Some great scientists have had the indelioaoy to go prying into tbe ques¬ tion of tbe age of the enrth. A few weeks ago we told what one rnnolusion was in this regard, LorJt Kelvin, the great Scotch astronomer ami mathe¬ matician, in an address in London, laid he was able to declare with coiifl- denoe that the earth solidiUed between 20,000.000 and 30,000,000 years ago. The latest estimate of the time re¬ quired for the formation of all strata since the beginning of the Cambrian rooks is 17,000,000 years. Lord Kel¬ vin asserted that the earth conld not have been habitable more than 30,- 000,000 years at the most.

ANE  CREEK   was a
railroad crossing ou the S. and C. C. Knil- riiad abont two miles from the division ter¬ minal at Meroer. It was in the iniilst of a sornliby piue forest, with a sandy rnail crooking nut from the trees on one side and iuto the trees .'in the other. There were only two or three houses, a little general store with a jiiirch like tlie visor of a military cap, and n si'linollioiise, all arranged in a Hcra;<i!y row alnng the railroad track. The dusty red depot was an lasis in the midst of a cinder desert, with a great many telegraph wires singing overhead.
A dozen trains whirled through Kane Creek every day with only a shriek of greeting and a whipping wake of tine sand. Only two of them paid tbe slightest attention to the girl in a liliie gingham dress who stood in the little observolion window. One of them was the way freight whioh stoppeil at Kane's every time it came iilnng while the conductor handed the girl tt bundle of yellow papers and re¬ ceived another liiie il in return. The other was the night express westward bound from 81. Paul, and running at forty miles au hour. It was a splen¬ did train—tea cars, with the finest en¬ gine ou the road, big No. 606. As its glaring eye flashed aronnd the bend in the direction of Mercer the girl in the gingham dress often thought of the groat train as a powerful and ferocious beast snorting and roaring westward on a race with the sun. It was a beast, but it was well trained, aud she knew the hand that trained it. When the train was a mile away there were always Iwo blasts ou the whistle. Everyone else in Kane's thought they meant simply, "Wake up, liMik out!" —for that is what all lixMimotives say at every crossing—but the girl in the gingham dross heard "Hello, Tolly," and darted out ou tlie platform and waved her handkerchief. As the great train thundered nearer a hand waa thrust from the engineer's window, and although it was usually dark, she could see Ihe flutter of something white, and oftentimes as the engine darted past Ihe stalion she heard the blurred sound of a voice and caught tho glimpse of a grimy face and a blue jean jacket. And then she went back to her place in the little station with a sigh of deep contentment.
For it wus a moment of great joy to Polly Marshall wheu her father's en¬ gine went through. Polly was the station agent at Kane Creek—any one could have tnlil that a wniiian presided in the little depnt, for was there not always a bouquet in the window and dainty pictures surrounding tlie grimy time-tables on the walls, aud a kitten curling upon the door-step? At seven¬ teen Polly had gone in asassistant to learn U'legraphy and when Clark, the agent, was called to Meroer the com¬ pany had left Ihe indopendeul girl in charge. She and her father lived in one of the wooden houses a stone's throw baok from the depnt, and since Polly's mntlier died they had been everything to each other
Engineer Marshall was a big, silent man, and his cninpanioiiH, snme of them, thought him grulf and ill temp¬ ered, but to Polly he was always len¬ der us a kitten. (Iften when she was a little girl he look her down wilh hini to Mercer on his engine, and while she sat on his black leather seat at the cab window, clinging ou with both hands, he explained to her how Ihe big black creature iindor Ihem was started and slopped, what thi.s brass crank was for, and how, when the engine siiueake.l hero or Hiiuealcd there, a little oil was needed in this ouii or in that crevice. And Polly had learned to know an en¬ gine as w ell as she knew the neat little punlry in the hnnse al home. Indeed, she had more than mice managed the levers and the thrnllle, altlinngh it was very heavy work for a gir! to do.
It was ono night late in the fall that Polly Marshall had need nf all her kiiowledte of engines. She was sit¬ ting at her desk in the liltle observa¬ tion window, a shaded light throwing its rays down nn her telegraph instrii- nieiils and the Hininder clicking sleep iiy. Suddenly she was Hlurtle.l by the Biiilileii cull llf her number. Instantly i her lingers snught the keys, ami she gave the answer that signilied that she I was all atletition. !

