JlJ- Mwddenly the storm lifted for a

%r "They’ve started the fight! I'm

He knew what she meant and

F For an instant Mrdaine Robinett*
si looked at him with frankly question
^ ing eyes, eyes which told that «
** question was arising as to his guilt
•jftn at least on - of the things which
•} C ircumstances had arrayed against
^Jiim. But suddenly she was speak
•.*3i'g. as though to divert her thought.
“We ll have about three hours. It's

•. ; Houston stepped before her. A
smoment later they were edging their
if fway down the declivity of what once
4iad been a railroad track,
c j Black dots they became—dots
£ {which appeared late In the after
i ^oon to the laboring crews of the
Jfrnow-flghters far below; dots edg
*jing their wav about beetling preci
* j ices, plunging forward, then stop
•'hiliig: pulling themselves out of th«
* heavier drifts, where drops of ten
1 land even twenty feet had thrown I
* I hem. Once, at the edge of an over
/* (hanging ledge, he scrambled furl- i
* cusly, failed and fell—to drop In aj
2 iJrift far below, to crawl painfully f
-. -back to the waiting dot above.
* Hours! The dots grew larger. On
•»»hey came, stumbling, reeling. The
•• woman wavered and fell, h caught

1 tme on. his blood-red eyes search
* ring almost sightlessly the faces of
1 the waiting, stolid, grease-smeared
a men. his thick voice drooling over
' jloody lips:
* “Somebody take her—get her into
■ the bunk cars. She’s given out.
rvj’m—I’m all right. Take care of
* her. I've got to go on—to TolliferJ"
CHAPTER XIX.
* It was night w’hen Barry Houston
2 '’imped, muscles cramped and frost
l numbed, into the little undertaking
J shop at Tolllfer and deposited his
* tiny burden. Medaine Robinette
* aad remained behind in the care of |
* ihe snow crews.
t “Nameless,” he said with an >rt,
« when the lengthy details of curiiuca
■ tion were asked. “The mother—’’
. and a necessary lie came to his lips— t
» ^bec'afrfM unconscious before she 1
0 tould tell me anything except that I
- the baby had been baptized. She
J wanted a priest.”
«. From far away came the w'histles
* Df locomotives answering the sig
. nals of the snow-plows ahead. He
* remembered the bulky cars of ma
! chinery at Tollifer. It was partially
* his battle they were fighting out
' there. He fumbled aimlessly in his
pockets for his gloves. Something
tinkled on the floor and he bent to
r" pick up the little crucifix with its
> twisted, tangled chain, forgotten at
Tolllfer. Dully, hazily, he stared at
. .t with his red eyes, with the faint
feeling of duty neglected. Then; |
t “She only said they might want
* Lr,” he mumbled. “I'm sorry—1
* should have remembered. I'm al
ways failing—at something.”
Then, anxious to take his place in
’ Die fighting line, he replaced the
. tiny bit of gold in his pocket and
threaded his way through the cir
cuitous tunnel of snow.

rusted Ice of the rails, came grudg
;• Jngly back so that the crews might
break the ice from the rails and
jtlve traction for another assault,
.jlouston started forward, only to
Jtop. A figure in the dim light of
»ne cook car had caught his eye.
- Jledaine Robinette.

- yest country only would tell! Jf she
1 would only keep ttv promise which
• jjhe had given him in her half-de
J; jirium!
v ; Ten minutes later Barry stood be
... side a great Mallet engine, a sleek
: Jrayhound of tile mountains, taking
"iistructions from the superintendent,
v | “Knoiv anything about firin' an
, Engine?"
« "I know enough to shove! roa!—
* jjind I've got a strong pair of shoul

“When you get in them gas

: minute these engines get inside and

- Jvith smoke. That’s what gets you "
■ t Barry climbed to his place on the
•-engine. A whistle sounded, to be
s echoed and reechoed by the answer

i-eady now for a fresh sally into the

against the black sky as firemen

Jf Faster—faster—then the impact, i

g. were W'ithin the snowshed now, the
» auger boring and tearing and snarl
£ Ing like some savage, vengeful thing
- r gainst the solid mass which faced
*e .it. Inch by inch for eight feet it
progressed: then progress ceased,
while the plow ahead shrilled the
• triple signal to back up. The engi

1 hour* passed Sally after sally the
4 snowplow made. Men fell groveling
‘N only to be dragged into the open air

©nco more into the cruelty of the
gght. The hours dragged by Ilk
stricken things. Then—with dawn—

: snow sheds, at last to halt at the
lotkf. curved affair which ahlelded
1 the jutting edge of Mount Taluchen.
The second and third nights wore
a repetition of the first.
Tonight was the last night, the
i either In the struggle or in the !
lives of those who had fought their
way upward to the final barricade
which yet separated them from the
top of the world- the Death Trail.
Smooth and sleek It showed before
Houston in the early moonlight, an
;*■ v Niagara, the enow piled high
above the railroad tracks. Already
th< plows were assembled* This wae
to be the fight of fights* there in the
ii oonlight. A quick shoot and a
lceky one. Otherwise—the men who
vent forward to their engines would
not speak of it. liut there was one
who did.
She was standing beside the cook
car as Houston passed.
• You’lt be with them?”
"on the Heath Trail? I expect to.'
"They talk of it as something ter
rible. Why?”
Houston pointed to the forbidding
wall of snow. His thick, broken lips
I mumbled In the longest speech he
had known in days.
"It’s all granite up there The rut
of the roadbed forms a base for the
remainder of the snow. When we
cut out the foundation—they’re
afraid that the vibration will loosen
the rest and start an avalanche. It
all depends whether it comes before
! or after we've passed through.”
She straightened and looked at
him with clear, frank eyes. "Mr.
.Houston, came quieny, i ve neen i
thinking about something all day. I I
have felt that I haven't been quite I
fair—that a man who has acted as I
you have acted since—since I met |
you this last time—that he deserves
more of a chance than I have given
him. .That—” j
“I’m asking nothing of you. Miss
Robinette.”
“I know. I am asking something
of you. I want to tell you that I
have been hoping that you can some
day furnish me the proof—that you
spoke of once. I—that’s what I
wanted to tell you.” she ended quick
ly and extended her hand. “Goodhy.
I’ll be praying for all of you up
there."
Houston answered only with a
pressure of his hand. He looked ut
her with eyes that spoke what his
tongue could not say, then he went
on—a shambling, dead-tired man.
even on awakening from sleep, but a.
man whose heart was beating w'ith
a new' fervor. She would be pray
ing for all of them up there at the
Trail. And all of them induced him.
At the cab of the engine, he lis
tened to the final instructions of the
cursing, anxious superintendent,
then went to his black work of the
shovel. Higher and higher mounted
the steam on the gauge; theirs was
the first plow, theirs the greatest
task. One by one the final orders
came—crisp, shouted, cursing com
mands. answered in kind. Then the
last query:
“If there’s a damn man of you
who’s a coward, step out! Hear that?
If you're afraid—come on—there’s
no stopping once you start!”
Engine after engine answered, in
jeering, sarcastic tones, the beligei
ent cries of men hiding what pound
ed in their hearts, driving down by
sheer well-power the primitive de- '
sires of self-preservation. Again the
call was repeated. Again it was
answered by men who snarled,
men who c ursed that they might not
pray. And with it:
“A-w-w-w-w—right! Let ’er go!’*
