XII?Continued.
"What's the matter with Olson?" he demanded.
"Has lie forgotten how to run
since he left the Plug Mountain? Climb
up over the coal and tell him that forty
miles an hour won't do for me tonight."
The flagman picked up his lantern and
went forward, and in a minute or two
later the index finger of the speed recorder
began to mount slowly toward the
fifties. At fifty-two miles to the hour.
Ford, sitting in the observation end of the
car. where he could see the ghostly lines
of thp rails reeling backward into the
night, smelled smoke?the unmistakable
odor of burning oil. In three strides he
had reached the rear platform, and a
fourth to the right-hand railing showed
him one of the car boxes blazing to
heaven.
He pulled the cord of the air .whistle,
and after the stop stood by in sour silence
while the crew repacked the hot box.
Since he had made the car inspectors
carefully overhaul the truck gear in the
j Denver station there was no one to swear
| at. Olson bossed the job. did it neatly
I and in silence, and no one said anything
| when the fireman, in his haste to be useful.
upset the dope kettle and got its
contents well sanded before he had over
takeiv, It in its rolling flight clown the
embankment.
Ford turned away and climbed into his
car at the dope-kettle incident. There
are times when retreat is the only recipe
for self-restraint; and in imagination he
could see the general manager's special
ticking off the miles 10 the eastward
while his own men were sweating over
the thrice-accursed journal bearing under
the "ill."
Now. as every one knows, hot boxes,
besides being perversely incurable, are
the sworn enemies of high speed. At
forty miles to the hour the journal was
smoking again. At forttf-flve it burst into
flames. Once more it was patiently cooled
by bucketings of water drawn from the
engine tank, after which necessary preliminary
Olson spoke his mind.
"Ay tank ve never get someveres vit
dat hal-fer-damn brass. \Ieester Ford.
Ay yust see if Ay eaVt find 'noder wone."
And he rummaged in the car lockers till
he did find another.
Unfortunately, however, the spare hrass
proved to be of the wrong pattern?a
Pullman, instead of a P. S.W. standard.
Olson was a trained mechanic and a man
of resources, and he chipped and tiled
and scraped at the misfit brass until lie
made it serve. But when he climbed
again to the cab of his engine, and Ford
swung up to the steps of the car. the
white headlight eye of an east-bound
freight, left at a siding a full hour's run
to the rear, came in sight from the observation
platform of the laboring special.
These were the inauspicious beginnings
of the pursuit, and the middle part and
the ending varied only in degree. All the
way up to midnight, at which hour a
station of a bigness to supply a standard
brass was reached, the tinkered journal
bearing gave trouble and killed speed. Set
once more in running order upon its full
quota of sixteen practicable wheels, the
special had fallen so far behind its Denver-planned
schedule as not only to be in
the way of everything else on the division.
but to find everything else in its
way. Ford held on stubbornly until the
lead of the train he was trying to outrun

gave it up, directing his crew to turn the
trajp on the nearest "Y" and to ask for
retracing orders to Denver. After which
he went to bed In the stateroom of the
borrowed ear, and for the first time in his
experience was a man handsomely beaten
by the perversity of Insensate things.
The request for the retracing orders
was sent from Ooquina. and when it came
clicking into the dispatcher's office at
Denver a sleep-sodden young man with
an extinct cigar between his teeth rose
up out of his chair, stretched, yawned
and pointed for the door.
"Going to leave us, Mr. Eckstein?" said
the trick dispatcher who was sitting at
I the train table.
"Yes. If Mr. Ford has changed his
mind T may as well go home and go to
bed."
"Reckon he forgot something and has
to come back after it?" laughed the operator.
"Maybe." said the private secretary,
and he went out, shutting the door behind
him with the batlike softness and precision
that was his distinguishing characteristic.
The sounders were clicking monotonously
when the trick man turned to the relief
operator whc? was checking Darby's
transfer sheet.
"What do you suppose Eckstein was up
to. sitting here all night. Jim?"
"Give it up." said the relief man. "Ask
me something easy."
j "I'll bet a hen worth fifty dollars I can
guess. He didn't want Mr. Ford to make
time."
The relief man looked up from his
checking.
"Why? He didn't do anything:. He
was asleep more'n Half the time."
"Don't you fool, yourself," said the
other. "He heard every word that rame
in about tHat hot box. And if the hot
box hadn't got in the way. I'll bet a
cockerel worth seventy-five dollars, to go
with that fifty-dollar hen. that lie would
have tangled me up somehow till I had
shuffled a freight train or something in
Mr. Ford's way. He's Mr. North's man.
body and soui; and Mr. Nt>rth doesn't
love Mr. Ford."
