The two young busk leg obeyed tbo
order prompt ly. In half n minute
the dry slab stuff that the bunks were
Imiii nf was ablaze and the om J
herded us to the door, and n minute
or bo Inter we were all climbing into I
the cab of the watting engine
We had to run so sto I) dow n the
old track to the "V" that there was
plenty of chance for the boas to talk,
if he had wanted t". But apparent!)
he didn't want to, He sat on the i
fireman's seat, with an arm bu k of
me to held me on, Just as Klrgan tnel
sal mi the way up, and never opened
1mm head except once to ask roe lm t
was the matter with my ivrapped-up
hand. When I told hlra, he made no
comment, and didn't speak again until
we had stopped on the leg of the "Y"
to let Klrgan and his three I i 1 1 1
put the borrowed rolls back Into place
"You aaj It's Friday," he began ah-1
ruptly. "What's l n going on since
Monday night, Jltnmle?"
1 boiled it dow n for him Into Jusl
ns few words as possible; about the
letter he had left for Mr Van Brltl
how everybody though! he had re j
signed, how Mrs Sheila and the major
were two of the few who weren'i will
Ing to believe It. how Mr. I 'hodw I li ,
had been 1 1 1 of reach, how the rail
road outfit was flopping around like n !
chicken with Its head i hopped off, i
how Presldi nt I unton had appointed i
n new general manager who was es 1
peeled now on any train, how Gorcher
had discovered the lost 1018 on the !
old disused gravel-pll track a mile be
low us, and, to wind up wiih. I slipped j
him Mr. Chadwick's telegram w hlcli
tiad come .hist as I was finishing mj
supper In the Bullnrd grill-room, nntl !
thoie two others that had come "u
the knock-out night, and w hh ii had I
beefi In my pocket ever lnce,
He heard me through without soy-1
ing a word, ond when ! gave him the
telegrams he read them by the light
of ile gauge lamp also without say
lag anything. But when tb men hud
tne "Y" rails replaced he took hold
of things again with :i Jerk.
"Klrgan, you'll want to see to get
ting that dead engine out of the gravel
pit yourself. Take one nf the firemen !
and go to It. It's n short mile and
you fan w'alk In. Mtiimle and I want !
to get back to Portal City In a hurry,
and Gorcher will take us,'' And then
to Gorcher: "We'll run to Banta ahead

While lie as iii the Bantu wire office,
getting orders for I'ortal City, Mr. Sor
cross took the lime-card out of its
cage in the enh and fell to studying
Ir by the light of the gauge lamp.
Gorcher came back pretty soon with
his clearance, which gaw him 'ihe
right to run to Arroyo as Brsl section j
of Number Eighteen.
The boss blew up like a Roman !
fandie when he saw that train order.
It meant that we were to take the
siding at AtToyo With the freight Hint .

there, all right.
