W.J WARING And Swanson, who did not under- stand exactly what McQuirk was driving at, did know for a certainty that he was fired, and that there was no help for it, and that there would be no use of his hanging around in the hope of getting taken back again, went into the bunk-house and crammed his few belongings into the little gray cloth bag that he had brought from Sweden with him. Also, he got the few dollars coming to him for the time since last pay-day, and bidding the section-boss’ wife good-by, while great tears stood in An® I'm sofry to' dynamite blow itself up on the track, and so get even. He had the charity to believe that they did mnot Lnk of the possible Suddenly his imagination fllled with A passenger train smashed all to bits, the smell of -dynamite and fire, and of burning , wood and burning fiesh! ! his eyes, trudged away up the track, bent on reaching the siding 14 miles up the grade, from which the Red Horse mine got its supplies of grub and powder. Up there Swanson reasoned that he might find work, for he had been tn the mines back in the old country, and would be a miner yet only that he had grown afraid of dynamite after the missed hole went c¢i and killed his brother at his side. It was noon when he reached the Red Horse. Through a friendly fellow countryman who was on the night- shift he learned that there was no work to be had; every place was full, and the mine would not run much longer unless powder came. Swanson shivered at the mention of the stuff, They talked of the Northland—the home country—and the heart of Swanson melted within him and home- sickness so filled him that tears came into his eyes and sobs gripped Mm by the throat. After the pang of homesickness had left him he still sat there. For in & little time, now, the east-bound freight would be along, and perhaps he would see the good-natured brake- man who always threw coal at him playfully as the train passed the sec-- tion-gang. - After the freight had passed it east-bound express, drawn by two powerful locomotives, would come snorting up the heavy grade. In due time the freight announced itself and came dragging up the steep ascent. There were no ore-cars in. the train, and Swanson wondered why it was that a brakeman got off the end and ran forward to open the switch ahead of the engine. This soon be- came apparent to him. For as soon as the switch was opened there came- Dead people everywhere along the right of way! He struck his fallen foe a sharp blow across the head with the sledge, and with an awful seuse of fear and horror he caught the side ladder of the passing car, and with the sledge still in his hand, swung himself aboard. He hurriedly clambered up and sticking the sledge under the foot- deck tried to set the brakes as he had 80 often seen the brakeman do. The wheel spun around easily, but it seemed to have nothing at the bot- tom of it. The car was now bumping merrily along, -like an irresponsible calf broken from its yard He ran back to the rear end, and stopped there irresolutely. Swanson'’s first impulse was to leap from the car, but the ground below was flying back very fast now. He saw that he had done a very foolish thing in getting aboard He looked down at the flying earth beneath and at the ragged blur of rock and cacti rushing by. To leap meant certain death! To ride on meant death in the explosion that must eome when the flying car should dash against the engine! As his eye roved down the nylng' track and back to the car again the glint of the sun on the face of the drillhammer arrested his attention. | He looked at it. It was an onmmyi eight-pound sledge, and a plan like ! an inspiration came to him—a plan not to save his own life, for he looked upon that as lost, but to save the train below him, He hurried to the forward end and peered over. Like a narrow ledge, barely as wide as the sole of his heavy shoe, hung ths forward brake-beam, and down to. that led the iron rod of the brake-staff.. He looked only for & moment, nodded his head confident- ly, and reaching back for the sledge, gripped it firmly and slid down the rod. His feet touched the swaying brake-beam, and he exulted in the cun- ning of his plan. The wind whistled in his ears and drove his long yellow bhair into his eyes. The jolting jerks seemed al- ways about to throw him off. He walited, for it needed a curve to make his plan effective. Svddenly his eye caught the coveted curve barely ..hun- dred yards away. Just at the middle of the turn he thrust the maul-head down on the fly- ing rail just forward of the wheel. There was a sudden, tremendous jerk; he had a feeling of being thrown a mile, and that was all! Afterward, when the crew-of the ex- press came up to find out whether it was an earthquake or a volcano that had broken loose and disarranged the landscape, they found him lying in the pop of an airpipe uncoupled and the middle of the right of - way, the hissing of air and grinding: of thrown there: By a strange trick of brakes. Then the engine ran in on: the fate, while the box car, with its dead- ly cargo, had been hurled clear into switch, dragging elght cars. Halt- | the canyon helow. way up the siding they stopped. The brakeman ran past him and chocked the trucks of the last car with. howl- ders, and then, climbing up, set the hand-brakes. switch and locked it. the Swede. Swanson suddenly heard the sound of iron striking iron, like the. ring of the spike and hits the ralli. He tumed around, and there within ten feet of him, right by the switeh, with the broken lockplate twisted around, and with a drilder’s sledge ia his left hand, a squat and evillooking Italiam alows a spikeemaul when it misses After that there were. more sounds of uncoupling, and: then. the engine pulled out, leaving the last car.
