Raglan was having a hard time of il.
and when the fact occurred to him, as
1t did many times day, he grew senti-
mental and self-pitiful He had counted
upon all sorts of opportunities evolving
themselves out of the thousand-mile trip
in President Carothers private car par
ty, and thus far they had refused to
evolve. And when the "Esmeralda" took
the siding at Fort Larimore to be out of
the way of mysterious special speeding
eastward, nine of the ten hundred miles
had been measured off, and he could count
his chances for free speech with Helen
Langham on the fingers of a badly mu-
tilated hand.
Now, though he did not look it in the
least. Raglan was a fighter by nature.
and the irksome thing about the dead
lock of opportunities was that there was
nothing to fight True, he was only the
company's consulting engineer, and his
standing in the private-car party was
technical rather than social; but in his
most unreasonable mood he could not say
that the technicalities made any differ
ence. He had properly met" Miss Lang
ham and her aunt, and the two Misses
Carothers at Old Orchard the summer
before and for aught he could see he was
as acceptable in rough tweeds in Wy
oming as he had been in outing fiannels
or a dress coat at the summer resort.

dumb at the word and turned away from
her. But she did not leave him. On the

to be decently ashamed of himself, and
he explained the mystery at some length.

They stood watching the growing smoke
cloud on the horizon, and the little knot
of station loungers on the platform oppo-
site did the same. IL was In this interval,
when all eyes were turned westward, that
a number OF curious things went forward
unnoted By any Of the onlookers.
The first of these concerned the big
eight wheeler standing on the side-track
In readiness TO relieve the locomotive of
the incoming train. The men OF its crew,
the engineer, hremen and coal passer,
were in their places in the cab, and no
one saw a fourth man in grimy over

its engine coupled on, ready to follow
the treasure train eastward, paused until

cars, and then crept under the Esmeralda

and the man was out again and ready TO
dart under the armored express car when
it came to a stand at the station plat
form.
This time Raglan saw him; saw him
dive under the car and hammer fiercely
at the brake machinery. But at the criti
cal moment his attention was distracted
by his companion. The rear platform
of the "Esmeralda" extended the full
width of the car, and Miss Langham was
standing at the guard railing on the side
nearest the station. When she cried out
and beckoned him she was leaning over
and looking forward.
Come here, quick! o, merciful heev-
ems, they are killing him.
Raglan got but a fleeting glimpse over
her shoulder, but what he saw made him
climb the railing to drop quickly to the
ground and run to the rescue. A dozen
armed men had surrounded the "Esmer-
alda's" engine; some of them were
swarming aboard others had overpowered
the engineer and fireman, dragging them
from the cab and beating them with
clenched fists and dubbed guns
The moment was propitious for the at

treasure car had been detached and was al

fellow on the opposite siding was heav-

ton the armored express car drew all
eyes while it's windowless bulk screened
the mellay at the "Esmeraldas" engine.
The mellay was over before Raglan
could run the necessary car length. The
engineer and fireman, bleeding and insen-
sible, were flung aside; two OF the armed
men sprang to the front platform of the
presidents car, while the others took
their places on the locomotive, and the
next instant the Esmeralda lunged for
ward as from the impact Of a mighty pro-
jectile.

Miss Langham was clinging to the rail-

terror; but she gave glad little cry when
he swung up beside her. The car was
flying around the curve in the siding, ca

reached for the air-brake cord. Where

None the less, the Intangible obstacles
