The Wreckers wy Francis Lynde @Meprright, 1980, by Chartes Sorth- mere Bone) (Continued From Yesterday) CHAPTER XXII the time after the suicide of} the wreck | ‘What For a the off-trick dispatcher epidemic paused. Acting upon Mr Noreross’ suggestion, Mr, Van Britt tied his trainmen in, a crew at & time, and gave them the straight tip; and after that the hoodoo died is natural death, and a good many pairs of eyes all along the Short | Line were keeping a sharp lookout | for the trouble makers. | | In the meantime, Tarbell, stil die sing faithfully, managed to turn up a few facts that were worth some thing. In the Petrolite case he |found a lone prospector living in a@ |shack high up on the further side/ jof the canyon whé told him that late in the evening of the day pre ceding the wreck he had eeen two} men climbing the slope from which |the boulder had\been dislodged, and | that one of them was carrying & pick. Also, further investigation | seemed to prove that the rail which the blow of the rock was supposed to have knocked loose had been pre jviously weakened, either by draw ing some of the spikes, or by un screwing the nuts on the bolts at jthe jointa. | Ip another field, and this time un der Ripley's instructions, our ex-cow |punch’ had been able to set and bait | ja trap. By diligent search he had |found the man Murphy, the Clana han henchman, who, under pressure, had given away the Timber Moun: | |tain plot which had climaxed in the kidnaping of the boss. This man had been deliberately shot in a bar room braw! and left for dead. But/ he had crawled away and had got out of town to live and recover at a |distant cattle ranch in the Limber jton, Hills, | When Tarbell discovered him he had cut out the booze, had grown a beard, aod was thirsting for ven Tarbell brought him back | City, and presently there began to be developments. Murphy | knew all the ropes. In a little time, | Ripley, with Tarbell's help, was load ed for bear, One chilly October} afternoon the lawyer came down to} our office to tell Mr. Norcross that the game was cornered. “All you have to do now ts to give the word," was the way Ripley | wound up. “You refused to do it on @ former occasion because we couldn't get the men higher up This time we can nail Cianahan. | and @ good few of the political! gangsters and bosses in the other towns along the line. What do you ay? | ‘The boas looked up with the little | horseshoe frown wrinkling between his eyes “Can get Hatch and Henckel?™ “No; not yet.” “Very well; then you may lock those papers up in your fe and we'll wait, When you can eee your way clear to a criminal trial, with Rufus Hatch and Gustave Henckel ig the prisoner's dock, we'll start the | legal machinery—but not before.” | By now we were right on the eve of the state election. As far as any- body could see, the railroad had stayed free and clear of the polith cal fight. The bows had kept his Promise to maintain neutrality and was still keeping it. At the appointed time the big day dawned, and the political wind-up held the center of the stage. So far as we were concerned, it panned off very quietly. From the wire gossip that dribbled in during the it appeared that the railroad vote was heavy, tho there were neither charges nor counter charges | to indicate which way it had been | thrown, Along tn the afternoon the news paper offices began to put out bul letins, and by evening the result was no longer doubtful. For the first time tn years the power of the political machine had been smashed decisively at the polls, and on the foliowing morning the Mountatneer announced the election of Governgr Burrell, with a safe working ma jority in both houses of the legis lature for the independents. Naturally, there was all sorts of a yell from the other side of the/ fence. Charges were freely made now, that the railroad had deliber ately ditched its friends, and all that Also there were the bluest kind of predictions for the future, most vf lthem winding up with the assertion that there could be no such thing as true prosperity for the country while the Short Line continued un der its present management. It was on the third day after the| election, rather late in the after noon, that the boss had a call from | a mining promoter named Dawes, | representing a bunch of mine own: | ers at Strathcona Who were having trouble with the smelter. I was busy at the time and didn’t pay much attention to what was| said, but I got the drift of . The smelter, one of the few Hatch mo- nopolies which hadn't been shaken loose as yet, was located in the gulch six miles below Strathcona, | and it was served exclusively by its own industrial railroad, which it| was using as a lever to pry an ex-| cessive hauling charge out of the mine owners. Wouldn't Mr. Nor crosa try to do something about it?| The bors said he'd do anything he| could, and asked what the mine) owners wanted. Dawes said they wanted help; that they were going to hold a mass meeting in Strath cona the following morning at nine o'clock, Would It, or wouldn't it be possible for Mr. Norcross to be present at that meeting? Of course, the boss said he'd go. It meant the better part of a night's run, special, in the private car, but didn’t make any difference Dawes went away, and before we| broke off to go to dinner at the railroad club, 1 was given a memo-| randum order for the special. | At the club I found that Mr. Nor-| cross had an invited guest—Major Kendrick.