dered past llie statiun, but she could see its lieadltght a hnndred yards or more away.    The train had stopped.
With a hundred terrifying qiicHtions flashing through her mind Polly ran on tlirouf^ the glnnm. When she wa? alinoHt within range of the big head¬ light she saw a half-dozen armed men swarming aronnd the engine, she heard lieice oaths, and then the en¬ gine started up agnin. She .saw in an instant that it hud been cut free from the train. In the cub wimlmv, where her father usually stood, there was a big, unfamiliar figure, managing the lever and throttle. Terrilied, Polly sprang to oue side into u clump ol bushes. As the locomotive passed her on its way up the track she saw thst the man in the cab wore a black mask on bis face, and then she knew what had happened. She understoml why Pinckney had tried to warn het and theu failed. Robbers had held up the train and were preparing to rol; the express car.
For a monient Polly was torn with doubt and terror. Had Ihey shot her father? She knew that he never would submit to have his trnin cnji- tured without a struggle. Should sho go to him? Then she renieiulicrod lnjr station and tho telegraph, and without a moment's delay she was flying down tbe track toward the depot. She would send for help to Mercer. But squarely in front of the little depot the locomo¬ tive stopped and the black-masked man sprung from the cab window and darted across the platform. Hardly thinking what she was doing, Polly ran up on the other side, the fireman's side of the engine, and, rnisiug herself up, peered into the cab. She hud half expected to sec her father's ilend body lying ou the floor, fnr she had licard much aliout the terrible doings of train-robbers.
Throngh tho cab window she could see the robber sitting at her own liltle desk in the depot sending a message." It'flasheil overherall at once thot he was wiring Mercer that the expross was delayed, thus preventing any alarm. The robber had pushed up his mask and she saw him jilainly.
What should she do? She dared not enter the office, and she, n mere girl, could be of no service where the robbers were making their attack on the traiu. If ouly she had the little revolver that lay in the drawer of her desk—she set her teeth as she thought what she would do with it.
At that moment threo shots rang out, clear and distinct, from tho de- ttti'hed train. The man at the tele¬ graph inslriimeut sprung to his feet and ran tn u side window in the wait¬ ing-room and looked up the track.
Now was heriTiancc. Hardly think¬ ing what she di.l, Pnlly sprung lo tho engineer's side of the cab, threw bnck tho reverse lever and opened the throttle steadily. 'The big steel wheels began to turn, very slowly at ilrst. Farther and further llie throttle opened and faster and faster turned tho wheels, and yet they did not go half fast enough lo suit Polly, who was now glancing fearfully over her shoulder.
Suddenly the depol door was thrown open and she saw the roliber darting up the track. He had his pistol in his haid. He was |iiiinting it at her ond shouting for ber In stnp Bnl tho engine was now gniiig at good speed, and, ruu us he would, iho robber could not catch it. Bnt he stopped and tired, the bullet rifipiug through the csb cover above Polly's heod.
The engine was now tearing down Ihe track at full speed. Polly kuew that it uinst be flred or it would uot go fur. Olid so, leaving Iho throttle op^iii slie sprang to the coul pit, flniig open the flre hole, un.l with tho hcuvy shovel in her small white hands threw in hiad after load nf ooal. When she relurned to her place she could see the first sigual light of Mercer already blinking into view. She pulled down nn the whistle cord and the engine shrieked its distress.
Five minutes latei' I'nily strained al the heavy reverse lever, turned liurd ou Ihe uir-linike and brnuglit tho great iron horse to a sudden staml still. How she ever managed to stsiunier the stury she never knew, but in a few minutes tlio engine was headed back with half a dozen urnied men ulmard nf her. Hehinil them came anntlier Inad of men nn n switch euirine and twn men were racing up the street nf Meroer callinir the alarm.
Thoy hiard firing liefore they reached Kane Creek, but it ceased SIKIU afterwunl. The robbers hod gnnc. riioy had taken with them niiii'li plunder from the passengers, but Ihey had nnt been able to get into the express safe, altlmugli they were at work drilling it npen when r.liof come.   I
