CHAPTER XXTX ‘The Murder Madman I knew what we were up against} when we headed down to the railroad lay-out, the chief and I, leaving the good old major thoughtfully puffing | Mis cigar in the club smoking room. With a strike due to be pulled off in fa litte more than threeghours there |were about a million things that! would have to be jerked around into shape and propped up so that they could stand by themselves while the Short Line was taking a vacation, | And there was only « litte handful of us in the headquarters to do the Jerking and propping. But it was precisely In a crtsia lke | that the boss could shine, #rom the | minute we hit the tremendous job he was all there, carrying the whole map of the Short Line tn his head, thinking straight from the shoulder, | and never missing a lick; and I don’t believe anybody would ever have #us pected that he was a beaten man, | | pushed to the ropes tn the final round} with the grafters, his reputation a# @ successful railroad manager as good as gone, and his warm little jovedream knocked sky-winding for- ever and a day. Luckily, we found Fred May stil! lat bie desk, and he was promptly, | clamped to the telephone and tok to/ | cot busy spreading the hurry call. In half an ur every relief operator we had in Portal City was ta the wire Jroom, and the back-breaking job of | preparing a thousand miles of ralk Trond for a sudden"tie-up was tn full! «wing. Mr. Perkins, as division #u | perintendent, was in touch with the }local labor unions, and a conference was held with the strike leaders. Persuading and insisting by turns, | Mr. Norcross fought out the neces: sary compromises with the unions. All ordinary traffic would be sus pended at midnight, but passenger trains en route were to be run thru to our connecting line terminals east and west, livestock trains were to be laid out only where there were feeding corrals, and perishable freight was to be taken to its dew tination, wherever that might ba In addition to these concessions, the strikers agreed to allow the mail trains to run without interrup- tion, with our promise that they | would not carry passengers. Hos | kins and his committee bucked a} [little at this, but got down when / lthey were shown that they could/ |not afford to risk a clash with the |government. This exteption ad | mitted, another followed, as a mat. | |ter of course. If the mail trains were to be run, some of the tele- \graph operators would have to re | main on dutp, at least to the extent lof handling train orders. With these generalities out of the | way, we got down to details. “Fire alarm” wires were sent to the vari |ous elties and towns on the lines asking for immediate information regarding food and fuel supplies: and the strike leaders were notified that, -for sheer humanity's sake, they would have to permit the han- dling of provision trains in cases where they were absolutely needed. By 11 o’clotk the tangle wae get ting itself pretty well straightened out. Some of the trains had already been abandoned, and the others were moving along to the agreed-upon destinations. Kirgan had takep hold in the Portal City yard, and by | putting on extra crews was getting | the needful shifting and car sorties | into shape; and the Portal City em- ployes, acting upon their own initt | ative, were picketing the yard and| company buildings to protect them | from looters or firesetters. Mr. | Van Britt's special, so the wires! told us, was at Lesterburg, and it| was likely to stay there; and Mr. Van Britt, himself, couldn't be| reached. It was halfpast eleven that we got the first real yelp from some body who was getting pinched, It came in the shape of a wire from the Strathcona night operator. A| party of men—“mine owners” the} operator called them—had just heard of the impending railroad tle up. They had been meaning to come in on, the regular night train, but that had been abandoned, So now they were offering all kinds of | money for @ special to bring them to Portal City. It was reprenented that there were millions at stake. Couldn't we do something? Mr. Norcross had kept Hoskins | and a few of the other local strike | leaders where he could get hold of | them, and he put the request up to them as @ matter that was now out of his hands, Would they allow him to run @ one-car special from the gold camp to Portal City after mid night? It was for them to say. Hoskins and his accomplices went off to talk it over with some of the other men, When the big freight conductor came back be was alone and was grinning good-naturedly. “We ain't aimin’ to make the} company lose any good money that |comes a-rolling down the hill at it, | Mister Norcross,” be said. “Cinch these here Strathcona hurry-boys | | fr all you can get out o’ them, and) if you'll lend us the loan of the| wires, we'll pass the word to let the | special come on thru.” POLIVIA, PM WORKING ON PATENT AND | WISH YOU'D DOME ‘THE FAVOR OF HITTING ME ON , ‘THE HEAD WITH ‘THIS HAMMER: ‘ar. * THE BEST THIN “Nobody screamed; nobody ut tered a sound.
