Donohue got the Strathcona op erator in less than half a minute after I fired my order at him, and the answer came almost without a break | “Charter of special train was to R.| | Hatch, of Portal City, and of engine | 416 to man named Collingwood.” | Gosh! but this did settle it! I didn’t run back to the office with the news | I flew. It was like firing a gun in amongst the three who were waiting, | but it had to be done. The major | | groaned and said, “Oh, good God!" and Mra. Sheila sat down and put her face in her hands, The boss was the only one who knew what to do and he did it; vanished like a shot in the direction of the dispatcher’s office, | | In about fifteen of the longest min- | utes I ever lived he came back, shak- ing his head. 1 knew what he had been trying to do, There was one night telegraph station on the branch | “ta mining camp halfway down the grade on Slide mountain—and he had been trying to get word there to | stop the wild engine, |_ “He has either bribed or bullied his | engine crew,” he told the major. “I/ wired and had a stop signal eet for | them at the Antonio mine, but they overran it, going at full speed down | the bill.” | It was plain enough now what Col lingwood was trying to do. The mur-| der mania had got a firm hold of ite weapon. Collingwood knew that Hatch was on the special, and he was |gotng to chase that one-car train until ft made a stop somewhere and then smash into it for blood. After| Mr. Norcross had talked hurriedly for & minute or two with the major he went back to the dispatchers room | jand I went with him. There was a word for Donohue, telling him to call all night stations ahead of the spe celal. The operators were to give the special the “go-ahend,” and after tt had passed, to set their signals against the following engina As Donohue cut tn on the braneh | wire, Nippo, at the canyon mouth, | neve in to say that the special had gone by 16 minutes eariier, and that | the following engine was now coming | down the canyon. Donohue grabbed | his key. “Throw signal against engine 416,” | he clicked; and a few seconds later we got the reply: “No good. Engine 416 overran sig- nal” | “Never mind,” said the boss to! Donohue; “keep It up at the other | stations. That engine has got to be | stopped. It's carrying a madman.” | This is what he said, but I knew well }enough what he was thinking. He was remembering that the special |now had a lead of only 15 minutes, jand that it would be obliged to stop at Bauxite for its orders over the | main line. He did what he could to cut out the | Bauxite stop fur the special, ordering | Donohue to tell the junction man to| set hie signals at “clear” for the| train, and at “stop” for the 416. It | was only a makeshift. In the nate | ral order of things the entgine of the special would make the Bauxite stop anyway, signal or no signal, since It is a nation-wide railroad rule that no train shall pass a junction without stopping. Past that the bows grabbed mp an official time-card and began to study it hurriedly and to jot down figures. I wondered if he wasn't tempted— just the least little bit in the world, | you know. Here waa a thing shaping ttrelf up —a thing tor which he wasn’t in the least responsible—and if it should) work out to the catastrophe that no. body seemed to be able to prevent, the chief of the grafters, and proba- bly a number of his nearest backers, would be wiped off the books; and | Collingwood’s death, which, in all hu man probability, was equally certain, | would set Mrs. Sheila free, He must be thinking of ft, T argo ed; he couldn't be a human man and not be thinking of it. But he never stopped his hasty figuring for a sin | gle instant until he broke off to bark out at Kirgan, who was standing by: “Quick, Mart! I want a light en gine, and somebody to run it! Jump for it, man!” Kirgan, big and slow-motioned at most times, was off like a shot. Then the boss hurried back down the hall to his own offices, and again I tag- ged him. The old major was stand ing at a window with his hands be hind him, and Mrs. Shella was sitting just as we had left her, with the big | terror still in her eyes and her face as white as a sheet. “We can't stop him without throw. ing a switch in front of Bim, and that would mean death to him and his two enginemen,” said the boss, talking straight at the major, and as ff he were trying to ignore Mrs.. Shefla. “I'm going to takh a long chance and| run down the line to meet them ‘There's a bare poswibility that I can contrive to get between the train and | the engine, and if I can—~ Mrs. Sheila was on her feet and she had her hands clasped as if she were going to make @ prayer to the boss. And it was pretty nearly that. (Continued Tomorrow) For Good Apple Pie go to Bolat’s. —Advertisement, MOTHERS FRIEND For Expectant’ Mothers leverything I told you.
