Past that, things rocked along until the hands of the big # time clock in the dispatcher pointed to midnight, Mr, Norcross | and I were both at Donohue'’s elbow when the map at the wires, east and west, clicked in their “Good-night,.” which was the signal that the Pio neer Short Line had laid down on the job and gone out of business. I couldn't compare it to anything but a funeral bell, and that's about | what it was, No matter how «hort | the strike might be, it was going | to smash us good and plenty, And/| whatever else might come of it, it was a cinch that it would squeese the last little breath of life out of | |the Norcross management for good and all. As if to confirm that sort of {doleful foreboding of mine, Norris, | | who was holding down the commer. cial wire, came over to the counter | jrailing Just then with a New York message, I saw the bom’ eyes! flash and the little bunchy muscle swellings of anger come and go ont the edge of his jaw as he read it,| and then he handed {t to me. “You may Indorse that “No An-/ swer’ and file it when you go back | to the office,” he sald shortly, and| then he went on talking to Dono | | hue, telling him how to handle the} |trains which were still out and moving to their tie-up destinations | Of course, I read the meange;: I knew there was nothing private [about it so far as I was concerned, since it had been given me to put} away in the files, It was dated from the Waldorf-Astoria at mid night, which, allowing for the dif- ference in time between New York | and Portal City, meant that it had been sent at 9 o'clock by our time. Somebody in our neck of the woods was evidently keeping In close wire | touch with Mr. Dunton, for tho the! strike vote waa only a litte more than an hour old when he sent the| telegram, he evidently knew all| about it, This is what I read: “To G. Norcross, @. M., “Portal City “Your administration has been a| conspicuous failure from the begin: | ning. Compromise with employes | on any terms offered and prevent) strike at all costs. That done, you! are hereby directed to wire your} resignation to take effect one week from today “B. DUNTON, President.” Tt bad hit us at last; not a de cent request, mind you, but « blunt. brutal demand. The boss was fired. No word had come from Mr. Chad- wick, and there coul be but one reason for his silencn In some way, perhaps thru the late boosting of the stock, the New Yorkers had squeezed him out. We were shot dead in the trenches. I didn’t understand how the chief could take it so quietly, unless it was because he had been hammered so long and so hard that nothing mattered any more. Anyhow, he| was just standing there, talking | soberly to Donohut, when once! |more the Strathcona branch sound: | er began to click furtousty, enipping out the headquarters call. Donohue cut in and we all heard the Strathcona man's new bieat. The way he told it, it seemed that one member of the party that had | chartered the special to come to| Portal City had got left, and this |man was now in the Strathcona wire office, bidding high for an en- fine to chase the train and put him aboard. At first the bos «aid “No,” short off, just lke that; adding that it wouldn't be keeping faith with the strike committer. But at that mo- ment Hoskins blew in again, and when he was told what was on the cards, he took a little responsibility ot his own "Go to it, Mister Norcross, if there's any more money in it fr the railroad,” he told the boas, “I'l! stand fr it with the boys.” And then to Donohue: “Who'll be run nin’ this chaser engine?” “Ith be John Hoga» Four-Sixtee nobody else at | branch.” The arrangement, such as ft was, was fixed up quickly. The man who was putting up the money | seemed to have plenty of it. He/| | was offering five hundred dollars for the engine, and a thousand if it should overtake the special that side of Bauxite Junction, I guess the bleat unravéled itself pretty clearly for all of us; or at least, it seemed plain enough, A mining deal of some kind was on, jand this man who was left behind |was going to be left in another |sense of the word tf he couldn't butt in soon enough to break what- ever combination the others were stacking up against him, In just a few minutes we got the word from the Strathcona operator that the money was paid and the chaser engine was out and gone. |The special train had fully a halt hour's start, and with the hazard- ous grades of Slide mountain and Dry canyon to negotiate, it didn’t seem probable that the light engine could overtake {t anywhere north of Bauxite.
