FIFTH INSTALLMENT. The Fight at nal Sta The day operator at Signal station could hardly have been more peacefully en- gaged than she was at the moment George Storm threw open the office door and paused on the threshold. “What are you doing over here this morning?” demanded Helen of Storm. “Looking for a job." “You might take mine,” suggested Helen, lifting her eyebrows in a profes- sion of sympathy. “Whereabouts is that man Rhine- lander?’ asked Storm lazily. nasn't he got some kind of a construction camp around this joint?"” “Why, how stupid of me not to have thought of Uncle Amos myself,” ex- claimed Helen. “Of course he has. And he's sure to have a job for you." ‘He is sure,” drawled Storm, “either #5 have a job for me or the best chance he ever had in his life to get licked— I give him his cholce.” “Kind of ‘you,” retorted Helen; ‘“he wouldn't min@ getting ‘licked,’ of course, but he is short of men—I happen to know that.” ‘Maybe I'd better go over and give him a chance to hire me.” “Suppose I go with you. Helen and Storm found Rhinelander hard at work. It was the first time he had seen Storm since the night on the launch and he greeted his visitor with a hearty laugh. *‘Licked? " he echoed, after Helen had repeated her companion’s threats. “Why, George, I could whip my welght in wildcats s morning. I'll have steel half way up the pass if I can get hold of a few cars of ties this week. And something always happens when I fesl this way. T'll tell you right not 2 he pointed a stubby finger at Storm, It’ up to you, young fellow. Bither go to work there, or take a dressing down yourself." H “My hands are up” sald Storm. ‘Tl | 80 to work,” 'What have you got?" | Rhinelander turned to bis foreman. They took only a minute to confer. ““Wood has'e job for you right now,” an- | nounced Rhinelander to Storm. *You are | assistant foreman. Get busy!” That particular day was to prove a busy one for the whole camp. Helen re- turned to the station and Storm went out with Wood—himself a veteran engineman, The mallman came in presently with a letter for Rhinelander, advising him that a bid he had made for a’large quantity of ties had Deen accepted. The first shipment was promised for Thursday. " Rhinelander walled In Wood to hear the news., ‘“Have the flylng gang here to- morrow early, to the last man jack,” rected Rhinelander. “Now that we've got a chance,-let's make a killing." Wood summoned Storm. ‘“Put up the bulletin, Georgle,” directed Wood. At Oceanside the directors of the road were in sessfon. Capelle, representative | of Seagrue, leader of the enemy camp in | the cut-off race, learned from them-that morning of the new construction eredits granted to Rhinelander. ‘In the directors’ room there had been a stormy scene when Capelle denounced the action they had taken. But his ansry est came too late and he was forced to carry his wrath and the bad news out to Seagrue, Storm lost no time in posting the bul- letin. While he wrote it out men gath- i ered sbout and one, in especial, read the announcement with keen, snaky eyes: “Flying gahg will be Signal station at 9 a. m. to unload tie: This one was Spike, Seagrue's spy In the Rhinelander camp. Restless, con- scienceless, teeming with crooked in- stincts, as devoted to mischief as the devil to men, Splke printed the substance of the bulletin on his memory, and turn- ing from the men around him left the scene, By a circuitous route which he pabitually used in sneaking from one camp to the other Spike made his way to Seagrue's hut and reported What he had just read on the bulletin board. Seagrue regarded him with amusement. “There are no more ties coming to Rhine- lander,” he explained, patiently. “His supplies are cut oif.” Before Seagrie could say more there was a knoek at the door and his fore- man, Bill Delaney. appeared with Capelle. Seagrue 108t no time in asking the news and Capeile, with the best face he could summon, to'd him how they had lost out on stopping Rhinelander's credit. Men that had krown Seagrue a long time could never iemember seeing him as an- £ry as he wa\ at that moment. “Why wasn'' the credit stopped,” he demanded furiously, “as you said it was?" Capelle answered bluntly: “Rhineland- er's new credit was granted during my f absence.” 1 No explanation served to alldy Seagrue's rage. He pointed wrathfully at Spike. “Tell him what you saw about tles.” While Capelle, humiliated, listened, Bpike repeated omce more the bulletin eriad regarding Capelle scorn- fully, “the tiés would not have been furnished.” . # Capelle turned sullenly away, refusing to talk further. “I aid the best I could,” was all he would say. Seagrue himself was in no mood to lis- ten to exeuses had there been any more to offer. Paying no more attention to Capelle’s presence he whirled angrily on Spike, Few words were ever needed or exchanged between these two men RY OF MOUNTAIN RAILROAD LIFE FRANK H.SPEARMAN Delaney eyed him contemptuously *Look after your own business, will you? he retorted Again Rhinelander quieted Storm down, Delaney began giving orders to his men, and while Seagrue kept a guarded ey on them, suspicious of some counter- 1—Bedlam Was Tet Loose. 