A minute later the brakes had been set and Buck and I were off As we swung down from the engine step, Maclise jgined us, and we went to meet the Man with the lantern He was the fireman of the engine ahead, and when we got around or the track I saw that our tion” was stopped just a 1 farther on. “What ts it, Barty? sald Maclise, when we came up to the fireman. “It's them hellfired wreckers again,” was the gritting reply “Rail joint disconnected and sprung out s0o’s to let us off down the mountain.” I thought {t was up to me to go |back and tell the boss, but |wasn't any need of it. The stop or the slow running or som roused him, and he was dressed and coming along beside th engine. When he came up, Maclise told him why we were stopping. He didn’t say anything about the rail break, but he did ask, sort of sharp and quick, what engine that was up ahead. I don’t know what him. Chandler turned to go back to his engine, and the rest of us were moving along the other way the boss setting the pace with Maclise at his elbow. Three rail lengths ahead of the stopped light engine we came to the break. The head engineer and another man were down on their hands and knees examining it, and when they stood I saw that the other man was Mr. Van Britt. “What?” said the boss; “you here?” Our only millionaire nodded “I ride the line once in a while Just to see how things are going,” he returned crisply The boss didn’t say anything more, but he knelt to look at the break. It was @ trap, all right, set, beyond all question of doubt, to catch the private car special. The fish plates had been removed from a joint in the left-hand rail and the end of the downhill rail had been sprung out to make a derailing rwitch, which was held in position by the insertion of one of the fish plates between the rail webs If we had hit the trap, going at even ordinary mountain-climbing speed, there would have b nothing left to} tell the tale but a head of scrap at| the bottom of the thousand-foot| dump. ‘There wasn't very much talk made | by anybody, Under Mr, Van Britt's directions the engineer and fireman of the pilot engine brought tools and the break was repaired. All they{ had to do was to spring the bent rail| back into place and spike it, and bolt the fish-plates on again While they were doing it the bons stood aside with Mr. Van Britt, and| heard what was said. Mr. Van| Britt began it by saying, “We don’'t| need any detectives thi You! are on your way to Strathcona to put a crimp in the smelter squeeze— the last of the Red Tower monop- oltes Dawes told me.