"Oh. rats. Billy!" scoffed the relief man.
getting up to fill ids corncob pipe from
the common tobacco bag. "You're always
finding a nigger in the woodpile
when there isn't any. Say. that's 201 asking
for orders from Calotte. Why don't
you come to life and answer 'em?"
Frisbie. breakfasting early at the Brown
Palace on the morning following the night
of hinderings, was more than astonished
when Ford came In and took the unoccupied
seat at the table for two.
"Bet me eat first." said the beaten one.
when Frisbie would have whelmed him
with curious questions; and with the
passing of the cutlets and the coffee lie
told the tale of the hindrances.
"1 guess it was foreordained not to be "
lie admitted, in conclusion. "We tried
mighty hard to bully it through, but the
fates were too many and too busy for
us."
"Tricks?" suggested Frisbie. suspecting
North of covering His flight with special
instructions to delay a possible pursuit.
"Oh. no; nothing of that sort: just the
[ cursed depravity of inanimate things.
Every man concerned worked hard and in
good faith. It was luck. No one of us
happened to have a rabbit's foot In his
pocket."
"You don't believe in luck." laughed
the assistant.
"Don't I? T know I used to say that I
didn't. But after last night I can't be so
sure of it."
"Well, what's the cost to us?" inquired
Frisbie. coming down out of the high
atmosphere of the superstitious to stand
upon the solid earth of railway-building
fact.
"I don't know: possibly failure. There
is no guessing what sort of a scheme
North will cook up when he and MacMorrogh
get Mr. Colhrith cornered."
"Oh. it can't be as bad as that. Take
it at the worst?admitting that we may
have to struggle along with the MacMorroghs
for our general contractors; they
can't addle the eggs entirely, can they?"
Ford tabulated it by length and breadth.
"With the MacMorroghs in the forefront
of things to steal and cheat and
make trouble with the labor, and Mr.
North in the rear to back them up and
to retard matters generally, we are in
for a 'siege to whl(;h purgatory, if we
ever go there, will seem restful. Richard,
my son. Our one weapon is my present
ranking authority over the general manager.
If he ever succeeds in breaking
that, you fellows in the Held would better
hunt you another railroad to build."
"It's a comfort to know that you are
the big boss. Stuart. North can't knock
you out of that when it comes to a showdown."
"I don't know." said Ford, whose night
ride had made him jtessimistic. "I am

Mr. ColbriffT's appointee, you know?not
an elected officer. And what Mr. Colbrith
has done he may be induced to undo.
Adair has been my backer in everything,
but while he is the best fellow in the
world, he is continually warning me that
he may lose interest in the game at any
minute and drop it. He doesn't care a
rap for the money-making part of It?
doesn't have to."
"Wouldn't Adair be a good safety
switch to throw in front of Mr. North
and MacMorrogh in New York?"
Ford nodded. "T thought of that last
night and sent a wire. We'll hear from it
today."
Frishie ate through the remainder of the
breakfast in silence. Afterward, at tlie
pipe lighting, he asked if Ford's wire instructions
of the night before still held
good.
"They do," was the emphatic reply.
"We go on just as if nothing had happened
or was due to happen. You say
your man Orapsey will be in this morning.
Hat her up your laborers and turn
the Plug Mountain into a standard-gauge
railroad while we wait. That's all. Dick;
! all hut one word?hustle."
i "Hustle it is. Rut say. you were going
to give me a pointer on that broad gatigi
ittg I've been stewing over it for a day
! and a night, and T don't think of any
I scheme thai won't stop the traffic."
"Don't you? That is because you
1 haven't mulled over it as long as I have,
i In the first place, you have no curves to
straighten and no crossties to relay?our
predecessors having set the good example
of using standard length ties for their
three-foot road. String your men out in
gangs as far as they 11 go and swing the
three-foot track, as a whole, ten ^nches
I out of center to the left. You can do
that without stopping: trains, can't you?"
"Sure."
"All right. When you swing, spike the
right-hand rail lightly. Then string your
gangs again and set a line of spikes for
the outside of the standard-gauge righthand
rail straight through to Saint's
Rest. Got that?"
"Yes, I guess I've got it all. But go
i on."
"Now vnu are ready for the grandstand
play. Call in all your narrow!
gauge rolling sto^k. mass your men at
I this end of the hraneh. shove the right{
hand rail over to the line of gauge
I spikes in sections as long as your force
| will cover, and follow up with standardgauge
construction train to pick up the
men and carry them forward as fast as
a section is completed. If you work it
systematically, a freight train could leave
Denver two hours behind your track
gangs and find a practical standard gauge
all the way to Saint's Rest."