2-=Rapped the Convict Over the Head. ““Those tles"—Seagrue looked significantly at his tool—“must never reach Rhine- lander.” ‘With a great deal of thought and very brief expressions, the two conferred apart. ‘What they worked out no one knew. But @& few moments later Seagrue’ gave Spike 8 liberal gupply. of ‘money and. Spike left the hut. Calling to Capelle, Seagrue re- sumed his abuse. Spike, without delay, hastened to Signal station, bought a ticket from Helen and took the local passenger train for Ocean- side. He had the day and the night be- fore him to figure out schemes to pre- vent the delivery of the tles to Rhine- lander, and by morning he had more than one ready. The easiest one he tried first, and he might have been seen in the morning, early, in the out-freight yards at Ocean- side watching the make-up of the freight train that was to take the four cars of ties to Signal. He kept In the background every moment, but had continually within his eye the preparations to get the train under way. When at length the brake- man entered the caboose to place the waybills on the desk, Spike watched him ¢losely, only taking care to get aWay be- fore he was observed himself. Sneaking up toward the head end he caught sight of the cohductor, and to avold him dodged | in'between two box cars. But the con- ductor had seen him and scenting a knave symmoned a yard . policeman. The two descended on Spike with scant ceremony, The detective dragged him from his hid- ing place, questioned him, warned him, and marching him off shot him out of the yards on & _goose step. But Spike, as strong for resources as a cat for lives, had only begun to work when he was ordered to “beat t.” He did beat it, but to such good purpose that he got down to the bridge ahead of the freight train. ‘When the train drew near, Spike handily boarded the head end. Some moments later the hind end brake- man, sitting on the caboose, saw a tramp in the door of a box car. The brakeman started forward to Investigate and had he been able to see all that occurred just & moment Jater, he would also have seen the tramp clinging to the side of a car of ties removing Rhinelander's name from the billing card and substituting therefor the name of Seagrue. One after another of the billing cards on the four cars of ties Spike manipu- lated in the same way. In the meantime the two brakemen, one of whom had caught a glimpse of him, were consulting as to how to get him. But by the time they had made their plans and were ready for a forcible laying on of hands Hpike's work was done, Watching the ‘| trainmen walk forward, he dropped lightly from the last car and waiting for the caboose, which was empty, swung up by the hand rail and went inside the car. He grabbed the wayblils from the rack box and examined them. Finding those for the cars of tles, he carefully erased Rhinelander's name from each of them and taking his time inserted Seagrue Having done what struck him as an artis- tic job on these, he replaced the bills and climbing into the cupola lopked outside. It was then by good foggune that the conductor &nd one of the two brakemen spotted him. To get back quick they flagged the engineer—the train was going at a pretty good clip—and started for the side. But this suited Splke's own game, for as the train slowed he dropped oft and the crew, thinking themselves well rid of a nuisance, signaled their engine- man ahead. The train was running not far from Beaman when Spike left it, and slinking into the woods adjoining the right-of-way he made his way as fast as he could up to the Beaman telegraph office, where he sent this message to Seagrue: “Changed the two ties you thought Rhinelander wears for two that suit “Say, where is the nearest livery stable in this place, mister?’ Spike asked the agent. He hardly waited to hear the answer given him before he was on his way out of the offi And without losing a min- ute he got a horse where he had been directed for one and rode hastlly away on it. Helen, a few moments took Spike's message to Seagrue. When she handed it to Lyons he said he would de- liver it. Placing the duplicate on file, Helen resumed her crochet work. Passing the Tidewater camp, Lyons ‘saw Rhinelander, Storm and Wood in conference over unloading the expected ties “You don't need me over at the sta- tion,” sald Wood to Rhinelander. “I'll send Storm with the men to look after I'l] stay here with these Seagrue himself took the message from jLvons. He read it with secret satisfac- tion. The moment Lyons had left, Seu- grue called Delaney, his