; a greet wave of self pity enveloped him, tbe recollection of his struggles and hla shame the bitter, helpless shame of a He felt only resentment toward this man whose crime bad blasted his youth, robbing him of every child-retur- ned. ordinary advantage, and clearly tiie end waa not yet True, by degrees, he had grown way from the memory of It all.

For yean it had been like n dream, end now he saw only the slouching figure of the old convict which seemed to menace him, and remembered only the evil consequent upon his crime. Next be fell to wondering what sort of n man this Huger Oakley was who had seemed bo curiously remote, who had Uen as n shadow In his way preceding the presence, and suddenly he found hla heart softening toward him. It was Infinitely pathetic to the young man, with hla abundant strength and splendid energy, this Imprisonment that had endured for almost a quarter of n century. He funded hie father aa broken and friendless, ns daxed and confused by ble unexpected freedom, with hie place lu the world forever lost After all, be could not alt In Judgment or avenge.
