Pictures, Inc. SYNOPSIS Three tramps have scrambled up the framework of a railroad trestle in Granite Gogre to escape a landslide, when the Limited approaches. Two start to descend, but the third, a young man, stands in the center of the track and, using his coat as a $29, signals frantically in the glare of the light- ning flashes and the locomotive head- light. The train stops within a few feet of a boulder which has fallen on the track. The engine grazed the tramp as it drew in, leaving him daz- ed and bruised. p CHAPTER II—Continued “Morse, where’s the fellow who saved us? I want to thank him!" The engineer, with the indulgence of grey and grizzled hair and thirty years of fatherhood, smiled in kind- ly understanding upon the speaker. “Oh, hulle, “Fowler—say, * for what’s waitin’ you in Crater City T guess you would want to thank him! Reckon you've got more rea- son than any of us for wanting to get to Crater City alive to-night.” Then, in disappointment, after a swift look around. . “Hell, he's lit out. Gee, I thought he didn’t look like no ordinary bum, and this proves it, or he'd be hangin’ around for a handout. Look! There he goes no past the sleepers. Hey Whether or not the storm pre- vented Bob from hearing, at any rate he gave no sign that he had heard, but with his hands in pockets and shoulders hunched continued indifferently on his way. Jim Fowl- er, the young mail clerk who, more than any other, had reasons for Bob halted and stared inquisitive: ly at Fowler. wanting to reach Crater City soon and in safety, darted after Bob, de- termined that he should not run away from the gratitude of at least one of those whom he had bene- facted. VF ; “What the hell do you want’ Why don't you let me alone?” Bob asked sullenly when overtaken. Unrebuffed, Jim Fowler extended a friendly hand. “I want to thank you, Mister, for saving my life upon the night of all nights in my life when I am most needed at home— Bob shrugged and did not even extend his hand. Curiosity as to why he had played so. important, a part in this young mail clerk's life did not rouse a spark of interest in him, for to this tramp the little everyday affairs of the world see ed unrealistically far away, remote and long ag For him, now, the only sta real things were the rain, the depressing chill, his aching head, and his di to be alone. He felt sheepish rather than pleased because he had saved members of this human society which he hated asa whole.

He was not a handout bum yet, thougis this state was per- haps not far distant, since every other quality of his old status seem- ed to have gone. t2 But Jim did not do the expected; perhaps because his eyes, breaking lances with Bob’s on a physical lev- cl in a joust of essentially sound and honest and manly young per- sonalities, read the alert defensive- ness in them. He did not extend his hand again, nor there any trace of coaxing in his voice as he said: By ne To ag “Morse brought the Limited up so smartly when he saw you that mail bags flew around like bricks at an Irish brakemen’s pienic. It took me five minutes to dig out. It's a hell of a mess. that I haye to straighten out before we get .to Crater City, and I’m all alone ex- cept for the marine guard, apd he’s a useless dumb-bell. Say, I'd appre- ciate it if you'd come along and ye me a hand!” I don't mind,” said Bob. “My name's Fowler—Jim Fowl- er,” the clerk informed him, “and this is my ear,” peinting to the first of three mail coaches. A stocky marine with an alert rifle was sil- houetted in the half-open door—a reluctant bodily martyr to regula- tions while curiosity towed his spir- it to the engine's nose. , “My name’s Bob—Bob—Wilson, replied the young tramp, meeting for the first time the need of invent- ing a surname, The two picked their way silently along the trackside toward the tres- tle to ascertain how long the delay would last. Male passengers re- turaing, with an important sense of being adventurous souls, to bear first hand tidings to their affrighted females as to what had happened— and how long we'll be—and where are we—and was anybody hurt— looked upon Bob as he passed with the supercilious gratitude of the well-fed. Some patronized him with a ‘shoulder pat; others called out words of approbition. Bob shrank from the slaps, and with moody tolerance ignored the praise. The train crew had crowbarred the boulder off the trestle to eter- nal oblivion on the bed of the tor- rent below, and were now engaged in inspecting the tracks. The big stone seemed to havo struck the fitrest!s squarely in the center, be- twern the rails, which were undam- [aged except for minor dents; one tie twas squashed into wood pulp, and several others were immoderately splintered. Still, it was safe to pro- ceed cautiously, the conductor and the engineer decided. Spike and Potts had drawn dis- creetly into the background, out of the circle of action where they might have been invited to help remove the boulder; but, catching sight of Bob simultaneously with observing that the bulk of work Was now over, they came close again. The conductor cocked an ex- pertly calculating eye at his watch, ordered the trainmen back to their posts, and with Morse, the engineer, then approached Jim and the tramps. “I've invited this man to ride to Crater City in my car, Smogs,” said Jim to the conductor; then, with hesitation, “and the other bu—his friends, I mean—can come too, I guess.” The beefy conductor stared at Bob importantly. “It was a cour- cous thing for a fellow like you do, and of course we'réall grate- It was my intention to suggest t you could ride in with us. The passengers have signified their pur- pose of taking up a purse, which will be presented to you when-we arrive in Crater City. We hope you will put the money to some useful purpose,” he concluded virtuously, “that might redeem you from your —err-r—present mode of life!” Some repressed emotion agitated the corners of Bob's mouth, as he heroically overcame an impulse to punch the conductor's nose. He turned his back abruptly upon the conductor, who, much put out, roll- ed his eyes expressively at Morse to bear witness to such ingratitude. But the engineer merely grinned and hopped nimbly up to his cab, where he confided to his fireman a profane opinion that Smogs, the conductor, was undoubtedly a fat- head. - A minute later the Limited was sliding prudently across the bruised trestle. 1 (To be continued) to be wanted for murder in addition to automobile theft operations.