foreman, told {him to get the gang together to unload four cars of ties the instant the local ;frfll‘hl pulled In. He calculated that possession of the ties would be at least the big end of the game in delaying the opposition. But in the interval the Tidewater camp leaders, Rhinelander and Storm, were not losing any tine in looking after the ship- ment themselves, and they appeared to- gether at the station to get track of it. in responsé to Rhinelander's in- said_he did not know what the local freight was carrying. “You find out, will you, Helen?" asked Rhinelander, And as he made the request. he showed her his letter advising him the ties would be on the local. While Rhinelander, Storm, Helen and Lyons were thus engaged, Seagrue and his foreman, Delaney, entered the office. Beagrue seemed at his best, very affable and friendly with everybody, and w soon asking questions to wh ties were coming for him that morning. Helen took his inquiries and Rhinelander, over- | hearing, explained that the ties coming In on the local freight train that morning were for the Tidewater work, not for Seagrue. Seagrue declared him mistaken. A dispute flared up, which in a moment involved practically everybody in the room. Of these, the opposition bosses for |the unloading jobs, Delaney and Storm, became the most heated and seemed about to come to blows. But Rhinelander, checking Storm’s indignation, advised re- straint and referred the whole thing to Helen, asking her to find the real fact out from the dispatcher. Helen sent a hurry-up message and the answer came from the dispatcher's office within a few minutes: | “Local will set out four cars ties at Signal for Rhinelander's construction gang. H CwW" Lyons, without comment, passed the message to Rhinelander, who read it and showed it triumphantly to Seagrue. Sea grue entered an emphatic dissent, “I don’t care what those boobs at Oceanside say,” he snapped. “Those ties ave for me and you'll find out I know what I'm talking about.” Fast words followed, #torm De- laney again eyed each other fiercely. Then the sound of a frelght train pulling in started everybody in the room out for the platform. The moment the train stopped the disputants crowded forward, each side eager to reach the conductor first. The conductor, a man of peace, listened unmoved to the violent conten- tions addressed to him. At length he produced the waybills for the property in dispute. Seagrue got hold of them and examined them first. To his delight he saw that, as expected, they read to him as consignee and he showed them with an Injured air to Lyons. Rhine- lander, reading the doctored bills over Lyons' shoulder, was confounded. He looked at Helen. There was no getting away from what the waybills sald. Seagrue meant to let nothing of his advantage slip for lack of action. He whirled on Delaney. “Get our ties off those ears, Bill, and do it quick.” Storm took a hand in. He felt his side was beaten, but would not quit. *“Hold on,"” he sald gruffly Not yet This thing is in dispute. Take your time," he added to Delaney, and a significant ll.).,k lent strength to his words. move, Rhinelander and Storm accom- panied Lyons and Helen into the sta- tion. Seagrue's men, crowding after their tri- umphant foreman, gave the laugh to the Tidewater gang, who stood with their hands in their pockets, and started after the ties. Thalde the office a perplexed and dis- gruntled group gathered around Helen. She showed the dispatcher's message to the conductor. Seagrue, not to be out- faced, came inside to watch the pro- ceedings and demanded to know again of the puszzled conductor whether the ties were not plainly emough for him. In the face of the conflicting evidence the conductor did not know what to de- cide. “Fight it out yourselves, bdys! 1 give up,” was all that could be got out of him. And Seagrue, declaring he would unload the ties anyway, left the office. :)n:o outside, he again spurred Delaney o Storm followed Seagrue from the of- fice and once outside and away from Helen he protested vigorously. Rhine- lander, behind him, told Storm to kewp cool, At that moment Delaney, breaking in, almost precipitated a riot. “Get out of this thing,” he bellowed at Storm, “‘and keep out! Do you get that? You're talking too much.” With the words, he pushed Storm back. It was the wrong moment to lay hands on the stalwart young engineman, now greatly wrought up. His arm shot out and his fist caught Delaney on the jaw. The big foreman staggered. Seagrue’s man sprang to his help. He needed help, but cutting. loose from everybody, Storm, following his assailant forward, started in to mow a lanc stralght through the opposing forces. His men, tickled to death at the sight, crowded in to assist. Seagrue, glad enough to find himselt outside the center of the brawl, walked away only to encounter Spike as the latter, dashing