What reading level is The Wire Devils book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He could not run three miles imder half an hour, and that would be fast over rail- road ties I How long would it be before the train crew of the stalled Mail got back to Burke's Siding and managed somehow, in spite of the cut wires, to give the alarm — or how long before the dispatcher at Selkirk, with the Fast Mail reported "out" at Burke's Siding and no "O. S." from Bradley, would smell a rat? It would take time after that, of course, before anything could be done ; but, at best, the mar- gin... left for him was desperately narrow.
He ran on and on ; his eyes, grown accustomed to the darkness, enabling him to pick out the ties with a fair degree of accuracy. There was not a sound save that of his own footsteps. He stopped for breath again and again; and again and again ran on at top speed. It seemed as though he had run, Digitized by Google 148 THE WIRE DEVILS not three miles, but six, when finally, far ahead, he caught a glow of light. The Butcher and his con- federates had evidently not taken the trouble to close the side door of the car I Instinctively, the Hawk, in caution, slowed his pace — :and the next instant, smiling pityingly at him- self for the act, ran on the faster.
