at Mineral, Idaho. and Homestead

The other party is working south OF
here between Vale and Huntington.
Its movements are mysterious and nc
man knows whence it cometh nor
whittier 1t goteth." The engineers
suddenly appear in the neighborhood
and it is thought they are in the en-
ploy Of the Northern Pacific railroad
company. They are also engaging mer
and teams to work, and it is gener-
ally supposed they will be put to work
on the old Northwest road. of which

every item was as eagerly devoured
and every change as readily noted as
though he were still in the service.
When the news reached N that the
Iowa packers were going to make a
test between his old road and the Mid
land to decide who should get the Chi
cago shipments he was among the first
to hear it, and no one wished more sim
cerely that his road would win. 1t was
TO be great race. Ten cars Of meat,
all loaded in the same make of refrig-
orators, were to be delivered to- each
road at the western terminus, and who
ever landed them in Chicago first was
to get the contract for the next three
years The rivalry between. the two
roads had always been Of the fiercest
sort. This was due to the fact that as
they lay SO close together it was no
trouble for shippers to transfer trade
from one to the other, and the nip and
tuck scramble for the local business
kept all the division points at fever
heat
AS Barney figured it, the chances in
the coming test were about even. Taken
altogether, the Midland had perhaps i
few less miles of track, but it had more
hills. On the western division it had
the advantage, but on the eastern di-
vision it was the other way. The real
test would come over the middle divi-
sion, and whoever got into headquar-
ters first would undoubtedly win the
race.
AS the appointed day drew near, Bar
ney's interest increased to such an ex-
tent that he decided to overcome his
scruples for once and go down to the
depot with the crowd. That the racing
train would not stop he was certain,
for he knew that these clear track or
ders respect nothing but water tanks
and coal chutes, with perhaps an occa-
sional railroad crossing, and as the
town possessed none of these his only
satisfaction would be glimpse Of vel
low paint as the refrigerators flashed
by, but he considered this much worth
the effort
When he reached the platform, which
was already well filled with people, he
found them all discussing the one sub
ject. Men who had never set foot in an
engine cab were busily engaged show
ing just how the Midland was going
to get beaten, while an equal number
of others, possessed of an equal amount
Of knowledge were showing how it
was impossible. Some were betting on
the time that would be made, others
on the amount Of meat carried, and
still others were telling just how much
the lucky road would clear on the con-
fro af In fho Toovf AhY.oo xao7,c
Barney took no part in any of these
discussions, but stood quietly at one
edge of the crowd waiting patiently for
the first sound of the trains approach.
In short time his trained ear detected
the unmistakable rumble, and soon a
thin column Of smoke appeared far

The steam gauge was beginning to

gone back five pounds.
At the mile they were down to nine

train was enough. In another moment
they were in the yards, and the race
was won.

knew that there was not another drop
of water in the tank. The glass was a
little more than three-quarters full and
five miles to go.
Barney set his teeth together little
closer as the space at the top of the
recording glass began to lengthen.
Two-thirds, and over three miles yet!
Half full-three inches! The strain
was beginning to tell. A look of de-
spair began to settle on the dreman's
face, but Barney only gripped the throt-
tie little tighter and leaned little
farther forward. Two wholesome and
a half! Only one inch left, and they
were still two miles out! How long
would the boiler stand it before burst
ing? The fireman began to wonder
how it would feel to be suddenly lifted
clear off the right of way, and the
brakeman started to edge toward the
gangway. In another moment the wa
ter was out of sight in the bottom of
the glass.
Even Barney could now feel the cold
sweat start out all over him.

down the track, and in another moment
the whistle sounded. AS the train came
up by the lower switch he could see
that steam was shut off with the evil
dent intention of stopping. That's
queer" he remarked to himself as he
took a step or two nearer the track.
II wonder what's wrong"
The crowd. too. had noticed by this
time that something was the matter,
and they began pushing and scram-
bling in a wild endeavor to reach the
the agents window just as the train
came to a standstill, with the engine
even with the depot. 1t took but mo-
ment for them to learn what was
wrong. The engineer, overcome with
the heat and the strain of the excite
ment, had given out and was unable to
go any farther.
The conductor held a hurried consul
tation with the agent. "I'm afraid the
contracts lost he said gloomily. "They
told US when we took wafer at F. that
we were just about even, but here we
are. laid out, and not an engineer with

thought | could make it, but I guess

pay car to the nearest saloon, called up
the house and defantly threw down the
little piece of paper with the order to
sstake it out Of that That the local Of
ficials took no notice of this was proba-
bly, due to the fact that they knew he
was only blufdng, although it might
have been better. if they had, for with
him it was but the beginning of the
old, old story. Flattery was finally the
means Of his undoing. The admiration
of his companions, either real or pre-
tended, for the holiness he displayed
soon had it's effect. Such remarks as
You're too good a man, Barney; they
can't afford to lose you" turned his
head. From steady and reliable
workman he became first careless and
then reckless.
Nor was this the worst. To every
man who openly admired his nerve or
praised Him for holding on to his rights
he considered himself in duty bound to
show his daring until 1t came to a
point where he never made trip with
out taking a drink. Some of the cooler
headed ones soon saw how things were
going and tried to- drop word or two
in his ear, but he quickly advised them
to take as good care of their own bust
ness as they did OF other peoples and
then see how much better off they
would be. It came at last, however.
After an unusually lively afternoon he
started out on No. %, as usual, bat he
had gone beyond his limit, and the
motion Of the engine soon got in its
work.
When he ran the Rock Island cross
ing, the fireman began to suspect what
was wrong and decided to keep an eye
on him, but when he tried to make the
stop at o. and came to Standstill at
the pump house. about two and a half
miles down in the hollow, the entire
train crew knew that the Jig was up.
The conductor was compelled to report
the occurrence, the investigation was
held the next day, and, as the trainmen
put it, "Old Barney gets his six months
twice year"
In a short time Barney and his fam
lily moved to ~, little town about
seventy miles out from headquarters,
where his wife's folks lived. Here he
made his living as best he could, driv-
ing team, working on the streets or
doing anything in the line of odd jobs
that he was able to pick up. He made
no effort to get back on the road, not
even to the extent of circulating pc
tition for reinstatement. He realized
that he had made mistake and was
honest enough to accept the full limit
of his punishment even to the extent Of
keeping away from the depot as much
as possible, in order to avoid meeting
the men who went through on the
trains. But his love for the old life
still continued Twenty years Of con-
tinuous service on the road fits man
into groove from which he finds it inn
possible to extricate himself. He talked