in from the highway, sprang frum his horse and hurriedly beckoned Seagrue to him. The two conferred in quick undertones together and Rhihelander, who stood with Helen and Lyons, watching them, saw them run to the tie cars, remove the billing cards and bring them back. Sea £rue, with the air of a man aggrieved, showed the cards to Rhinelander. “What do you say to this? he de mandeq, in the confirmation of his elaims ‘Call off your men. They're starting a riot here to keep me from taking posses {slon of my own property.” Rhinelander, as near angry as he ever #ot, stamped his foot. “I tell you thosc ties don’t belong to you, It's somo trickery and thievery your gang has put she had thrown her crochet work and her eye was now met by the words of the cipher message as Splke had meant the | secret message to be read by Ses “Changed ties Rhinelander to Seagrue.’ Startled called to Rhinelander With Lyons, the latter read the message as she now pointed it out to them. The two men saw the import at once. Bul outside the station Splke and Seagr. were listening. ‘‘You see you're caught,” muttered Seagrue to Spike. “They'll wire she for confirmation and belp. We're In for trouble.” “No trouble .at all,” declared Spike coolly. “T'll save them the work of wir- ing." “How?" “By clipping their wire, Just keep eool, Seagrue, I'll get you through.” A telegraph pole stood in front of the freight house.

Can't you get a message through some- how?" asked Rhinelander of Helen In agitation, o “Yes," she answered, unhesitatingly, n. I'll get one through for you." L) saying, she caught up an extra instru. ment, ran out on the platform and climbed the pole Spike had climbed, to cut in with her pony above the break. Storm called into conference the handi- est of his men—men whe cared neither for the law nor the devil-and giving brief and hurrled instructions, ran from the station:at the moment that Seagrue with his outfit were rushing the outnumbered Tidewater gans. Pushing stralght through his own de- moralized forces to the thick of the scrimmage, knocking men right and left when he had tgo and dodging in between when he could, Storm, his two trusties at his elbows, struck, shoved and jumped his way straight to where Seagrue was urging his fighting men on. The latter, busy with the main encounter, saw Storm too late. The engineman catching him by the collar whirled him uncere- moniously around, pinioned him before a biow could be struek and with his helpers dragged him victoriously off. Bedlam was let loose. Seagrue's men, seeing the trick too late, ran In with a yell to rescue him. Back and forth the fight swayed, while Helen above at the depot attached her instrument and sent to the dispatcher her hurry-up message. “Seagrue has the ties. Send help, H.” But whoever had the ties, Storm had Seagrue, and his men were now ecasily standing off the onslaughts of Seagrue's men on the platform. The latter, need- ing help, sent for reinforcements, and a momont later the entire gang, leaving the unloading of the tie cars ran down the track to join in the fight, The train was left deserted. Storm, seeing this, turned his prisoner over to his men and chose a moment when he could break away to run to the engine. Gaining the cab, he immediately started to back the train up to Rhinelander's camp, where the main body of their men still were.

It is the failure of man, the proven fallure of his civilization, the frank avowal that his poor instincts have remained in their brutal, primitive condition—~the cruel, piteous admission as to that single motive, which still fas- cinates him and which is sufficlently intoxicating to rally men in their thou- sands to the banner of one #ole cause— that of murder. ‘War has miilions of men at its heels; Christ has but twelve dposties. The cen- turies that are past have furnished va- rious examples. In pllgrimages, such as that of Compostella, some few men met year by year to fight together against their vices to strive to diminish them by the example of remorse, and thua to purify the atmosphere of life and of the dutfes imposed by honor. The crusades gathered together in their thousands those heroes whio were fired by an exalted poetical ideal to go forth to defend a faith--the sangfifier of their energies, thelr defense amid the sorrows of the earth, and the vehicle of a Bible which, in testaments Shakespearean in their crudity, laid bare the vices of that day, which are equally those of our own time—lust, drunkenness, pride and cupldity.

The hill had been won and lost, but the ties had been firmly held and were safely in Rhinelander’'s possession, The moment the fight was decided, Storm, with Helen, went back to the em- gine to get their personal prisoner, the redoubtable Spike, They took him back to whero the sheriff was giving his or- ders for the lisposition of those under arrest.