"Of course!" said Frisbie. in workman:
like disgust for Ids own ohtuseness. "I'm
I going back to the tech when your railroad
is finished and learn a few things.
I couldn't think of anything but the old
Krie railroad scheme, when It was narrowed
down from the six-foot gauge.
They did It In one night, but they had a
man to every second crosstle over the
whole four hundred miles from New
York to Buffalo."
Ford nodded, adding:
"And we're not that rich in labor. By
the way, how are the men coming?"
j "-V carload or two every little while.
Say. Stuart, you must have had a rah
bit's toot witn you wnen you toucneu up
tlie eastern labor agencies. Every other
railroad in the neck of woods Is skinned,
and McOratli Is having the time of his
life trying to hold our levies together.
There is a small army of them under
canvas at Saint's Rest, waiting for the
contractors, and another with between
two and three hundred hands camped at
the mouth of the canyon."
Ford knocked the ashes from his pipe
j so hard that the pipestem fell in two.
j "Yes. all waiting on Mr. Colbrith's
| leisurely motions: Well, jump in on tlie
' Plug Mountain. That will utilize some
of the waste for a few days."
Frlsbie went down to the Plug Mountain
yard ofllee, and to a wire end, to begin
the marshaling of his forces; and Ford,
with three -ptcked-up stenographers to
madden him. took up the broken threads
. of his correspondence with a world which
| seemed to have become suddenly peopled
' to suffocation with eager sellers of railroad
material and supplies.
I*ate in the afternoon, when he was
tired enough to feel the full force of the
blow, a New York telegram came. It
was from Miss Alicia Adair, and Ford
! groaned in spirit when he read it.
| "Brother left here yesterday in the
Vanderdecken yacht for Nova Scotia.
Cannot reach him by telegraph until next
I Friday or Saturday. Aunt Hester wants
to Know if there is anything she can do."
One way to save a man's life at a crisis
is to appeal to his sense of humor. Miss
Alicia's closing sentence did that for
! Ford, and he was smiling grimly when
; lie nut the telegram away, nm in tne
I business file, but in his pocket.
Three days later, however, when Frisbie
was half way to Saint's Rest with his
preliminary track swinging, another New
York telegram found Ford in his newly
established quarters in the Ouaranty
building This was from some one acting
as President Colbrith's secretary, and its
wording was concisely mandatory.
"Contract has been awarded MacMorrogh
Brothers. President directs that you
afford contractors every facility, and that
I you confer with Mr. North in all cases
of doubt."
XIIL
The Barbarians.
It was some little time after the rock
; had begun to fly from the cuttings on the
1 western slopes of the mountains that
' Kenneth, summoned by Ford, made the
i run from Denver to Saint's Rest over the
standardized Plug Mountain branch and
' found the engineer manager living in a
twenty-foot caboose car fltted as a hotel
and an office on wheels.
The occasion of Kenneth's calling was
a right-of-way dispute on the borders of
j the distant Copah mining district; some
! half-dozen mining claims having bepn
staked off across the old S. L. and W.
i survey. The owners, keen to make a
killing out of the railroad company..
i tlireatened injunctions if tiie P. S.W. persisted
in trespassing upon private prop'
erty. and Ford, suspecting shrewdly that
! the mine men were set on by the Transcontinental
people to delay the work on
the new line, made haste to shift his responsibility
to the legal shoulders.
"If T hadn't known you for a pretty
good mountaineer. Kenneth, you would
have missed this." he said, making his
guest free of tlie limited hospitality of
the caboose-hotel. "Are you good for a
two-hundred-and-eightv-mile cayuse ride,
there and back, on the same trail we
tramped over a year ago last spring?"
"I'm good for everything on the bill of
fare." was the heartening reply. "How
are things going?"
Ford's rejoinder began with a noncommittal
shrug. "We're building a railroad.
after a fashion."
"After a good fashion. 1 hope?"
Another shrug.
"We're doing as well as we can with
the help we have. But about this right
of-way tangle " and lie plunged his
guest into a discussion of the Copah
situation which ran on unbroken until
bedtime.
They took the westward trail together
in the morning, mounted upon wiry little
mountain-bred ponies furnished by one
Pacheco. the half-breed Mexican who had
once earned an easy double eagle by spying
upon two men who were out hunting
with an engineer's transit. For seven
weeks Frisble had been pushing things,
and the grade from Saint's Rest to the
summit of the pass was already a practicable
wagon road, deserted by the leveling
squads and ready for the ties and
the steel.
From the summit of the pass westward.
down the mountain and through
the high-lying upper valley of the Pannikin,
the grade work was in full swing.
The horse trail, sometimes a rougji cart
road, but oftener a mere bridle path, followed
the railroad in its looping* and
doublings, and on the mountain sections
