to Mr. I'erklns directing htm to
have arrangements marie for th*
running of a one-car apedal from
Strathcona for the hurry folk*.
Pa»t that, things rocked along
until th* handa of the big standard

pointed to midnight. Mr. Norcross

to smash ua good and plenty. And
whatever else might com* of It. It
waa a cinch that It would sqiieev
th* last little breath of life out of

Aa If to confirm that aort of

then he went on talking to Hotu>

Of course, I read the meostge; 1
knew therw was nothing private
about It ao far aa I waa concerned,
sine* It had been given ma to put

from the Waldorf Astoria at mid

than an hour old when he aent the
telegram, he evidently kn~w all
about It. Thla la what I read:

It had hit ua at taat; not a de
cent request, mind you. but a blunt,
brutal demand. Th* boa* waa fired.
No word had coma from Mr. Chad
wick, and there ooul be but one
reason for hi* atlenca. In feme
way. perhap* thru th* tat* boo*ting
of th* stock, the New Yorkers had
squeezed him out. We wee* abot
dead In th* trenchna.
I didn't understand how th* chief
could take It ao quietly, unlaa* It
waa because he had been hammered
so long and ao hard that nothing
mattered any more Anyhow, ha
was Just standing there, talking
soberly to Oonnh'Jfc. wh»n once
more the fttrathcona branch sound
er began to click furiously, snipping
[out the head<!U.irt*ra catL
Donohue rut in and ws all beard
the HtratJicona mans new blsat.
The way he told It. It seemed that
one member of the party that had
chartered % the special to come to
Portal city had got left, and this
nun was now In the dtrathcona
wire office, bidding high for an en
gins to chase the train and put him
aboard.
At first the boss said "No." short
off. Just like that; adding that It
wouldn't he keeping faith with the
strike committee. But at that mo
ment Hosklns blew In again, and
when he was told what was on the
cards, he took a Utile responsibility
of his own
"Oo to It. Mister Norrroas, If
there's any more money In It f*r
the railroad." he told the bo«». "I'll
stand rr it with the boys." And
then to Donohue: "Who'll be run
nin' this chaser engine?"
"TtH be John Hoga* and the
Four-HlXtrcn." said Donohue "There's
nobodv else at that end of the
branch."
The arrangement, such as tt was.
was fixed up quickly. The man
who was putting up the roon- y
seemed to have plmty of It He
was offering five hundred dollais
for the engine, and a thousand If
It should overtake the special that
side of Bauxite Junction.
I guess the bleat unraveled Itself
pretty clearly for ail of us; or at
least. It seemed plain enough. A
mining deal of some kind was «n.
and this man who was loft behind
was going to be left In another
sense of the word If he couldn't
butt In soon enough to bresk what
ever combination the others were
•tacking up agaln«f him.
In JiKit a few minute* we cot the
word from the Htrathoona operator
that the money wan paid and the
chaser engine wa« out and gone.
The ■pedal train had fully a half
hour'* frtart, and with the hazard
ou* grade* of Slide mountain and
Dry canyon to negotiate, It didn't
seem probable that, the light ennlne
could overtake |t anywhere north
of Bauxite. That wasn't up to u»,
however. Klrgan had come In to
say that our good-natured striker*
hnjf thrown a guard Into the nhopn
and were patrolling the yard, when
Fred May showed up, making slg
rial* to me, I heard him when he
edged up to the bona and raid:
"There'* a lady In the office, want

"Holy Smoke!" *al<l I to myself
I knew If couldn't be anybody but
Mr*. Sheila, at that time of night,
and I saw seventeen different kiridn

when I tagged along after the bona
